Laboratory Work Holds
Interest of Screen Star

In THE Question" the Greater
Vllagraph Blue Ribbon feature which
will be the attraction at the Empress
theater today till Wednesday, Harry
Morey, the forceful leading man, is
right in his element Mr.. Morey was
born in Michigan and studied for a
time at the state university in Ann
Arbor. 1t was his ambition to be-
come chemist until he surrendered
to the lure of the stage.
AS John Stedman in "The CUES.
tion," Mr.. Morey plays the part of a
young chemist, assistant and pupil of
an older and greater scientist. A
large part of the early action of the
story takes place in laboratory, and
Morey, owing to his experience at the
university, works just the same as he
did at school. This part of the pic
ture, Mr.. Mowrey says, gives his more
real fun than he has enjoyed in any
picture he has figured in.

New York.-Dr. Beck, New York state
eye specialist, and DR.. Judkins, a Massa-
chusetts physician were asked to make a
thorough test of the popular eye remedy,
Bon Optic. Their reports were most inter-
ssting. Here they are:
DR. Beck reports, When my attention
was first called to the wonderful eye rem

CAL make it a rule to test every new
treatment which is brought to my attention
Having specialized in eye work for the past
twenty years. ! believe l am qualified to

United States and Canada. | welcomed the
opportunity to test it. l began to use it in
my practice a little over year ago and
am frank to say that the results obtained
are such that | hesitate to tell of my ex-
perience for fear it will sound incredible.
Some Of the results | have accomplished

but also other physicians with whom have
talked about it. l have had many individ-
uals who had worn glasses for years for
far-sightedness. near-si ghtedness, astigma-
tism and other eye weaknesses, tell me they
have dispensed with them through the adop-
ton Of the Bon Optic principle. Many eye
troubles can be traced directly to muscular
contraction and relaxation and since Bon
Optic method tells how to exercise and de-
velop the eye muscles, it reaches conditions
not possible through other means. | advise
every thoughtful physician to study Bon
Optic principle, give it the same careful
trial / have and there is ITO doubt in my
mind they will come to the conclusion I
have, namely, that the BON Optic method
opens the door for the cure of many eye
troubles which have heretofore been impos-
sible to cope with. The treatment is SO

SHIPPERS WIN IN
DEMURRAGE FIGHT
Roads Must Reciprocate for In
creased Demurrage Charges
by Payments for the
Transit Delays.

If shippers pay the increased de-
murrage charges to the railroads for
holding a .car out OF use beyond the
limited period in the future. the rail-
roads will have to reciprocrate by
paying the shippers s. day for every
day a car OF goods is delayed in
transit.
This provision, known as reciprocal
demurrage, comes as a part OF the
order just issued by the State Rail
way commission.
Local shippers are greatly pleased
with the provision, feeling that
though the railroads won in a sense
their fight for increased demurragc
charges the shippers won a signal
victory in pushing into the order the
reciprocal demurrage clause.
Omaha Fights Alone.
The Omaha shippers arc the only
ones who made fight for this fea-
ture. Henry T. Clarke, jr.,, who ham
died the case for the Lincoln ship
pers, did not mention it. Traffic
Manager Young of Fremont, who
handled the Fremont phase of it,
merely opposed the increase in de-
murragc. 81
P. P. Murray, chief clerk of the
traffic bureau of the Commercial club
of Omaha, went into the hearing at
Lincoln fighting for the. reciprocal
feature from the start. He saw that
the increase in demurrage charges
could scarcely be averted, as the in
crease has been granted in interstate
business. and the tendency every
where was for the states to meet it-in
in intrastate business. Thus he cell
tered his fight on the proposition OF
getting some returns for the ship
pers by forcing the roads to pay for
days cars are delayed in transit.

Briggs to Go to the Front that He

In the hope that he might save the
lie OF sonL younger man, John
Briggs, police captain at South Side
and just few months under the As
year age, has applied for enlistment
as private in the new Sixth Ne
braska regiment.
Captain Briggs was the first ap-
plicant to apply when the South Side
recruiting station opened Friday.
i've lived long time and | think
II my duty to take the place OF some
younger man who otherwise would
be drafted" he told the recruiting
officer,
For captain Briggs to enlist means
that &C will have to give up a $3.50
a-month job for one OF $50.
The South Side official encountered
strenuous objection from his wife
when he told her of his application.
I'll win her over" he said. "A
number of South Side ladies' have
been liking TO her and I'm sure she
will consent"
Captain Briggs has been on the
South Side force for seventeen years,
starting as patrolman.
