How to Stave
Your Eyes
Try This Free Prescription.
- Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of : people wear
these "windows" who might easily dis
pense with them. You may be one of
these, and it is your duty to save your
eyes before it Is too late. The eyes are
regleced more than any other organ
of the entire body. - After you finish
your day's work you sit down and rsfet
your muscles, but: how about your
eyes?' Do you rest them? You know
you do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes, busy; you
work your eyes -(until , you i go to bed.
.That is why so-many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
threaten partial or total blindness.
Eyeglasses are merely cratches; they
rever cure. This free prescription,
which ' has benefited : the eyes . of so
many, may work equal wonders for
you. LTse it a short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
If by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wideawake drag store
and get a bottle of Optona tablets; fill
a two-ounce bottle with warm water,
drop in one tablet and allow it tb thor
oughly dissolve. With this liquid bathe
the eyes two to four times dally. Just
note how: -quiekly your eyes clear up
. and how Boon the Inflammation will
disappear.; Don't be afraid to use it; It
is absolutely harmless. Many who are
now blind might have saved their eyes
had they started to care for them in
time. This is a simple treatment, but
marVelously effective In multitudes of
cases. Now that you have been warned
don't delay a day, but do what you can
to save your eyes and you . are likely
to thank, us as long as you live for
publishing this prescription. (Adv.)

Associations Help in Fly. Campaign.
The Parent-Teacher association of
Eugene,' are leading in the -flyless
campaign now being carried on in that
city and to that end the following sug
gestions have been made in printed
form:- Nothing permanent can be ac
complished unless each one does his
part. To merely take care of one's
own premises .Is not one's full duty,
although if all' did even that, much
would be accomplished. The first es
sential is to clean up the garbage and
manure about the premises. - .
Place a fly trap made on the correct
principles, one at least to every block,
and one to each barn. Keep It baited
and attended to.
The most important thing is to see
that no food of any kind is left open
to flies in pantry, kitchen. or cellar.
If food Is left out, of course the files
don't go to the traps. These are -the
conditions, usually, when people say
traps are no good.
Use quart and pint Mason Jars to
keep milk and- leftovers In. The tops
can be screwed on lightly -and . the
contents are. fljr proofs Or bit . of
screen --can be laid ( over the tops of
receptacles with food .in. i
If any: tin cans are used the empty,
cans should either be washed out thor
oughly or else dropped Into the fire
and burned out before putting In- the
sack or garbage can ' for removal.
Potato parings or other garbage
can be burned up or else buried in the
ground. " " -
; Keep the traps well baited. . Try a
variety of baits. If there is milk
about that Is good; decaying eggs are
fine. . Perhaps the best all-round bait
is the bran mash, made of Iran, -molasses,
; milk or potato water, , with
plenty of yeast. .This, fermenting
actively, will catch all the flies if no
other food is, obtainable on the out
side. ,.- : - " jA
One woman ' said this v had rcaught
several flies on . a : rainy'' day,'so, she
guessed, it would work splendidly on
a sunny day. . ". ' , r .
; If your grocery or meat market has
flies . around, mention this fact to the
proprietor and ask him to get rid of
them. It Is quite possible to do this.
Try to see. that your school district
is the cleanest one in town. :: There
will be active rivalry between the
districts.

Gbver- Designs
for Card Tables
By A . R.
- Dancing has not yet taken the place
of .cards, and probably there will be
lust as much need of card Prizes next
winter as there has been , this winter.
So the woman who wishes to do some
useful needlework this summer can do
no better than to make several attrac
tive card table- covers for . her own
use, for prizes when . she - may enter
tain and for ..-gifts ' to those who. play
cards. ,.: . . .. . . ' .
The best card table cover Is made
of t a big square of linen,!, several
Inches larger than the table with the
corners' cut off. Thent eight tapes are
sewed firmly to the "' eight corners
made when ' the. four original ones .are
cut off, and the coyer eanvbe neatly
tied in place,- leaving -the four points
of the table bare. This shape Is more
neatly and easily adjusted than the
full -square, which- usually t is awk
wardly arranged at the corners of the
tnble. - -
Linen of a rather coarse, heavy
Weave, in oyster white, cream or ecru
is a good choice for the cover. Col
ored linen,' too, can be used. " v
'Sometimes these covers are made in
sets, and a very attractive set Is made
with one cover showing a one-spot of
some suit embroidered in one corner,
the second'eover showing a two-spot,
the third a three-spot, and so on. the
set to include as many covers as one
wishes to make. These ' covers indi
cate the number of the tables when a
large xtumber , of persons are playing.
Anybody can see that" this is a fa;
more convenient way of Indicating the
table ' numbers than the usual one. of,
turning a card up on each table; for.
