Tbrow Away Your Eye-Glasses
i. A Free Prescription
Vfa Csii Have Filled and Use at Home,
Do you wear glasses Are you a victim of eye-strain or other eye weaknesses If so, you will be glad to know that there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing, sdy they have had their eyes restored 'through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man says, after trying it: "I was almost blind could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more.
At night they would pain dreadfully now :they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after Rising this prescription for fifteen days Everything seems clear. I can even fead fine print without glasses." It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the Sample rules. Here is the prescription: Go to New Central Pharmacy or any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in 1-4 glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid, bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You Should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even a little, take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.
A prominent City Physician to whom the above article was submitted, said: "Bin-Opto is a very remarkable remedy., Its constituent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by tbem. It'can be obtained from any gocd druggist and is one of the very.few preparations, I feel should be kept on, hand for regular *we In almost every
A declaration on Americanism appeared to be of paramount interest among them and the president's Flag day speech at Washington yesterday received some attention from the platform builders before they began the final draft of this plank. It was said that President Wilson's idea of what the plank on Americanism should be was telegraphed here last night. It virtually charged conspiracy on the part of some foreign born citizens to influence foreign and domestic affairs and condemned organizations that failed to repudiate such alleged conspiracy, it was said.
The great enthusiasm shown in the convention yesterday when Chairman Glynn recited the things the Wilson administration had done to maintain peace is expected to have some influence with the committee in drafting the planks referring to peace and prosperity. It is understood that President Wilson has not suggested in any definite language in approval of' his action in maintaining peace but Senator Husting of Wisconsin, it is learned, has been given the task of preparing such a plank that will be a j£uide for campaign orators in the campaign.
Planks prepared by the president have been turned over by the sub-com-mittee to Secretary of War Baker, who brought them here from Washington. It was learned there will, be no specific mention of Mexico in the declaration of principles but that the relation of the United States with the southern republic will bp covered in a general way in the plank dealing with foreign relations. This plank will declare that every nation has a right to regulate its own internal affairs.
Protection Abroad.
Adequate protection for Americans at home and abroad will be among the pronouncements and a permanent peace tribunal will be looked upon with favor. There will be a preparedness plank for defense that will not only satisfy democrats but will please the progressives, the leaders say. The platform will contain an unequivocal expression against war for aggrandizement.
There have been several tariff planks submitted to the resolutions committee and Rep. Rainey has been asked to write what is expected to be the final draft. It was said that in view of the scarcity of dye-stuffs because of the European war, the platform would propose that industry be given a measure of protection for above five years.
Little was heard today of the vicepresidential booms that are Still in existence. Several of the little booms have faded away, leaving in the field those of Vice President Marshall, Gov. Major of Missouri, Gov. Morehead, of Nebraska, and Roger C. Sullivan, of Illinois. I It was reported and denied that Governor Major would withdraw today. It was also said that Mr. Sullivan would withdraw his candidacy today at a meeting of the Illinois delegation. Some of the enthusiastic friends of Gov. Glynn talked of starting a vice presidential boom for. him but the former New Tork governor would not listen to it.

Archbishop John J. Glennon, of St. Louis, offered prayer. James launched into his prepared speech and it was punctuated by applause and cheers at his references to Americanism, the achievements of the democratic administration and his denunciation of the republican platform.
When James recounted in implied terms the president's diplomatic success in the negotiations with Germany the delegates wanted to hear it again. "Repeat it," they demanded.
James repeated his statement and the crowd rose up and broke loose with cheers. In repeating the phrase from his prepared speech, the senator said: "Woodrow Wilson, without orphaning a single child, without widowing a single American mother, without firing a single gun, without the shedding of a single drop of blood, wrung from the most militant spirit that ever Drooded about a battlefield an agreement to American demands and a concession of American rights."
The band swung into "America" and "Star Spangled Banner." Mats and flags went into the air. Somebody cried "Three cheers for Wilson." The crowd roared the answer.
Demonstration Begun.
Stanchions were torn from the floor and march of delegates through the hall was started. The aisles became choked because the demonstration was begun without organized leadership.! The congestion aided in shortening the demonstration. The band played "A Hot Time" while Senator James fanned his face.
After the demonstration had been running 12 minutes, the Kentucky standard was taken to the platform and placed directly behind Mr. James. It was the signal for cheers and a tiger for the speaker while the ba nd played "Dixie" followed by the "Battle Cry of Freedom."
Chairman Glasgow presented the report of the committee on rules. It provided among other things that no delegates shall speak more than 30 minutes on any subject and that nominations for president begin at 8 p. m., followed by nominations for vice president.

The motion by Senator Reed carried and a session, for nominations will begin at 9 p. m. tonight, the report as amended being adopted.
It was not decided whether the platform would be presented before or after nominations.
At 1:22 p. m. a recess was taken until 9 p. m.

accepting any other elective federal office during his term or within a designated time after he quit the bench.
A delegation representing the American Organization of Hoboes appeared at the committee room early and demanded a hearing. They told Chairman Stone, who heard them for the committee, that they desired planks declaring for the "right to work" for free transportation and for the abolition of private employment agencies and for the ballot for all migratory and unemployed, wherever they may be. Colonel R. M. Thompson, Rear Admiral Osterhaus, retired, and Vice President P. B. Lambert, of the navy league, urged the sub-committee to put in a plank declaring that the United States should have a navy second in sea power in the world, so strong that it could prevent invasion of coast cities, be able to enforce the Monroe doctrine, protect the Panama canal and foreign possessions.
After a three-hour session members of the sub-committee said a" tentative draft probably will be completed late today for consideration by the entire committee. Rep. Rainey, of Illinois, a member of the sub-committee, said the tentative draft would contain a woman suffrage plank at least as strong as that contained in the republican platform adopted* in Chicago and expressing the belief of the democratic party that women should be enfranchised.
The sub-committee had before it more than 1,000 suggestions for planks of all sorts. Hundreds of these were laid aside in the preliminary stages and will not be taken up at all. Others which the sub-committee feels are entitled to serious discussion were taken up at once. Copies of the president's suggestions for the platform were given to each member. The original draft brought to St. Louis by Secretary Baker and turned Over to Chairman Stone, of the committee, had many interlineations in the president's hand writing. ———.
