If you have any eye trouble con-
suit an oculist Immediately. If you
now wear glasses with ordinary fiat"

having us grind a pair of toric lenses
in accordance with your oculist's pre-

Toric lenses give the wide-angle

Especial to The Gate City.1
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. Camp
Dodge is rapidly filling up with
strong young men. live energetic fell
lows from all parts of the middle
west. One of the big problems be-
fore the people is to give their SOL
der boys the opportunity for sufi-
cient recreation, study, or entertain
ment.
The knights . of Columbus, with
$4,000 members throughout the
country have undertaken the task OF
assisting to provide the necessary
m cans of recreation to all soldiers
regardless of creed, and in addition
they have undertaken to furnish
spiritual comfort to the Catholic sol
diers In each of the sixteen can
comments in the country a large CEN
trail building, pictured above, will be
erected, and in addition two smaller
buildings will be put up. In addition
there will be sixteen national guard
camps, each of which will have one
or more buildings. Then, too, the
regular army expansion camps, above
sixteen in number, the large naval
training stations, and the other
auxiliary camps will each have suit
able buildings. The knights feel that
these boys, who have given up home,
business and social relations to fight
for our nations life and liberty,
should have at least a measure of
the comforts that they have enjoyed
in civil life. Will any man deny
them this?
The state council Of the Knights
of Columbus is now raising war
camp fund of 100000 as Iowa's con-
tribution to the three million which
the knights are raising throughout
the country. State Deputy J. Fl. De-
vaney has opened an office in the
Flynn building, Des Moines. and is
