In the printed report the clalm is made that these thousands of children are not shut up in lifelong dark ness because their parents could not afford the services of eye specialists. It is be- cause at the time of their birth their eyes were not washed properly und given a treatment so simple that the humblest wo- man can administer it Try to amuse your self blindfolded for an hour and you understand some of the inconveniences of blindness. Persons with #00d eyes probably never appreciate the full pathos of it. They don't lose hope of seelng again. The committee quotes this NO MORE DYSPEPSIA Eat your favorite food without fear of Indigestion or Stomach Distress. Why not start now-—today, and for- ever rid yourself of Stomach trouble and Indigestion? A dleted stomach gets the blues and grumbles. Give It a good eat, ihan. take Pape's Diapepsin to start the digestive julces working.

But clouds instead, and ever-during dark The Principal Cause. Ophthalmla neonatorum is the name by which physicians know this principal cause of the unnecessary blindness. It is an in- feotious disease appearing at the time of birth. A professor in the University of Leipsig twenty-elght vears ago announced that a 2 per cent solution of nitrate of sil- ver dropped. a single drop, Into each eye of a new-born Infant, would destroy the germs of the disease, where these existed, and would not Injure the sight of healthy eyes. In 18%, just before and just after the application of his newly discovered pre- ventive, the percentage of ophthalmia dropped from Ti per cent to 4 per cent The eyes of no baby born are safe with- out the application of this or a similar pre- ventive. The fact and the remedy are among the abe's of every physiclans’ knowl- odge. Yet there are between/ 6,000 and 7, persons In the United States who are totally blind because the simple precaution was not taken when they were born. Neg- ligence and ignorance are the only causes. Either one at such a time amounts vir- tually to putting the child's eyes out. This 1s a dispassionate conclusion from the following fact. By nature, the disease ls: Easily preventable if precautionary OR UPSET STOMACH utes.

The recommendations of the committeo may be summarized follows: First—The examination, licensing and josistration of midwives by local boards of health, with power to revoke licenses at any time; power to require them to report annually 'in person for registration or to have thelr license remewed annually; to prescribe the outfit used; to require strict conformity to the law reiating to birth cer- {ificates; to have power to enforce such nd regulations for the praotice of i fery as the deparument of health may adopt, and to require them imme- diately to Teport to the department each case of ophthalmia occurring under their ministration, under penalty for neglect, it found guilty, of fine and, for a subsequent offense, forfelture of license. Second—Circulars of instruction to assist- ants, mothers and nurses to be issued by board of health in regard to the care of the eyes of the new born infant. For distribu- tion in large citles they should be printed in several languages Third—~The preparation and predistribu- tion' by state boirds ot health co local boards of small glass tubes, each contain- ing a proper preventive solution. The should be accompanied by specific direc. tions for use. The consensus of opinion among medical men I8 that the chosen pre- ventive should be a derivative of the siiver salts, preferably a 1 per cent solution of mirate of siiver. The glass tubes should each contain the exact quantity to be used for the eyes of one infant. It iy estimated that the annual cost of providing enough of these tubes for the state of New York will not exceed $3.000. Fourth—Reglstration of Births: The forms for certificates of birth to be issued by the state board of heaith should have printed upon them, in substance, as fol- lows: 1. What preventiva for hthalmla neonatorum have you used for the child's eyes® 2. If none, state the reason therefor. 1 It no preventive messure has been taken nor adequate reason for the omission given, and the child develops ophthalmia neonatorum, the law imposes a penalty of fine or imprisonment, or both, upon the re- sponsible parties, other than & legally qualified medical practitioner. 4. Small glass (ubes. containing the prophylactic adopted by the state board of health, will be supplied free of comt to physiclans and midwives applying for the same, at the office of the county depart- ment of health Fifth—Records—That certain specified reec- ords be kept by ysicians, and by maternity Institutions and other hospitais in which children are born. To give foree to these recommendations, the committes plans to interest the New bers republicans and deocrats, Protestants, of a common object. Among the officers of the association which appointed the committee are Richard Watson Glider, Miss Helen Keller, Nicholas Murray Butler, Samuel L. Clemens and others. PRINCE OF _ GOOD RIDERS A Jiner frem Jinerville with Bunches of Degrees to Burn. The friends of Rev. J. R. N. Bell, D.

The plaintiff says she has played the role of wife to Ach since 1894, but that Iife has become too burdensome to yoked with his any longer. She was born in 1874, she says, and was graduated in 1895 from Wellesley, “famous among the colleges of the land where blue stockings are as prominent as dalsies in June." There she learned the ways of polite soclety and acquired good manners and correct habits of eating, otherwise known as table manners. Consequently, the sight of a person eating with a knife or the sound of soup Eurgling Into the mouth or the blowing of one's nose at meals or <he inhaling of liquids or semi-liquids by the power of suction are sources of ex- cruciating pain and annoyance to her. “Her husband,” she says, “bends over his soup plate with his head until his beard almost dips into the soup, and from the time of lifting the firat spoon ful to his lips until the last drop 1s drained makes a noise akin to that of a sawmill He contends, she says, that this method of taking soup keeps the muscles of his face in action, and such exercise prevents the growth of wrinkles The plaintitf avers that these conten- tions aie lel and are kaown by the de- Frenchman Puts in Tall Claim is Based on Some Exper ments. storm blds fair To guide the to within the power of man recorded In Vaucluse, France. one mile and a half. sponded to that of & 45,000-volt phase transmission line, which has operating for less than a year. of mountains 1,00 to 1100 about 3,300 feet, called the Luebron has a reputation for attracting hall altitude from 200 to 400 meters feet meters (two to four Luebron down from the chain and are angles by the line, It was observed that meters miles) south the storm at first followed it toward the {CAN MAN PILOT STORMS? that fall A case in which the course:of a hallstorm was determined by that of an electric transmission line 18 The storm swept over an area of about Its direction corre- three- been The line is roughly parallel to a chain which at an 60 to 1.300 and is situated from four to five kilo- of the A number of narrow valleys run ut at right on en- countering at its start one of the valleys, Luebron, trace and following the contours of the electric cables, the hafl fell without rain during nearly a quarter of an hour, while at the two sides it was accompa nled by water.
