HOW YOU MAY THROW
AWAY YOUR GLASSES!

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. If YOU are one Of
these unfertunates, then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead Of
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows" may prove for them
selves that they can dispense with
glasses if they will get the following
prescription filled at once. Go to any
active drug store an dget a bottle OF
DIPLOMA; fill a two ounce bottle with
water and drop in one DIPLOMA tablet.
With this harmless liquid solution
battle the eyes two to four times daily,
and you are likely to be astonished at
the results right from the start. Many
who have been told that they have
astigmatisn, eye-strain, cataract, sore
eye-ids, weak eyes, conjunlivitis and
other eye disorders reporE wonderful
benefits from the use of his prescrip
ton. Get this prescription filled and
use it; you may so strengthen your
eyes that glasses will no. be neces-
sary. Thousands who are blind. or
nearly so, or who wear gig sses would
never have required them Il they had
cared for their eyes in time. Save
your eyes before it is toe late! Do
not become one of those victims Of
neglect. Eye glasses are only like
crutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the ever-in-
creasing weakened condition, so better
see If you can, like many others, get
clear healthy, strong, magnetic eyes
through the prescription here given.

TO CORRECT HISTORY.
Adjutant General Forrest made a
very interesting address and aroused
considerable enthusiasm among the
Sons of Veterans. He said the organi-
zation was originally named the United
Sons of Veterans, but the word
united" was afterwards dropped on
account of the conflict of interpreting
the letters u. S. c. V" in some Of
the border states, where, he said, many
understood that the letters meant
United States Confederate Veterans.
To preserve the records and to see
that the truth is told regard ding the
records of the southern soldiers and to
see that the histories OF the country
are corrected to show the records Of
these men in their true light are
among the main purposes of the Or
said that some OF the histories which
he has in his Office regarding the rec
ords of southern soldiers would be
enough to make every son of a veteran
put his shoulder to the wheel in an
effort to have them corrected.
Another purpose of the 81 ganization,
he said, is to eradicate the false his
tory from the minds of school children
who have already read them and 10
prevent others from reading them at
an age that may cause them to form
an opinion that may remain with them
throughout life. He said that a certain
historian says that the statue of Bell
nedict Arnold would be more appro-
pirate in the hall of fame than Cen
eral Lees, and that the same writer
also makes an attack on the women
of the south. There is no use TO
cherish the memories of cur fathers
unless you organize and help correct
these histories" said General Forrest.
General Forrest advised The sons of
veterans to secure the records of their
fathers during the war, anu said if the
Sons of Veterans were Interested one
half as much in the cause as the
Daughters of the Confederacy, a pow
erful organization would be the result.
He said the Pensacola camp should
adopt a plan to hold regular monthly
meetings, to which the veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy should
be invited and at which a veteran
should be called on for talk concern
ing what occurred during lie war~and

A Pension System
For Public School Teachers

Are pensions in general wise? Should
4 state pension its workers? Should it
pay pensions TO teachers any more
than to any other class of employees?
These are questions discussed iii a
bulletin just issued by the United
states bureau of education. The i'm
mediate purpose of the bulletin is to
describe the pension systems of Great
Britain, but in the course of the study
Raymond w. Sizes, the author, takes
occasion to discuss the principles un-
ferlying all pensions, and especially
teachers pensions in the United States.
a Teachers pensions and pension sys-

points out. have existed in Germany in
some form or other for two or three
centuries, and in other European coun-
tries for the better part OF a century
or more. On the continent the benefits
of teachers pensions have often been
extended to include widows and or
phans of teachers. In Scotland COM
prehensive system has been developed
based on scientific principles, which
DR.. Sizes considers especially valuable
for the United States.
Whether pensions shall be supported
I'm whole or in part by the state, or
whether they shall be financed entirely
by the teachers themselves, is a prob
lem that has been solved differently in
different countries. In Germany the
state finances the entire plan. the
teachers making no contributions what
soever. In France the teachers are
heavily assessed to keep the pension
system going. In the United States the
tendency is to ask small contributions
from the teachers. As permanent
arrangement DR.. Sizes fayors the Ger
man plan, not because he thinks it any
more generous to the teachers, but be-
cause he considers it better business
for the state to finance and manage
the system itself. He shows that in
any event the burden is ultimately
shifted to tho teachers.
While admitting, therefore, that con-
tribunons may be necessary to start a
substantial pension system, he believes
they should be discontinued as soon as
possible. In his opinion contributions
from teachers as a permanent feature
not only add nothing TO the effective
ness of a pension plan but they ''in-
troduce needless complexity. they are
a source of constant irritation and mis-
understanding, and they arc respon-
@able for vast amount of unnecessary

