A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled and Use at Home Do you wear glasses? Are you a victim of eye-strain or other eye-weak- nesses? If s0, you will be glad to know that there is Teal hope for you. Many Wwhose_eyes were falling say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free pre- scription. One man says, after trying it: “I was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now I can read every- thing without any glasses and my eves do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me.” A lady who used it says: “The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can even read fine print without glasses.” It is belleved that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time, and multitudes more will be able to strengthen. thelr eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting iasses. Eve troubles of many descrip- lons may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to Lee & Osgood or %o any active drug stors and get'a bot- tle of Optona. FIIl a two ounce bottle with warm water, drop in one Optona tablet and allow to dissolve. With this liquid, bathe the eyes two to four times gaily.” You should notice your eyes slear up peroeptibly right from the start and fnflammation will quickly dis- xppear. It your eyes are bothering you, even a little. take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hope- lessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eves in time.

New York, March 1.—By a process of attrition, which began at the out- set and continued with little interrup- tion until the final hour, when the market registered moderate recover- ies, prices suffered further severe de- preciation today. Liquidation was al- most incessant and short selling seem- ed to be a factor of secondary import- ance. Various issues, including in- vestment shares, fell under the mini- mum quotations recorded in the latter part of January, which marked the culmination of the declining move- ment for that period. On the surface, at least, the one dis- turbing influence was that created by pending relations betwéen Washington and Berlin. The determination cf the administration to force congress to a vote in the matter of armed mer- chantmen and other questions bear- ing upon that momentous issue were viewed with unfeigned gravity by the financial community. Further cause for concern was oc- casioned by a resumption of the re- cent liquidation in Anglo-French bonds, which were offered in enor- mous blocks at their minimum quo- tation of 93 5-8 with a sale of one bond at the new low record of 93 1- Total sales of these bonds, estimated at their par value, amounted to $1,- 133,000. Short covering contributed measur- ably to the better tone of the last hour, some seasoned issues regaining one to three points, while a few spe- cialties, notably U. S. Industrial Alco- hol and Texas company, showed actual strength. U. S. Steel, which sold “ex-divi- dend” of 1 1-4 per cent. was among the weak leaders, declining to 79 3-4, but closing at 80 7-8, a net loss of 1-4. Total sales of stocks amounted to 752,000 shares. General news, particularly as rep- resented by railway and industrial re- turns, was of a character to make for optimism. Apart from the overnisht statements of the Pennsylvania, Read- ing and Jersey Central roads for Jan- uary, all showing handsome gains, there was the remarkable exhibit of the New York Central system, whose combined lines showed a gross increase of over $6,000,000 with a net gain of $4,977,000. ' Erie also reported an in- crease of almost $400,000 in net for ths same month. Figures dealing with the steel and iron industry show a condition of al- most unprecedented prosperity for the first two months of the year, with no cessation of foreign and domestic de- mand. Bonds were heavy, with total sales, par value, of $3,950,000. United States registered &'s ad- vanced 1-8 per cent. on call. STOCKS, Sales. High Iow.

(Special to The Bulletin.) Putnam, March 1—Putnam High won the first game of the champion- ship serles to decide whether Killingly or ~Putnam are champions of the Quinebaug Velley league when they deteated the Danielson team on the lo- <cal floor by a score of 32 to 21. ‘Without doubt tonight's game was one of the fastest ever played in this city. Until the last part of the second heif 1t was_anybody’s game and al- though the Putnem team had the lead throughout and at times there was only one point difference in the score. The high school gymnasium was filled t9 its capacity and the crowd received thelr money’s worth. Putnam led off with a flel basket caged by Garaca, which was immedi- ately followed by a foul basket by Reddy. From then on the game hung in the balance. Both teams were on thelr toes every minute. Captain Lowe of Putnam and Reddy of Danielson were each disqualified because of roughness. The game was Tough throughout and 50 fouls were called. Reddy was the mainstay of the visit- ors end when forced to leave the game the Killingly team seemed disheart- ened. Between the halves the Putnam seo- ond team beat Killingly second team 21 to 5.

Policy Written by Boston Agent. A policy amounting to_approximate- 1y $300,000 was written by the Boston agent of a certain Life Insurance company of Boston on Monday, insur- ing the Boston Natlonal baseball ‘eam against accident of any nature except such as might occur on the baseball fleld. The policy is a so-called group policy or blanket asreement covering every member of the team. A policy of this nature is purchased by the owner of the team merely as a precaution against death by accident. It one of the Boston National players were accidentally killed the owner of the team would receive $10,000, this being each player’s proportion. BULKELEY FOOTBALL SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED.
