HOW TO SAVE THE EYES"
IS TUB TITIiE OP A FREE BOOK
At last the good news can be pub
lished. It Is predicted that. within a
frv yeara eyeglasses and spectacles
will be so scarce that they will be re
garded as curiosities.
Throughout the civilized world there
has, for several years, been a recog
nized movement by educated medical
men, particularly eye experts, toward
treating sore, weak or strained eyes
rationally. Tho old way was to fit a
pair of glasses as soon as tho eyes
wero found to be strained. These
glasses were nothing better than
crutches. They never overcame the
trouble, but merely gave a little relief
wliile being worn, and they mado tho
eyes gradually weaker. Every wearer
of eyeglasses knows that he might as
well expect to euro rheumatism by
loaning upon a walking stick.
The great masses of sufferers from
eye-strain and other curable optic dis
orders have been misled by those who
were making fortunes out of eye
glasses and spectacles.
GET RID OFYOUR GLASSES
Dr. John I. Corlsh, an able New York
physician of long experience, has come
forward with tho edict th t eyeglasses
must go. Intelligent peoplo every
where are indorsing him. Tho Doctor
says the ancients never disfigured their
facial beauty with goggles. They em
ployed certain methods which have re
cently been brought to the light of
modern science. Dr. Corlsh has written
a marvelous book entitled "How to
Save the Eyes," which tells how they
may bo benefited, in many cases in
stantly. There is an easy home treat
ment which is just as simplo as it Is
effective, and It is fully explained in
this wonderful book, which will bo
sent free to any one. A postal card
will bring It to your very door. This
book tells you why eyeglasses are
needless and how they may be put
aside forever. When you have taken
advantage of .the information obtained
In this book you may bo able to throw
your glasses away and should possess
healthy, beautiful, soulfully expressive,
magnetic eyes that indicate tho true
character and win confidence.
HAD EYES RUING RAT3 HEALTH
Dr. Corlsh goes further. He asserts
that eye-strain is the main cause of
headaches, nervousness, inability,
neurasthenia, brain fag, sleeplessness,
stomach disorders, despondency and
many other disorders. Leading ocu
lists of the world confirm this and say
that a vast amount of physical and
mental misery is due to tho influence
of eye-strain upon tho nerves and
brain cells. "When eye-strain is over
come these" ailments usually disappear
as lr uy magic.

The Okla method, which is fully ex
plained in Dr. Corlsh's marvelous book,

making your eyes normal and saving

A Littlo Tribute
A few months ago a big man died
In an eastern city, and the daily
nowspapers contained long columns
of stuff about his success in life,
about his public services and about
his death and funeral. This man
had amassed millions of money, and
he had 'given vast sums to hospitals
and schools and churches. All these
facts were given in detail, but a lot
of other facts were carefully sup
pressed. Nothing was said of the
fact that this man had amassed
millions by exploiting the labor of
convicts. Nothing was said about
his amassing other millions by ex
ploiting the labor of underpaid and
overworked women and children.
Nothing was said about the fact that
he had accumulated wealth in vast
amounts by reason of special laws I
and special favors. He was ac
counted a success merely because he
had amassed millions.
A few weeks ago I stood by the
side of the grave of a man who had
never accumulated money. He died
practically penniless. The little
local newspaper contained a short
story of his life, but the daily news
papers paid no attention to his de
mise. And yet, I credit this poor
man with having made a greater suc
cess of life than the man who had
accumulated millions.
George W. Armstead passed the
last thirty years of his life under a
serious handicap, for he was practi
cally blind for that length of time.
He never knew what it was to have
more than enough to take care of
todav's present necessities. When
he died he left nothing but a frag
rant memory- Yet I hold that the
memory of Mr. Armstead will bo
worth more to the world than the
millions left by the exploiter of
labor. George w. Armsteau never
harmed a human being; he never
caused a human heart to ache. He
sowed smiles and good cheer wher
ever be went. . Aside from his
family his old violin was his chief
treasure, and with it he gave joy and
gladness to thousands. Little chil
dren ran to meet him on the street,
and he had a smile for all of them.
Young folks loved to sit in his
presence, and the middle-aired lis
tened to the old tunes that he
brought from his beloved violin and
lived again the days of long ago.
When he could not sav a good word
for a man he remained silent. The
touch of his hand and the sound of
his cilery voice was wuuu "
than the contribution of any chari
tnblc organization. He founded I no
libraries, be endowed no colleges,
but he did Rive pleasure and hope to
those about him. He lived ms
humble life, exerting always an in
Kce for kood, and when he died

Taking an Advantage
Taking advantage of Mr. Hryan'a
absence from Tho Commoner oillce
I'm going to tell one of his favorite
stories and apply it to his present
state of mind. Mr. Bryan's remarks
to his neighbors and friends in Kin
coin election night, after tho good
news was confirmed, led us all to
believe that he was about the hap
piest man in the country. Where
upon the Architect was reminded of
tho story.
A young man in Arkansas was
much smitten by the charms of a
girl in tho neighborhood, and he kept
company with her for several years.
He wanted to propose, but he
couldn't muster up the courage
necessary. Just as he would get
started on tho momentous question
his courage would vanish and he
would falter and change tho subject.
One evening, however, he gritted his
teeth, took a long breath and
blurted out:
"Mary, will you marry me?"
The young lady blushed and look
ing him squarely in tho eye, said:
"Of course I'll marry you, Jim.
I've known for a long time that you
loved me and wanted me for your
wife, and I've loved you all the time
and been waiting to hear you ask me
to marry you."
Jim grabbed Mary, kissed her,
then seized his hat and started for
the door, exclafming:
"I'll be back in a few minutes,
Mary."
While Mary sat awaiting her
lover's return, Jim was walking
down the path to the front gate.
Taking off his slouch hat and look
ing reverently up towards the shin
ing stars, ho exclaimed:
"O. God; I ain't got nothin' ag'in
nobody!"
And that's the way Mr. Bryan
seemed to feel. At any rate we took
it that ho felt that way.