USE NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE IN TIME
AND YOU WON'T NEED ANY FALSE HAIR

Wearing artificial hair is a harmless
deceit Of which many ladies are. guilty.
These women are all objects for sym
pathy rather than criticism.
Early neglect in the care of the scalp
has caused the loss of so much hair
that their personal appearance is sadly
marred. To correct this defect they
resort to artificial hair.
Most ladies would resent any impu-
tation of personal Carelessness and
neglect. And Yet very many women
permit their natural hair to become so
dull brittle and Iusterless that it looks
no better than the artificial.
All this is as unfortunate as it is I'M
necessary. Hair that is unsishtIy or
thin may usually be attributed to the
malevolent activity of the dandruff
germ. This vicious germ burrows down
into the hair follicle, shortly destroying
its life. The hair becomes dead, loose

A Woman On The School
Board

There is talk floating around of
asking to have woman put on the
school board and it seems no more
than fair that your readers should
know it. We do not know just
what arguments are being used to
persuade people that this should be
done but we are sure it will meet
with opposition.
Our schools are good and our
teachers are doing their best. The
school board is working hard and
ought to be supported. If the wO-
men are not satisfied, let them get
their husbands to elect other men.
1t will be very difficult to find a
woman who will be willing to ne
glect her home and her own proper
work to take such a position. I'M
agine how a woman would feel
meeting with a school board What
man would want his wife to push
into a man s place in that way I?
And then, even if they should find
Newark woman who would allow
her name to appear as candidate,
we are very sure the women would
have to come out and vote in order
to elect her. We have never ia
vored women spending foo much
time playing cards, but when they
spend two or three afternoons or
evenings a week in this way, they
are not laying themselves open to
the criticism they will get if they
begin running around to elect a wo-
man on the school board.

'"ien'e " lot lover of books. If there
'aais aga an appeal it results from merit alone
(2) The modern reader wants rapid
movement; he is hard-hearted instead OF
sentimental. The speaker referred to q
recent reading of two novels, Bleak
House. the only novel in which Dickens
shows complete mastery over subject
matter and form, and ''The Fighting
Chance by Robert w. Chambers. While
the latter holds the person for the time
DR.. Sypherd said he would never read
again, but was already looking forward
with pleasure to third reading OF
"Bleak House.
The point of the discussion was con.
sderaton of the ultimate sources of ap-
peal to the average reader of today. That
Dickens does appeal to the average read
er is proven by hte enormous sales of
his works. In 1908 in face of the count
less editions on the market, one London
firm published the works in forty vol
unies There is the greatest diversity of
is melodramatic, sentimental, narrowly
democratic; he digresses, rambles, has
none of the finish that we look for in the
works of a great writer. There is an
absence of refinment or perfection of
form-we may say he has no style. In
Martin Chuzzewit the American reader
may easily discover the whole scene is dis
torted and exaggerated.
The qualities by which Dickens attracts
readers are simplicity, tenderness and
truth to life. His works are filed with
humor of character and humor of situa-
tion. Even the Williams, as in the ease of
Quilp, are sometimes humorous. The
characters are robust, manly and char
acterictically English. A fundamental in
the works is the sincerity of the man.
Dickens characters, however, will not
bear analysis; they do not appeal to the
self completely in o.. Ter to gain pleasure
from the books.
DR.. Sypherd believes the fundamental
qualities that constitute the permanent
source of interest in Dickens may be
grouped under three heads:
(1) He touches the springs Of the sim
pie, but deep-seated emotions of the aver
age man;
(2) The pathos and the atmosphere of
earnestness which permeate his novels; /;
(3) The spontaneous and inexhaustible
humor-a quality which strikes even the
most casual reader.
DR.. Sypherd illustrated the points in
the discussion by reading from "Old
