TUESDAY AND WED NESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 16 and 17, the expert opticians, Mr. and Mrs. Mahaffey of New York and Pittsburg will be at the Lowry House Riving free examination for the eyes. Prices reasonable, no one urged to bny, why suffer with your eves when it costs no more to be fitted by experts than to risk yonr vision with inexperienc ed opticians. Accurate Correction. Most invariably people who have for years been having trouble to procure glasses suitable to their eyes have been laboring under the impression that the principal value of a pair of glasses was in the quality of the material used in their construction. They do not stop for an instant to realize that the only true valne that can be placed on a pair of glasses is the accurate correction which the skilled optician can give. The interior of the eye has no secrets for these opticians. By the aid of prop er instruments all defects of sight are discovered, and proper glasses are then fitted. W D Kaufman- 456 East Jeffer son street, Butler, Pa., says: "About six weeks ago I called on Mr. and Mrs. Mahaffey at the Hotel Lowry and had my eyes examined, as I had had trouble at my work and reading, as well as seeing at a distance. I was told I ought to have two pairs of glasses. I ordered and got my glasses and have given them a good test. I can see at a dis tance ns well as I ever could, also read or work all day without the least tiring of the eyes 1 can recommend these opticians to anyone needing their eves , attended to as being honorable in their work and reasonable in their prices."
