simple rules. Here is the prescrip-
tion: Go to an active drug store ard
get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.
Drop one Bon-Olto tablet in fourth
of glass of water and allow to dis
solve. With this liquid bathe the
eyes two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up per-
ceptibly right from the start and in
flammation will quickly disappear.
If your eyes are bothering you, even
a little, take steps to save them now
before it ds too late. Many hopelessly
blind might have been saved if they
had cared for their eyes in time.
Note: Another prominent Physi-
clan to whom the above article was

"FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT ON
Ridiculed When First Established in London, Idea Has Met With
 Enormous Success.

The first family" or temperance" hotel in London, the forerunner of tens of thousands of such hostelries in all parts of the world, was opened in Covent Garden about 145 years ago. An inn for the more or less permanent accommodation of families, and minus bar, was an undreamed-of thing, and other hotel-keepers laughed the prof ect to scorn. Despite their derision, the scheme was successful, and made a snug fortune for its founder, David Low. London now has hundreds of family and temperance hotels.
 The edif1ce in which Low started his hotel is still standing. The build- ing was erected early in the seven teenth century, and was originally the home of Sir Kenelm Digby. Crom- wells council held sessions in the building, it is said, and it was the scene of many other noteworthy gath erings before it was converted into a hostelry.
