Glasses time is
drawing near
Winter time is hard on eyes.
The days are short and. the evenings
long. Work and reading are done by
artifical light, and the eyes are
apt to bo strained.
One ought, nt the beginning of,
winter, to have Clinton examine the
eyes It may be no help is needed.
If that is the case, you'll be told
so frankly. But if eye strain is
present, the exact lenses to end
the strain, improve and preserve your
sight and health, will be prescribed.
