snow. A fine, sharp drizzle swept in
under the bridge where the man with
the tin whistle stood, and managed to

Holiday season was usually a jolly
one for pennies. Either people had a
great deal more at that time, or they
were bent on getting rid Of those they
had. The man with the tin whistle
kept a little cup that possessed most
remarkable appetite for coEpers! 1t
could hold as many pennies at one
gulp as a boy eating raisins out of a
plum pudding; and that's saying a
great deal! But today the little cup
was almost empty. Nobody had time
to stop and dig around in pockets for
loose coins; it was too cold, and their
gloves bothered and they wanted to
get home, where their children were
waiting to clap their hands over the
packages from the stores. The man
with the tin whistle wanted to get
home, too. he did not have any chill
dren waiting for him, and they would
have had no bundles to squeal over If
he did, but there was funny, raggedy
dog that always expected something,
and danced around in dizzy, delight
full way that wes very cheerful. But
how could the man with the tin whis-
tie go home when his tunes brought
him nothing but numb fingers and a
feeling in his feet as if they had
turned to wood?
However, he screwed up his mouth,
took long breath, pretended that pen
nies were making his little cup ring
like sleigh bells and played the gayest
little tune you ever heard! It laughed

Every Smoker Needs an Eye Bath

If you smoke, or frequent places where the air is flied with smoke, your eyes gather quantities of nicotine. a deadly poison. very injurious to the eyes. The man Who smokes knows how bad his eyes feel when smoke gets into them. In the morning they feel heavy and dry, and only by brisk rubbing are they able to function properly.
 Any. doctor will tell you that nicotine poisoning is a frequent cause of optic nerve trouble. a dangerous condition which often results in blindness. Eye baths cleanse the eyes. and If every smoker could realize just how good his eyes feel after a daily bath he would rather get along without a tooth brush and tooth paste than without his eye bath.
 If you want good, healthy eyes, free from intiammaiion, aches, itching. or burning sensations, and something which will destroy the evil effect of smoke or nicotine on the surface of the eye, go to any drug store and get a package of Bon-Opio tahlsis. Dissolve one lal,iet in g. quarter glass of water and with this golution bathe the eyes twice daily
 A Bon-Opto bath is good for healthy eyes it s,-peDs vision, strengthens eye sight an makes old eyes feel roung Get Bon-Opip at once; a trial Waili con- vince you that every smoker needs all eye gath and that BoR-opto is wonder. ful remedy.
