MAKES BLIND MEN SEE
Baltimore Surgeons Skill Restores
Sight to Two Persons.

Baltimore Surgeons skill Restores
Sight to Two Persons.
Baltimore, Nov. 27.-After he had
been blind for fifteen years. Louis
Haley, forty years old, of 2011 Spruce
street, a tailor, is able to read the
newspapers.
His sight has been restored through
an operation performed at the Frank
lin Square hospital by a prominent
physician of Baltimore At the same
hospital the physician Is restoring his
sight to John Carey, nineteen years
old, who was injured at work about
six months ago when the betting from
a machine slipped from it's bearings
and struck him in the face.
Carey became blind at once, and
physicians expressed the opinion that
he would never see again. He under
went treatment at the Mercy hos pitai
and was later removed TO the Frank
lin Square hospital. He can now see
dimly out of one OF his syes. and 1t Is
thought that in few months ha will
have fully recovered his sight.
The case of Haley Is pathetic. He
was quite young when mis- sighs left
him. He had learned kis trads as a
tailor and slowly cataracts formed
over his eyes Slowly nis sight left
While he was losing his sight he con
tinued at his trade. and even after the
sight was totally gone he continued
at his work Being without means. he
never had the opportunity to consult a
specialist about his eyes.

movement for the. organization of
local sick and accident beneficial
association under the above CAP
ton, to extend only to members
of the I. 0. O. F., of the range.
At a meeting held on Friday even
ing last Chas. c. Olson was elect
ed as president, A. E. Mckenzie
as secretary and treasurer, and
c.. o. Larson, A. G. Mckenzie and
w. f. Hannaford as the first

The bylaws as under considera-
ton will provide for a payment
of $12 per week to member who
is sick or disabled and for a 800

The move is one in the right d.
rection, and we believe should re
ceive the support of the fraternity
to an extent which will insure
its success.

TO secure his reelection, Presi-
dent Taft must recover not less
than sixty electoral votes from
states carried by the Democrats in
1910, without losing any votes in
the Progressive States which then
stayed in the Republican column.
Can he do it? Can he get back
his native state of Ohio? Can he
develop any strength in the states
on the Atlantic coast which left
him last year, without making
corresponding losses in the west?
Not counting his own state,
there are only five states, all on
the Atlantic seabOard, where he
can expect to make any consider
able recovery-M Maine, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, New Jersey
any New York. But there are nin,'

West, where the revolt against the
