New York--Dr. Smith, a well known eye specialist. and Dr. Judkins. a Mass husetts physician and medical author. make the fol- lowing reports after a thorough test of a popular remedy for the eyes:a
 Says Dr. Smith: When my attention was first called to it I was inclined to be skep- tical. But it is rule of mine to give every new treatment chance to prove it's value. Having specialized in eye work for many years feel qualified to express an intelii- gent opinion remedies for the eyes Since this one has created such sensa- tion l welcomed the opportunity to test it began to use it in my practice little over year ago and am frank to say that some of the results have accomplished with Bon-Opto not only astonish myself. but also other physicians with whom have talked about it. and l advise every thoughtful physician to give Bon-Opto the same careful trial have and there is no the conclusion l have, that it opens the door for the cure of many eye troubles which have heretofore been difficult to cope with l have had individuals who have dispensed with them through the use of Bon-Opto. In my own practice I have it strengthen the eyesight more than 50 per cent in one weeks time | have also used it with surprising results in cases of work-strained eyes, pink eyes, inflamed lids. catarrhal conjunctivities smarting painful, aching. itching eyes. eyes weak ened from colds. smoke, sun. dust and wind. watery eyes. blurred visson and in fact. many other conditions too numerous to mention in this report A new and striking case that has just been brought to my attention is that of girl l2 years old. Two prominent eye specialists. after thorough examination, decided according to her father. that in order to save the .sight of her right eye, the left must be re- AoTed. While awaiting an opportunity for the, operation and still undecided as to it's visdom. her father was told 1t would do = harn to use Bon-opto- In less than

Just think what the saving of that eye means to this little grill Another case Is that of lady 93 years old.

HORWEEN IS
 THE CAPTAIN FOR
 HARVARD CRIMSONS

Cambridge. Mass. January 24-(Spe- ial.)--When the Harvard football squad met on January 20 to decide upon the man who was to lead the Crimson to victory for the 1920 season, there was but one thought in the minds of those present. and that was to select the man best suited for the captain position Naturally, Arnold Horween was elected without a dis senting vote.
 During the 1919 season Arnold Hor- ween played a brilliant game at full- back and he was largely responsible for many of the CAfmson's victories. Horween is line Dlunger and a plunger who gains speed and mo- mentum as he hears the line of scrim- mage. not going at top speed until the defense of the opposition is reached. Heavy. but not to the extent of sac rifice of speed. he has the weight needed by plunger.
 The training of Horween has been ample and sufficient to guarantee the Crimson of field captain the equal of any in the history of the game for the coming season

 PROPOSED BATTLE
 KILLED BY NOISE

Toledo, January -(SpeciaL)-At the conclusion of the Dempsey Willard snarl at Toledo last July, Tex Rickard. the pro- meter, disclaimed any right to honors as the greatest promoter in the game. Tex said there was nothing to the busi- ness but gamble You learn some thing every time you put a show on," said the great Rickard. And the light promoters in New Haven agree with Tex
 Up in the Nutmeg state the New Haven promoters booked a 20-round session be- tween Johnny Dundee. The Scotch Wop." and Champion Benny Leonard. Everything went along fine until the promoters tried to make spread of the affair Sure the title was at stake-as per the articles of agreement-vso the packer immediately flounted this fact to the four winds The result was a knock out-for the bout. Connecticut authori- ties got busy and put a quetus on the plans. It was, to have taken place on January l6
 In Connecticut. as in other states where there is no such thing as legalized box ing. the game is simply tolerated by license. or permit from the police
 When boxers work for a guarantee or a privilege of a percentage of the gross receipts, there is no trouble, but with the crown at stake, said crown was con- strued as prize and therefore. the scheduled battle was a prize fight and strictly against the law.

DAN O'LEARY HAS CONQUERED RIVALS
Walking Champion Has Defeated All Who Have
 Opposed Him

Dan o'Leary, champion long dis
 tance walked of the world. has had
 many rivals who sought to wrest
 from him his title. The most insist
 ent of fhcse was Edward Peyson
 Weston. The two men met three
 times for the worlds championship.
 and each time O'Leary came off the
 victor.
 The first meeting was in Chicago, in 1875. when. nssix consecutive days and nights. o'Leary walked sos miles, against the 451l9 of his rival The men we're on the track practically all of the six days, very little time being taken out for rest The men split the gate receipts, each one receiving approxi- mately $1l,000.
 The next time the two men was in London, in 1877. Again OLeary came off the victor, walking 520 miles in six days, against the 510 miles of his rival purse of s5000 was divided between them. the winner taking two-thirds and the loser one-third.
 The third and lastarneeting was in san Francisco, in 1880. This time MT OLeary broke all other records which
  feating his opponent by 2 miles. the latter walking 5o5 miles The gate re- ceipts of s12,000 were split between the men.
 Dan O'Leary has been visiting this city and has organized d Dan O'Leary's Wingfoot wabsing club here. He visited Dr. N. A. Barrett and was very cor |dtally received. by the latter, who signed his name in MT. O'Beary's book. in which the signatures of the governors and mayors of the different states and cities visited arc contained.
 O'Leary will leave Birmingham today for Jackson, Miss, from where he will make his way south. drawing up in Panama, where on George Westinghouse birthday he will make a trip of SS miles in 24 consecutive hours He will be paced on this trip by Humphrey O'Sul- livan, manufacturer of the O'Sullivan's rubber heel; ex-Mayor Harrison of Chi cago, Morton Larson and Henry Schmehl.
 Dan 0'Beary. although 79 years of age, is still hale and hearty, and his ad- vice to young folks who would remain young is to indulge in walking as an exercise, and to use plenty of it.-By M. M.

wrestled first. second and thrd-raters, i and has decisively defeated them all. He has had no trouble with any of them. Stecher is in perfect physical condition. and if he falls before Caddock it will be because the latter Is better wrestler, a marvel of marvels.
 It is hard to think of any one conquer ing Steeher. Joe is a wonderful grappler. about the best since the days of Farmer Burns, Frank Gotch and other notables. Lewis and Zbyszko. ocntenders for the worlds totle, and Stechers greatest ri- vals. have been decisively defeated. leav- ing Joe the master of the situation.
 However, Caddock Is not to be under estimated. The men of thousand holds, as Earl is called. has been mak-
 ing a wonderful showing since his return from the army He has thrown several first class men. demonstrating the fact that he is still to be counted as a cham pion. If he conquers Stecher, he will have fully demonstrated the fact that wrestlers.
 It is hard to pick a favorite in the match. Each man has his host of fol- lowers, followers who are willing to back their pick with their last penny. How ever, if any advantage does exist, it probably rests with Stecher, the latter S extensive training slightly overbalanc- ing the preparatory work of Caddock.
 With either Stecher or Caddock as champion the game will receive a great boost. Both men are advocates of clean, honest graphing. and either would pos sess the full confidence and liking of the fans who follow the cratic course of grappling activities.

A Woman Is As Old As She Looks

No woman wants to look old. Many in their effort to look youthful re- sort to the beauty do ctor. Tn cir mistake is that they visit the wrong de- partment in t h e drug store.
