Safeguard your
 eyesight

It is not necessary that we suggest the symptoms in dlcative of weakened eye sight.
 Any one can tell when their organs of sight are not per forming their functions properly, and when they feel that their eyes are giving trouble should hasten to a reliable optometrist for an examination.
 If you feel that glasses will aid you in seeing and reading more comfortably, come to our Optical Shop for an ex- animation. If the examina- tion shows that you need glasses, we are in a position to fit them properly, prompt ly and with as little cost as possible; if our optometrist finds, however, that your eyesight is perfect and that the discomfort you felt was simply the result of exces- siye reading, he will tell you so and advise that glasses are unnecessary.
 As in the service of every section of this institution, you can rely on our optical service. (6alcony)

fected by Presidents
Order.
MILLIONS SAVED CONSUMERS
Executives Action In Lowering Cost
of Fuel Is Big Surprise-Prices
Subject to Revision When
President Evolves Complete
Scheme for Regula-
ton o: Industry.

Washington, Aug. 22.-President
Wilson unexpectedly announced last
night a definite scale of prices for
bituminous coal at the mines in all
producing states.
Instead of appointing a coal direc-
tor and announcing plans for requisi-
tioning the coal supply Of the country
the president promulgates prices
based on cost production figures COM
piled by the federal trade commission.
The prices are subject to revision
later when the president evolves a
complete scheme for the regulation Of
the coal industry.
"Prices Fair and Liberal"
The president in statement de-
clared the prices are mot only fair
and just, but liberal as WELL"
Message Setting Price Scale.
The statement issued by the presi-
dent follows:
"The following scale of prices is pre-
scribed for bituminous coal at the
mine in the several coal-producing dis
tricts. 1t is provisional only. 1t is
subject to reconsideration when the
whole method of administering the
fuel supplies Of the country shall have
been satisfactorily organized and put
into operation. Subsequent measures
will have as their object fair and
equitable control of the distribution
of the supply and of the prices not
only at the mines but also in the
hands of the middleman and the re-
tailers.
"The prices Professionally fixed here
are fixed by my authority under the
provisions of the recent act of con-
gress regarding administration of the
food supply of the country, which also
conferred upon the executive control
of the fuel supply. They are based
upon the actual cost Of production and
are deemed to be not only fair and
Just but liberal as well. Under them
the industry should nowhere lack
stimulation.
