lkT WING up to
the teapot is
- 81 h,y-ynrI in

1lT WING up to
the teapot is
a by-word in
a family that we know
of.
It's source was the in
cident of the presenta-
tion of an extremely
handsome teapot to d
newly-married couple
of artistic tastes.
How beautifulr ex-
claimed the enthusias-
tic young h Il S b a II d,
stepping back TO ad-
mire it.
"Yes, how beauti-
full" sighed the bride,
with clasped hands and
her head dropped on
one side for a new view
Of t h g sure.
George, dear, do you
suppose we can live UP
to it?'
NNE of the very best
~ reasons why fam
lilies should fill their
houses with all the
h an d S o me. dignified
furniture that they can
afford. IS that uncon-
sciously we all live up
or down TO our sur
roundings.
Depend upon it, the
things you see every
time you look around
you have a deal to do
with your feelings and
outlook on life. Tat
tered or threadbare
furnishings around the
house are not the most
inspiring.
We do not say this
because we have two
lots of new, extra fine
furniture to sell in the
Sale that started yes
terday. We know our
goods and their WORTH
ness at the prices. and
we have neither doubt
nor misgivings as to
how they are going to
sell.
We are already sell
ing them fast and will
continue TO sell them,
b Il t the question is
whether anyone can af-
ford not to see them
who can afford to buy
furniture at all.
And many persons
who may feel, perhaps
rightly, that they can
not afford at all to buy
ordinary f rni t ure
will realize, once they
see what is in this Sale,
that they cannot afford
not to buy extraordi-
nary furniture, every
piece of which repre-
sentS an investment, at
below-ordinary prices.
Fullest comfort in
living, quiet satisfac-
tion of the craving for
beauty which lies deep
in that much abused
thing called human ma
ture these are good
for both body and soul.
And sometimes a lit
tie saving and manag-
ing, or sacrificing of
trivial self-indulgences,
for the sake of getting
the right kind of things
around one, are good
for body and soul.

rived at during the visit TO England

it contemplated joint efforts, both in

Mr. Ryan brought back .encourag-

TIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

A meeting of the principals of the
city schools with the superintendent
Of public instruction, A. S. Edwards,
was held yesterday afternoon at the
county court house for the discussion
of plans for the opening of school.
1t was the consensus of opinion that,
unless weather conditions are much
better and the influenza entirely I'M
der control it would be inadyisable
to open the city schools next Monday
morning.
Many OF the teachers and pupils
have been i'll, and even though con-
valescent. it is felt by the majority
of the teachers that it would not be
wise to open the schools at this time.
when the disease has been held in
check, and other group meetings are
being forbidden all over the country.
A. S. Edwards stated last night that
the decision as to the opening would
be announced later, and would de-
pend upon the attitude of the civil
and military autaafilles, with which
the schools are trying - cooperate in
every way

URGENT APPEAL RECEIVED HERE
FOR AID IN COMBATING INFLU-
ENZA EPIDEIIC-DOCTOR To BE
SENT.

An appeal for doctors and nurses to
assist in the epidemic of influenza
which is sweeping over Graceville was
received by The Journal yesterday,
signed by Arthur Lee, cashier of the
First National Bank. The telegram
was referred to the Red Cross authori-
ties and aid will be sent from Pensa-
cola as soon as authority from Wash
ingtOn can be secured.
The telegram stated that all the doc
tors in Graceville are sick with no
help in sight and not enough well peo-
pie remaining in the city to look after
the sick. The appeal was for one or
more doctors and nurses.
DR.. Paul Mossman in charge of the
work Of the u. S. Public Health Serv-
ice here replied tC the telegram at
once, wiring that doctor could be
spared from Pensacola and immediate
ly took steps to secure the necessary
authority to make the transfer, which
must come from Washington, D. C.
1t is believed that several nurses will
be able to make the trip and aid in
stamping out the epidemic there.
Health authorities here would be
pleased if men or women of West
Florida towns who can aid Gracevilie
would offer their services to Mr. Lee
of that city. Pensacola has gone
through such a hard campaign and
most of the workers here are exhaust
ed or are needed to continue local re-
lief work. However if Graceville's
needs are not met at once, Pensacola
will endeavor to send a corps of vol
unteers

The entente forces in Belgium and
France continue to drive the enemy
before them. In Belgium Flanders the
advance is somewhat rapid, but in all
sectors Of France the Germans are

wedge driven by the allies in Flanders
seriously threatens the tenure by the
enemy of positions in north Belgium
