A rare and curious thing A perfect eye is n rare phenomenon . Mighty few persons have one pe.ifectCye,,& let alone two. ' Not all imperfect eyes need glasses, but a lnrge portion do, because the attempt to get clear vision strains the muscles, and if that is kept up serious troubles result. ' An examination at Clinton's will settle the glasses problem for you. ,,, If you don't need them you'll be told so i; frankly. If you do, you will be provided " with apair that nre exactly the glasses you ought to have. C. S. Clinton Jeweler and Optician At the Sign with the Big Ring. -if v. TWO EMPLOYES AltltESTEl) 1U I.

Are you one of those who started a sav ings account with one dollar with a resolu tion to add to it regularly? Why not start now and lay aside a de tiniate amount each week, or each month, as is convenient? . It is surprising how the interest on these accounts piles up, once you have a good start. Your first resolution was good and should be followed up with more dollars to help make an amount worth while. The savings account has proven the first stepping stone to many fortunes.

A Safe Oil to Use An engine with caked carbon on the piston head, fouled spark plugs and unseated valves is like a person with a cold in the head all stuffed up. Most of this comes from using an oil that doesn't burn up clean. Polarine burns up cleanreduces carbon to a minimum makes a smooth running, powerful and economical motor. Some motor oils pit the cylinders and cat away the valves and piston rings. That's due to acids. There's not a trace of acid in Polarine. It simply cannot eat away the metal and destroy the efficiency of the engine. Play safe. Use Polarine always. Free from acid, grit and other injurious foreign matter.
