United States Warning

The eye sight Conservation Council
of America reports, together with the
writers observation, that a normal
human eye must use 40 per cent of
nerve energy to see, leaving only so
per cent for all other functions of
human body.
That 80 per cent Of our population
are using excess nerve force to see
correctly, and are actually compen-
stated instinctively, by the so per cent
of nerve force that nature gave for
the use of the body only.
This robs the body of its natural
power of resistance of diseases,
weakens the mental and moral power,
dethrones the will and reason, brings
on physical illness, nervous diseases,
stomach trouble, head ache, and
moral degeneration.
Nature is a strict master she
never gives up more than she in
tends in one direction, with out over
balanced account, by extracting
more from some other, than it is
willing to pay out.
Science has been trying for 100
years to overcome this appalling
error, but has found no means save
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. belong TO the
same law Of physics as the science of
eye sight.
The American Conservation Coun-
Gil of eye sight, issues orders for
every man, woman and child to have
their eye sight examined once each
year, and correct lenses adapted
thereto, to save the nation from
physical, mental and moral deea-
dence.

Trend of Business
Chicago business continues 10 eH-
pand and all obstacles that have here
tofore hindered progress have about
disappeared
A majority of merchants say that
business for this month will by far
excel business for the same period last
year. Labor troubles that were VS.
ible short while ago have about
gone on the wane.
September Best Month of Year
By far September was the best
month of the year although it was not
as good as many merchants had eX-
pected. and a majority OF merchants
were hesitant in placing orders Tor
large stocks, until they were assured
OF booming fall business.
Retailers stated that business was
on the upward trend and this certainly
brought renewed confidence.
4 lot OF commodities that have for
a long time been held UP as luxuries
arc now being demanded, as money
is more freely circulated now than at
any time this year.
