Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to.do, They know some good home remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would, anyway, charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the flve and ten-cent store, and oftehtimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury' than good. Here is a simple prescription that every ome should use: 5 grains Optona (1 tablet 2 ounces water Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over- worked, tired eyes and other similar 7 PLUMBING AND STEAM FITTING SUPPLIES for Plumbers, Steam Fit- ters and Mills The Norwich Pumbing Supply House Pheone 13.

We came across the Sound—me and the dog—on the night .boat, and as 1 had no money to lavish on a stateroom and the dog was economical, we spent the night down among the freight and tried to keep each other from being homesick. I only relite this incident of early Colo- nial history to show you how near you came to saving $10. 1 don’t know what became of the dog, but 1, event- ually, became a lawy “It was a lucky day the admirable woman who is the mother of my children, consented. in a moment of temporary aberration of . mind, to join her fortunes to mine. At that time I was a poor young lawyer. There were few younger and none poorer. But for this good lady’s lack of foresight I would probably be a poor old lawyer today, but now, thanks | to the opportunity she gave me, I am the “Queen of May” and having bou- quets thrown'at me by my associates in crime. “It -is only fair to add that I have been just as poor a hotel keeper as I was a lawyer, but as old Jim Breslin used to say: ‘You don’'t have to know anything abnu{ hotel keeping in order to keep a hotel.

There were numerous quips about the Grand Union hotel and its manager, quite in the spirit of an occasion closely asso- | ciated with the personality of Simeon Ford, The speakers hailed him as a newly made millionaire, but, although the question was suggested once or twice, no one got an answer as to what he would do now that the Grand Union was off his hands. John McGlynn, president of the New York State Hotel Men's association was the only one who suggested any- thing. “We don’t want to think of Simeon Ford as leaving the ranks” he said. “I have a hotel up in Troy. The rooms bring in money, the bar brings in money, and .the cigar stand is profit- able. So I will give Simeon Ford my restaurant if he will only stay in the business.” The guest of honor, who was pre- sented with a large silver loving cup, told his own version of how he came to get io New York and take up the hotel business. He said: “When I was 15 years old, and had got as far as the fourth reader, and decimal fractions, I decided that any for me when Derby.—Frederick Latimer of the Bast Side has returned after spending A a week visiting friends and relatives at I his old home in Groton.
