CLELAND EYE GLASS SERVICE
We recognize our responsibility in caring
for the Eye Sight of our Patients.
Our interest is therefore of a conscientious
sympathetic nature, governed by the desire
to alleviate Visual Defects.
Our thorough Scientific Examinations, fol-
lowed by furnishing lenses that are precise,
and therefore give relief, offers the answer
as to why our service is so valuable.

J. W. DeWeese, state fire insur-
ance commissioner, sounds a warning
to pinners for the prevention of fires
during the cotton ginning season, and
outlines a set of 13 rules, urging daily
practice of fire prevention.
The annual loss in some seasons, he
points out, has been as high as $1,250,-
000, static electricity being one of the ?
principal causes of gin fires. Nat- £
urally, the number of fires is greater *|»
when electrostatic charges have been
abundant, and the humidity low. Dry *»*
and d'irty cotton are contributing
causes to fires of this origin. Some
ginners, he says counteract this static
electricity by hanging wet bagging
in the building, wetting down the
plant and grounds every day or in
some cases, injecting a little steam
in the suciion pipe in the uiieetlOii of
the flow of cotton. A few, he says,
even gi<*uhu then machinery, and the
of any of these operations has

BROADWAY CAFE
About the most delightful experience
this year has been in seeing the Frig-
idaire installed in our Cafe. I
It has proved not only a convenience
but has saved much work and worry, ■
the danger of contamination and
harmful growth having been elimi-1
nated. This equipment was installed j
with the idea of serving better food j
and eliminating waste.
