PREVENTABLE MISFORTUNE Pathetic Case of Children Who Need Not Have Been Blind. CAUSES OF THE SAD CONDITION Plan af tCdncatloa, I. emulation ana ('-Operation la Combatting the Affliction MeaBB to a Good End. 'One-fourth of all the blind children In the blind schools of the country are un necessarily blind." Is the astonishing' sen tence used as a teat in the report of the New York association for the blind. The aasuclatlon haa undertaken a plan of education. ' legislation and co-operation which, it is hoped, will arouse the public and effectively combat the causes of the s;rtat affliction. In the printed report the dalm Is made that theae thousands of children are not shut up In lifelong dark-' nass 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 wsshed properly and riven 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 wkh good eyes probably never appreciate the full pathos of It. They don't lose liope of seeing again. The committee quotes this from Milton, the great blind singer: """'h?)?1 U'ht' """Pring of Heav'n flrst- An ,1 th" 1 "vU,t M, And feel they sovereign vital lamp; but t nou V''l.ot ihe"? e""' tn,t ro ln v'n lo find the piercing ray, and find no dawn. Tnull Wth tne y(ar Seasons return, but not to me returns uay, or the sweet approach of ev n or morn, Or sls-ht of vernal bloom, or summer s rose, u. , k"' or hrds, or humar. face devlne; But clouds Instead, and ever-during dark. The Principal rsate. Ophthalmia neonatorum Is the name by which physicians know this principal cause of the unnecessary blindness. It is an In fectious disease appearing at the time of birth. A professor in the University of Leipslg twenty-afcht years ago announced that a S per cent solution of nitrate of sil ver dropped, a single drop. Into each eys of a new-born Infant, would destroy the germs of the disease, where these existed, and would not Injure the sight of healthy eye. In 1KS0. just before snd Just after the application of his newly discovered pre ventive, the percentage of ophthalmia Uropped from 7H per cent to 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 ot every physicians' knowl edge. Yet there are between 6.000 and 7,000 persons In the United State 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 umounts vir tually to putting the child'e eyea out. This Is a dispassionate conclusion from the following fact. By nature, the disease Is: Easily preventable if precautionary NO MORE DYSPEPSIA OR UPSET STOMACH 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 dieted stomach gets the blues and grumbles. Give It a good eat, than- take Papa's Dlapepsln to start the digestive Juices working. There will be no dyspepsia or belching of Oas or eruc tations of undigested food; no feeling ilka a lump of lead In the stomach or heartburn, sick headache and Dlsslness, your food will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. Papa's Dlapepsln coata only SO cents for m large rasa at aay drug store here, and will relieve the most obstlnat case of I n dlavatloo and Upset Stomach ln five mln. There Is nothing else better to take Gae from Stomach and cleanse the stom ach and Intestines, and, besides, one tri angule will digest and prepare for as slmilstlon into the blood all your food the same aa a aound. healthy stomach would do It When Dlapepsln works, your stomach rests gets Itself In order, cleans up and then you feel like eating when you come to the table, and what you eat will do you good.

If when It de velops, skilled medical treatment can be secured quickly; fatal to sight If prompt preventive and curative measures are not taken, and ending in total blindness through the destruction of the eyeballs. Most of the negligence and Ignorance, the committee believes, must be attributed not to physicians, but to women who as sist at the births. Means or rretesllos. The recommendations of the committee may be summarized as follows: First-The examination, licensing and rglstratloq of mid wives by local boards of health, with power to revoke licenses st any time- power to require them to report snnually In person for reglstrstton or to hsve their license renewed annually; to prescribe the outfit used; to require strict conformity to the law relating to birth cer tificates; to have power to enforce such ..,nd r'aultlons for the prsotice of midwifery as the department of health may adopt, and to require them Imme diately to report to the department each case or ophthalmia occurring under their ministration, under penalty for neglect. If found guilty, of fine and. for a subsequent offense, forfeiture of license. Second Circulars of Instruction to asslst snts, mothers and nurses to be Issued by board of health ln regard to the care of the eyes of the new born Infant. For distribu tion In large cities (hey should be printed In several languages. Third The preparation and predlsttibu tlon by state boards of healtn to local boards of small glaas tubes, each contain ing a proper preventive solution. They should be accompanied by specific direc tions for use. The consensus of opinion among medical men Is that ths chosen pre ventive should be a derivative of the silver salts, preferably a 1 per cent solution of mlrate of stiver. The glsss tubes should each contain the exact quantity to be uaed for the eyea of one Infant. It Is estlmsted that the annual cost of providing enough or these tubes for the stste of New York will nor exceed $3.ono. Fourth Registration of Births: The forms for certificates of birth to be issued by the state board of health should hsve frlnted upon them. In substance, as fol ows: 1. What preventive for ophthalmia neonatorum have you used for the child s eyes? 2. If none, state ths reason therefor. S. If no preventive measure has been taken nor adequate reason for the omission given, and the child develops ophthalmia neonatorum, the law Imposes a penalty ot fine or Imprisonment, or both, upon the re sponsible parties, other thaa a legally qualified medical practitioner. 4. Small glass tubes, containing the prophylactic; adopted by the state board of health, will be supplied free of rost to physicians snd mid wives spplying for the same, at the office of tiie county depart ment of health. Fifth Records That certain specified rec ords be kept by physicians, snd by all maternity Institutions and other hospitals In which children are born. To give fores to these recommendations, the committee plans to latere the New Tork legislature at Its next session in acts embodying them. By co-operation with other societies throughout the country, it hopes to interest all the state legislatures In such acts. If this work will preserve the sight of 6,000 persons of the next generation, as It might have done In this, who will say It Is not worth while? The committee numbers among Its mem bers republicans and deocrats, Protestants, Catholics and Jews all working In behalf of a common object. Among the officers of the association which appointed the committee are Richard Watson Gilder, Miss Helen Keller, Nicholas Murray Butler, Samuel L. Clemens and others.

