Paris, May 1.-THE movement of

notice the fact that ten United States

branches of the service, are on duty in
France for instruction in French mil

UNFORTUNATE TENNESSEE
(Memphis News Scimiter.)


If the people would stop and serious
ly pause to give some thought to the
political conditions of Tennessee, they
would not hesitate to pronounce the
state peculiarly unfortunate at this
time from a political standpoint. 1t
seems that the old spirit is dead. 1t
seems that noble sincerity has given
place to ignoble hypocrisy. 1t seems
that opportunism has Tsurped the
throne of patriotism. 1t seems that po-
litical machination is in the ascend
ency, and holds despotic empire over
craftsmanship. 1t seems that we have
broken away from all our ancient and
honorable glory, and that we are
fioundering in the depths and quag-
mires Of dirty politics. At one time,
and not so very long ago-it is we'll
within the memory of people of middle
age-honor was more esteemed than
office. At the present time office has
been commercialized and rendered
sordid, and the only ambition of the
public men of today is to "get there"
and feather their nests when they ar
rive. 1t does not seem like anyone
regards it infamous to tell lie for
political purposes, or in the interest
of his own or his friends advancement.
Anything to win. Anything to beat the
other fellow. Personally and private
ly the minds and the morals of the
people of Tennessee are as clean and
as pure as they ever were, if not more
so; but politically we seem to have
Abandoned chart and compass, and are
being beaten about by the plangent
wave of factional politics. Surely the
time IS near at hand when we will
get over this. Surely our schools and
colleges are turning out young men
who will insist on a restoration of the
ancient order and demand that our
politics be put on a higher plane.

EYE GLASSES SHOULD GO
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.
Here Is His Free Prescription.

Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyes of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
'The following treatment is worthy
of fullest confidence 1t is scientific,
Immediately effective and positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get tube of Optona
tablets, dissolve one in a two ounce
bottle of pure water and battle the eyes
two to four times daily. What Is gen.
orally known as eye strain will soon
be banished while the muscles and
nerves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. It helps diseased
eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy;
1t is absolutely harmless in every way;
does not smart or burn, has a wonder
full effect on granulated lids and is
especially recommended for dull,
bleary or CLASSY eyes. It helps all
eyes and should be in every home for
use in emergency"
The following extracts are from let
ters received from users of this pre-
scription:
81 used DIPLOMA one week for a cold
in nv eyes; it did me great deal Of
good"
"My eyes have been failing for years.
am sure DIPLOMA is doing them good
and shall continue its use"
"Have only been using DIPLOMA a
short time. My eyes are improving
wonderfully"
81 find Diploma very satisfactory and
recommend it wherever I find an op-
portunity. I find it very soothing"
1--WE been benefited by DIPLOMA and
intend to follow the treatment"
"Have been using DIPLOMA for about
three months and 1t has greatly in
proved my sight"
"My eyes have been sore for several
years: were red and inf1amed. Used
everything recommended and gained
no relief. had my eyes examined and
wore glasses for six months. read
of Optona and thought would give 1t
a trial. Am glad t be ahIe to state
I got satisfactory relief, and have not
worn my glasses since. feel my eyes
do not REQUIRE them"
Many others have made similar re.
norts. If your eyes bother you. have
the above prescription filed: It may do
wonders for you. Do not become vic
tim of neglect. You perhaps value
your eyes more THAI any other organ
therefore it's your duty to protect
them. This free prescription has given
relief to thousands.

RESERVE BOARD INDEPENDENT
Body Not Under Direction of Any
Federal Department.

The federal reserve board is an in
dependent government body. not under
any department, according to an opin-
ion by Attorney General Gregory, re-
ceived last night by Secretary McAdoo.
The opinion settles the question.
much discussed in official circles. of
whether the board is in any way sub
ordinate to the Treasury Department.
The board will have a status similar
to the interstate commerce commission,
and will be regarded as Il coordinate
part of the government.
The question of the boards status
was raised because of the fact that
while its members are appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate. their compensation is paid by
the federal reserve banks. MIR. Greg
DRY decided that the assessments made
upon the banks for the board become
federal money when paid and shall be
audited by the government.
