O PTO M ETRY, I — >| ypkxj W K ' ~-W < : / -, • •<• • • : '. f £. -wPB' “OPTOMETRIST” means a person licensed under the laws of.the State to test eyesight and fit glasses. Having recently taken the State Board Examination and was one of a few that successfully passed, the privelege to use this title has been extended to me and is the State guarantee to you of my competency and authority to correct refractive errors by proper glasses, which is not only an Improvement to vlssion but a benefit to one’s genera health. Remember the word “Optometrist,” it will safeguard you against incompetents who are neither capable nor authorized hy law to test your sight or prescribe glasses. You owe it to yourself to get posted on the new Optometery law, recently passed by th State for your and your family’s protection. If your eyes bother you and cause you to feel bad, don’t put it off, but call on the “Optometrist,” have your'eyes properly taken care of and be relieved of your trouble. I you break a lens or any part of your glasses don’t take them just any place, thinking you can get the same thing, but take them to Catty the Optometrist, there you take no chances. Remember this. ( In order to get the people familiar with the new title “Optometry,” which the State law has given the science of correction of visual defects by glasses, I will give $5.00 in gold to the person that writes “Dr. A. G. Catt, Optometrist,” the greatest number of times on a 3%x 5% inch postal card and mails to me on or before the first day of June, 1909. DR. A. G. CATT, OPTOMETRIST. Rensselaer, Ind.

BANNER WET COUNTY

Of Indiana Is Posey—Farmers Rout Anti-Saloon Forces, Mt. Vernon, Ind., May 7.—Posey is the banner "wet” county of Indiana up to date. It gave a majority of 1,449 today in favor of retaining licensed saloons. The result was almost a complete route of the antisaloon forces, who figured on carrying the county by 1,200. Mt. Vernon, county seat, gave a “wet” majdrity of 700. The surprising feature was the way the farmers voted. Practically all of the county was “dry” outside Mtf Vernon, which led Anti-Saloon Leaguers to predict an easy victory. The “wets” however, showed "great strength in the agricultural communities, carrying three townships and holding down the antisaloon vote everywhere. Th? defeat was the worst the Anti-Saloon League has sustained, and is regarded by brAvers as confirmation of their prediction that the pendulum is beginning to swing back toward liberal lines. There are 52 saloons in the county, which is the sixth to vote “wet.” State Superintendent Shumaker, of the Anti-Saloon League, spent the day at Mt. Vernon, but was unable to stem the tide.

LINOTYPE AD AND JOB BORDERS

Brother Publishers Invited to Look Over Those Made By The Democrat. The cheapest and best borders for advertising and job printing in use to-day are linotype borders. They are easily handled, wear well, and cost only a small fraction of what regular type-foundry borders cost. The Democrat makes several styles of 6-point borders on its linotype, most of which are shown in this issue in advertisements. These bor“ ders are cast 30 ems long, and can be cut to any desired length. They can be used single or double or, in in combination, making any width of border desired. A 24-point border sufficient to go around a page ad costs at least $3, and can be used where a heavy border is required,. Six point linotype borders can easily be doubled up where a heavy border is desired and cost but little for enough to reach around a page. They can also be used for 6, 12 or 18 point border while the expensive 24-polnt type-foundry border can only be used for the one purpose. For an economical, time-saving border, use the linotype border 30 em lengths, which is sold by The Democrat at 5 cents per slug, or 50 cents for 12 slugs equaling 60 inches.
