Do Not Neglect Your Eyes.

Many suffer from poor eyesight who
could be relieved, but neglect to have
their vision corrected in time to save
or improve the sight, and as age creeps
on they are afflicted with blindness or
blurred vision instead of having strong
bright eyes. Do not deceive yourself
If you have defective sight, do not pro-
crastinate, but have your eyes attended
to at once, and thus save yourself
great pain and suffering in old age.
Good vision is boon to be cherished.

and l hereby enter my protest against
such an Internal school as this being
brought into our midst. The Dalles
has already n superfluous number of
individuals whose first steps downward

consistent, and has the welfare of the
young people of The Dalles at heart,
still there are many who will take is
sue with him as to the baleful in
fluences connected with dancing.
Many there are who see no evil in
dancing so long as it is conducted with
moderation and in select society. 1t
is not the simple practice of dancing
that corrupts morals, but evil associates
that are brought in contact with the
