Even though you have glares, they may not NOW fit
your eyes, and this may be WORSE than having no glasses
at all.
We will test your eyes FREE OF CHARGE and if you need
new glasses, furnish them to you at a, small cost compared
with the COMFORT they will givetyou.
If you have never worn glasses come in and see if you
should not have them. Headaches and nervousness are
caused by eye strain.

Even though tho coal miners return
to work 'this week It Is predicted that
there will be a scarcity of coal for the
next two months. Coal dealers In
town recommend that in order that all
are treated fairly a commission be ap
pointed to Inquire Into tho actual coal j
needs of each Individual. Beforo the:
local stocks became exhausted, It was
found that Individuals who had enough !
i
hand to last for sixty or ninety
days were, In the face of tho shortage,
ordering more thus depriving those
who were In actual need. In some In
stances, when tho driver found that
tho party ordering the coal had a rea
sonable supply on hand, drove away
without unloading it, thus saving it
for those who had no stock ahead,
to tako care of just such instances, tho
dealers recommend tho appointment
of a commission should a scarcity ex
ist.
