It means that there will be no more of the draperies from the bust to the waist which obscure the figure. —An Oriental Pun.—"ls yoor name Hi Li?" asked foreigner brusquely.

The Cure of Crossed Eyes Few people realize the import ance of early correction of the defect known as "crossed eyes." Yet there is a simple test which everybody can make and which proves conclusively that some thing should be done to remedy this un sightly and serious malady. Cover the straight eye with your hand and you will find that yonr sight is either very dim or at least considerably weaker than that of the other eye. Naturally, as a crossed eye is never used for vision and therefore becomes weaker the same as an arm that is constantly worn in a sling wonld finally refnse to do its service. The earlier this trouble is remedied, the better are the chances not only for correction of the disfigurment but also for improvement of the sight. "My son George," writes, Mr Geo. C. Aul, of 712 Arch St., Allegheny, Pa., was operated for a case of very bad crossed eyes when he was a triflo over 5 years old. by Dr A. Sigmann. the Eye- Ear-Nose and Throat Specialist of 804 Penn ave., Pittsburg, Pa. It is now 5 years and his eyes are perfectly straight, and have so increased in strength that he has discarded the use of glasses. Dr. A. Sigmann who has succeeded the well known E\e and Ear Specialist, Dr. O. W. Sadler, can be consulted free of charge in his offices, 804 Penn ave., until the Ist of April: thereafter Suite 405 Home Trust Bldg.. 541 Wood St., Pittsburg, Pa. 2-18-4t If low price is any inducement at tend Ritter & Rockenstein's sale.
