Headaches
My talk to you today is very im
portant, if you are a sufferer from
headaches caused by straining the
eye9. It is very important to you,
of course, that you should use
your eyes, but nature never in
tended that ; you should abuse
them. I.; .know that most head
aches come from straining the
normal eye or from using imper
fect eyes, or, in other words, eyes
which do not focus. My experi
ence leads me to believe that all
strained eyes can be relieved by
properly fitted glasses. When this
strain is relieved the headache
disappears. Now, reason a little!
If ; you are a sufferer : from head
aches, and you suspect that the
causa is strained, vision, then my
argument must appeal to your
cateVr My -experience, gained from
treating many cases of eye', strain,
Is valuable, to you. Try the remedy
of glasses as I fit them, and you
will not be disappointed. : , v'

Mexico City. Deo. 87. A complete tie-
up of Mexico's railway transportation
facilities threatens, unless the rebels
can be Induced to allow the railroads
to get oil. The railway from Mexico
City to Vera Cms, the only means by
which foreigners could escape, from the
capital In event of trouble, has only a
scant month's supply of oil. ... It was
predicted here tonight that every
wheel would stop on the Mexican, Na
tional lines within a week, unless the
rebels release the oil supply. - ,i
All Mexican locomotives are ; oil
burners. The oil comes from ' the . re
gions around Tampico, .The rebels have
possession of the only railroad line
from Tampico and thus control the fuel
oil supply. -'-
Real Admiral Mayo, of the United
States navy, arrived at Vera Crus late
today and immediately it was rumored
In diplomatic circles here that he was
sent to supersede Rear Admiral Fletch

federation, also said to have been a
victim of the mob. and Victor I Berber,
the socialist leader of Milwaukee, and
former congressman.
Mr. Moyer claims he was shot, beaten,
threatened with death and dragged
through the streets of Hancock, Mich.
He blamed the mining companies that
are involved In the strike which has
been in progress In the Calumet copper
district for the past five months. He
asserted ' the attack uponhlm followed
his refusal to retract -a. statement he
had made that the Citizens' Alliance
had deliberately plotted the panic that
caused the deaths of 78 persons tri Ital
ian hall at Calumet last Wednesday
while the families of the striking min
ers were celebrating Christmas.
Story Laoks Verification.
Dispatches from Calumet tonight
said Moyer's story had been investi
gated and found to lack verification.
In the dispatches it was claimed that no 1
snots were fired In Hancock and that
no one saw Moyer dragged through the
streets.
When asked what was the motive of
the attack on himself and Mr. Tanner,
Moyer with a wave of his hand shouted:
"The mine owners want to get rid of
me. They believe my presence In the
district will win the strike."
Asked as to his plans for the future,
Moyer said:
"I am going back to Calumet the day
after tomorrow. I am going to win
better wages and better living condi
tions for those miners. The attack on
me only shows the calibre of the mine
owners.
"I am going to ask the government to
protect me, as I am entitled to protec
tion under the constitution. I have
tried to be fair with the mine owners."
Moyer's Version of Shooting.
In his story of Friday night's alleged
attack at Hancock, Moyer said:
"I was in my hotel when a committee
from the Citlssns' Alliance, an organi
sation fostered by mine owners, called
on me ana ssKed me to retract the
charge that a representative of the
Citizens' Alliance was responsible for
the tragic cry of 'fire' In Italian hall
last Wednesday afternoon. I told them
I had unassailable Information on
which I based my statement. I told
them that under such clraumstanoes we
could not accept the proffer of $25,000
for relief from that organization.
"The committee left and shortly aft
erward a number of thugs, and gun
men entered. The leader was Waddell
Mahon, leader of a gang of strikebreak
ers. I was slugged in the head and a
shot fired In my back. I became un
conscious, and they slapped a hat over
my. head, pulled me from my room to
the street and dragged me for a mile
and a half, then pushed me on a train
for Chicago.
Two of the detectives went with me
to see that I did not get off the train.
At noon-they called a. doctor, and 1 was
treated."

This will brave the effect of launch

"I don't expect the proposition will

don't work by fair means. The Calumet

Make It Even Easier
Than You Dreamed
Edwards' terms are best; they meet any and every
emergency and apply at all times, no matter how low
the price. No one seeking credit need ever leave
Edwards' disappointed. .
But don't let easy terms warp your judgment; com
pare Edwards' values and prices with those in stores
doing business on-a strictly cash basis; convince your
self that Edwards' prices are right beyond the shadow
of a doubt, and remember this is a furniture store with
complete household,' crockery and bedding departments
this means one small down payment on your entire
outfit instead of the usual cash outlay required when
purchasing at a store without these departments.

For Our Customers
With every outfit ,old by us "we give free a fine j
dinner set 50 pieces with $75.00 outfits, and 100 '
pieces with $150.00 outfits. We sell lots of these
sets to people who do not need outfits 50 pieces
$7.95, 100 pieces $15.90, so you can see they arc
worth while. Remember, also, that our low cost
of running the store enables us to give you more
for your money than you can possibly get elsewhere.

For Our Employees
Every wage-earner should be interested in this. If the

be much to your interest to trade at the store that is liberal
enough to share its profits with the workers.
HERE IS THE PLAN
From the net profits made in the year 1914, an amount
equal to 8 per cent of the invested capital will be deducted for"
interest in the investment. The remainder of the profits will
be divided equally, one-half going to our stockholders and
one-half to our employes.
