EYE GLASSES 50 TO 100 YEARS OLD I would like to get in touch with someone who has in his or her pos session a pair or pairs of eyeglasses worn 50 to 100 years ago. The older they are the better. If they are an heirloom you will not be aked to part with them. Our glasses are the most perfect that modern science can make we have hone of the old-time kind but wish to get in touch with someone who has. Phone 239. HENRY L MORRIS & CO. Eye Sight Specialist 305 State St., Near Commercial by force and if the agitators Insist on fomenting trouble "force to the utmost" must be used against them also. Men who appeal to the public to support the illegal 'strike of the coal miners are enemies of the state. It is well that they have to deal with a man of such a forceful type as At torney General Palmer. He cannot be deterred by empty phrases such a the (lompers declaration that the ac tion of the government in its injunc tion proceedings against the strikers is "so autocratic as to stagger the human mind." He is determined to uphold the law and warns labor or ganizations against the mistaken pol icy of conceiving themselves to be superior to that law.

LOOK, LOOK, SEE WHO IS HERE! eraories of the "sacred ratio" of 16 to 1 were stirred by silver's rise in the New York market on the 30th to $1.30 an ounce on one sale and a dollar and twenty-nine and a half cents on another. Even young men remember that in 1896 a Presidential election in thii country hinged on the issue of restoring silver to the coinage parity) of 16 to 1 by Government action in opening the United States mints to "the free and unlimited coinage of both silver, and gold at 'the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or con sent of any other nation" as the Democratic platform of that year 'phrased it. It, was Bryan against McKinley. 1 Bfvan came into full orbed political life with his "crown of ! thorns" speech in favor of the sacred ratio. He almost won the highest office in the world on that issue. Thousands of strong men wept when he went down to defeat. Let us all take heart; look back a little, and reflect that, foolish as .we may seem at times now, there were bigger fools by far in the far and even the near past ard morie of them to the acre; more in proportion to the whole. - . A small minority of the safe and sane voters said no in 1896, and i that ended it, so far as the re-establishment of bimetalism by legisla tive fiat was concerned. But the law of supply and demand has now done what the American people refused to attempt by statute. At $1.29 1-5 an ounce the ratio of 16 to 1 between silver and gold is restored. The ratio might easily move so as to increase still more the gold value of silver, if free exports of silver to India were main tained by the British government. But the British government on November 8th established export restrictions, obviously in order) to prevent silver from going still higher. 1 It is the enormous Indian demand, chiefly, in satisfaction of the Indian trade balance, that has caused silverto rise in price in the past five years to a level which it had not reached before since the early 70 's. ' -But, at the same time, gold has become scarce in Europe and sil ver's production has tended to decline, while the use of silver in the industries and arts has increased. f ; : The world as a whole, too, has come Jo need silver to conduct its w business on the present seale of commodity prices. . . . Sixteen to one is no longer to be despised. It returns a most respectable figure! well dollar-marked, in its own limousine. ;.,:', j- f - - j . v If all th labor leaders were like E.'B. Fish, the Seattle machinist, who spoke on ",The Industrial Unrest" at the Salem Armory last night, .there would cease to be unrest in this country, and commodity prices wouljd drop, and there would be co-operation by all 100xper cent. Americans in placing the United States in undisputed indus trial leadership in the world not only that, but in spiritual leader ship towards the higher things of life for every people, for which this nation was established and set apart by the. Giver of All Good Things. There should be a million men like Fish, to carry his message to every nook and corner of America. 1. The American Legion is after the anarchists and I.W.W. everywhere. The organization has supplied the Americanism that we have hereto fore lacked. The Eye is Delicate as Well as Complex . The above picture shows the muscles which auto matically focus the eye in order to throw a perfect image upen the retina of the eye. When the eye is normal this focusing is done with out apparent effort and perfect eyesight is the result. The Democrats are talking about five-million-dollar campaign fund. And, how they did roar when the late Mark Hanna raised a measly two- mlllion-dollar campaign fund in 1896! . ... For the first time in the history of the Kentucky legislature the Re publicans will have a majority on joint ballot of the senate and house. This will mean trouble for J. C. W. Beckham, the senior . senator from the Blue Grass country. A man after one's own heart Is Charles M. Schwab. He's not In the least worried by unrest created by labor agitators and expresses himself in interviewers as very ontimistic" regarding general conditions In this country. It should be noted that he Is not merely optimistic, but superlatively so. There's a fine sound to a talk he gave to newspaper reporters a few days ago. It has the right ring and should help to buck up those weak sisters of the business world who are going , around with the corners of their mouths turned down and who, when they open their lips, only do so to indulge in lamentations over Bolsbe- viki. I.W.WYs and all the rest of the sorry crew who are due to disappear. Mr. Schwab is an example of the KISMN; Ci AM KS.

