tack of coughing, especially during
whooping-cough or some like irritation
to the general nervous system, brings
on the attack, and is considered by
the child's mother to be the cause
This Is incorrect. When the eye Is
turned it will not look directly at the
object at which the other eye Is look
ing, and doubling of the vision is the
result. This doubled vision" is very
annoying, as any one may judge for
himself by slightly pressing one eye
out of position with the fingers. In
order to escape this annoyance the
child unconsciously stops using the
eye that is turned in, and this. in time,
leads to changes in the nerve tissues
which makes the child's sight defective
in that eye. Formerly many physi-
clans advised parents to wait until the
child grew older before having any
thing done to the eye. feeling that an
operation was the only thing to relieve
the condition, or that the child might
"ohtgrow it." This, in the light of our
present knowledge, is bad advice. BY
the time the child gets to be to 10
years old the sight in the eye is defec-
tive from disuse, and cannot be re-
stored, and this failure of vision has
usually occurred even though the eye
has Strengthened itself spontaneously.
1t is very important, therefore, not to
allow the child to stop using the
squirting or turning eye. 1t is not al
ways necessary to operate. Usually
glasses have to be worn to stop the
strain, and there are other forms of
treatment which the many times ef-

eye continues to turn, an operation
may have to be done to keep the eye
straight and to save the sight in that
eye. But not more than half, perhaps
even less, will require operation.

Effect Of Dago Franks Confession?

New York, May 2.-District Attor-
ney Whitman and his aids have prac-
tically completed their end of the
preparations for the second trial of
Charles Becker former police lieuten-
ant, on charges of instigating the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, for
which the four gunmen were recently
executed in Sing Sing. The District
Attorney will be ready for the trial
to proceed next Monday, which is the
tentative date fixed by Justice Sea.
bury of the supreme court. If there
is an postponement when the case is
called it will be on motion of counsel
for the defense.
The principal work of the District
Attorneys office in preparing for the
new trial has been in the rounding up
of the witnesses Since the first trial,
which took place year ago last fall,
the witnesses for the state, or the
most of them, have rorsaken their old
haunts in the metropolis, and some
of them have taken up permanent res
idence outside the city and state. AS
soon as the supreme court granted
Becker a new trial Mr.. Whitman went
to work to place himself in communi-
cation with those who had testified
for the prosecution at the first trial.
Within the past two months he has
had assurances from each of them,
either in person or by letter, that they
will be on hand ready to testify when
the case is called for the second time
1t is known that the District Attor-
ney feels that he has the states case
in good shape. The general supposi-
tion is that Mr.. Whitman will rest his
case upon the testimony Of Rose.
Weber and Vallon. In that respect
the case will resemble the one which
was reversed by the higher court. But
the testimony in corroboration, 1t is
said, will be almost entirely new.
Main Witnesses Same az Before.
Jack Rose, "Bridgie" Weber, Harry
vallon and Sam Schepps were the
principal witnesses for the state at
the first trial. They are the four in
formers who testified to having con-
Quoted the negotiations between
Becker and the gunner and to have
been otherwise concerned in the pre-
liminaries of the plot that ended in
the murder of Rosenthal.
The testimony Of Schepps was not
Of an entirely satisfactory character
and was freely criticised in the de-
cision Of the court of appeals. For
this reason, and also because Schepps
has talked so freely and told so many
contradictory and highly sensational
tales since Becker's first conviction,

A not unimportant detail of the work
to the boys themselves is the money
which they are enabled to earn by mar
keting their product. They also come
to realize sooner or later that farm
life has its interesting side. and that
success in the farming business is well
worth while.
Any boy between the ages of 10 and
is years may become a member of
pig club. Each boy must secure at
least one pig if he becomes a member.
Each member must care for his stock
in person and keep a record of his pig
for at least four months in order to
compete for prize. The members of
the club must agree to study the In

out for the benefit of the hog raisers.
The new bulletin outlines a plan of
organization for the boys pig club,

department in cooperation with the
various state colleges.

