counties make it possible for the

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promin-

cessful in removing freckles and CIV
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by w. B. Eastman under
guarantee to refund the money if it
fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

FREE GLASSES TO SCHOOL.
 CHILDREN.

l It often happens that schoolchil-
 dren are in great need of glasses and yet have not the money to buy them. Perhaps the eyes have been examined in the early fall, by the teacher, ac-
 cording to the printed instruction, and some defect has been found. Maybe the child cannot see the blackboard Maybe the teacher finds that although the child can see we'll at distance. he frequently com plains of headache and eyeache, after getting his lessons Maybe the eyes are red, or maybe the child is cross
 eyed. At all events the teacher dis covers that something is wrong. so she sends printed card to the par eat., which notifies him that his child's eyes are not right, and ad- vises him to seek competent advice. The mother or the school nurse, therefore. takes the child to the oculist who. discovers that glasses are urgently needed. to enable the child properly to receive offered school instruction. Without glasses this cannot be done. and the child is seriously hampered in the acquire ment of an education If the parents cannot. under, these circumstances, buy glasses, what is to be done? This is serious question and one which will have to be answered. There should be a fund in the hands of the school board of every city to meet this emergency. This fund may be raised by contributions if necessary, but the best way is to have 1t come from the city treasury. The amount required would not be large. Suit ablet arrangements could be made with some wholesale optical house, to furnish these glasses at almost cost.
 In Cleveland, where school exami-
 nations are performed quite thor oughly, less than 400 pairs of glasses
 are given away to poor children an-
 nually This probably does not cost Cleveland $4O0 year and think Of the enormous benefits that are pro- duced. Schoolbooks. lunches, etc, are given away in many cities, why not then free glasses?

PARENTS AND SCHOOL.

Parents of eight, seniors in the Texarkana, Texas, High school are indignant with the school authorities because the eight students, failed to make the required grade of 75 per cent in order to be eligible for gradu- &tfon. investigation demonstrated the papers were, graded fairly, and the only plea the indignant parents could offer through an attorney was that the children had been led to believe they would graduate. This seems to be a mighty poor excuse. The teachers probably suspected the children would not make the grades, but had they indicated the suspicion that some members of the senior class would fail in the final examl- nations charges of prejudice, bfas and favoritism would have followed. A compromise was effected by the school authorities agreeting to per init the delinquents to take part m the commencement exercises on the same basis as the successful stu dents. To make the deception ot the public more complete, the students graduating will receive their diplo- mas Ion the sly" during the after noon. The delinquents are to make up these studies during the next term when they will be given diplomas. ln granting such compromise the Texarkana board was doubtless mov- ed by a desire to avoid embarrassing and wounding the feelings of anyone but at the same time such procedure is an injustice to the students wno receive their diplomas through work If the parents of the delinquents had displayed the interest in school worH through the year that they did when they ascertained their children nae failed. the entire affair would have been avoided.
