When and organ ceases to function for several months or years weakness is one of the bad results. Eyes that are straightened by my methods are gradually developed so that the weak eye takes up its work in a natural way and through proper exercise becomes strong once more. Do not hesitate to have your childs eyes carefully examined and cared for before too much damage has been done to the delicate muscles and nerve structure. Good results assured, as a result of 19 years practical experience. DR.

The el ectric light, however, had its begin ning many years before the name of Edison was known. This is one of the interesting facts brought out pic torially through the Willard series of educational films which are being screened regularly at the Liberty theater. The film for this week is "Charcoal Light." It deals with what was vir tually the beginning of the electric arc lamp early in the last century. The central figure in the story is Sir Humphrey Davy, a Cornish scientist, who conceived the idea that a brill iant lfght could be produced by heat ing charcoal to an intense degree. How he worked out his idea to a gratifying end is pictured with evi dent attention to detail both as to character and sets. As was the case with -the other Willard films presenting outstanding figures in the history of electrical de velopment, researchers were made to provide complete data regarding the appearance of the principal character, and the apparatus with which he worked. Then an actor was selected who could make up to look like Sir Humphrey Davy, while properties were obtained from museums, private collections or otherwise to make the representation authentic. Everything shown in the films is as nearly accur ate in its appearance as careful stag ing and directing could make it -Which Country? Diner; Ham and eggs, country style, please.

The Banner-Courier THE DRAGON I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. I have destroyed more than all the wars of the world. I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns. I steal in the United States alone over $500,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and I find my vic tims among the rich and poor alike; the young and the old, the strong and the weak, widows and orphans know me. I loom Up to such proportions that I go Into every corner of the earth leaving behind me destroyed homes, factories, ships, cities or anything that may get In my path. I am your worst enemy, but yet few take the necessary precaution to avoid me.
