The Dawson News in recording its account
of the recent session of the Georgia Press AS
ISOLATION has this encouraging word for the
editors of the country:
The changed condition of newspaper
publishing from what it was twenty years
ago has not lowered the dominating
force and power of the man who Yields
the quill. On the contrary, the editorial
power of the press has increased with its
business betterment. Instead of few
great geniuses, a few Horace Greeleys,
Henry Wattersons, Joseph Pulitzers and
Charles A. Danas, who in their day doml-
mated the newspaper field by their giant
intelects and force of character, the fra
ternity has become more equalized. There
are fewer great lights and fewer medic
ere ones. The level of journalism in the
mass is far higher than it was twenty
five years ago. True, there are yet plen-
ty of publishers who are not editors
There are many who look at the cash reg
lister instead of the public interests as
the test of their newspaper success. But
they are decreasing, and the demands of
the reading public for matter instead of
filler" is forcing men of that tempera-
ment either to quit the business or to
change their policies.
Of course newspapers just as every other
business must have financial income sufficient
to maintain them and to improve them as
needs arise. But The Dawson New is right
when it says that the editor who regulates
the matter in his columns by an eye only or
chiefly on the financial feature of his paper
ought to quit. He is unfit to hold place of
and such place of great OPP
portunity as editing a paper. And we could
name, it seems to US, some papers, not great
many, whose editors keep their eyes for the
most part on the business end and too little
on the moldng power of the papers they edit.

 I had made a little mistake apparently. Houses all look alike in a fog. l ran up the next steps, sure this time. However at tho door which again silently opened as I touched the lowest step I just took the precaution to ask if Lady Northcliffe was receiving. She was, and again l deposited my umbrella, handed the root man my invitation card and started Vp- stairs.
 Through long vistas of mirrowed gold panelled rooms we moved side by side and at the very far end I saw lady in black sitting at a very intimate tea table chatting with friends. Where was the meeting, where all those shabby press women I was beginning to think mythical? It was too late to turn back. besides the lady had seen me and was coming half way down the room to meet me with extended hand. No sign in her face showed she was surprised. 1 mumbled something feeling myself grow scarlet. She took hold of my hand as if Fshe had known me always and said Why it's next Thurscay my dear. but stop blushing and come and have some tea and tell me all about it.
 Then she introduced me to her friends as they came in. a few ntmates iu- Nited to inspect the new house into which she had moved that very day I was made to recount my story over and over for each new guest and each, as she heard it, smiled and said: How Americanl You always have thrilling things happen to you don't you?'

Many whose eyes were failing say they had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription One man says after trying it: T was almost blind; could not see to read at all Now read every thing without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time.

pense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here IS the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablt in a fourth of a glass of water and allow to dissolve With this liquid bathe the eyes two or four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and infIam- nation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even little, take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time

 Bon-Opto is very remarkable remedy. It's cons tituent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one week S time in many instances refund the money It can be obtained from any good druggist and one of the very few preparations I feel should be kept on hand for regular use in almost every family" It is sold in this city by all good druggists

Easy Way to Keep
 Your Hair in Curl

If you have trouble keeping your hair in merine Apply little at night with a clean toothbrush, drawing this down the full length of the hair from root to tip The hair will dry in the prettiest waves and curls that you can arrange, and the effect will appear altogether natural. Instead of that dull dried-out look which the heated iron gives, the hair will be bright, lustrous and beautiful.
 Liquid silmerine is of course perfectly harmless to htir and scalp, and is neither greasy nor gummy. If you will get a few ounces from your druggist you will find it quite inexpensive to use.

DRIVE FOR $25,OOO EXTENDED TWO DAYS
Bad Weather Makes CanVaSSing Difficult; Campaign Progressing

The campaign for the S25.000 New BItain's quota for the Home for Grip pied Children. will not close tonight, as at first planned. but will wind up on Thursday night at 6;30 o'clock wit h d lunch at the New Britain club. ! The reason for extending the cam paiSn is that the weather has made il difficult for the workers to complete canvassing for funds within the allot- ted time.
 The leaders of the campaign are highly pleased with the strong en- dorsement the campaign has received from Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the Sacred Heart church, who has given very generously himself. Father BojnoWski runs an orphanage himself, and he appreciates very keenly the work such institutions as the Home for Crippled Children do. It is hoped d large number of small subscriptions will be received. The canvass from lists will continue all day today after which the city will be thrown wide open for d general canvass.
 Acting Chairman L. \. Sprague ar ranged today to have pledge cards at all the local banks so that people may make pledges while depositing their money. The bankers have all prom lsed their cooperation in this matter and will be ready to receive pledges Treasurer Curtiss l.. Sheldon is in re- ceipt of a, number of subscriptions in response to the advertisements print ed in the Saturday papers.
 Don't Respond.
 Numerous factory foremen and of flee men who have given to other campaigns have for some reason fail ed to respond as yet to this appeal. There seems to be some n1iSrIO1er standing as these men always give generously, once an appeal has been made to them. Between now and closing time, it is expected that a large mum Der of them will respond. It is desired to get as far aS possible some subscription from everyone in New Britain.
