a hard day’s work, as he should. “
If he were sleeping on one of our Bed Springs he
would be resting much easier than appearances indicate.
Devoting perhaps one third of his time to sleep, he
’ " ffo ’
could well afford to rest on the best springs made, and
there is nothing better than the Sagless Springs

and the editor spent from Mon-
day until Wednesday on Terry
lake fishing and hunting. Dr.
Steve Grant, who was in that
part of the country on business,
spent Monday night and Tues-
day with the party. About 100
pounds of fish were caught and
twenty-two frisky tails bagged.
Mr. Hutchison saw to it that
stomachs did not go empty, and
hot biscuit for each meal is
something few fishing parties
can boast.

Sanders big jewelry and optical
establishment at Paris, has pro-

skill in grinding special lenses,
is proving that biyily inr aired
vision can be restored to normal
with the right kind of lenses.
He keeps right up to date on the
eve and its needs for glasses,
and a special trip to Paris
would be time and money well
spent to have him fit your eyes
with glasses guaranteed to be
exactly right. The Sanders