It is itneresting to note that of all the American soldiers wounded by the enemy in the great war only 6 per cent died in the hospitals, while I among those sickened by other agen cies the death rate was 66 per cent. That points a moral that ought not; to "be hard to locate. FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT ASPIRIN The Bayer Cross mean genuine Aspirin nrewcribed for 18 years. Mr. Average Salem lte, yon are go ing to be agreeably jolted and sur prised at the showing of the straw berry slogan pages tomorrow. And again, at the apple slogan matter a week from tomorrow. And again the following week when raspberries will be the subject. Salem is coming into her own with jumps, as the center of a lot of primary industries that can not help boosting this city to 100,000 population about as fast as the hous es can be built for the people to live in. " ' y Bratil is putting her best foot for ward in an industrial way. Her man ufactares in leather and textiles are j really amounting to something. This year she will produce more than twenty million pairs of shoes, which will go far in supplying the national demand. They can make shoes for half the money we can In this country and this may yet be a factor of relief for tbe Americans. When, however, the eye is of abnormal shape, much effort must be exerted by these muscles in order to fo cus the eye so that one may see distinctly. This effort is called eyestrain and is very frequently accompanied by headaches or aggravated nervousness. HF.ART AITI MV. The double fisted L. L. L.

Y:, The investigation of tbe accounts of George Creel's Burean of Public Information Indicates that it strict justice could be done the whole ex I pense connected with the affair Aspirin created a sensation when Introduced by Bayer over eighteen years ago. Physicians at once proved its wonderful efficiency in the relief of pain. The genuine, world-famous Aspirin, in "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" Is safely taken by millions for Colds, Headache. Neuralgia. Earache. Toothache. Neu ralgia. Aching Joints, Neuritis, and Pain generally. Be sure the "Bayer Cross" which is the mark of true "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin." is on each genuine pack age and each genuine tablet.

National Bank Building SALEM STATESMAN CLASSIFIED ADS ONE CENT A WORD 1 Is there any such person as a neighbor these days? In the old times there were homes and not apartments. We knew who lived near us, families owned their homes and lived in them for generations. How good the neighbors were when troubles and affliction came! There were no "Homes for Aged People.' for sons and daughters had a way of caring for their own. Neighbor- liness is forgotten in the intense rush of life.

Two dozen aspirants were in the field for the honor, chief among whom was James G. Blaine, who had been de feated by G rover Cleveland in 1884, but he later declined to make the race. The best wishes the party could have in 1920 would be a nominating convention in which no candidate should have a majority of the votes on the first ballot. Such a situation would conduce to a more popular choice. it ... in i .

LOS AXGE-I (Los Angeles Times.) The Central labor council of Los Angeles has taken a wise step in ad vising against any more strikes' here. Such a policy, if followed throughout the country, would do more perhaps than anything else to enable the United States peacefully and quickly to return to a normal basis. One wishes it could be said that tho coun cil advised this course from a pa triotic motive. Unfortunately that is not the case. It his been driven to it through the failure here of strike after strike. Yet this evidence of knowing when it is beaten, shown by the council, is not unwelcome. It is devoutly to be hoped that similar organizations in other large centers or population win adopt a similar course. What is the need of strikes anywhere in America today? Are not workingmen getting higher wages than ever before and are not the conditions under which they la bor better now than at any time In the history of the country? What this country wants Is indus trial peace. The men who are today fomenting strikes are as much the CHILDREN'S SHOES Children's brown, black and patent leather shoes. Sizes 11 1-2 to 2.
