Eyes Strengthened
500 by Proper Eye
Care, Says Doctor
Suggest Simple Homo Treatment Which
Quickly Relieves All Irritation
end sharpens Vision.

No longer is there any excuse for most
OF our eye troubles. For specialists have
perfected a simple but amazingly effec-
tive treatment which not only quickly
relieves burning, itching, smarting, ach-
ing eyes, but also banishes eye head
aches, eye-strain and blurred vision.
This simple treatment is called the
BOn-Opto system, and Is now being pre-
scribed by physicians and specialists
everywhere. 1t is based on the latest SCI
entifc discoveries. Scientists have re-
Gently proved that 30 per cent Of all eye
troubles are due to weakness in certain
little muscles which adjust the eye. Eye
glasses alone viii not strengthen these
muscles. But the Bon-Opto treatment
seeps through directly to them, heals
and tonics them, and soon restores them
land therefore the eyes--to their old
time strength and vigor.
Don't neglect your eyes. The discom-
fort felt after an automobile ride,
movie or any close work, are important
danger signals. Yet every irritation and
ache can be almost instantly banished
by a BOn-Opto eye-bath, and more seri-
GUS trouble prevented. Bon-Opto should
be in every home, Your eyes are far
more important than your teeth. As
should take your eye-bath.
So get package of Bon-0pto., Re
suits guaranteed. Money back without
question If you are not delighted with
the improvement In your eyes and sight.

is given for no comment being made on
the thousands of well-behaved, law

thief or murderer may claim whole

of the National Education Association
is more important than either of the

are unsound, you have the Congress

fun he and the three little brothers and sisters always had, spilling a whole box of candy out on the table, and then taking turn about" choosing the silver and gold pieces. It was funny he though. but the candy always tasted better, when they laughed and chattered, as they divided out the pieces.
 Don't you think your Christmas would be ever so much happier If you share some of your happiness with other little boys and girls?
 If you try to enjoy things all by yourself, you will be like the little boy who ate the candy. You won't be nearly as happy as you think you will.
 There is way that you can share your happiness with poor little boys and girls, who haven't any toys or food or clothes. even. Give to the Community chest!
 You have heard about the Com unity Chest, haven't eyou? The money that comes into the chest will buy shiny red applies and big golden oranges and warm woolly stockings and baskets of food for poor people, who are cold and hungry and unhappy.
 Some Birmingham people have so much faith in the Community Chest and want so much to help make the world happier, that they have given $1O,000 to the chest. Many people are giving up things they want, so poor people can nave things they need.
 The pennies in your toy bank may look small by the side of the S1O,OOO but, if all the pennies that are drop ped into the chest are turned into dollars, think how much money there would be, to make happiness for many people.
 There is one little boy who is giving the money he earns on Sat urdays, running errands and filling coal bins. There is one little girl who is giving up candy and ice cream for month and sending that money to the chest.
 Wouldn't everyone of you just love to have a part in spreading happiness Christmas Day? Wouldn't you enjoy your own Christmas stocking more, if you knew that your pennies were bringing happi- ness to some little child, who last Christmas cried over an empty stocking.
 If you want to really and truly enjoy your Christmas, send all you can to the Community Chest and then your happiness will stretch until it reaches over little children and make them happy, too.
 Yours for the Community Chest,
 MACY NASH,
 Editor of the Childrcn's Page.

ALETTER FOR CHILDREN
Dear Children Everywhere |:

Dear Children Everywhere
 l can hardly wait until next Sun day to tell you who will win the prize for writing Santa Claus the best letter!
 When the contest closed yester- day afternoon, whole avalanche of letters had drifted into my mail box. Everyone of you slected such nice thing to wish for and your letters are so neat and interesting, with most of the periods and Ques- tions marks exactly where they be- long and all the capital letters so carefully made. Santa Claus and l are having the hardest kind of time trying to decide from all the very good letters, which is the very best.
 But you will know next Sunday, so watch to see if you are the lucky one,
 While you are thinking hard ohtu what you are going to get fer Christmas. I wonder if you are thinking at all about the poor little boys and girls who will be cold and hungry and unhappy Christmas Day. There are lots and lots of them right here in Birmingham.
 Have you ever heard about the little boy, who had big box of candy that he decided he would eat all by himself, without giving any body else single piece?
 He took it off in a corner, where no one would see him and he opened the lid of the hox. There were rows and rows of chocolate candy. some of it wrapped in shiny gold and silver paper.
 The first three or four pieces he ate were awfully good! And he was having the best time all by himself. He had never had as much candy as he wanted before, be- cause there were three little broth CTS and sisters, who always had to have thsir share. But now this box was his very own. No one knew he had it And he was going to eat every bit of it
 After a little while. the candy did not taste very good. The cho- colate part tasted bitter and the inside of each piece tasted too sweet.
 But I am going to eat all the candy I can for Dnce..' .'' he said. So ha kept ien cutting. He heard his Iitile sister calling but he did not answer.
 Finally ise had eaten the very last ehecolute-eeEered cherry. But he did hot feed very happy sund his head hurt. And oit, he was awfally un- comfortable,
 He wondered why he was un- happy and miserable. He thought it would be the -haIpiest feeling ill the werld to have all the caItdy he could eat. He remembered what
