.*•
Atlanta, Ga.— Word has come to At
lanta of an overturned of bees on
the farm of Frank colored, that
stung Young’s **plow-htTrse to death,

in to attend the severely stung negro.
Neighbors say that Young has over
300 bee stings in his hands and face.
Ills blood has been poisoned. His
condition is serious, and there are
fears that he may die from the stings.
Young was plowing In his field when
the horse shied and overturned the bee
j hive. They swarmed out and began
stinging the horse, which wildly over
turned several more hives. In a few
minutes thousands of bees were
, swarming over the horse and Young.
, The horse seemed dazed by the pain
j and stood still while the bees literally
j stung It to death. Young attempted
j to drive the bees away from the horse;

Eye Glasses Should Go
Says New York Physician
Here Is His Free Prescription.
"Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care Is
necessary. The eyes of old and young
should be properly bathed night and
morning. This is more Important than
cleansing teeth,” says he and then he
goes on to say:
"The following treatment Is worthy of
fullest confidence. It is scientific, im
mediately effective and positively harm
less to the weakest of eyes. Go to any
drug store, get a tube of Optona tablets,
dissolve one in a two-ounce bottle of
pure water and bathe the eyes two to
four times daily. What is generally
known as eye strain will soon be banish
ed while the muscles and nerves are
permitted to perform their normal func
tions. It helps diseased eyes and it
keeps good eyes healthy; it Is absolutely
harmless in every way; does not smart
or bum, has a wonderful effect on gran
ulated lids and is especially recommend
ed for dull, bleary or glassy eyes. It
helps all eyes and should be in every
home for use in emergency.”
The following extracts are from letters
received from users of this prescription;
“I used Optona one week for a cold
In my eyes; it did me a great deal
of good.”
"My eyes have been falling for
years. I am sure Optona Is doing
them good and shall continue its
use.”
"Have only been using Optona a
short time. My eyes are improving
wordtwfully."
•1 find Optona very satisfactory
and recommend it wherever I find an
opportunity. I find it very sooth
ing” i
‘Tvs been benefited by Optona and
intend to follow the treatment."
"Have been using Optona for about
three months and It has greatly Im
proved my sight.”
"My eyes have been sore for sev
eral years; were red and inflamed.
Used everything recommended and
galnd no relief. I had my eyes ex
amined and wore glasses for six
months. I read of Optona and
thought I would give It a trial. Am
glad to be able to state I got satis
factory relief, and have not worn
my glasses since. I feel my eyes do
not require them.”
Many others have made similar re
ports. If your eyes bother you. have ths
above prescription filled; It may do won
ders for you. Do not become a victim
of neglect. You perhaps value your eyes
more than any other organ, therefore
It's vouv duty to protect them. Th e free
prescription has given relief to thou
sands.
