The "CIean Sweep" Event.

Twice every year-the first time in
January this paper prints the picture
of broom. 1t will not be found in the
news or editorial matter, but it shows
up conspicuously in an advertisement
can t get by you if you'll look for it.
This picture of the broom actually
means a clean-sweep of the entire
clothing stock of b. Turk Bro. Co. of
Burlington-a stock much larger than
many a dealer in New York or Boston
carries.
Mr.. Richold states that the open win
ter season has caused slow buying in
the clothing line and for this reason
clean-sweep prices have been made
lower than ever-a statement strongly
brought out in the advertisement. The
sale opens Wednesday, January 7, and
early shopping is suggested at this sale
Whether purchase is intended or
not it will be worth while to pay a visit
to this store to convince you of its up
to-dateness and show you how large
retail business is handled. adv.

dreadful effects of one form of ophthal-
mia. If the twelve thousand now sight
less from injury had been employed in
factories where safety devices were in
stalled they would be producers instead
of dependents. Granular lids or ira
choma is amendable to treatment, yet
twenty-five hundred persons were al
lowed to become blind from this cause.
1t must be happy thought to all of
us to know that the past two years has
shown a marked diminution in the num-
Der of injuries from Fourth of July
accidents. The use of wood alcohol,
working in rooms where it is used or
drinking ''power-house whisky" or
some of the various soft drinks contain
ing wood alcohol has caused large
number of persons to become totally
blind. There will always be certain
number of cases of blindness, which
cannot be avoided, but it is appalling to
think that the sight of thirty thousand
of those now blind could have been pre-
served.
How shall we limit blindness in the
future? By insisting that our chldren's
eyes shall have proper care. By COM
polling our factories to install safety
devices. BY medical inspection of
schools. The child sitting next to your
child may have oiphtheria and convey
it to your child's eyes. By demanding
a safe and sane Fourth of July in your
own town. BY abolishing the roller
towel and by establishing such other
hygienic measures as will tend to keep
US healthy and free from disease. Bur

What Makes People Blird7

Did you ever stop to think of the one
hundred thousand blind people in the
United States, and what caused their
misfortune? Did it ever occur to you
that about thirty thousand of these
unfortunateS are unneces sarily blind?
DO you know that about twelve thou
sand of these are children who are
blind because of the unfaithfulness of
either the father or the mother? Are
you aware that twelve thousand people
are cropping their way about in dark
ness due to injuries which in most in
stances could have been avoided by
the installation in factories of proper
devices?
These questions are asked by the
Journal of the American Medical asso-
citation, which also answers them. The
journal says that twenty-five hundred
blind are deprived from livelihood be-
cause of granular lids which is pre-
ventable by the application of proper
remedies. Two thousand are deprived
of their sight because of Fourth of July
accidents. Fifteen hundred will never
again see the light of day because of
various causes, such as the drinking or
absorbing of wood alcohol and the
neglect of proper treatment of certain
eye affections. If we look at these
figures calmly, they are amazing. We
can hardly believe that thirty thousand
human beings are shut out from earning
livelihood, who might now be en-
ployed, self-supporting and productive
of several million dollars worth of
labor, if preventive measures had been
employed in their cases. We are a
long-suffering people, but how much
longer must we keep our eyes closed to
the fact that if the doctor or midwife
had dropped l per cent. solution of
nitrate of silver into the eyes of the
newborn babe, six thousand pairs of
eyes would have been saved from the

Down in Maine they are going to
make an experiment of raising beef
cattle. 1t is argued that the dis
appearance of free ranches in the West
and the nearness to the markets which
the Maine farmers enjoy will bring
success to the enterprise, as these
factors will put the East on an even
footing with the West There is no
doubt that the country wants more
meat; and if the Maine venture proves
a success it may be confidently ex-
pected that other New England states
will follow suit.

One of the saddest casualties of the
year 1918 in Vermont was the death by
burning of the two infant children in
their home in West Derby. They
were locked in the house for safety
during the absence of the mother at
the noon hour. while she was carrying
a warm dinner to the father, who was
at work in the factory. 1t is easy to
theorize as to the danger of leaving
unattended babies in house, but the
very thing is done perforce, times with
out number, for the great majority of
families are so situated that children
must occasionally be left thus unat-
tended. However, the lesson is a ter
rible one as to the danger of the prac-
tice, where fire of any sort, or the
means with which to start a blaze, is
left in the house with the children. -

Why Good Men Quit

An efficiency limitation of quite a different type from that imposed
by the inadequate and dangerous quarters occupied by the United States
oeoloeical survey is presented, according to the annual report of the d-
rector, recently made to Secretary Lane, in the restrictions placed in one
way n another upon the selection of personnel, says Mining Science.
Under "lump-sum' appropriations there is a fair opportunity to obtain
hieh-orade service in the scientific and technical positions, yet even here
the restraining influence of precedent prevents attaching to the higher
positions salaries that are more than a fraction of those which the we'll
trained specialists best fitted for those positions can obtain for similar
work in the service of corporations.
This condition has resulted in many of the members OF the geo
logical survey leaving government service at the time when they have
become most valuable as public servants. Thus IN the tour and one
half years ending with January, 1913, the number OF biologists who
left the government service for the primary purpose of lettering their
financial condition was fortyone, and these men are known to have re-
ceived salaries outside of the public service amounting to a average
immediate advance Of I4o per cent, or practically two and one-half
times the salaries paid them by the geological survey. The only opi-
mistic view to take of this condition, whereby some of the better men
are constantly resignng in every branch of the bureau, is to count this
loss to the survey as one measure of the educational contribution that the
public service is making to the worlds work.

Nj. D., Chicago, m.-Will you
kindly give reliable information
about the Great send mine, which is
situated at Diamondfield, and the
New Jersey Mines company's claims
also situated in the Diamondfield
district, as to the amount of develop
ment work don on the properties
and the prospect they have of max
ing paying mines In the near future.
Answer-Lessees are now operat-
ing on the Great Bend property and
have erected a small mill to treat
the ore they are extracting, which
is said to be of good average milling
grade. A considerable amount OF
work has been done on this property,
but it cannot be said to have been
thoroughly prospected, even on n
upper levels. Small quantities OF
rich ore have been found and large
bodies of material that has been OF
too low a grade to pay the heavy
transportation charges to smelling
points. There are large quantities OF
ore of this character that can be
treated p%rofitably on the ground and
it is believed here that with further
development the Great Bend porperty
has an excellent chance to become a
productive and profitable mine. The
New Jersey Mines company's claims
are not in the Diamondfield part OF
the district. It's Excelsior group is
situated in the eastern central part OF
the district, neal the main road to
Wild Horse Springs, and the other
claims, owned by tho Goldfield I'M
porial company and held by the New
Jersey Mines company under a Ions
term lease, are situated just east
of and adjoining the Blue Bull prop
erty. Manager Ernest has sunk
shafts on both these properties, that
on the Excelsior group being owe
400 feet deep and that IN the Impe-
rial over $50 feet. In sinking and
drifting on the Excelsior property
a strong vein has been penetrated
and boulders of mineraliZed quartz
have been found that yield assays of
