THE
Diamond Garment
Cutting School
Which has been in progress in the
G. A. It. hall are having splendid suc
cess. This unprecedented patronage
in this movement is due to the super
ior excellence of this system and the
great need existing among the ladies
for higher education in this line.
That the ladies everywhere need
higher education in this useful art is
apparent to all. The making of the
costumes for the family is a source of
more annoyance and mure trouble than
all other duties ladies have, and as this
movement simplifies one of their most
arduous duties, it may properly be
classed as a benefactor to womankind.
We boast of a superior progress nnd
enlightenment of the nineteenth cen
tury and yet our women can not make
their best costumes. In this line of
practical education we are not up to
the standard of the advanced times.
Now that the opportunity is presented
it behooves all to appreciate the mag
nitude of this movement.
Now all those wishing to take in
struction in the Garment Cutting
School must come in on or before the
10th of August.
Yours Kesp'y,
Diamond Garment Cutting School.

NATURE'S
DANGER
SIGNALS
Do your eyes blur at times?
Do they hurt after reading? Are
there frequent headaches? Are
the muscles around the eyes
drawing wrinkles and crows' feet.
They're Nature's danger sig
nals. Only when sight is gone is the
terrible danger realized.
It costs so little to help the
eyes, if done in time. We can
give the early help later we
have to refer the work to occii
lists. We examine the eyes in the
most intelligent and careful man
ner without charge. If glasses
are needed we can supply the
correct lenses mounted in any
manner desired.
