Astigmatism Is not a Disease

Because astigmatism often causes
discomfort, and aching in the eyes,
some folks think it is disease. This
is q mistake.
Astigmatism is an uneven surface
of the cornea, the front part of the
eye. This causes part of the light
rays to focus on the retina, while
others do not. 1t is a mechanical
trouble which medicine cannot help.
but which properly fitted glasses end.

in fitting glasses to correct astigma-

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground.
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burleyhas mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t Is pipe to-.
bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like pipe.

"F 0. Spring the prize Aggie from

stay, especially when there were
young lady patients there. The act
ions of that young gentleman in re-
manning in confinement in the sick

cent. of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March 1.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use Of
other cereals, fiours, and meals, corn,
barley. buckwheat, potato -four, ct
cetera
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever except very small
+amOunt for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all Of
the American people who axe able to
cook in theft own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use OF
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-tO-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
sOlutely demanded OF us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers Of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton of the public by further limita-
ton Of distribution. and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tributiOn as possible. With the arrival
Of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
trades.
