Having been asked by the editor of
the children’s column, to give some
expression of the views of a school
director on the United War Work
Campaign, I ani forced to the conclu
sion (hat being a school director adds
nothing to one’s ability as a writer,
and that a concise and comprehensive
expression of opinion is just as dif
ficult to a school director as to any
other individual who 'has not been
honored by having, in a measure, the
responsiblity of good schools and
proper education of the “hope of the
world” put in his hands.
the boys and girls of Newport I
would say, that having a share in the
War Work Campaign is an honor and
privilige th£t 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 a part and parcel of the great
, work that our country and our allies
ar? in a fair way concluding.
V The work of the Salvation Army, Y.
^.1. 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 conciousness pf having done
you share toward the preservation of
democracy, and even civilization, in
as great a measure as opportunity has
been offered you.
As was said by one of the geatest of
Americans, “With malice toward none,
cuLga1 1--—-...
... ■ ■ ' ..
with charity for all, as God gives us
to see the right, let us strive on to
finish the work we are in.”

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
intlamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it As
entirely closed, Deafness is the re- \
suit. Unless the inflammation car. j
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases ol
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces. Hall’s 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 Hall’s Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
Druggists, 75c.

HOW A SALESMAN SUFFERED.

“I suffered with a painful, weak
