A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled
and Use 1t Homo
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 Dr.. Lewis there
is real hope for you. He 00s neglect
causes more eye troubles and poor sight
than any other one thing. Many whose
eyes were failing say they had their eyes
restored through the principle of this
wonderful free prescription. One man says
after trying it: L was almost blind: could
not see to read at ALL Now 1 can read
everything 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 mir
acle TO me. A lady who used it says:
The atmosphere seemed hszy with or
without glasses but after using this pre-
scription for Is days everything seems
clear. l can even read fine print without
glasses" II is believed that thousands
who wear glasses can now discard them in
reasonable time and multitudes more
will be able to strengthen their eyes so as
to be spared the trouble ard expense Of
ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions may be wonderfully benefited

FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF

Don't think of yourself at all.
Cont waste an hour of your TINA
scheming or planning to get promo
ton. Don't worry about how big an
increase in your salary you can con-
trive to get-don't let your mind
dwell on money at all il you can help
it. Throw yourself, body, soul and
spirit into whatever you are doing.
Become SO interested and so engross-
ed In your tasks that you have Meth
er time nor inclination to think about
yourself or your prospects or the pos
sibility of raise.
Don't imagine for one moment
that your superiors don't know what
you are doing or how valuable an.
employee you are. Some fellows have
the impression that If they are in
a very large organization their work
Is buried and that none of the bosses
have a chance to know just what they
are accomplishing. The truth is that
IN every organization, no matter how
large or how small someone is TAX
ing notice of any employe who shows
special ability.
Therefore, would say to every
person anxious to get on in the world,
Forget yourself in your work. Lay
yourself out to do everything possible
for your employer, and your employer
in time will find that It will pay him
to do everything possible for you. II
he sees, however, that on are more
concerned about your own interests
than about his, that you are fussy
about getting credit for every little
or big thing you do, then you are apt
to be passed by when responsible

rage. On falling market. with
freight charges fixed by order Of the
interstate commerce commission, this
is most important consideration.
What it means, in general way. may
be inferred from the fact that nearly
twenty years ago it was demonstrated
that the meat packers of Chicago
held their monopoly by virtue of their
ownership of the refrigerator cars. AS
they could make competitive contracts
with the railroads, they were thus in a
large measure independent Of freight
charges.
1t may be said that only part of
the territory through which Florida
fruits are distributed could be reached
by water; but, while this is true, it is
also true that all the Florida fruits
could be sold at the points which
could be so reached. 1t would then
be up to the buyers to solve the trans
portation problem for the rest Of the
way. And, since there is not now and
not likely to be in the near future.
enough Florida fruit to really supply
the markets, provided they could be
reached, it would be sufficient If the
crops were pro6tably disposed Of.
even though all the field were not
covered.
What it would mean in dollars and
cents can only be conjectured. 1t is
said that it now costs dollar a box
to ship oranges to Cincinnati. AS
freight charges will moi follow the
downward trend of the markets, it
may soon happen that the railroads
will be getting more for hauling the
fruit than the producer for growing
and packing it.
The truth is, we have not yet be-
gun to realize what a tremendous tax
upon production the present freight
rates will be as prices decline, and if
there is a prospect of relief in water
transportation, it should certainly be
examined with great care.

WATER CARRIAGE FOR
FRUITS

The suggestion in some of the South
Florida papers that citrus fruits be
shipped from this state by water is at
least worthy of consideration. With
out pretending to understand the prac-
teal conditions of the problem. we
can see certain general features which
make it attractive. Of course, to &C
compGsh anything it would be neces-
sary for the citrus interests to own the
means of transportation. They could
then send their fruit as far as the
waters be" at the actual cost of car

A great many people find it diff
cult to understand why the continuous
reports Of falling prices in the general
markets are not followed by a CORE
spending reduction Of retail prices.
They recall, with some feeling, that
when prices were going up there was
no such delay, but dealers promptly
marked up their prices at the FIRST in
timation of rise in the market. The
trouble seems to lie with the jobbers
and wholesalers. They have been
largely overstocked with many arti-
cles. especially in the line of proMs-
ions. They do not want to sell at a
loss. which they would have to do if
they followed the market. That ac-
counts for the amazing situation pre-
vailing in Tampa and other large cit
les. In Tampa, in particular, there
are four or five retail groceries which
are Independent Of the jobbers. They
maintain one sale price, while the
two or three hundred smaller con-
Germs, dependent upon local whole
salers for their goods, are forced to
MAINTAIN a very different scale. As a
matter of fact, these retailers have to
pay the ;Qbbers higher price for
some of their goods than the same ar
ticles are selling for at retail at the
large stores. Sugar, for example,
sold at retail few days ago for IF
teen cents, while the jobbers demand
ed sixteen cents at wholesale. 1t is
largely a matter of public conscience,
and it would be well worth while for
the people to study the markets close
ly, endeavor to fix responsibility in the
right quarter, and gently but firmly in
sst upon a square deal.

WHO COULD BE lGLUM

Who could be glum in the golden
October month of the year,
The woods tell a story that's olden
But the sweetest of all you can
hear.
The CLEAN Of the sunshine is falling,
Like blessing from heaven above.
And bright tinted woodlands are call
ing
To scenes that man ought to love.
So put away all care and sorrow,
AND Pack up your crouch in a
chest,
Just never mind bout tomorrow
Grab hold Of today-it is best.
Who could be glum in the treasure
OF October's charm for while
The fields offer all sorts Of pleasure
Rimmed round with the golden
rods smile.
