CONFIDENCE RESTORED
AMONG THE AMERICAN
COLONY IN LONDON
London.—The wants of most of the
Americans in London now have been
provided for temporarily. Those hold
ins notes and checks have been able
to get small sums of currency to carry
them on while the hotels are not
pressing them for their bills for daily
needs. Others without funds of any
kind are being taken care of by com
mittees and by loans from individual
Americans.
Confidence among the members of
the American colony has been large

Eye Glasses Should Go
Says New York Physician
Here Is His Free Prescription.
“Many who wear glasses eould dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care is
necessary. The eyes of old and young
should bo 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 posit <hy harm
less to the weakest of eyes Go to an ■
drug store, get a tube of Optona tablets
dissolve one In a two-ounce bottle of
pure water and bathe the ey< . Uvo to
four -Jmcs dully. What is generdly
known as eye strain will soon be banish
ed while the muscles and nerves are
perm tied to perform their normal func
tions. It helps diseased eyes snd it
keeps good eyes healthy; it is absolutely
harmless In every way; a,,** not grn ,
or burn, has a wonderful effect on gran
ulated lids and is especially recommend
ed for dull, bleary' or glasay eyes It
helps all eyes and should be In every
home for use In emergency."
The following extracts are from letters
reee ved from users of this prescription:
"l used Optona one week for a cold
in my ayes; 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
wonderfully."
"I find Optona very satisfactory
and recommend It wherever I find an
opportunity. I find It very eooth
lng."
•Tve been benefited by Optona and
Intend to follow the treatment.”
"Have been ue'ng 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 snd
galnd no relief I had my eves ex
amined and wore glasses for six
months. I read of Optona snd
thought I would give It a trial. Am
glad to he able to state I got set s
factory relief, and have not worn
my gasses since. I feel my eyes do
not require them."

USES, MULES
IT MICES
Many European Governments
Already Seeking Horses and
Mules; U. S. Source of Sup
ply
(New York American)
Horse dealers in the city were much
interested in the reports that agents or
Kuropean governments—England and
France being particularly mentioned
in connection with the stories —had
already heen sent to the Western and
Southern States to get options on
available horses and mules for re
mount and draught purposes. To get
them the buyer must needs get close
as possible to the breeder. Yet the
mere fact that foreign governments
were looking to this country for horses
lor cavalry, artillery, and draught uses
stiffened the market materially for
animals of this class.
"Two weeks ago a cotton or sugar
mule was worth S2OO in the markets
of St. Louis and the cities of the West
where they make a specialty of deal
ing in those animals. A first-class
mule for draught purposes, well bred
and well finished, was worth from s3ou
up to twice that sum. Today a good
mule is worth nearly double that fig
ure, and 1 would be willing to pay
SIOO a head for a good bunch of them,
provided I could find a way of getting
them out of the country.” The speak
er was the manager of one of the larg
est houses dealing in horses in the
East.
"We could find a ready market for
any horse fit for cavalry or artillery
use or good mules at 50 per cent,
above the prices of a week ago, if we
could find a safe way of shipping
them across the ocean,” he continued.
“They are worth that today as it is,
for if England becomes involved in
this unfortunate muddle they will
probably convoy livestock carrying
steamers to French ports, in which
country there is the greatest need for
horses for remounts and for draught
animals for artillery and field trans
port service. They have got to have
horses and mules on the Continent,
and the United States will be the chief
source of supply, just as it was in the
Boer war, when Great Britain prac
tically stripped the country of horses
and mules fit for army service.”
Coincldentaly with the advance in
the price of mules-is that in the price
of saddle horses suitable for cavalry
remounts and for field artillery pur
poses. Horses witli only the walk,
trot, and canter had a nominal ad
vance of about 50 per cent. In value
yesterday solely on the theory that
they might be wanted for use abroad.
In figures the value of the ordinarily
good animal which would have
brought S3OO a couple of weeks ago
has advanced to a quotable value of
stso to SSOO. "Hacks” that would have
sold them for $l5O are worth from S2OO
to $225, and there is no market in the
East or West hut what has seen a
similar advance within the past 24
hours.
SIO.OO, $15.00 and $20.00 all wool
suits, the best makes. See F. G. Mer-
