The Eye Slionl 1 Receive
Every Consideration
The eye is the most sensitive orgac
ia the human anatomy, and sight the
most useful of the senses. To neglect
the eye is to endure pain and misery
and to court impaired vision and even
total blindness. The north winds, fill- 1
ed with particles of drifting snow and
ice, and the reflections from sun-kissed
mountaies and wind-swept snow fields,
make a northern vinter a time when
every precaution should be taken to
guard the eye. Should nature,
through pain or otherwise, warn you
of approaching danger, by all means
heed the warning. We test the eye
free of charge and furnish glasses,
ground to the point of perfection, to fit
the need disclosed by science. Our
prices are reasonable.
Our stock of watches, clocks, glass
ware, silverware, souvenirs, novelties
and jewelry is up-to-date in design, A 1
in quality and of a quantity and "variety
to suit all tastes and uses.
Our repair department challenges
comparison.

The problem of the ascent of sap in

is yet unsolved. It appears that In the

so intense osmotic suction, the only
theory at all probable is that the living