Just when one most wishes to know
where table three is, the card indicat
ing its location is sure to have been
disturbed. These symbols can be out
lined or, embroidered in cross-stitch-' ;
Still another way of marking covers
to show the different numbers of the
tables is to embroider one bird on the
corner of one cover, two on another,
and so on. Blue birds embroidered on
gray linen make a charming display.
. An additional note of prettiness is
gained If the hem is turned on the
right side of the cover and feather
stitched or chain-stitched with colored
thread to match the corner embroid
ery.. 'This color shows In the bit of
hem stretched diagonally across the
table corners.1 j
: Covers such as these described can
be . used to play- on, ' also -when re
freshments are served.' But it is a
good:1 plan to have . separate table
cloths, small enough to bang nicely at
the sides of the . card table, for re
freshments". - , . ...
. A very pretty cloth' is made of
plain,, heavy linen, with a three-Inch
hemstitched hem and a big Initial or
monogram . worked in one corner.
Small tea napkins, are : mode to.. go
with it. : -with narrower hems and
smaller Initials.

Lawn
Games for
Children
By Lucille Caine.'
' Now I the days are fine and warm,
the more time the young folk spend
out of doors the better. Where the
lawn is, comparatively. small, it is it
good thing to ; arrange some ' definite
games, and Vbo prevent running over
flower beds. ! , , -,. -' '
- Some of the best games for children
are those which cost little or nothing
in the way of money.
"The feather dance is a most fasci
nating game. In this 'case the chil
dren stand all round in a circle hold
ing hands. A very light feather Is
thrown -into the air, and the aim of
the players is to keep this afloat with
the circle. - To blow hard Is to send
the: feather i far- afield, while, if the
puffs are not strong enough, the feath
er settles near to, or actually on, one
of the players. In this case the un
lucky one goes out or tne game. . une
winner Is the child ; who eontrives to
hold out until' the end. . '
, The old- fashioned game' of bob-
cherry will provide a huge amount of
fun.. The game is perhaps even more
amusing if It is played with & bun or
small cake, j This is suspended irom
the branch of a tree,' Just out of the
reach of the youngsters. The players
have to advance one by one, and.
Jumping up, try to seize the cake with
their- mouths.. This is not by. any
means an easy matter. --
A game calling for sr. steady hand is
that , in which a flower pot is filled
with sand, or Soli piled up in a cone,
and a small, stick, with a paper flag,
is placed on the summit, at the top
of the small heap of sand. Each child
Is given a twig, and the idea is to take
away a small; amount of the sand with
out upsetting- the flag- Sooner or
later. of course, the .; flag tumbles
down, and the youngster who Is re
sponsible for the catastropne goes oat
of the game. .
The pot Is again filled, and the game
started again, and so on until there la
only one child left, who la the winner.
Splllikens is another game calling
for a good deal of patient skilL A
number of pieces of straw or straight
twigs are" stood ' up ? against one an
other so" that they meet at the top,
wigwam fashion. The players are
provided with small sticks on the ends
of which are crooked nlns." The idea
of the game Is to pull away the straws
or sticks without moving or shaking
the remainder. The children take it
In tarn,' and each one may continue to
remove the sticks Just as long as the
others - are not shaken or'- knocked
down. .--f-L" i.v::S' A V
' The youngster who secures -the great
est number of sticks la the winner of
the game.. . i ' .-- ' - ' ...
PLANNING MENUS
By- Mary Lee.'
' Menus planned ahead for threo or
four days mean a material saving in
time and labor for. the busy woman.
Day-to-day' planning and. ordering
place a tiresome-and unnecessary tax
on the housewife, "and can easily be
avoided with 'system and forethought.
An inspection of , the larder . on Mop
day,' and IS minutes fe spent at. your
desk, will result In far more carefully
and economically arranged meals than,
can a hurried daily inspection. Of
course, some goo& housewives enjoy
ordering and planning, and. to them
the " dally undertaking Is a pleasure,
but many Jbave no natural ability or
fondness for . catering. To these the
preparatlon'rfor meals is a labor and
a bore. StlU others have scant time.
In such cases the habit vf planning
ahead will prove a Great relief. -. -
To write out menus ; for ; aa entire
week is hardly practicable In a small
household. However, planning ahead
for two or three days is a simple task.
Monday's luncheon should exhaust
Sunday leftovers,: and Monday's dinner
can be arranged with fresh; supplies.
