Don't Neglect
Your Eyes.

ooh, mother, see lights in the
sky" And this child, after visiting
an optometrist, saw the stars for the
first time. His mother, though a
strong woman, broke down and wept
to think she had neglected the child
so long. Father, mother, are you
going to allow your child to be thus
neglected, when an examination Of
their eyes will reveal his or her true
condition? Over so per cent. Of
children have defective vision in
some way. Better bring your child
to us for a thorough, scientific ex-
animation. Will not advise glasses
unless absolutely necessary.
Open Saturday evenings until 8
O'Clock.

The Danvllle Advocate saws:


A travelling man sitting at
one of the front secOnd-story
windows of the Gilcher Hotel
busily knitting presented a most
unusual sight (for this section)
to passersby. Many paused,
smiled, and continued on their
way after viewing with more or
less curiosity full-grown, able
bodied man resting his feet in
the window while two knitting
needles held in his hands, con-
tinuOusly lodged and darted at
each other. However, it is not
an uncommon thing in the east
to See men knitting on interurbar
or railway trains; and even the
policemen have taken up knit
ing on their beats, thus contribu-
ting to the war, and at the time
preserving the peace" The
policemen in the east were
taught the art by the Red Cross
girls. New York City boasts of
many "nattv, knitting police
men,"

British forces. after fighting THEN
way up to the line, organized a
crushing attack against the line it
self. This morning alone, on the
20 mile front where the British are
mainly engaged. they are reported
to have advanced four miles. This
seems to emphasize the Cleanness
of the break. and, with the large
captures of prisoners, points to the
decentralization of the German
forces in this area.
O 1t is too early TO estimate with
any degree of accuracy what effect
the present big drive of the allies
may ultimately produce. The fall
OF Douai and Cambria, which now
seems not improbable in the near
future. would put the entire Ger
man line out of joint between the
north sea and Reims, however, and
would be likely to force the evacu-
alton of great part of northern
France now occupied by the Ger
mans.

Americans in the south may be
counted on to work toward such a
result There is a hint in today S
