Perfect Balance Is a matter of first importance in Eyeglasses, for if a fixed position is not maintained, the lenses not only defeat their own ends but are capable of ; ji- ' jury that may be permanent. *i Fits-U Eye-glasses Give the precise angle of vision intend r ed, under all conditions. You are unconscious of the gentle pressure that is firm enough to be always effective. Fits-U Eye-glasses Are becoming because they are designed in just- the ri^lit way to combine "com fort, li^ht weiulit and absolute security with scientific optical accuracy. ¥ OPHTHALMIC OPTICIAN, 658 GUYTON ST., WANGANUI. 25 Years' Experience, Glasgow and London. Waipa Coal. Has already become famous with cooks, housewives, and factory-owners. No smuts, no clinkers, ALL COAL. Stocked by all dealers.

Cheaper than any other coal. Every trial so far given satisfaction. Special line for threshing mills and dairy factories. Quotations' from— F. A. Harkites*, AGENT FOR MINE.
