ABOUT LIE Batterie s PHONE 73 PREST tea on LITE SERVICE STATION, SERVICE ..ON ALL MAKES McDonald Bank' Building. . pf3 PREST Sympathy For Backward Children Theodore Roosevelt tells In Ills auto biography how, whon 13 yearn old, he discovered he wan nearsighted and se cured glasseM which opened tip a new world for him. He says: "I could not see, and yet was wholly Ignorant that I was not seeing. The recollection of tills experience give me n keen sympathy with those who are trying In on public schools and elsewhere to romovu the physical causes of deficiency In children, who are oton unjustly blamed for being obstinate or unambitious or mentally stupid." If your child Is not doing well In school, It will bo a good thing to havo his eyes examined at Clinton's. This may correct defoctlvo vision which no one has suspected, and thoreby over come a groat handicap. C. S. CLINTON, Jeweler and ..OPTICIAN.. At tiic Sign of the Big Ring ASK LEO DR. 0. H.
