Medical Society on
Taking Care Of Eyes.
Organization Of Physicians IN District Suggest
Ways for Public to Follow in Order to
Retain Good Eyesfght.

Ths following h contributed by the
11edical 0ooisty Of the District OF Co
lumbia. and prepared By . member:
There 10 . grave misunderstanding of
many Of the Mmplo. truths regarding the
public health. fostersd by the press and
many vendors OF drugs, foods and appli-
ancss. The. only solution Of the problem
u the public presentation Of tho real
fscts, that tho people with their unfail-
Ing inteliigence may do that which is
right.
RaEarding tho care Of the eyes. from the
broader standpoint this means first the
children's eyes. For the betterment OF
ths human race It Il essential that the
children. who will in q few years be in
charge of the nation. be given the best
possible training and care. The health.
the education. and the resultant earning
capaeity and value as citizens, OF the
children, is teopardized in many instances
by the inattention Of parents and teach
ers to obvious facts.
Do you know that from one-fourth to
one-third Of the blind owe their condi-
ton to the neglect of physician or mid
wife to instil one drop Of medicine In
each eye Of the child at its birth. A sim
pie precaution. but with what frightful
results 10 its neglect fraught! How appli-

good'' to the treatment necessary during
a mothers confinement. that time when
lack Of attention to details may cause un-
told future misery to herself or to her
child. Mldwives.- though licensed by the
authorities. as they are in the District
of Columbia, are at best but ignorant per-
sons having little or no knowledge of
the simplest medical truths. They are
unprepared to handle emergencies, and
the children pay the penalty.
A systematic study Of the defective
school children in New York city proved
that a very large percentage of them
owed their backwardness in study to the
need Of glasses. Many children called
stupid" do not see well. and can be
cured or at least greatly helped by atten-
ton to their eyes.
II the act Of reading is an undue effort
to the child, It will manifest itself by
some one Of the usual symptoms. which
are easily seen. There is often a crust
ing Of the lids along the line of the
iashes: a twitching of the eyes: partly
closing the lids to help the sight: frown-
ing: redeemed eyes: holding the book too
near: the flow Of tears when reading. A
child may complain Of blur or of weari-
ness or heaviness. after reading a few
minutes: or of eye o<head aches which
are apt to be increased by studying

moisture in grain 50 there is no later
trouble from heating in bin or ele-

what it should be, commands a
premium upon the market where

\ Buckeye grain grower from
Dunkirk, Ohio reports in the July
lSt issue Of the missouri Valley
Farmer that he has known grain
buyers to make Il marked difference
in the price OF threshed grain from
the stack over that threshed from
the shock. Last year grain buyers
in his district paid five cents per
bushel premium for stack threshed
oats owe shock threShed oats. This
was caused 10y a wet period ensuing
Immediately after grain cutting.
and much grain was seriously in
iured in shock.
The writer believes that the West
can and should produce the finest
quality Of milling, seed and feed
grains, and would urge We preserve
to our w credit and value, this
asset for good grain culture which

Let Us therefore run no

BIG GRADING
CONTRACT LET
Minot Will Soon Have Some
Magnificent City Streets
Other Improvements.

Minot. N. D.. Oct. 24.-rhe cor.
tract for grading Harrison avenue
from Ward street to North Seventh
avenue. was let to Benjamin McDon-
aid by the city commissioners yes
terday evening. McDonald's bid was
the only one submitted and amounts
ed to ~$11.215.15.
Mcdonald will start work tomor-
row and all that will be done this fall
will be to fill III the big draw be-
tween Mill street and Lake street and
the smaller draw near the east end
OF, Lake street. These fills represent
the greater part of the contract and
the street department IL anxious to
have this much of the contract COM
pleted this fall in order that they may
be given plenty Of opportunity to set
tie before work is begun again next
summer.
When the grading Of this street ID
completed next summer Harrison ave.
nue. will be M Of the finest avenues
in the city. The contract calls for
grading. travelling. surfacing, etc., to-
gether with the laying of curbing and
cutters: It will be the longest graded
street in the city and will probably
avenue next fall. which would extend
to the north hill and would thus pro-
vide an elegant street for farmers
hauling grain to Minot. This Is the
irst street to be graded in Hendricks
sons addition and under present con-
ditions it is very difficult for residents
Of this section Of the city to get from
their homes to the business portion
in rainy weather. without travelling
through more OF less mud and water.
When finished the street will I'M
doubtedly be n of the finest in the
city.
