| I,a industria de. alcohol es
ortantfsima; es un produc
to secundario que tiene gran
valor como combustible
Cual es la causa de la desapa-
rlci6n de esta industria? La
fabrication de sombreros de
paJas ha lido en- aumento des-
de 1901 siendo el valor mini
mo de la exportacion de es-
te artlculo de 40,892. dollars
en- Ell expresado ano llegando
q 1872, 99l dollars en- 1907 y q
lbE,476 en- 1908.
La exportacion de mieles
que en- 1901 aicanzo un valor
de, 595,902 dollars y lego en-
1903 a 664,570 descendio a
267.1S4 dollars en- 1908.
La exportaci6n del tabaco
en- rama que 1901 tenfa un
valor de 349,O26 dollars ha
aumentado hasta la importan-
te cifra 1.635,579 dollars; !;
y Ia exportacion del tabaco
elaborado aumento desde
306.115 dollars en- 1901 q
3.414, l40 dollas en- 1908.
Vemos pues que en- el pc
rlodo de 1901 q 1908 nuestra
agriculture Sc ha enriquecido
con tres cultivos nuevos, el
algod6n, las naranjas y la pi-
fla; que ha adquirido impor-
tancia la exportacion de CO.
COS; y que la production de
azdcar, tabaco y cafe ha au-
mentado considerablemente
En- cambio hemos abando-
nado dos industries impor-
tantes: la cria de ganado va
cuno y caballar y la fabrica-
ci6n de alcohol
Hay adn muchas indus
trias y cultivos que podrfan
en- nuestra isla,
y seria de desear que las es-
taciones agron6micas que hay
en- la isla prestaran q la agri-
cultura ell mismo decidido
apoyo que en- los Estados
Unidos, contribuyendo a la
mejora de nuestros cultivos y
4 la implantacion de otros
nuevos.

One- Third OF the Cases of
Blindness Can be Pre-.

Newborn Infants and Save
Loss of Eyesieht.

To guard newborn infants against
that terrible misfortune, blindness,
State Health Commissioner Dixon has
revived state law passed some years
ago for just this object, but never en-
forced to any extent This law, passed
June &c, 1895, is entitled "An act for
the prevention of blindness, imposing
a duty upon all midwives, nurses or
other persons having the care of in
fants, and also upon the health officer,
and fixing penalty for neglect there
Of"
DR.. Dixon declared today that if the
provisions of this law are carried out
there is reason to hope that one-third
of the cases of blindness which so
greatly diminishes the productive
value of the individual and too often
renders him a burden on society may
be prevented"
Letter to Physicians.
To ten thousand physicians through
out Pennsylvania Health Commission
er Dixon is sending the following let
ter:
you are probably aware of the fact
that the American Medical association
at its last annual meeting authorized
the issue of the report of the commit
tee on ophthalmia neonatorum, which
forcibly called attention to the fact
that very large percentage of the
cases of blindness which the state is
called upon to support is caused by
for organized and concerted effort on
the part Of the profession in all of the
states of the Union to diminish this
evil. That this appeal is most timely is
sufficiently indicated by a recent re-
port from the Pennsylvania School for
the Blind, which shows that in the
past eight years more than one-third
of the persons admitted to that insti
tuition have owed their afTliction to
this cause.
This department has. therefore
thought it desirable to revive q law
which has for many years lain dor
mant on our statute books, and a copy
OF which is herewith enclosed
"Inasmuch, however, as I doubt the
wisdom of entrusting the treatment Of
so delicate an organ as the eye to un-
skilled hands, | have appended to the
law instructions making it the duty
of the health officer to urge those in
charge to secure the services of a ply
sician at the earliest possible moment
after the discovery of the disease, and
have suggested harmless cleansing
solution to be used until such time as
the physician could arrive and initiate
the active treatment for which the
nitrate of silver or some other silver
salt will probably be deemed most eff
fective. May I hope for your assist
ance in carrying out this plan for di-
minishins a fertile cause of misery
and disability"

instructions to Health officers.


The state department Of health has
sent to each Of it's $50 township health
officers full instructions as to their
duty under the law These instructions
are as follows:
"In order to carry out the provisions
of the above law it becomes your duty
to acquaint yourself with the names
and addresses of all midwives and
nurses residing or practicing in your
district. and to place a copy Of the law
in the hands of each. instructing her
as to it's requirements
Immediately on receiving notifica-
tion from a midwife or nurse of the
occurrence of a case of red or swollen
eyes in young infant you will inform
the attending physician of the fact
and will place in the hands of the mid
wife or nurse the accompanying in.
structiOns, explaining that she is to
follow them only until physician ar
rives to take charge of the case If no
physician has been employed. you will
urge upon the family the necessity for
obtaining one. as otherwise the child
may become permanently blind"
Here is the prescription given for
treating innamed eyes in newborn in.

"To one pint of boiled water add two
teaspoonruls OF borc acid and half
teaspoonful Of table salt and keep Gov
cred in jar which has been boiled
With a perfectly clean cloth or a wad
Of absorbent cotton battle the lids with
this solution and drop n few drops in
the eye three times a day"
State Health Commissioner Dixon
has also requested the departments
medical inspector in every county in
the state to assist the health officers
in the discharge of the duty assigned
them. A letter has also been written
to the secretary of every city, borough
and first class township board of
health in Pennsylvania, calling their
attention to the law and urging that
these boards adopt such measures as
will lead to its early enforcement in
the municipality under the local
boards jurisdiction. The wording Of
the act of June &c, 1895, is as follows:
The Law.
"Whereas Statistics compiled in this
country and Europe demonstrate that
fully 25 per centum of the blind owe