In point of service he is the oldest grsnd chsplain In the Masonic order In the world, having been grand chaplain of the Grand lodge of Oregon for thirty-five con secutive yesrs. "He belongs to your lodge," was ths state ment a speaker made In Introducing Dr. Bell when ha delivered a lecture at the summer Bible school In this city last year. This statement applied to almost ever;' man In ths large crowd. He belongs to all branches of the Masonic fraternity, the Kntghts of Pythias, the Odd Fellows, the Elks, the Eagles and the Red Men.

SUCTION JARRED HER NERVES Woniis Want Illvorce from Has band Too Noisy with Soap, - Mrs. Mine Lelder wants a divorce from Ach I.eider, who eats his food with a knife and his soup with a noise, accord ing to a petition filed somewhat mys teriously In the circuit court of St. Lrftuls. The plaintiff says she has played the role of wife to Ach since 1194. but that life hss become too burdensome to be yoked with hie iny longer. 8he was born ln 1874. she says, snd wss graduated In 1(96 from Wellesley. "famous among the colleges of the lend where blue stockings ars aa prominent ss dslsles ln June." There she learned the ways of polite society and acquired good manners and correct habits of eating, otherwise known aa tabla manners. Consequently, the sight of a person estlng with a knife or the sound of soup gurgling Into the mouth or the blowing of one's nose at meals or the Inhaling of liquids or semt-llqulds by the power of suction are sourcss of ex cruclstlng pain and annoyance to her. "Her husband," she says, ''bends over his soup plata with his head until his besrd simost dips into the soup, and from the time of lifting the first spoon ful to his lips until the last drop is drained makes a noise skin to that of a sawmill." He contends, shs says, that this method of taking soup koeps the muscles of his face la action, and such exercise prevents the growth of wrlnklea. The plaintiff avers that thane conten tions sis false, and ara known by lbs de fendant, Ach Leider, to be false. The plaintiff saya Ach la a lady killer, or thinks he Is, and never leaves home without a boutonnlere In his coat lapel. He also snorss, she says, and she haa requested him to sleep ln the bssement, where he would not disturb anything but the dog, but he has "stubbornly and per sistently refused to do so."

A case In which the course-of a hailstorm was determined by that of an electric transmission line Is recorded ln Vaucluse, France. The storm swept over an area of about one mile and a half. Its direction corre sponded to that of a 45,0MVvolt three phase transmission line, which hss been operating for less than a year. The line Is roughly parallel to a chain of mountains 1,000 to 1,100 meters high, about 3,300 feet, called the I.uebron, which has a reputation for attracting hall, st an altitude from 2W to 400 meters, 660 to 1.300 feet, and Is situated from four to five kilo meters (two to four miles south of the Luebron. A number of nsrrow valleys run dowa from the chain and are cut at right angles by the line. It was observed that the storm, nn en countering at its start ona of the vslleys, st first followed It toward the Luebron, then crossed It at a point where ths bank dipped, rejoined the course of the elec tric line, which It had not completely de serted, and thence followed the latter closely until the hail stopped. The effects of the storm were fait' 'most strongly in the immediate vicinity of the line, decreasing gradually on either side. At the center of the stricken sone, along ths trace and following the contours of the electric cables, the hall fell without rain during nearly a quarter of an hour, while at the two sides it was accompa nied by water. Storms In this region gen erally coma in the opposite direction to that which this one took and without bringing hall. The observations Indicate that the action of the current bad some effect ln attracting snd directing the storm. A land owner about 1,300 feet from (ha cables reported having seen near the ca bles three grest balls twice the size of a man's head, which remained suspended for a moment and then exploded immediately before the fall of hall.
