I ev-eaffapwi i i i .t A Free Prescription Yeu Can Have Filled end Uae t Hon Do you wear glassesT Are you a. victim of eye-strain or other eye weaknessee? If so, you will be glad to know that there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing, say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonder ful free prescription. One man says, after trying it: "J 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 at mosphere seemed hazy with or with out glasses, but after using this pre scription for fifteen days- everything seems clear. I can even read 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 De wonder fully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to .Lee and Osgood or any active drug store and get a bottle of Optona.

Hubbard, and as they were received after the accounts of the treasurer were balanced, they will be included in the report for 1914. The directors of the association are grateful for the lib eral contributions received so far this season and hope that they are only the forerunners of what may be expected In the way of contributions when the importance of the movement is more generally understood. The report was accepted. Supervisor Wielt Reports on Local Work. The report of Supervisor H. Wielt, Jr., of Springfield, Mass., was read by Secretary Peale, as Mr. Wielt was un able to attend the meeting. The supervisors report, which was approved and accepted, follows: Gentlemen: In submitting my re "port as supervisor of the city play grounds I am pleased to report a sue cessful season. More than 16.000 ehil dren (taking the attendance morning and afternoon) took advantage of the lacllities for physical activity and rec reation. These figures I believe sur pass those of previous years. This can be accounted for by reason of many oiaer ooys ana gins Deing mterestea in our games and teams, and to no small degree a larger appreciation on the part of the community in general for the playground work. - Unusual interest was manifested in the sewing and embroidery, which gained the generous commendation of the parents and friends of the chil dren. Many children when admitted to the classes di4 not know how to use a thimble, but at the close of the season they became quite skillful sewers. Their work at that time would have .done credit to many mature persons, and will prove of incalculamle value to them, in later life. The story hour was especially inter esting and a success. The folk dances were popular, as were the song games. In conjunction with the story hour pe riod mention might be well made with reference to the sand boxes. These were always, populated by the smaller tots. Croquet, ring games and quoites (horse shoes) were enjoyed by both sexes. In like manner were those games such as rolly-polly, etc., enjoy ed. These, however, originated on the individual grounds and were not a part of the playgrounds curriculum. The interest in . baseball was very keen, especially at first. Each of the playgrounds had a senior and junior team. The reason for lack of enthusi asm in the couple instances was the fact that travel to and from the play ground and park was tiring, especially hot days. The playing of the sched ule games at the park was necessitat ed through lack of space at a majority of the playgrounds. This condition, however, did not prevent the schedule being completed with the remaining four teams. In the case of the two teams that dropped out of the race provision for amusement was made along other lines. The field day events occurred the last week of. August.

Fourth In these same two- grounds there should be installed a wading pool. . Drainage system being already installed on the Lake street ground would eliminate a large part' of the cost. I feel the demand for this is great, in view of the fact that so many of the tots who gather are not given any attention as regards bathing. The parents are unable to take them to the beaches they cannot go themselves. Fifth The rate of pay for the play ground instructors Is too low, and should be raised as soon as possible. In closing, I want to express my gratitude to the committee for their valuable assistance: to the instructors who gave all they had at their com mand to make the work a success, and to the city department who steadily gave their co-operation. I also pa preciated the kindness of the many firms who made many gifts and to those who volunteered their services for the welfare of the playground. President Stanton's Report. President Stanton then read his re port as follows: Members of the Playgrounds Associa. tion and Friends: 'The reports given cover the year's work so fully that no detailed State ment is neededfrom your presHtut at this time. The importance of the playgrounds movement is a recognized fact, and the rapid increase in the number of cities and communities maintaining playgrounds and recrea tion centers is almost phenomenal. We are proud that our city has a part in this important" work of conservation of the energy of childhood, the con servation of power and health more precious than the wealth of our forests and mountains and fields, and the de velopment of a noble, self controlled and self respecting citizenship. The playground has come to stay, The experimental stage is long uince passed. The work of the public play ground supplies a need. Communities are rapidly being aroused to the fact that permitting the coming men and women to rn at large, unheeded anU unhindered, during the formative yeaia of their lives is the cause of a largo part of our juvenile offenses and . much expense that might be avoided. The work of the playground is pre ventive. It provides natural outlets for superfluous energy otherwise too often misdirected. The natural lines for the develop ment of local work are well marked out ty those who have had expv enre and training in this work. rnuia id no question as to what should be uor.e. it is Mmply a question of way a.n-1 means. This has been our local qj iic.i. The means at the disposal oi ill beard of directors have been i Lulled. ;im1 this alone has limited the work o- iui association. The year just passed has been our best, but we have by no means been able io do all that we would have liked to do or that should be done to adequately provide playground facili ties for the boys and girls of our city and town. Our campaign for membership and the Kalian flower market increased our funds materially and made It pos sible to place our work on a satisfac tory basis with a director who devoted his whole time for the season to this work. To the ladies ' who managed the flower market we are indebted not oniy for the substantial financial aid but also for the interest that was aroused In the work of the playgrounds by the singing and dancing at the Bale and also on the streets and lawns by the school children before and after the sale. It was a delightful affair from beginning to end and will not soon be forgotten. An appropriation by the city made possible much needed ac commodations at the Lake street grounds. Here we have room for the development of a first class play ground. A large sum of money might be invested here in equipment and this investment would yield a large divi dend. Trees are needed for shade, turf should be laid, some plots seeded to grass, seats provided and other steps taken to make this place attractive as a resting place or a recration place as well as a play center. The season's work with Mr. Wielt in charge as director and supervisors in sharge during the whole day was carried on very successfully. The great need feit was that of arger playgrounds, particularly in Greeneville and on the west FALLING HAIR AND ITCHING SCALP Entirely Naedieee Uee Prilan Sage.

