BLIND FROM WOOD ALCOHOL
Numerous Instances Have Put Even
the Household Paregoric Under
Suspicion. H..

Since January there have been
more than sixty deaths and cases of
blindness caused by wood alcohol.
Realizing that this blindness is pre-.
ventable, the New York committee
for the prevention Of blindness is in.
vestigating every channel and source
where the poison Is sold and push
ing its efforts toward effective legis.
lation. The board of health is like
wise on the trail of these offenders,
for the law says plainly that all wood
alcohol shall be labeled poison"
There are fewer than 1000 firms
in the United States which prepare
BARRIERS supplies, and according to
investigation 80 per cent are using
wood alcohol, The State pharma-
eeutieal association and the labor
unions all are trying TO help the
process of education, protecting the
innocent purchaser from his own ig.
norance.
In New Jersey recently man
selling eordials filed with wood al.
cohol was sentenced TO ten years in
the Atlanta penitentiary. This i:

that THE Star -Spangled Banner"
which is now our National Hymn.

and suggests that vey fitting way
OF celebrating the centennial ami

have this hymn sung in all the schools
of the United States, public and pri-
vate, at noon on September 1Ith of
this year.
Acting upon this suggestion and the
recommendation of superintendent j.
Bray, the children of the Gardneryiile
school will sing this grand old song
next Tuesday noon and the public is
invited to gather at the school house.
