Doctor Tells How To Strengthen
Eyesight 50 per cent In One
Week's Time In Many Instances
K Free Prescription Von Can Have

Philadelphia. Pa. Do you wear ]
Classes? Are you a victim of eye strain ;
or other eye weaknesses? If so. you '
will be glad to know that according to
Dr. Lewis there is real hope for you.
Many whose eyes were failing say they
have had their eyes restored through '
the principle of this wonderful free pre
scription. One man says, after trying i
it: "I wss almost blind; could not see ,
to read at all. Now X can read every- '
thing without any glasses and my eyes
do not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully; now they feel - 1
fine all the time. It was like a miracle
to me." A lady who used it says: "The
atmosphere seemed hazy with or with
out c.'asses. but after using this pre
script t>n for fifteen days everything j
seems "tear. I can even read fine print
without glasses." It is believed thai
thousands who wear glasses can now i
discard them in a reasonable time ana
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be .

getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
Reasons For
Unusual
Coal Shortage
Three things are responsible for the great
shortage of coal.
First: The labor situation is hopelessly beyond
control of the operators. If the mines are to pro
duce the quantity of coal demanded now, they must
have at least 10 per cent, more men—and more men
cannot be had.
Second: The great car shortage. Some mine
owners say they are getting only 15 per cent, to 20
per cent, of their actual requirements. That is, when
they order 100 cars, the railroad gives them from
15 to 20 cars.
Third: Coal Consumers failed to buy coal in the
summer months and for that reason the mines were
often closed for want of orders.
A Shortage of coal is a fact, not a theory.
Secure, without delay, enough to last you •
throughout the winter—otherwise you may regret it.

"McCormick Landslides"
Discussed in Editorial
In an editorial headed "Those McCor
mick Landslides." the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin says:
"Chairman Vance McCormick, of
the Democratic national committee,
continues in active business as a cock
sure prophet. His latest exhibit is a
•landslide' in which it will be doubtful
whether there will be any States left
to the Republicans.
"It is just two years ago that the
chairman, as a candidate for Governor
of Pennsylvania, together with his
equally ardent Democratic colleague.
Mr. A. Mitchell Palmer, as a candidate
for United States senator, was. in the
same ecstatic frame of mind over the
magnificent rainbow outlook of the
Democratic party in this State.
On that occasion, a few days in ad
vance of the election, the chairman of
the Democratic State committee made
the following forecast:
" 'McCormick will come to the
1 Philadelphia county line with 115,000
| majority. Penrose will be third in the
t senatorial race. Never has the De
mocracy been more united, more hope
! ful and more confident than it is to
; day. Election predictions are seldom
ittken seriously. T ask the voters of
jthe State to cut this out and compare
jit with the returns.'
"Moreover. Mr. McCormick an
i nounced at that time that he was look
ing forward to what would be his
cubernatoiial responsibility in meeting
the Legislature two months afterward,
while Mr. Palmer, In the exuberance
of his confidence and joy at the sight l
|of the superb rainbow, assured the
I public that 'Penrose will be licked as
! sure as the sun shines.'
"All this. too. was on the eve of an
(election in which Penrose had !S0 000
! plurality and In which Vance McCor
mick. beaten by 130.000 plurality. lot
his wfrd, his city, his county and his
State."
