NEW YORK IDEAL PLACE

LederIe's Report on Welfare

ably Commented On.
PURE MILK A BIG FACTOR
Paul E. Taylor Pleased with Rec
ord Low Death Rate-20,000
Women to Aid 1913 Work,
Says Mrs. Heath.

This city attained its lowest death rate
in the year 1872, so Health Commissioner
Lederle explained yesterday in The Trib-
une. and the health official told how he
hoped to improve on that rocrd during
the year 1918. The personal expression
OF the Health Commissioner attracted
attention in many quarters. Dr. Ledere
said that an excellent idea of the sani-
tary condition of the city could be OBJ
talned from the percentage mortality of
children under one year old: that the
infant mortality rate last year COM
pared Uore than favorably with the in
FAINT death rate In some of the largest
European cities. The sanitary control
Of the milk supply, he thought. was the
most important accomplishment of the
year.
Paul T.. Taylor. OF the New York Milk
Committee, commented on what the Com
missioner had said
This is now one Of the safest cites
In the world for baby to be born in,
said Mr.. TAYLOR. 1T il safer than Bos-
ton or Philadelphia. and twice as safe as
Albany a baby born here now has Just
as good chance Of living as one born
IN Rochester. and Rochester has been
considered the model city"
MIR. Taylor said the baby showing IN
1912 was most remarkable. and it was
due to the work of the Department OF
Health and private agencies in carrying
out ? systematic programme of child
welfare work. The New York Milk Com
mittee. Mr. Taylor explained. believed
that Iure milk was one of the most i'm
portant elements in reducing the infant
death rate. and commended the Depart
mcnt Of Health for its efforts To bring
about a better supply in this city, but
education was also Of the utmost inn

Genuine greenheart has the reputation
of being the most resistant wood to the
attack of marine borers and to decay.
Borers are especially bad in tropical
waters. The wood is, in addition, hard,
heavy and durable, and not subject to
damage from impact and wear. In
disputable records show that the best
grades of this wood surpass iron and
steel as to lasting qualities in contact
with salt water. 1t has been known and
used since 1863. Logs have remained
intact under water for 100 years. Lock
gates in English canals have been made
of it for years, and the only limit OF
their durability so far has been the
length of service of their iron bolts and
fastenings, which usually can be renew
ed without much trouble. Greenheart
in Liverpool lock gates built in 1856,
removed to allow a deepening and
widening of the ship channel in 1894,
was used over again when the gates
were reconstructed. The sills and fen
ders of the lock gates at Panama will
be made Of greenheart, and much Of the
docks will be constructed of the same
material.

etc, etc. which will determine the
soundness of the bank currency in cir
culation, in which case the doubts thus
created will react in moments of finan-
cial crisis on the banks of emission
themselves, thus aggmvating the con.
dition Of the industrial markets.
"ln fact, the grand studios which
have been made by the United States
upon the currency question have up to
the present moment resulted only in
grand confusion and the United States
has failed to have the courage shown
by another sister republic-that Of
Switzerland, which also had several
banks ofemission, in different cantons
as at Geneva and elsewhere, and which,
after many quiet Investigations, with
the usual Swiss way of doing things,
finished with instituting single cen
tral bank of state. This approaches to
the highest type of the German Empire,
which holding onto the vital forces of
the old institutions, enjoys a happy aut.
onomy, succeeds in guaranteeing per.
fectly its bank notes, and above all
solves the national circulation instead
of making the national circulation serve
it, thus improving the exchange with
foreign countries and diminishing the
outflow Of the metal currency.
However, one cannot lose hope that
President Wilson, who, succeeded in
obtaining his tariff reform will succeed
also in securing sound and healthy prin.
cipes in the control and issuance of the

Nansen's ship, the Fran, and the
antarctic vessels, Discovery, used by one
of the Scott expeditions, and the Gauss,
used by Drygalski, were all planked

in part, to the presence of an alkaloid,

HOW YOU MAY THROW

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not real
ly need them. If you are one of these
unfortunates, then these glasses may be
running your eyes instead Of helping
them. Thousands who wear these "win-
dows" may prove for themselves that
they can dispense with glasses if they
will get the following prescription fill
ed at once. Go to any active drug
store and get a bottle of Optoma, fill
a two-ounce bottle with water and drop
in one 0ptoma tablet. With this harm.
less liquid solution bathe the eyes two
to four times daily and you are like
ly to be astonished at the results right
from the start. Many who have been
told that they have astigmatism, eye
strain, cataract, sore eye-lids, weak
eyes, conjunctives and other eye dis.
orders, report wonderful benefits from
the use of this free prescription. Get
this prescription filled and use it; you
may so strengthen your eyes that glass,
es will not be necessary. Thousands
who are blind or nearly so, or who wear
glasses would never have required them
if they had cared for their eyes in time.
Save your eyes before it is too late!
Do not become one of these victims
of neglect. Eyeglasses are only like
crutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the ever-increas-
ing weakened condition, so better see
if you can, like many others, get clear,
healthy, strong magnetic eyes through
the prescription here given.
