OF THE CONVENTIONS OF w.

The Spokane city council last
night went on record against the
settlers along Lake Occur d'Alene
and in favor of the Washington
Water Power Co. in the flooded
lands dispute A resolution, believ-
ed TO have been drawn by Frank T.
Post, attorney for the power COM
pany who was present was intro

unanimously adopted, calling upon
Secretary Ballinger of the Interior
department to permit the w. w. p.
to continue to overflow the lands
for the purpose of storing water. as
II has done in the past since the
Post Falls dam was built.
The petition recites that the
power TO operate the water system
of Spokane is seriously menaced if
the bear trap dam is ordered re-
moved. for ii asserts that fully 30
per cent of the power of the city
dam will be lost. 1t is also asserted
that this plan of storing water is
along the approved lines of the con-
servation of natural resources. in
which a vast benefit is derived by
a great number of people.

two weeks old. was brought to the
home and left by a Young woman
who never could be located after
wards. The child was almost to-
tally blind. For weeks it suffered
with the terrible affliction and later
with medical aid the eyesight was
restored, but only temporarily"
Still there is no law here requir-
ing the nurses to pass an eXamina-
ton as to their ability and knowl-
edge, but with a certificate from
any physician, they may be intrust-
ed with the care and treatment of
the new born babe, who may
through their ignorance be doomed
to life of utter darkness.
Not only in America, but through
out the entire world, this awful
plague occurs, and no country has
yet succeeded in getting it under
control. In Mexico it is the COM
mon cause of blindness, and that
country contains at least $500 vic
Tins; in the New York state school
for the blind. over 80 per cent of
the children admitted in 1907 were
victims of this plague; at the Penn
sylvania state school the average
was even higher-44 per cent.
Every city in America, every year.
adds its quota of blind babies to a
beautiful world that they will never
see.
DR.. sydney Stephenson, a promi-
nent opthalmic surgeon of London,
says: in the opinion of those we'll
qualified to Judge, ophthalmia neo-
natorum is the cause of more blind
ness than any other local disease.
1t has been proved that in 90 cases
out of 100 this disease is prevent
able, and it may be prevented more
over by the use of a few simple
precautions
Ophthalmia neonatorum is an in
fictitious, communicable disease, and
develops as a result of infective ma
terial entering the childs eye at the
time of birth, when inflammation
of the delicate membranes speedily
follows, to end if not treated, in
the complete ruin of the sight. AL
though the name of the disease
may not be familiar, few have not
seen babies suffering with it, their
eyes swollen and somewhat pro
truding, the lids puffy, emitting a
discharge of pus from between
their margins.
Ignorant. careless midwives are
responsible for the majority of
cases of this needless blindness
They fail to recognize the disease,
and if they do. many resort to home
made eye washes, poultices, raw
potatoes, anything and everything
but a germicide to destroy the in
lection.
1t is urged that every state
should have law or every city an
ordinance making ii compulsory for
midwives to withstand an examina-
ton and take out an annual license
1t is believed that this will soon
result in placing midwifery in the
hands of a more responsible class
of women and bring them in closer |
touch with modern medical meth |
DDS through the health depart
ments. The law should compel a |
report of birth in 10 days, and the
report should show that il the
child's eyes have not been treated
Tor ophthalmia neonatorum, why
not.

LEG; WAS WOODEN
(By United Press Leased Wire)

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 49,
Michael kinsel is highly indignant
today because his wife burned his
wooden leg and Alderman Donohue
refused even to reprimand her
When she was arrested and
brought before him.
Mrs. Kinsel declared to the alder
man that despite her entreaties
and prayers, he insisted upon
regular Saturday night pilgrim
ages to the. liquor dispensary in the
vicinity of his home. In despera.
ton she secured his wooden leg
while he slept and used it for fut/
to prepare the morning meal. She
argued that his artificial propeller
was as much here as his.
Alderman Donohue refused to re-
prove Mrs. kinsel for her action.
On the contrary, he commended
her, and dismissed the case.

her.

ROME, April 13.--It was Rev. Tip-
pie, pastor of the American Method
list church in Rome, who declared
that the pope's refusal to see Col.
Theo. Roosevelt except on the con-
dltion that the colonel refuse to
see the Methodists was "a bitter
dose for patriotic Catholics in
America to swallow and ought to
make. them rise to crush Cathol-
icism. This statement so angered
Roosevelt that he called off the
reception which was to have been
given him at the American en-
bassy.
Rev. Triple is not the director of
the Methodist work in Italy. He is
simply pastor of one of the church
es at Rome. He was transferred
from a New York charge six
months ago. The usual term for
pastor in the American church is
a year.
