wonderfully benefited by following the

Go to any active drug store and get a

this liquid battle the eye two to four

and inflammation will quickly disappear.
IL your eyes are bothering you, even a

it is too late. Many hopelessly blind
might have been saved if they had cared
for their eyes in time.

The women made a clean sweep in
Umatilla, Ore, at the election. Mrs.
Starcher defeated her husband for
mayor, and women were elected to all
other city offices, including those Of
alderman, treasurer. and recorder.
Whether in the appointive positions
the new offlcials will act literally
toward men remains to be seen. Form
erly, men seldom acted very literally
toward women in the distribution of
plums. But in Umatilla women can
afford to be generous.

DEAR SIR:
Do you ever 60 fishing, hunting or
camping where the trails are steep,
climbing heavy, and the appetite like
all Out-Of-doors?
It's funny how much more a fellow
eats when mountain climbing than at
any other time. There's nothing quite
SO satisfying as bacon --fresh, sweet
bacon, crisp like the air in the morning,
when you stretch your legs, outside
the tent.
MAYROSE BACON
cured from hogs, raised on the farms of
Nevada, especially to satisfy keen ap-
petites, whether obtained on the sides
of the rugged Sierras, or on the streets
of your city.
Would you mind mentioning MAY
ROSE to friend wife? She'll find it runs
in fair proportion as to fat and lean; that
it's flavor imparts a zest to food that
nothing else can do. In a platter of crisp
MAYROSE bacon there is keen enjoy
ment, at home as we'll as in camp. And
don't forget that the Nevada pig needs
to be given a chance.