Rose, Weber and Vallon are counted
upon to take the stand and repeat the
testimony they offered at the first
trial.
There is much speculation in and
out of legal circles as to the part that
"Dago Franks" confession, made
within less than two hours of his
death, will pay in the second trial of
Becker The friends of the former
police lieutenant hold that the confes-
sion If admitted will amount to an
exculpation Of Becker as the instiga-
tor of the Rosenthal murder, and fur.
thermore they declare that 1t shows
the worthlessnesss of the testimony
given by Rose, Weber, Vallon and
Schepps. On the other hand. District
Attorney Whitman does not consider
the confession as vital to the case,
either from the standpoint of the de-
Tense or the prosecution. In the opin-
ion OF the District Attorney the con-
fession in many ways corroborates
the contention of the state-that there
was a conspiracy, and that as result
Of that conspiracy the gunmen were
hired to murder Rosenthal a week ~,
advance of the assassination.
viii Becker Take Stand?
The second interesting point in con-
nection with the new trial is the prob
ability that Becker will take the stand
in his own defense. 1t Is said that
the ex-police officer strongly desired
to take the stand at the first trial but
was dissuaded from doing so by his
counsel. If he takes the stand at the
coming trial he will be subjected to a
severe cross-examination. He will be
asked in particular to explain how he
managed to accumulate a large for
tune on salary of s2,400 year. At
the first trial it was said the District
Attorney had traced some $4,000 in
Becker's accounts scattered in banks
all over the city. If Becker takes the
stand it will open the way for the
state to introduce evidence to prove
that Becker had made business Of
shaking down" the gamblers and that
it was this which had led to his per-
sonal difficulties with Rosenthal. I'm
der the circumstances the District
Attorney believes that Becker will not
dare take the witness chair.

BOYS URGED BREED GOOD HOGS
BY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The United States Department of
Agriculture is endeavoring to interest
the younger generation on Southern
farms in the breeding of good hogs. 1t
is the object of the department to en-
courage the young men to raise at
least enough pork for home consump-
tion. and If possible, surplus for the
market. Pork can be marketed In
many forms-fresh pork, hams, bacon
and sausage-and can be produced so
rs to sell much cheaper than beef.
A shortage of beef means an increased
demand for pork, and it seems rea-
sonable that there should be ready
demand for the available supply. This
means money in the pockets of the boy
hog raiser.
Some of the points which the depart
ment advises the youthful hog grower
to bear in mind are the following:
1. The feeding and care are as i'm
portant as the breeding in producing a
good hog. Plenty of feed and good
care may make a good hog out Of a
runt, but lack of it will make a runt
out of a good pig.
2. To make pork cheaply a perma.
nent pasture and forage crops must
be used.
8. Young pigs must have a dry bed
and plenty of sunshine.
4. Begin feeding the pig as soon as
he will eat and keep him growing un.
til he is mature.
8. Always keep plenty of clean,
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
6. Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
n Never keep a female for brood
soy, no matter how well bred she may
beb If she will not produce more than
four strong pigs at litter.
I s. The more milk a SOW will give
the faster her pigs will grow.
9. Lice prevent hog from doing
well.
10. Always keep a mixture of char
coal, wood ashes, lime, sulphur, salt
and copperas before the hogs.
These points are emphasized in a
bulletin just issued ~ the bureau OF
animal industry, entitled Boys Pig
Clubs, With Special Reference to Their
Organization in the South" 1t can be
had free by the young farmer by appli-
cation to the department. 1t contains
a number Of illustrations, a design of
q portable hog house, which can be
built easily and cheaply. and design
Of feeding pen for small pigs.
In the pamphlet are some very i'm
portant "don'ts" which should aid the
young farmer in preventing the dan
gerous disease Of hog cholera. Here
are the suggestions:
Do not have hog lots next to high
ways, railroads or streams. II your
neighbor's hogs have cholera do not
allow anyone from his farm to visit
Tour farm. and keep away from your
aeighbor's hog lot, whether his hogs
have cholera or not,
Do not keep pigeons >or allow them
