A Free Prescription You Can Have
Filled and Use at Home


Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses, and those who
wear glasses, will be glad to know that
according to DIR. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One man
says, after using it II was almost blind.
Gould not see to read at all. Now can
sread everything without my glasses and
my eyes do not hurt any more. At night
they would pain dreadfully. Now they
feel fine all the time. 1t was like a
miracle to me- A lady who used it says
THE atmosphere seemed hazy with or
without glasses, but after using this pre-
seription for Is days everything seems
clear. l can read even fine print with
out glasses" Another who used it says
II was bothered with eye strain caused
by overworked, tired eyes which induced
fierce headaches. have worn glasses for
several years both for distance and work,
and without them l could not read my
own name on an envelope or the type
writing on the machine before me. / can
do both now and have discarded my long
distance glasses altogether. can count
the fiuttering leaves on the trees across
the street now, which for several years
have looked like a dim green blur to me.
| cannot express my JOY at what it has
done for me-"
1t is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in reason

pendent to a large extent on the thor
oughness with which the land is pre-
pared before planting the crop. Where
a horse can be used, the land should
be plowed from eight to ten inches
deep. provided the surface soil is of
a sufficient depth to permit it. 1t is
never advisable to turn up more than
one inch of raw subsoil at any one
plowing, so if previous plowings have
not been over six inches the maximum
depth at which it should be plowed
is seven inches
Where hand labor is employed, the
same rule should govern as to depth.
In spading, especially on grass or
waste land, turn the earth bottom
side up.
Whether the land is plowed or
spaded, it should be thoroughly pull
verified Immediately afterwards. 1t is
a bad practice to allow the freshly
turned soil to bake in the sun and
wind, and thereby become cloddy. and
at the same time. lose a large per
cent. of it's moisture.
Where horse labor can be used, the
land after plowing should be thor
oughly disked first. then spring-tooth-
ed, and finally finished with a smooth
ing harrow. Where land must be pre-
pared by hand, it is good practice to
pulYeriZe the soil as much as possible
when spading 1t up, after which it can
be put in a fine condition of mellow
ness with n steel garden rake. The
importance of thoroughly fining the
soil can not be overemphasized, for
it increases the water-holding capac-
ity of the soil, renders more plant
food available, and reduces the num-
Der of weeds.
When TO Plant Potatoes
The date of planting necessarily
must be governed by climatic condi-
tons. In attempting to produce as
early crop as possible, some risk
must always be incurred of the plants
being injured by late spring frosts.
AS n general proposition, it is best to
plant potatoes as soon as there is lit
tie likelihood of killing frosts after
the plants are up and the ground is in
condition to work. Early potatoes
may be planted in this locality from
March 25 on, according to the
weather.
Depth of Plant
Plant the small eye cuttings from
u to ; inches deep, depending upon
the character of the soil-the lighter
the soil the greater the depth OF
planting. Larger sets may be planted
4 inches deep.
Spacing
If an early variety is planted, and
the work is TO be done by hand, the
rows may be spaced as close as &c
inches, whereas if cultivation is to be
done with a horse, 80 to "a inches
usually is allowed. In order to give
the gardener some idea of the number
of sets required to plant a plot of
ground so to 100 feet at different
spacings. the following table is sub
mitted:

Jarvis was finishing the picture OF
Karon Mikal, the young Russian girl

rest were in varying stages of COM

Keats was making a little impression

Karen talked of Russia and her life
there in quaint foreign phraseology,
bue she never spoke of her work here.
When it was alluded to she was silent
as though there were dark places in
her life that she could not speak of
in this happy gathering. Once she
had conftded to Janet that she could
be happy-really happy-if only there
were something for her to do.
oOmelHlnB not SO horrible, she
had said with a little shudder, and
Janet, with her own vivid imagination,
had seen through what Karen mean.
The girl was too beautiful not to at

Karen seemed to instantly forget

Shakespeare. She pantomimed her

Lowell, Mass, March 26.-Approxi-

out on less than "a hours notice to-

Mayor James e. O'Donnell, who led
the long parade of civic and military
societies, called the demonstration a
test to find If the spirit still existed
that prompted Lowell to send volun-
teers to respond to the first call for
troops in 1861. No auditorium in the
city was big enough to contain those
who wished to attend the mass meet

Miss Fairfax Answers Queries
go THOU, SIN NO MORE"

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Recently a girl friend of mine eloped
with a married man. She knew that
the man was married. AS might be
expected this caused great sorrow to
all the family. In letter to her fam
lily, dated the same day, she asked
forgiveness. The whole family have
ALREADY forgiven her and want her
back. Are they justified in forgiving
her 3s l think so. l would like to hear
from you.
The girl did bitter, cruel wrong
to the wife of the man whose love
was evil and to her own womanhood.
The suffering due to this will in all
sad probability affect her life for years
to come. That her people are willing
to take her home and try to help her
live down her mistake is the only right
thing. If they cast her off, what chance
would she have of winning her way
back to self-respect? Remember the
Great Teacher who said Neither do |
condemn thee. Go thou and sin no
more" forgiveness and kindness ought
to be given by all of us freely and
generously.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have been going out with young
man for three years. For the past two
years l have been engaged. We were
parted by untrue tales told by a sup
posed friend. l know he loves me and
i love him. Could you please advise
me how we could come together? I
have been forbidden by my guardian
ever to have him enter the house, as he
believes the false stories.
FORSAKEN
Try to make your guardian realize
the falsity of the tales which parted
you from your lover If they We're un-
true this ought to be a possibility.
Surely no one who cares for you will
want to see you parted from the man
for/whom you care when a misunder-
standing-no more-was the cause.
