Having been asked by the editor of the children's column, to give. some expression of the views of school director on the United War Work Campaign, I am forced to the conclu- sion that being school director adds nothing to ones ability as writer, and that a concise and comprehensive expression of opinion is just as diff ficult to a school director as to any other individual who has not been honored by having, in measure, the responsibility of good schools and proper education of the hope of the world" put in his hands.
 TO the boys and girls of Newport I would say, that having share in the War Work Campaign is an honor and privilige that you should not hold lightly. You have been enrolled in the great army back of the front and, just as much as the boys in khaki, are you part and parcel of the great work that our country and our allies are in a fair way of concluding. ( The work of the Salvation Army, Y. n. c. A., Jewish Welfare Board, Knights of Columbus, and other as sociations for whose support the United Var Work Campaign is being
 
 waged, is just as important, just as essential, and just as necessary to the success of our cause as is the work of any other department of our gallant army not actually engaged in the pleasing pastime of Busting Boches." You are soldiers back of the line and your reward for service will be the consciousness of having done you share toward the preservation of democracy, and even civilization, in as great measure as opportunity has been offered you,

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
 NOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- suit. Unless the inflammation car be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an unframed condition of the mu- cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Ca tarrh Medicine Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.