If a good sized, roast is ordered and
there is-certain to be meat left over,
plan to use this in croquettes or meat
pastry or , in . some appetizing and
thorouchly. disguised dish for Wednes
day's dinners-ordering fish or some
new meat for Tuesday. Tn day-to-day
ordertns' one is tempted on seeing the

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.- All
roads lead to the Panama-Pacific -International
Exposition this year,
and by whatever way you may enter
San Francisco, be it on steamer, ferry
boat or trsin, you will find at the sta
tion a capable woman wearing a badg,
the most striking feaUire of which is
the-gold star. The-- geometrical si sens
orf It represent protection to all races
and: Creeds. ::;.:.
I If you are contemplating a trip to
San Francisco, It may be of interest to
you to know something1 about this or
ganisation the Travelers' Aid SoclVty
of California." It has Its main offloe
in the Hearst building in Han Fran
cisco, and its general secretary is Mlaa
Ida M. Green.
Miss Qreen has lately been appoin- '
ed to this position, and comes to ft
rich with experience In Associated
Charity and Young Women's Christian
Association achievement.- She was
formerly engaged in charity organiza
tion work in Washington, D. C. and
later in Salem. Mass., before undertaki
ng the .larger work of the- Young
Women's Christian Association in Oak
land, Her training In the methods of
investigating and relieving cases of
distress in the north, east and west
peculiarly fit her to have supervision
of this noble band of aids; and her
knowledge of the city of Oakland and
?an Francisco makes it easy for her ti
render assietanre to those in distress. ,
j Miss Green la a woman of engaging
personality, full of energy, ambftlon
and determination. Added to these at
tributes she has a kind and sympa
thetic nature, without which one could
not succeed . in this arduous under
taking. .,
I Those of you who have not known of
the Travelers' Aid and the wonderful
work it is doing would no doubt like to"
Jeorn something of Its aims. It is a
non-sectarian and non-polltlcal organ-. .
izatlon, whose object is to give "infor
mation, advice, - guidance and protec
tion,' - It is a living movement, with
Ids in- every suburb of San Francisco. '
and co-operates with organizations of
like nature all over the world. There
Is no field in the social service world
where there la so much opportunity to
to definite acts of kindness, nor any '
field where, it requires more self-sac-
rlflce or efficiency in order to be suc
cessful. '.!...-
To use Miss Green's own language:
"Our particular work is meeting trav
elers, or those who come to the expo
sition, in order that they may not be
exploited, and' especially that girls
may not get into wrong places. Our
aids meet trains and every place of en
trance into San Francisco, whether by
ship or ferry, both night and day, and
between trains we have all places pa
trolled, so that any one In distress may
be : looked after and cared for. We
have aids who speak French. German,
Italian, and arrangements to get inter
preters of othr languages. The con
ductors, trainmen and captains on
boats have agreed to bring to us any
one who may need our care. For in
stance, some of . the cases that have
come to us today might interest the
public A purser on one of the boat
brought to us a pretty girl, deaf and
dumb, when be thought by her conduct
on the boat she needed our protection.
In Oakland the station master brought
us two young girls who were wander
ing around; the station; and another
case was a girl who ran away from
home. She will be returned to her
family. Then, there was "a crippled
child, whose mother was having diffi
culty in taking It to the hospital ; an
old lady was guided to a hotel, because
she was too; feeble-minded to go alone;
and still another case, some foreign
girls, who had barely escaped falling
into evil hands.
"We lay great stress on our boarding
department.! We have a list that has
been thoroughly Investigated and ap
proved. ' . We hope ' to safeguard al I
travelers, particularly women, girt
and boys, who by , reason of inexperi
ence, ignorance, illness, infirmity, or
others disability are in need of as
sistance. I
"The system of the California Aid
society was: organized by Orin C. Bak
er, executive secretary of the New
York Travelers Aid, who is recognized
as one of the world's foremost author
ities on such work. By special ar
rangement he is spending the year at
the exposition as executive head.
"All of the work of the society Is
absolutely free to the public. It only
wishes to be given the opportunity to
help any traveler who may be In trou
ble of any kind."
TT
be ordered at once, and the vegetables
and salads which should be ordered if
possible on1 the day they are to be
used. WXth- Uiese two lists at hand
there is no excuse for fort etfulness or
mismanagement.
In very j small : households where
luncheon is not a meal of importance
there Is naturally a temptation not to
plan ahead for It, but to use at the
last moment; whatever may be on hand.
Here, again; the -written menu helps
the housewife, for she will invariably
plan a much better and more whole
some luncheon for herself whn she
is thinking it out at her desk than she
will when confronted with left overs
In the refrigerator and the need of im
mediate decision.
Better meals and greater freedom
are th invariable outcome for those
who . cater f by the written menu
method; and It Is a boon also to the
cook, as her memory Is not taxed.
