proportion to its size, it is called upon to perform a
greater amount of tedious, continuous, nerve-straining
work than any other part of your system ?
Are you aware that a vast number of ills are directly
traceable to the defects of overstrain of the human eye?
That many forms of headache, cerebral troubles, nervous
disorder's and even insanity itself are caused by errors of
refraction or muscular derangement of the eye?
No matter how excellent the mechanical work in a pair
of glasses, it counts for nothing unless the formula from
which the lenses are ground is the correst one for your
eyes.
Remember, you are running no risk, taking no chances,
when I examine your eyes. I use no drops or drugs of
any kind as they are dangerous. My :4 years practical
experience as an eye specialist is at your service without
extra charge. If glasses are not needed, I positively de
cline to supply them. I have fitted many thousands of
people in Marion and Polk counties and the universal sat
isfaction which 1 have given proves that I am worthy of
the confidence placed in me.
I change your glasses for
one year, if necessary, free
of charge. No extra charges
for examination. All brok
en lenses replaced while you
wait, at very reasonable
prices.

TELLS TERRIFIC STORY
OF SEAJXPERIENCE
Survivors of Vessels Destroy
ed by Submarines In
Mediterranean
New York, Feb. 12. A thrilling
story of the operation of submarines in
the Mediterranean and of the sinking
of two shiiis with Americans in their
crews was biought here today by sur-
yivors from the destroyed vessels, ar
riving on the steamer tiuiseppe Verdi
Irom Italian ports.
Ijiwrence Sullivan of Philadelphia
n u.l Thomas Atkins of Fort Loade,
Florida, told of the sinking of the
steamer John Palmer on which they
shipped from Calvoston, August 17,
seventy miles east of Gibraltar, They
declarel that the John Palmer was
sent to the bottom by a submarine fly
ing the Austrian flag, and without
w arning.
Tin ther Americans, escaping
from a ship which was destroyed, were
John Hurley, of Boston; Morris Black,
of Baltimore, mid John Minnich of
Syracuse, N. Y. They were members
of the crew of the Italian bark Gabriel
D'Ali, ifiW tons, which was sunk by
bombs after being held up li- a sub-
ma Hue.
According to the story told by At
kins ami Sullivan, the John Palmer
first sighted the submarine, which sank
her. as the submerible came alongide.
Inquiries were made lis to the Palmer's
cargo, ami the submarine then pulled
away about eighty yards and sent a
torpedo crashing against her side.
Atkins said he was Mown high in
the air by the explosion. His leg was
broken, "ml he managed to keep afloat
on wreckage and was picked up and
towed ashore.

German Officials Deny
Submarine Fired Upon
Lifeboats of Eavestone
Berlin, via Sayville wireless. Feb, 12.
"No Qennan submarine ever fired at
lifeboats, nor will do so in the future,"
declared an official press bureau state
ment today, denying British versions
of the sinking of the British steamer
Ka vest one.
The full text of the press agency's,
statement was:
"The British Daily Telegraph on
January L'l writes: Washington: Ac
cording to sworn statements! of eye wit
nesses, a Ocrman submarine fired nt
the lifeboatas of a sunk ship.'
"Evidential this is about the British
steamer Kavestoue.
As soon as the submarine reports,
all details about this question will be
given.
'Meanwhile it is repented that no
German submarine ever fired at life
boats, nor will do so in the future.
' This British report is a new, lint
useless attempt to stifle the memory of
the disgraceful deeds of the HrBitish
barbarians. But Kngland will never
succeed in suppressing in the civilized
world the memory of such cases as the
Baralong, the King Stephen and the
t'rompton."
