Or before ALOE'S "TORIC" LENSES -were discovered,
people "troubled with impaired vision were obliged to use the
ordinary lenses, which helped them only to a certain extent.
TO-DAY
The use of ALOE'S "TORIC" LENSES makes it possible for
all optical troubles to be overcome. They excite the admira
tion of all who wear them. The people are wildly enthusiastic
over them. Oculists delight in prescribing them.
The average wearer of glasses having once used ALOE'S
"TORIC" LENSES could not be induced to wear any other kind.
POOR GLASSES, or those not ground on scientifically
correct principles.will destroy the vision; CORRECT GLASSES
wiU strengthen and save it.
ALOE'S "TORIC" LENSES are the only correct glasses
ground in St. Lmis and cannot be obtained of any other
optical house. Come in and let us show you what wonderful
aid to vision these lenses are and how much superior they are
to all other forms.

NEW BIDS ON YEATMAN SCHOOL
Successful Bidder Refuses the Con
tract Because of Error Made
by Bookkeeper in Prepar
ing the Estimates.
At the meeting of the Board of Educa
tion last night Judge R. E. Rombauer, the
board"s attorney, submitted a legal opinion
on the question whether the board could es
tablish a normal school without an age
limit, for the education of teachers reeded
for service when the present supply of
eligible candidates Is exhausted.
Judge Rombauer answered the question
in the negative. He set forth In detail his
reasons for the opinion, presenting the con
stitutional provisions quoted by the Su
prece Court in Its ruling on the Roach case
touching the same question some years
ago.
The Board or Education has the authority
to establish a normal school, but may not,
under the Supreme Court ruling, give tui
tion free of charge to pupils over the age
limit, 21 jears, as contemplated In the reso
lution adopted by the board at Its former
meeting.
The Committee on Instruction approved
the resolution of Director Schroera. pio
vldlng free text books for pupils of all
grades. Action on the report was laid over
until official confirmation is received from
the Secretary of State of the adoption of
the ITfth constitutional amendment voted
upon at the last election. The report was
referred back to the Joint Committee on Fi
nance and Instruction.
The report of the committee recommend
ing that the name of the Dodler School be
changed to Howard was adopted. The new
nxmo Is in recognition of the services of
Charles "L. Howard, a public school prin
cipal, now dead.
The Building Committee recommended
that the bid of A. O. Haeseler for the con
struction of the James E. Yeatman High
School be accepted and the contract award
ed to him as the low eat bidder. A letter
signed by Mr. Haeseler, stating that a mis
take had been made by his bookkeeper In
the estimates, was read. The letter said
that tha bid should have been 316.858, In
stead of C46.9&. as submitted, and that he
would not accept the contract.
Mr. Haeseler was Invited to address the
board and state his reason for declining the
contract. He explained how one of his em
ployes had omitted to Include an Item of
J69.873 for brickwork In the total estimate,
and declared he could not accept the con
tract. The board decided to advertise for
new bids.
The question of enforcing the collection of
the $10,000 forfeiture which accompanied
Haeseler'a bid was referred to the Joint
Finance and Building Committee. In con
nection with Attorney Rombauer, with In
stitutions to report at the next meeting.
It was recommended that the bid of the
Arthur Frltsch Foundry and Machine Com
pany of J2.37S, to equip the blacksmith shop
of the manual training department of the
Sumner High School, be accepted, as It was
the lowest of the six submitted. The bid of
Geller, Ward & Hasner Hardware Com
pany, V33.3L for tools for the wood-working
shop, was also favorably recommended.
The report of the Finance Committee, rec
ommending the appropriation of-$50,000 for
the erection of the James E. Yeatman Hlsh
School, on account, and of $30 for changing
a city sewer In the school district, was
adopted.
The monthly report of the Superintendent
of Instruction, showing resignations, leaves
of absence, transfer"! and rcasslgnments,
was adopted, as was also a recommendation
fixing the salaries of three clerks in the
superintendent's office.
The report of the Committee on Revision
of the Rules was adopted. The report of the
Committee on the Fifth Constitutional
Amendment, advising the board to carry
out the assurances given that the free book
system would be extended to all grade:?,
was adopted. A vote of thanks was ordered
tendered to the St. Louis Commercial Club
for Its moral and financial aid and support
In securing the passage of the amendment.
On motion of Director Schroers. the
board's attorney was Instructed to request
the City Collector to turn over to the
board's account the accrued interest on
moneys collected and deposited by the Col
lector. This will amount, Mr. Schroers said,
to about $7,000 a year.
Afteri President Taussig had announced
the new standing committees the meeting
adjourned.
EVERY CAR A LETTER BOX.
Government Testing New Device
for Collecting Mall.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. 11. A plan for conert
lng every street car Into a moving letter box
has been submitted to the Postmaster Gen
eral. The project was advanced by a Bal
timore Inventor, and was referred to a rpe
clal commission for examination.
The commission decided that the plan
shall first be tried in Washington, where
the officials of the department can observe
It in practical operation.
The device, as shown In models submit
ted to the department, consists of water
proof drop-letter contrivances, which are
to be so built In the sides of all street
cars that letters may be readily dropped
Into them while the cars are passing street
crossings. The mouths of the receptacles
will be open to admit of the free dropping
of a letter Into them, and adequate pro
vision will be made for preventing' tain or
snow from finding Its way into the letter
compartments.
The plan includes the transferring of the
mail from car lines not directly connecting
with the Post Omce to one or more lines
making this connection, and a variety of
ingenious mechanical arrangements is pro
vided for doing this in periods of time
ranging from three and four to five and
seven seconds.

HUCKLEBERRY FINN PRESENTED
New Plav's First Production
Given at Mark Twain's Ilome.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Hartford. Conn., Nov. 11. The first pres
entation of Hark Twain's "Huckelberry
Finn" at Parsons's Theater, at Jlr. Cltm
ens's old home, to-night partook of :he
nature of a social function.
The. house was well filled with a very
select and enthusiastic audience. Mr. Clem
ens was unable to be present, because of
the Illness of his wlfa. The play wa a de
lightful surprise. Instead of a conven
tional dramatic work. It proved to be one
of the most fascinating entertainments e er
seen here.
AH the famous eDlsodes. such as thp
whitewashing of the fence, whon Tom
Sawyer adroitly gets the rest of the boys
to do his task, have been ingeniously w oven
into a play which Is entirely new, as far
as Us main thread is concerned. These epi
sodes, as well as the music and the dancing,
were all consistently cued In, and a well
balanced, consistent, dramatic work Is the
result.
One scene Is really the men remarkable
ever achieved on the stage. It Is the river
reflecting the warm sunshine of a summer's
day. In the foreground is the favorite
"swimming hole" of the illage boja
Stretching away in the distance are the
reaches of the river. The picnic and the
temperance revival crowds the stage with
quaintly dressed figures, with Band of
Hope sashes and white, gold-lettered ban
ners. The crowd disperses in the afternoon.
and the river ripples In peace until a crowd
of boys dash on for a dip. They dive in,
splash around and have no end of fun.

in Osage Nation.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Tulsa, I. T., Nov. It Parts of the Oeage
Nation are excited by a secret search for
gold, which is being made at night by un

gold dust. His train was attacked by a,

of Goldle, and followed him so closely that
he was compelled to flee, after marking the
hiding place of the dust. It has never been
found, and Goldle was never able to return
for It. His son made a search for it after
hia father's death, but was not successful.
