War news is
very interesting
,1
Are you straining your eyes in rending
about the war? Newspapers arc hard on the
best of eyes. On defective eyes they are a . s
dangerous strain.
If your eyes are not as young as they used
to be or are young but defective in
refracting you'll get much more satisfaction
from reading war news and be much more'
efficient at your work if you wear properly fit
ted glasses.
Clinton will test your eyes, and provide exactly
the glasses you need to protect and preserve
your sight.
Chaiges arc fair and reasonable.

Your Health and Comfort Depend
Largely on Your Heating Plant
When the cold winds blow and the frost puts a
white coating on everything it can reach, you are going
to know just how good your heating plant really is.
The little ones, playing on the floor, are either
going to sleep soundly and restfully all night, or they
are going to bark with croup!
And the furnace does the deciding not the quan
tity of coal you burn.
If there is even temperature in all rooms in
every corner of every room the rooms facing the
chilling winds as well as the others; if there is the right
proportion of moisture in the air in your home and
your lungs are not robbed of moisture they need, then
you know comfort and health.
And these conditions go hand-in-hand with a

Direct and Indirect Draft so there is no smoke or gas to get up into the house.
Large feed doors big enough for the large chunks of coal or wood.
