THE LITTLE EYES Are the kiddies back in school again and poring over the same old lessons, or new Perhaps they failed to “pass’ at the last exam. If so, did you rate them as lazy, or trifling? ¢ Or did you do the sensible thing—have their little eyes examined to see if they are capable of doing the work expected of them? LET US TEST THEIR EYES Not only that, 1t is cruel to the child to expect it to study with defective vision. but you run the risk of permanently injuring the eyes. Don’t think that beeause the child is young the eyes must be slrmfg. Much of the eye trouble of mature years starts in youth. Give your child a square deal. Bring him or her to us and have their eyes examined and if found necessary a pair of glasses fitted that, will overcome any trouble. Our line of optical goods is the best on the market, and will be accurately fitted. DRS.
