Avoid "Moyle" ,Eyestrain.

Many persons cannot attend motion pictures because of the annoying af. tereffects on the eyes Some suffer from eyestrain and others are subject to severe headaches.

For persons with very snsttive eyes, colored glass. either amber, | yellowish green or amethyst, may af- ford immediate relief. It is also ad- visable for those who are liable to suf. fer after viewing the pictures to avoid sitting in place where 1t is necessary to look upward. as the additional strain becomes very tlresome.

National Pay Up Week.

We have many 'weeks' a-dayS such as Baby week. Old Home-week Clean pweek and the danger is that shall have many But there has just recently been added: another week of vast significance and inn portance namely: National Pay Up Week,
 Being abreast of the times Spectator readers have doubt heard and read of National Pay Up Week It is week designated when everybody is requested and urg to pay his debts To those who have financial conscience and proper moral responsibility for debts incurred this may seem at first glance unnecessary However. all tradesmen and merchants nothing of professional men and editors know how widely needed Tn such an urging of public conscience
 National Pay Up Week Endorsed by Congress This national movement is strongly endorsed by mem bers of Congress- It does not strange at a for such movement much to their people at home It would hardly be possible get together large body of men who are as familiar with the business conditions of country Congressman Coming as they do from every section of county they close observers o conditions and when it is considered that these men un dersand the working of great business machinery only be expected that they should endorse ths great and important movement.
 We want to impress readers that National Pay Up Week is not Instituted for the benefit of merchants alone neither is it a reflection any body credit. Credit as whole is very much abused in this day and age.
 It would greater proserty and better times in our own community if every would their debts and get the money into circulation It would be equally ben eicia to the farmer, the aborer the professional and business
 This is the third National Pay Up Week. two having been promoted last year, and they successful. Wherever the National Pay Up Weeks promoted last year has meant prosperity good times and feeling of confidence in the community We hope that this first Nat ional Pay Up Week campaign in community will meet with approval knd cooperation of ctzenn and business men, Let resolve pay debts during the week of February 19 to 24

FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
CALLED TWICE; PRESS
BUILDING SC0RCHED

The city fire department was called
into action twice during the past week.
The first call came the fore part of
the week, the barn of Jacob Kipp, on
the South Side, near St. Joseph's
church, being ablaze. The barn was
full of hay and was practically de-
stroyed before the fire was ex-
tinguished. The loss amounted to
about $500. : :
The second fire was in the ice and
store house in the rear of the Gem
hotel, The fire here also proved a
stubborn one owing to the fact that
the shed was filled with sawdust and
straw for the storing Of ice. The loss
on this building was total; no insur-
ance.
The Dickinson Press building, just
across the narrow alley from the
burning structure, was also scorched
somewhat, all of the windows being
broken on the east side by the intense
heat. Water from the fire hose en-
tered the broken windows and resulted
in considerable damage to the Andrew
Fossum flat upstairs and the Press
printing equipment on the second and
basement floors.

by All Roads Except Ono
Origin Of Fire Unknown,

Kansas City, Oct. 17.-The Kansas
City Stockyards company, in a pre-
hminary statement late Tuesday, esti-
mated that $500 cattle and 3,1O0
hogs were lost in the fire which con-
sumed part Of the yards. Twenty-Five
acres were burned over, the statement
said. All railways except the Missouri
Pacific have issued an embargo against
cattle to Kansas City until conditions
are normal.
Half Of Yards Destroyed.
Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 17.-More
than one-half Of the Kansas City stock
yards, the second largest in the world,
has been destroyed by fire. It was es-
timated after the fire had been brought
under control after raging for two
hours that several thousand head of
cattle had been destroyed. Some es-
Inmates ran as high al 10000. There
were $4,000 cattle in the yards at the
close Of business Monday, and>while
1t was possible to liberate most of
them, so rapidly did the flames gain
Roadway that many Of them were
caught and burned.
Origin Mysterious.
It was the third disastrous fire in

two patrolmen in Kansas City, Kan,
and before they could summon appa.

The origin Of the fire was undeter-
mined and no estimate Of the pecuni.
airy loss was available.
No definite estimates as to the loss
will be made until insurance adtusters
have taken a census Of the number Of
cattle burned, since the fire was con
fined to the cattle pens.
Carcass Disposal Problem.
Disposal Of the carcasses was prov.
