To Save Eyes

This Prescription
II You Have Trouble With Your,
Eyes Try 1t.


Thousands suffer from eye troubles
because they. do not know what to|
do. They know reliable home
remedy for other troubles but none
for their eyes. They neglect their
eyes until sight itself is impaired
and then they 60 to a store whereI

glasses that do their eyes more harm
than good. ~,
To such people the following pre-
scription will prove to be a boon d
dissolve one 5 grain DIPLOMA tablet inI
a fourth of glass of pure water.
With this solution battle the eyes
twice a day. This will overcome in
flammation and irritation and keep
the eyes clear and bright.
Weak, watery, work-strained eyes.
granular lids and other eye troubles
quickly yield to the Diploma preserip-

fit glasses discard them after a fewI
weeks use.

tive eyes and may be used without

mended by all good druggists.

BACK TO CHURCHES
Germans Giving Up Cults and Re

By CARL ID. GRUAT.
Berlin, March 15.-Germany's flight
from the church, which set in with
the so-called November revolution of
1918, is cbbing. In its place there is
a growing. steady return to the houses
Of God.
Likewise, there Is a decrease in the

out to find something to eat. But for
A while there was little to find. Where
the frost had come out of the ground
along the edge of the Laughing Brook
he dug out a few roots. He even
gnawed little bark, of which he is not
at all fond. What he did find was just
enough to make him feel still more
hungry, and this dreadful feeling of
hunger all the time soured Busters
usually sunny temper so that he was as
cross as two sticks and everybody who
saw him kept out of his way. He did
lot of wandering about. The more
he wandered the more likely he was to
find something to eat. And his wits
were sharp. They usually are sharp,
but now they were sharper than ever,
for you know there is nothing like hun
ger to sharpen wits.
So it happened that the instant he
heard the voices of Blacky the Grow
and his relatives making a great racket
in a distant part of the Green Forest
he sat up to listen and look of great
cunning crept into his face.
There's something going on over
there" muttered Buster. "Blacky and
his friends have discovered something.
1t may not be anything to eat and then
again it may be. / can tell by their
voices that there is no danger there,
and if there is no danger better look
into the matter. Blacky has found
more than one meal for me before this.
Anyway I'm going TO take a chance.
I've got nothing to lose and it might
be that / will have something to gain.
Goodness knows, l hope so. That last
root I dug up is rolling around in my
stomach so lonesome that almost wish
| hadn't eaten it. l wonder what it
would seem like to sit down to a good
square meal and really fill my stomach
once more. Orr I'm hungry
enough to eat stones"
Buster dropped to all tours and
headed toward the place where Blacky
the Crow and his friends were making
such a noise. He hurried, but in spite
of his hurry and his great size Buster
moved as silently as a great black
shadow. No one can move more quick
ly than great, big Buster Bear when
he wants to. Every few steps he
would pause to listen. then hurry for
ward again. Before he got in sight of
the place where Blacky and his friends
were the noise ceased This was SUI
spicious. Buster stopped and listened,
with his head first on one side and then
on the other. Presently he heard the
voices growing fainter in different di-
rections and he knew than Blacky and
his friends had left the place where
he had first heard them. The excite
ment was all over. Buster was unde-
cided what to do. Finally he made up
his mind to keep on. Perhaps he
would find something or some one to
tell him what all that fuss was about.

said the woman from across the hall,
who had no children and was so able to
give good advice on the subject. There
are some features about the Kansas
City scheme that are not so bad. For
one thing you can speak casually about
your daughter in Kansas City and mo-
body can tell whether she is living in
a side street or OCCUPYING one of the
mansions in millionaire's row. And
that will give people something to won
der about and discuss. III your accent
infers that II is miliionarie's row, you
can't help that.
Moreover your daughter can come
to visit you and wear all her two
year-old clothes and get away with
them as new and you can tell every
body how much money her husband 10
making and what a large, generous al
lowance he gives her every month and
what a very fortunate girl she is in
every way.
OF course, 1t will be an inconven-
fence for you not to be able to borrow
all the silver dewdads she gets for
wedding presents when the card club
meets with you. On the other hand,
she can't borrow your good napkins,
and brides have such way of accumu-
lating the best things their mothers
own and which they have seen around
home until they begin to have a pro-
prietary interest in them.

daughter got married and set up house

We Women

I Grace, The Good Time Girl
Grace has but one idea in life
and that is to have good time. She
thinks of little else. She, always wants
to 20 to shows, to the movies, to dances
or to parties. She must always go
some place. She isn't satisfied with
normal recreational pursuits, in nor
NAL doses.
She is type.
She is The Good Time Girl.
Grace attracts young men who
haven't fully struck the true specific
gravity of their minds as yet.> She al
lows them to call and encourages them
to call. Naturally, they ask her for
suggestions as to what she, would like
to do.
Grace always has a suggestion avail
able. In effect, 1t amounts to her hay
ing a good time.
Grace is excellent company. That
is why the boys like to go out with
her, They take her some place of her
own selection and she responds by be-
ing entertaining. She loves good
time. II stirs her imagination and
raises her buoyancy. She becomes
witty. She makes hit" and her
companions invariably comes back, for
more.
Thus, Grace is in great demand and
scarcely ever has bad time. She
rarely stays at home when one of the
boys calls. She would suffer dread
fully if she did and make her caller so
uncomfortable he would either never
call again or else would go off in an
other direction. He would take her to
a show, dance. or a party of some
kind. This would be his reparation
penance, and Grace would tell him so.
She is frank and bluntly out spoken
and the. boys love her for it. They mis-
take it for courage whereas it is moth
ing more than selfishness and desire
for a good time
Grace is the life of almost every
party she attends. She is not exactly
a girls girl, and for this reason she
isn't, particularly we'll liked by the
girls. She annoys them as much as
her geniality and irrepressible buoy
ancy overwhelms them at a party.
Some time Grace will grow weary
Of good times" Just now they still
smack of novelties. Soon they will be-
gin to bore because of their frequency.
Grace win begin to learn something of
human nature and the raw yerities and
then she will marry and settle down to
live life of happiness. This will be
a good time that will last until death.
But inst now she is a tyne.

BANDIT KILLS HIMSELF
 AFTER HIS FIRST HOLDUP
After Second Spectacular Chase Man Who Broke Into Store
 Is Landed

New York, Nov 14.--A lone hold up man, after being overtaken by pursuers in an automobile early to- day, leaped onto the running board of the machine, forced two men from the car and commanded the driver to speed away from another machine, commandeered by pa trqlman who had given chase.
 The man was finally captured after spectacular flight through city streets of more than mile. The police say he gave the name of Henry Goldsten and admitted en- tering the drug store of Jacob Davis and robbing the owner of s30. Davis followed and stopped a pass ing motorist, and the machine pur- sued him down the street, picking up deputy sheriff on the way.
 As soon as Goldstein had been overtaken he forced the deputy sheriff and Davis to jump from the car at the point of a revolver and ordered the driver to speed away from Patrolman O'Ncill, who had taken up the chase in another car, and who finally made the capture in subway station.
