But don' worry. Not your eyesight, but your kitchen lighting may be at fault. A properly shaded 150-watt bulb or the equivalent for the main light, plus adequate light in modern glare free fixtures at strategic working areas, can make kitchen life a carefree job. See your electrical contractor about good lighting over each work area in your kitchen. The cost will probably be less than you think.

(Political Advertisement) Notice! Republicans! Judicial Caucus Tomorrow! I want to call your attention to the Republican Caucus on THURSDAY, JAN. 12, at 2 P. M. in the SUPERVISORS' ROOM at the COURTHOUSE, at which Republican candidates for ONE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE and ONE CONSTABLE for DISTRICT NO. 1 will be nominated.

I am a candidate for Justice of Peace at this first election under the 1959-1960 Legislation, which abolished the old "JP" fee system and consolidated the county into three, new, large districts, in an effort to improve the administration of justice. Help the job the Legislature commenced by nominating for this judicial office a qualified attorney of 30 years experience. If elected, I will do all possible to make the justice court a modern, efficient, instrument for the proper administration of justice, civil as well as criminal, free from the criticism that long attached to the past set-up. Now, it is hard to get people to come downtown for such a Caucus, which serves the purpose of a primary election. If you feel I am qualified, please take the trouble, if you can, to attend the Caucus and vote for me, as that is the ONLY WAY YOU CAN HAVE A VOICE in this matter of considerable public concern, where a good, fresh start under the new law is needed, and this end is possible if, but only if, the voters will take the trouble to see to it.

District No. 1 comprises Precincts 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 24, 27 and 28 of Bloomington, Precinct 3 of rural Bloomington Township (West of Morris Avenue) and all of Dale, Allin, Funks Grove, Mt. Hope, Danvers, Dry Grove White Oak Townships. Roughly, this is all territory west of Main Street but also includes that part of Bloomington east from S. Main St.

to the Nickel Plate Railroad. IVAN LIGHT, Attorney Shirley, Illinois To qualify one to participate and vote at the Caucus, it is only required that he be a Republican preference voter, residing within the district. Registration is not necessary..
