PARIS WATER COMPANY

We have had numerous inquiries
regarding a supposed advance in our
charges for water, and, therefore,
wish to state that there has been NO
CHANGE since that announced in
our circular and advertisement of
last December, when we restored the
old contract rates, with an addition
of ten per cent. to make up in part
for increased costs to us.
Any increase in the amount of your
July bill over those Of April and jan
uary is explained by the fact that the
entire ten per cent. increase refer
red to above was not applied until

THE SUGAR TRUST HAS US.

p, That the country is in the grip Of
the sugar trust Is the firm conviction
of a large majority of our people,
who can see no relief for the present.
The Trust has selected just the op-
perfume time for squeezing the screw
on the consumer. Just at blackberry
harvest sugar is used in greater
quantities than at almost any other
time in the year. The blackberry
crop is a very large one, and the de-
mand for sugar is a proportionately
large one.
And the wholesalers have no sugar,
the retailers have a very little sugar
and the refiners claim they are on
the "short" end of the supply of raw
goods. But the price to the consumer
goes up and UP just the same. Many
are using brown sugar, which does
very well for making jam, though
many people who have been used to
the granulated article turn up their
noses at using the sugar we were all
glad to get fifty years ago, and even
two years ago. The trust has us by
the short hair, and they will make us
come across to the tune of about flf-
teen cents per pound or do without
jam and preserves this winter.
There is still little relief in sight
from the sugar famine which is be-
ing experienced by the housekeepers
and others, of Paris and Bourbon
county and the grocers say there is
very little sugar available yet. The
Power Grocery Co. has several car
loads under contract to be delivered
in the near future, but communica-
lions from the rehners state that they
are unable to set definite date
date when this sugar can be deliv.

A good many tagless and possibly
homeless dogs have been noticed loaf

as if somebody had brought some of
them in and turned them loose to get
rid of the job of paying the tax on
them or of killing the dog. Somebody
may get into trouble if they are
caught at that little game.

Doctor Tells How To Strengthen
Eyesight SO per cent In One
Weeks Time In Many Instances

of many descriptions may be won-
derfully benefited by following tho
simple rules. Here is the prescrip-
ton: Go to an active drug store
and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tab
lets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in
a fourth of a glass of water and al
low to dissolve. With this liquid
bathe the eye two to four times
daily. You should notice your eyes
clear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation will quickly
disappear. If your eyes are bother
ing you, even a little, take steps to
save them now before it is too late.
Many hopelessly blind might have
been saved if they had cared for
their eyes in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician
to whom the above article was sub
mitted, said: "Bon-Opto is a very re-
markable remedy. Its constituent in
gradients are well known to eminent
eye specialists and widely prescribed
by them. The manufacturers guaran-
tee it to strengthen eyesight so per
cent. in one weeks time in many in
stances or refund the money. 1t can
be obtained from any good druggist
and is one of the very few prepara-
tions / feel should be kept on hand
for regular use in almost every fam
ily." 1t is sold in this city by III. G.

A Free Prescription You Can
Have Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear
glasses? Are you a victim of eye
strain or other eye weaknesses? If
so, you will be glad to know that
according to DIR. Lewis, there is real
hope for you. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their
eyes restored through the principle
of this wonderful free prescription.
One man says, after trying it: Il
was almost blind; could not see to
read at all. Now 1 can read every
thing without any glasses and my
eyes do not water 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 prescription for
fifteen days everything seems clear.
l can even read fine print without
glasses" 1t is believed that thou
sands who wear glasses can now dis
card them in reasonable time and
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be
