THERE are many kinds and qualities used and the kind of glass apart from the focus affects the sight —and may sooth or disturb the optical nerve. WITH THE OPENING OF THE WORLD’S MARKETS, INFERIOR GLASS IS BEING USED. We use the finest quality OPTICAL GLASS—as dear as air—hard and finely polished. Our lenses give perfect focus—that means the clearest sight with no irritating element to cause discomfort.

THE WILL AND THE WAY. No. 18.—People’s Confidence in Public Trustee. Sir Julius Vogel, founder of the Public Trust Office, said in the' House of Representatives fifty years agp : “Honourable: Members must be aware that it is very- difficult, to obtain Trustees for wives and children, pr executors under wills with siiffi- . cient .time at their disposal to do. justice to the task; and even when after some difficulty and a great sacrifice to friendship such trustees are obtained, iioi one can be sure that in the case of death or removal their place will he well supplied.” To meet a vital need of the people Sir Julius Vogel secured the establishment of the Public Trust Office. The remarkable expansion of the business in five decades *is a great monument to a far seeing statesman. On the 31st March., 1923, the number of wills safely deposited with the : Public Trustee approximated 35,500, and this total is increasing at the rate of over 400 a month. These figures in a country of 1,250,000 population, afford very emphatic evidence of the people’s confidence in their own Stateguaranteed Office.
