WHY SO MANY USE GLASSES.
l The Unman Ere la Natnrally Fo-
cnaed on Dlatant Object.
Many of the commonest physical de-
fects of civilized man are due to an
Imperfect adaptation of bis body to
new conditions of life. Nearslzhted -
nes8 is an example.
C. W. Saleeby, the English writer on
scientific subjects, says thnt all the
talk about the degeneration of the hu-
man eye Is "undiluted nonsense." The
truth is that "man was not born to
read." An Instrument made for seeing
long distances Is forced to aeeommo-
date Itself to little marks and signs on
a piece of paper. , Says Dr. Saleeby :
The eye which we have Inherited
from our nncestors Is one thnt is used
without effort at long range, merely
containing within It an apparatus en

Remarkable Success
The great house of Sherman, Clay A
Co., pioneer Pacific coast piano dealers,
purchased the entire system of stcres of
the Allen & Gilbert-Rama Iter company,
July 1, 1906. The first year bas just
cloeed and it has been a year of marked
success. The people of the Northwest
have become wearied by the numerous,
almost continual, "special," "fake 'I
and spectacular piano sales, in which
they were supposed to be able to buy a
$500.00 piano for $238.00, etc.
Sherman, Clay & Company came into
this territory without blare of trum
pets, inaugurated no opening or special
eale, but simply stated that they were
ready for business. Every piano and
orgat was marked in plain figures and
thus a child could buy any instrument
as cheaply and safely as could a state
senator, or any one, anywhere, could
order by mail and secure the same
price and terms as he could by visiting
tbe store.
The results have shown that the
people appreciate such a policy. The
business came sales increased in num
ber orders came from far and near by
letter, telephone and telegraph. The
business grew by leaps and bounds.
We understand that even Sherman,
Clay 4 Company were surprised at the
rapid development of trade.
Doubtless the great success was large
' due o the fact that Sherman, Clay
& Company's reputation had preceded
them, for they have been selling pianos
at the conrner of Kearney and 8utter
streets, San Francisco, for over thirty
five years and every Californian will
vouch for the Integrity of the house and
the reliability of their pianos. 8uch
pianos as the world celebrated Stein
way, Knabe, Everett, Packard, and
such player pianos as the Angelus, A.
B. Chase, and tbe many other reliable
makes which they sell would mark any
concern as "The House of Quality."
ihis it tha name by which their stores
are recognised everywhere. They have
perfect chain of stores from Canada
to Mexioo.
H you want a piano, write them for
0g,? . ?d Prioea- They will send
you full Information. Their principal
Northwestern stores are located at Port-
laira, oeawie, Taooma, Spokane. Ever.