In the natural order of events the city or town will sooner or later as sume control of this work and conse quently such legal steps aa must be taken should be taken bo that . the people may act upon thia question when the proper time comes. I am sure I voice the sentiments of every member of the board or director when I express my appreciation of the many courtesies extended us by the Morning Bulletin and the Evening Record, of the work of Mr. Wielt and his assistants and of the eordial good will and support of all who have done so much to make it possible to do what has been done. For the future I bespeak a continu ance of this support and good will for the purpose of carrying on am creasing this work, which we cannot afford to neglect or' abandon. - . Election of Officers. The election of officers resulted in the following choice: President, J. B. Stanton (re-elected) ; first vice presi dent, Mayor Timothy C. Murphy; sec ond vice president. Miss Elizabeth Huntington; secretary, Arthur L. Peale (re-elected);- treasurer, John M. Lee (re-elected). Field Seoretary Wilson. President Stanton then introduced J. Herbert Wilson, field secretary of the National Playgrounds association, who gave a stereopticon lecture on the work of the playgrounds association. His talk was very Interesting and instruc tive and throughout he kept the close attention of his audieace. In opening his talk Mr. Wilson said that over five millions of dollars have been spent in this great movement and that the national association was responsible for this in a large meas ure. The first slide showed a group of boys shooting crap on the streets. These boys have no other place ot play. It is only natural that boys should play, and if they do not have proper places in which to play they will resort to the streets and improper games. The next slide showed a group of men in the bread line, reduced to these circumstances by lack of education and proper environments. Another slide showing young children at work in a canning factory especially made ap parent the growing need of the good influences of the playgrounds associa tion. A group of five boys who had broken the law and had been present ed before Judge LJndsley'a court and a group of boys playing on a dump es pecially showed the need of the asso ciation to raise and elevate them above such surroundings. Another slide of an East Side street in New "i ork, thronged with children who having no other place to congregate, are forced to resort to the streets. From this side of the question Mr. Wilson went on to show pictures of organized playgrounds in New York and other large cities of the country. Sirin !

Telephone 165.8 Second On Lake street and on this new field I would like to see shade trees planted. If shade and scats are provided we will find that mothers will frequent the grounds in large numbers. We had to suffer the embarrassment last summer of seeing tne mothers visit the Lake street grounds, onlv to about face and return or go in town, because of insufficient seating capactiy and shade. Third These same grounds, owing to their spacious character, ought to be open evenings if only three even ings a week. The evening is the reai playtime for the adolescent boy and girl, sepcially those who are compelled to work in shops and stores during the day. From what little I saw I know this wiil result in the attendance be ing large, and the additional cost it seems w(uld be a mere trifle. If they remained open after dark (which I would like to see do'ne) it would ne cessitate them being well lighted. The young felks would flock to them, in place of going to commercialized placea efcseoea.tiiJ T with happier and Every Youngster Can Have Fine Di gestion if Given a Good Baby Laxative. In spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent atten tion to diet, babies and children will become constipated, and it is a fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap. But. a we cannot all have perfect working bowels, we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy is called Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two genera tions It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for iifty cents or one dollar a bottle .and those who are al ready convinced of its merits buy the dollar size . Its mildness makes it the ideal med icine for children, and it is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in its effect, sjid genuinely harmless. Very little of it is required and its fre quent use does not cause it to lose its effect, as is the case with eo many other remedies. Thousands can testify to its merits in constipation, indigestion, bilious ness, sick headaches, etc., among them reliable people like Mrs. James It. House, of Marinette. Wis.
