Wj YOUR EYES vfy
Your eyes are your bread winners. Take care of
of them. If you would stop and think what it
would mean to be deprived of your eye-sight, how
utterly helpless you would be, you wouldn't abuse
your eyes in the least but would take the greatest
care of them always.
The moment you feel that anything is wrong, if your
sight is blurred, if you feel dizzy, if your eyes tire
easily, you should not lose a minute in having them
examined. By being prompt in attending to your
eyes at the first sign of trouble you will be able
to have the defect speedily and permanently cured.

people with an address.

"Xonrly Jlarrled" Is Funny,
"Nearly Married," which comes to
the Keith on the evening of October
1st is an awfully funny farce. Tho
story Is funny but to sec it acted Is
funnier. A man and his wife decide
that they want a divorce. When it is
about to bo granted they docide to
make up, then they start on their
second honeymoon without telling
their friendH of tho reconciliation. A
meddlesome brother, who is also tho
wife's attorney, arrives with the de
cree five minutes after tho couple have
loft for parts unknown and tho race
is to overtake tho wife who Is no
wife and tho bridegroom who can't be
on,o Is on. Talk about funny situa
tions nnd hearty laughs, "Nearly
Married" is just one roar after
another from the time the curtain
goes up on the first act until its
final fall on the third when the audlece
is in a veritable laughing panic.
