of which served to demonstrate how
easily the problem OF the blind can be

In the course of her address Miss
Holt said: To help the blind. We must
get at them n reclassify them; find
out where they are. what their condi-
tions are and how we a help them.
In the census OF 1900 some classical

These censuses all prove that blind

blindness. There are co. 900 blind per-

to the last census. Twenty-Five thou

and hardships of total or partial dark
ness whose eyes. with proper care and
treatment, could haye been saved; $500
more could have been preserved from
darkness by a simple nj inexpensive
method, If mothers and physicians a
known how to treat the eyes OF the
newborn.
This shows that two-hfths of the
blindness in our country could have
been avoided. 1t is obvious that our
first duty is to prevent this needless
suffering. The law and the state should
head this crusade, which should be sup
plemented by private effort.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To keep a pencil drawing from

milk and dry on a smooth hard sur
face, face up.
1t is said stains can be removed
from black cloth by rubbing with a
freshly cut raw potato, wiping with a
clean cloth.
Delicate wall paper can be cleaned
by wiping with balls of dough made
by kneading stiff a paste of four
pounds of flour and two pints of cold
water.
To keep faucets bright polish as
bright and smooth as possible, then
varnish with good spar varnish. You
can just wipe them off with a moist
cloth.
Holes in walls can be stopped with
plaster of paris, but mix this with
vinegar instead of water, or it will
harden so quickly that it will be diff
fcult to manipulate.
To clean jewelry with stones in it,
wash it in warm suds made with yel-
low soap and few drops of sal vola-
tile. You will find this makes the or.
nament brilliantly clean.

filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot
tie and take in teaspuonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the

The cannon were all Of the smooth

tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament of
