agree that the corporations have their

TO SAVE BABIES EYES.
Pennsylvania Health Officer VIII
Enforce Forgotten Law.

HARRISBURG, Pa. December 3D.
State Health Commissioner Dixon hopes
to decrease blindness in Pennsylvania by
enforcing a law that has been dormant
for years
A recent report from the Pennsylvania
School for the Blind says that in the last
eight years more than one-third of the
persons admitted to that institution have
owed their affection to ophthalmia neona-
forum, the affection of the eyes which
occurs at the birth of the infant. The
law which DR.. Dixon seeks to have en-
forced was passed in 1895. and provides:
THAT should one or both eyes of an
infant become inflamed or swollen or red
dened at any time within two weeks
after birth it shall be the duty of the
nurse or other person having the care Of
such infant to report in writing within
six hours after the discovery thereof to
the health officer or legally qualified prac-
titioner of the city. town or district in
which the mother of the child resides the
fact that such inflammation or swelling
or redneSs exists"
1t then becomes the duty of the health
officer to notify the parents of the danger
If the eyes of the infant do not imrne-
diately receive proper treatment.

CRIGER WANTS HIS.
Says He Will Quit if He Does Not
Get Piece Of Purchase Money.

Get Piece Of Purchase Money.
BOSTON. December 26.-Lou Criger has
declared himself; he objects to being sold
by the Boston Americans to ST. Louis
and says so in his characteristic manner.
Louis is keen for part of that purchase
money, and will not play ball next season
unless he gets it.
Those who know Criger believe he was
never more In earnest than at the pres
ent time. and these. friends who have had
letters from the clever backstop, are
awaiting the outcome Of this tangle with
Interest.
Criger has a few dollars saved and II
he makes up his mind to quit base ball
he Is out Of it for good; all the talk and
persuasion in the world wouldn't change
him.
These stories Of his contemplating buy
ing land for summer resort upon which
to erect a hotel and cottages are a little
shaky. Criger intends to go in for stock
raising, having purchased stock farm
In Michigan. and will devote his entire
attention to this business should he fail
to secure what he deems right for him
In the deal whereby he was traded to
the Brownies for Spencer and 5000.
When Criger was sent to Dr. Brooks to
undergo an operation the latter part of
the season he had no idea Of leaving the
game. He had signed a contract with
President Taylor for 1909 and, as Presi-
dent Taylor said, remarked that when
he signed 1t 1t made him happier than
anything in the world.

CURED BY HYPNOTISM.
Hard Drinker Relieved Of His Crav.
ing for Liquor.

DES MONIES, December 28.-Complete-
ly cured of the drink habit, Lavean was
discharged from jail last night The
cure was the result of five hypnotic
treatments by the Rev. Thomas Casady,
pastor of st. Marks Episcopal Church.
To test the cure, liquor was offered him.
but Lavean refused to drink. He de-
clared he had no objection to it. and had
no reason for refusing whatever, but SIM
ply wouldn't drink.
Mr.. Cassidy declares the reason he had
to have the subject arrested was that
the brain must be free from the effect
of alcohol forty-eight hours before hyp-
notism can be effective. He had tried
to cure Lavean several times prior to
his arrest. but couldn't get the man to
go drinkless long enough to get hold
with hypnotiSm.
