AFFECTION OF
EYES At BIRTH
If Properly Treated at the Time
Cases of Blindness Would
Not Occur.

Harrisburg Pa, Dec. Estate Health
Commissioner Dixon hopes to see pre-
vented fully one-third the number of
cases of blindness occurring In PsrnsyI-
vania. He declares that this can be done
If an old law that has lain practically
dormant on the statute books of the state
for number of years. and the sugges-
tions that the state department of health
proposed, are carefully carried out
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 affliction to ophthalnia neo-
eyes which occurs at the birth of the
infant.
Duty of Nurses.
The law which DR.. Dixon seeks TO have
enforced provides that should one or both
eyes of an infant become infiamed or
swollen or Redeemed at any time within
two weeks after birth, il shall be the duty
of the nurse or other persons having the
care of such infant to report in writing
within six hours after the discovery
thereof to the health officer or legally
qualified practitioner 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 be-
comes the duty of the health officer to
notify the parents of the danger if the
eyes of the infant do not improve under
proper treatment.
Remedy Suggested.
Writing to the ten thousand physicians
throughout Pennsylvania about this state
ment, DR.. Dixon says:

dom of entrusting the treatment of so
delicate an organ as the eye to unskille.i
hands, have appended 20 the law in eX-
aminations making the duty of the health
office to urge those in charge to secure

One of the most expensive Fifth ave-
nue. decorating firms has made a con-
cession to the woman who lives in a
bed-sitting room, though naturally It's
patrons are not OF the kind who live IN
woman alone. The fashionable young
woman often likes to convert her sleep
ing room into a sitting room for her
own special use, though she has tho
family drawing room for her moro
formal callers. and as she has only this
apartment, with perhaps q tiny bou-
doir and bath IN her suite, she selects
a bed having head and foot OF the same
size and not very high, extending prob
ably foot or two above the horizontal
part Then she has two rolls or two
sets OF cushions, one for each end, and
this piece of furniture takes on the ap-
pearance OF a couch rather than a reg
ulation bed. 1t is a scheme to get
away from the sleeping apartment look
which one tries to avoid In any room
except one that is used for that purpose
and none other. Old fashioned beds
were sometimes made in this style.

same height, and women who have run
across them have bought them with a
view to their future use as couches.

IL becomes q plain and homely object
one quite es useful, however. as the bit
OF garden truck in which the princess
rode.
There are dozens OF patented folding
couches, more or less attractive and
saving Of space, but the modern woman
has a very genuine prejudice against
this kind OF sleeping apartment, and
she would rather have her little sitting
room proclaim its dual role than run
the risk of having apparatus that gets
out of gear or that is not wholly sani-
tary. The ideal arrangement whereby

SO there is plenty OF space for moving
around seems to be the one where a
spring is touched and the bed is lifted
up into the wall. and another spring
Is touched to let It down again. Such
have been installed In apartments, OF
other cities, but the San Francisco
woman has not taken them into her
general furnishing scheme as yet.
IN the selection OF covers for divans
and couches a wide choice is offered:
there are weights ranging from the
light cotton prints which cost a trifing
sum and come IN pleasing patterns and
coioFing, to the temple bagdads, orien-
tai stuffs. lightweight rugs and made
coverings. The colored prints are pre-

of drawers offer plenty of room and the
wide silk or wooden pocket at the bot
tom holds any number of tribes and
keeps them within easy reach. A wide
and long bathroom shelf is another way
to manage the toilet articles. One
woman whose home consisted of room
and bath. the room serving a dual pur-
pose, had plain wooden shelf fastened
along one bathroom wall over the side
of the tub where It was out OF the way
and yet convenient. This she had
enameled white and covered with a
frilled dotted muslin scarf, and upon It
she arranged everything she required
In dressing. There is this difficulty
about keeping silver toilet articles in
the bathroom-they tarnish quickly.
but 1t is easier TO clean them often and
to have them arranged neatly and con-
veniently than to be compelled to waste
time In hunting each one as 1t is
needed
The woman who lives in small quar-
! ters makes the most of her shelves,
and she usually owns moro than one
series Of them. A shelf extending
around all four sides of the sitting
room offers a resting place for the
many little knick- -knacks. books and
pictures with which every woman is
burdened, moro or less agreeably. The
shelf need not surround the room,
three or even two walls offering a
wealth of space. 1t costs only a few
dollars to have a carpenter make and
put the shelves in position and they
are well worth the money and the trou-
BILE they cost.
