CARE OF YOUR GLASSES
Weekly Optical Educational Let
ter of DIR. J. Fred Anreae

Equally as important as the mater
ial and workmanship of your glasses,
is the care which is given them. Spec
tacles which are suitable and useful
and which are ground to correct your
vision are something to be cherished
and esteemed. The lenses supplied
by the better class of optometrists
and oculists are designed and ground
with all the care and skill used in the
manufacture of camera lenses and
other precise optical instruments and
should be treated as such.
What kind of a picture will your
camera "take" when the lens is cloud
ed with dust and fngermarks For
eyeglasses to be treated with neg
lect and to be thrown about any
where, left on tables or shelves ex-
posed to the many risks of being de-
faced, scratched, bent or broken is an
unpleasant sight.
The glasses should be frequently
cleaned with a soft, clean, old linen
cloth after slightly moistening them
and should be carefully handled and
adjusted. Glasses are essential to the
success, health and welfare of large
proportion of the inhabitants of civ
ilzed countries and should be treated
as carefully and respectfully as the
eyes themselves.

GO TO BED AND STAY TO
GET RID OF COMMON COLD
Such Is the Advice of DIR. Riley,
of State Health Department

"The quickest way to get rid of a
cold is to go to bed and stay there
until the attack is over and your doc
tor says you may go out again." was
the way DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department Of Health, an
swered the question, what shall do
when 1 feel cold coming on?"
"Send for your doctor at the be-
ginning of the attack" he continued.
"Don't wait until you are down and
out with it. You will save time in
the end by taking no chances with a
cold. You will also help to prevent
the after-effects which so often fol-
low neglected colds pneumonia,
among them, with the possibility of a
damaged heart and even tuberculosis.
"Colds, influenza, grippe, or what
ever we may happen to call these dis
eases, are believed to be spread from
person to person through the dis
charges of the nose an6 throat. To
protect yourself from such diseases
81. Keep away from people who are
sneezing, coughing, shifting or are
actively ill with colds or pneumonia.
"2. Keep away from crowded places
when colds are generally prevalent.
This is especially important in re-
gard to children.
SO. Have your own towel and drink
ing cup and always wash your hands
before eating.
~. Avoid overheated rooms. See
that you have fresh air in the room in
which you work as we'll as in your
sleeping room.
"5. You can protect yourself from
colds as you can from other illness
by keeping yourself physically fit
by eating simple nourishing food; by
drinking plenty of water; by some
exercise out of doors every day; by
dressing according to the weather; by
having plenty of sleep in well-ven-
tilated room, and by keeping the bow
els regulated.
eff you have a cold, keep your
germs to yourself. To protect others:
81 Hold your handkerchief over
your mouth and nose when you cough
or sneeze. 1t is good thing to use
paper handkerchiefs or cheesecloth
when you have cold and burn or
otherwise dispose of them after use,
so that other people will not be en-
dangered.
"2. Keep away from people who are
well so that your friends will not be
needlessly exposed to your germs;
"And fnally-Do exactly what
your doctor tells you to do"

game Of Chicago pool. Tim
stopped at their table and
watched the game.
Secretly, he had always adj
mired Pete and Jerry. 1t was
en- open secret that they were
crooks, but the police had
never pinned anything definite
on them Just yet. Meanwhile,
they were the great lovers Of
the neighborhoOd. Their pock-
cts always seemed to be stuffed
with ready cash.
Pete looked at Tim and whis-
pered something to Jerry. The
latter man nodded. They mo-
toned Tim to one side.
They Submit a Plan
You're a good Teller, Tim,
said Pete. Jerry and me has
always liked you, Suppose we
hop over to my apartment and
have a little drink"
Sure, returned Tim. That's
swell of you boys. I'll be glad
to CO."
So over to Pete's house went
the three men. The host opened
a bottle of rye. 1t took him al
most an hour to get to the
point Of the meeting. And
when he did, Tim was startled.
Pete and Jerry proposed that
he join them in a hold-up to be
staged the following afternoon.
It was all very simple. The
Sterling Bank sent $4,000 to
the Utopia Trust Company
once every week. Sometimes an
armed guard was sent along.
Sometimes not.
The layout was beautiful to
a criminal mind. The meSSen-
gers went by the elevated rail-
way. and always descended the
stairs close to where the Utopia
Trust was located. With a fast
car waiting and a nervy man
at the wheel, how could the
holdup fail?
I'VE want you for our driver
on this job, Tim" muttered
Pete, and it's the chance of
lifetime. How in blaZeS can
we lose? Them messenger

Try Hard Ones

The girls have their singing
teachers, accompanies and many
Of them parents present to give
them confidence and encourage
ment. They all have hiRn hopes
Of duplicating the success Of Miss
Hazel Arth, the Washington girl
whose beautiful voice went
through these same Examinations
to a glorious national victory
three years ago. 49,.
1t impressed me that most of
the young contestants. in their
zeal to reveal q budding gift for
precious song, attempt the most
difficult numbers. They select
the tricky ariaS and the classics
which many a prima donna con-
siders an achievement to master,
and launch braxely on the vocal
attack. AS I heard one con-
teStant stumbling courageously
through her voice pyrotechnics I
thought Of some Of the amateur
acting groups who nov and again
select the hardest acting plays,
often those in dialect, to reveal
their theSpian talent.
Nevertheless, the evening was
not wasted. Patience was even.
tually rewarded with the rich
