By Sudden Action

The quick action of pure Lavoptik
eye wash is startling. A school boy
had eye strain so badly he could not
read. A weeks use of Lavoptik sur
prised his teacher so much she used
it for her ola mother. ONE WASH
showed benefit. A small bottle is
guaranteed tt benefit EVERY CASE
of weak, strained or infamed eyes.
The QUICK result is astonishing.

Rivals the "Human Elyr

OF all American animals, bighorn,
the mountain sheep, is one of the most
remarkable. Not only is he equally
remarkable in his ability to live, and
I've well. in an environment where it
would seem that no animal of such
size could possibly sustain life. There,
on the roof of the world, he not only
sustains life, but winter or summer,
appears to be fat and in the best Of
condition, the Peoples Home Magazine
says.

Will You Hold Your Head Up Proudly
When They Come Home?

almost dropped it again in surprise. For the
voice that of my good old friend, and |
supposed him far away In France.
"'What, back soon" | exclaimed. ODE

eyes, back" he answered; and it struck me
that his voice was slow and older, though the
weeks of his absence had been years. Back
but not for special duty. There-there is
another reason"
And then knew that he must be wounded.
Wounded-while here at home, l still pur-
sued my ordinary course. Wounded-to pro-
tect my home. Wounded-to keep my children
safe.
1t came over me Of a sudden, as it never had
before, that | am debtor to him to an amount
that | never can repay.
They will all be coming back before long.
Some wounded; some grown strangely old. But
most of them well and normal enough, thank
God.
And we will stand along the sidewalks to see
them pass. How shall we feel that day, I
wonder.
Will their eyes say to u.s. eve were hungry
for bit of sweet, and you did not think to send
it,
eve were cold and you let the hut fires die:
we were lonesome, and the movies stopped be-
cause there were no funds to carry on
Will that be their message OF their eyes to us?
Orsha we stand confidently in their presence,
greeting them as men who have nothing to
repent.
I as men who in their absence gave freely Of
wealth and time, that there might be warmth
and cheer and comfort over there!
They are coming back some day-perhaps
before we think.
And what will be the message of their eyes to
you?

CITY or NEWPORT
The Toll of the Influenza

The epidemic of influenza that has
been sweeping over the country and
began to hit Newport city about the
first of October causing so much
sickness and sorrow, leaving many
sad homes, has abated and every one
hopes will never return again.
While it means something for a
city the size of Newport to give up
over thirty of her citizens, nearly all
of which were young people, in the
short time of five weeks, yet when
we consider the great number of
cases and the conditions that existed,
in some cases whole families were
sick and almost impossible to get any
one to care for them, we wonder
sometimes that the death toll was
not more. Newport has reason to
be proud of her physicians as they
worked day and night with but very
little rest while the epidemic tagged,
and if they could have had more
trained nurses many lives would have
been spared. And if they had re-
ceived the volunteer service at the
beginning that they did get after a
call was sent out, this would have
been valuable help. The work that
some of cur people did to help re-
lieve the sick should have won med
ais, and if no one hadn't done more
than some did do, there wouldn't have
been enough left alive to have buried
the dead 1t takes courage and brave
hearts to win at such times and such
an epidemic is not going to be check
ed without some one sacrificing their
| lives doing it, just the same as this
war is being ended.
The early. closing of our schools
and all public gathering places was
good judgment on the part Of the
Board of Health and no doubt was {
great factor in keeping the epidemi'
from spreading more than it did. Oul
health officer reports only two O.
three cases the past week, one O
which YVES reported on Saturday.
To correct any false report tina
might have been sent out during tn
epidemic as to the number of death
that occurred, we are printing tn
names and res, also the cause 0
death of those who passed away i
our city from Sept. 26 to Nov. 7, a

COMMUNITY SINGING.

Nashville. Tenn, October 30.
The formation of Liberty Choruses
aud the encouragement of COM
munity singing in every section Of
the State is urged in letters sent
out this week from the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, signed by 1. Milton
Cook, State musical director.
Major Ruthledge Smith chair
man of the State Council of De-
fense, says that the community
singing idea is splendid one and
has the tendency to familiarize the
citizens of the State with all patri-
otto music of the day. "The sing
ing community, like the singing
army, is fighting one," comment
ed Major Smith, "and the forma-
tion of these Liberty Choruses
and the meeting together of these
people for singing makes for e
better fighting spirit in all war
work"
Where these choruses are form
ed there should be mass meeting
and leader selected and the State
musical director should be notified
at once of such organization amt
the name of chorus leader.

Inc lnHuonZa mas Oe6n raging
in the camp, but no new cases have
been reported this week. Deaths
from influenza and pneumonia av-
eraged about 18 daily for several
weeks. Some of my company died
of it and others are in the hospital
as we'll as myself. My company is
leaving today fer overseas. This
makes the third company that has
left me since / have been in camp.
If [ had not been sick | would
have been in France ere now I
guess.
Well, / have some good news l
want to tell my friends in dear old
Tennessee. A few Sunday nights
ago [ attended chapel service at
the Y. M. @. A. hall, held for the
benefit of some of the boys who
were leaving for the war zone in
Europe. | can say truthfully that
it was an impressive service. We
engaged in singing, after which
the chaplain preached splendid
sermon. Then one of the Y. nj. @.
A. men made short talk on the
way a soldier boy should conduct
himself. We sang that grand old
song, "God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" then the goodbyes
were said and the departing boys
entrained for the seaboard.
1t is not often that soldier boy
has the privilege of attending
regular devotional service, and [
certainly enjoyed the privilege re-
ferred to, for | certainly was bene-
fitted by being present and 1 am
very grateful that it was my privi-
'lege- to be present.
lie it was not for the Y. M. G. A.
| don't know what the soldier boys
would do in this war. Besides the
moral and spiritual influence ex.
erted we are furnished stationery
and many other things necessary
for the comfort and convenience of
the soldiers. We are furnished
writing desks and all the good
books we want to read on Sundays
and other times when we have the
opportunities The Y. M. G. A. fur
nishes moving picture shows free
three nights week. Indeed, the
soldier boy has no better friend
than the Y. M. G. A.
Well, friends, how is everything
in Tennessee? / would certainly
enjoy returning to the old Volun-
teer State, but haven't any idea
when | will have an opportunity
to do SO. l long for the day to
come when 1 can again look into
the faces of my Tennessee friends.
Let me say for the benefit of the
boys liable to be called into army
service, that army life is entirely
different to the .life you have been
living. You will find many temp
tations IN camp to do wrong, but if
