YOUR EYES AND THEIR CARE i EYESTRAIN Next to life itself Sight is the most valuable thing you possess. To do the most cOicient work, to get the moit enjoyment out of life, you need your eyes in the best posaiblo condition. The first indications of cyo trouble should have your immedi ate attention. Such troubles often come on so gradually that they are not realized at first, but as soon as recognized thoy should bo attended to, as eye defects .continue to grow worse if neglected . The most common troubles ore the results of eyestrain, which is exceedingly prevalent. Unless the strain is promptly relieved permanent injury to the eyes is likely to result, and merely be cause of neglect for a time a person may suffer a life-long handicap of poor sight. c. s. clinton; REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST, JTIII3 SIGN WITH THE BIG KING.

Tim TEep!i&ie prafr Caitsiof TelS Who Oalied Ysir Number Perhaps today your telephone , bell rang, and when you answer-' ed the operator asked, "Number, please?" 'Why. my bell raner!" vou probably replied. You were answered courteous ly, "Will you excuse it, please?" The operator knew some sub-' scriber had asked for vour. tele phone number, then remembered it was not the number he wanted and had hung- up his receiver, or that you wero a bit slow in an swering and the party calling you had tired of waiting and had hung up his -receiver. If tho operator had rung you on account of her own error, she would have answered,'"! beg your pardon, you were "called by mistake." Most wrong numbers are called because of persons asking for tho wrong number, or to their giving the number they want so quickly orso indistinctly that the operator does not understand correctly.
