Silly Saving

Never in the history of the nation have so many articles been printed on the necessity of

thrift and saying as in the last three weeks. Newspapers and magazines the nation over have

engaged in a campaign that has penetrated to

every nook and corner of the nation and that has discussed every phase of the problem.

Danger lurks in an exacting execution of the

task. You can be too saving and too economical, and thereby do just as much damage as if you

were nmflicAte and extravagant. If out of a

sense of thrift you do not give your growing children enough nourishing food to build up their physical system, you are committing a crime against childhood fior which you can make no atonement. If thrift makes you niggardly and stingy, jealous about your neighbor's enjoyment of life, parsimonious to an extent that you become miserly then, you are not economical, but are stunting yourself and belong to the class of "undesirable citizens." . The golden mean must be observed in all things, even in thrift. The Gospel of Christ may be applied in such a narrow way that, instead of being a free and happy religion, it becomes a tyrannical exaction . hampering the freedom of man and making him a. slave to a system. . The gospel of thrift, by being perverted into a denial of the very necessities ttnd comforts of life, may become a positive menace to your welfare and to the good of society as a whole. Be thrifty, but . stay .within bounds.

Hit the Food Speculator The Lever resolution in the lower house of Congress would place the widest kind of power in the hands of the secretary of agriculture to control the' production and distribution of food. ' One of the features of the resolution that impresses us forcibly is the clause which makes it unlawful for any person or firm engaged in the

manufafcture, storage or distribution of food to permit the waste or deterioration of food, to hoard food, or to agree to store food in excess of what the ordinary business demands of the person or firm may require This section is aimed at the practice of speculation in foodstuffs. It will do the country no good if the farmers increase their acreage and crops, and food speculators are permitted to snap up foodstuffs for storage purposes, later on reaping a golden harvest from the laborers and artisans of the nation who are forced to pay outrageous prices for commodities. The rights of the poor man must be protected this year as never before. Many family heads are having a hard time to make ends meet. With

the price of food far in excess of anything known in the United States for generations, many a family is on the ragged edge and is facing the real pangs of hunger. There is no exaggeration about the condition. The poor man is perilously near the precipice. Our state and national governments must take quick and decisive action to checkmate further price increases and curb any criminal tendency of speculators to make money by driving the honest poor into the ranks of paupers and dependents.

Rejuvenating the Commercial Club In fair business weather and in foul, the Commercial Club is the civic organization to which

the whole city looks for direction and counsel. If

this institution is wobbly or lacks the confidence of the community, the city is in a bad way. A Commercial Club must stabilize conditions, take the lead in emergencies, come to the front in advancing the city's interests through representation in state and national movements. It is idle to blink the fact that for a number

of years the local Commercial club has not en

joyed the full confidence of the public nor received the unqualified support of the community. Discussion of the reasons for this condition is not in place here. Suffice to say that these conditions militated against the usefulness of the club, impaired its functions and created a prejudice against its activities that were as general as they were deplorable.

John M. Lontz, whose name and reputation is well known in this community, has accepted the presidency of the club. He proposes to re-organize the club, change its name if the odium attaching to the old organization is prejudicial," bring a trained industrial agent to this city, reform the methods of work, put new life into the system, in fact make the Commercial club representative of the progressive spirit of the city and typical of the enterprise that has given Richmond the reputation it enjoys in Indiana. . He is essaying a hard task. He knows that he cannot succeed single handed and without the co-operation of the whole city.

He deserves the united effort of every citizen of this community. The job he has ahead of him can be made into a pleasant service for Richmond if community spirit and community effort joins hand in hand with his plans. . . . "Everybody who is really for Richmond and for a real Commercial club should enlist in our community's service by taking out a club membership." This is one of the first requests Mr. Lontz makes. Scores of men should accept that invitation at once and enroll in the Club under the capable leadership of Mr. Lontz. The annual fee is a nominal one. The benefits that the city will derive collectively and each member individually far exceed this small outlay of money.

The city cannot expect Mr. Lontz to come be

fore it at once with a definite program. He indi

cated yesterday in a statement to the press that he believes the industrial expansion of Richmond

can be accomplished only by employing an expert

who knows how to direct and manage this enterprise. We agree with him. Training is the essential of success. A tested,

efficient, capable man must occupy tne secre

tary's desk. Results soon will follow. Some of the best citizens of Richmond have pledged support to Mr. Lontz. We gladly enroll under his leadership. We believe that he will be able to obtain an efficient secretary for the organization and in co-operation with him will be able to rejuvenate the club and make it a powerful factor for good to the whole community.

Doctors Stand Amazed at Power of Bon-Opto to Make Weak Eyes Strong According to Dr. Lewis Guaranteed to Strengthen Eyesight 50 In One Weeks Time in Many Instances

A Free Prescription Yeu Can Have pilled and Use at Home ' Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses, and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using.it: "I was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt 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 using this prescription for 15 days everything seems clear. I can read even fine print without glasses." Another who used It says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work, and without them I could not read by own name on an envelope or the typewritin on the machine before me. I can do both now and have dis

carded my long distance glasses altogether. 1 I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I-cannot express my joy at what it has done for me." .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 the use of this prescription. Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Op-to tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and let it dif solve. With this liquid bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice you eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation and redness will quickly disappear. If your eyes bother you even a little it is your duty to take SteDB to RSVA them nnw hufnra ft la

too late. Many hopelessly blind might have saved their sight If they had cared for their eyes in time. NOTE Another prominent Pays!-, clan to whom the above article was submitted, sJd: "Yes, the Bon-Opto prescription Is truly a wonderful eye remedy. Its constituent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them. I have used it very successfully In my, own practice on patients whose eyes were strained through overwork or misfit glasses. I can. highly recommend It In case of weak, watery, acb: ing, smarting, Itching, burning eyes, red lids, blurred vision or for eyes inflamed from exposure to smoke, sun. dust or wind. It is one of the very few preparations I feel should be kept on hand for regular U6e In almost every family." Bon-Opto referred to. above, is not a patent medicine or a secret remedy. It is an "ethical preparation, the formula being printed on the package. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent, in one week's time in many instances or refund the-money. It can be obtained from A. G. Luken & Company, and other druggists. Adv.
