dispense with glasses if they will get the
following prescription filled at once: Go to
any active drug store and get a bottle of

and drop in one DIPLOMA tablet. With this
harmless liquid solution battle the eyes two
to four times daily. and you likely to be

How a Baby Lost $4,000.

In the May Woman's Home Compan-
ion appears very interesting article
entitled, THE Safeguarding of the
Child" by Julia G. Lathrop, chief of
the ehildren's bureau in the United
States department OF labor. In the
course of the article Miss Lathrop
shoEs the Importance of the registra
ton OF births. She makes the point
that thousands of children's lives could
be saved if in the first few hours of
life they could have proper attention.
She also proves that in the United
States no proper records are kept of
births. In the following extract from
her article she tells the story OF a case
where the failure to register the birth
OF child cost the mother dearly:
The Importance of birth record is
very well illustrated by the case, re-
Gently brought to the attention of the
children's bureau, of young Swiss inn
migrant who, coming to this country
and settling in Indiana, was killed,
leaving widow and infant child. The
mother. in dire poverty, had trouble to
keep herself and baby alive by scrub
bling and sewing. One day there came
to her an official letter FROM the govern
ment Of Switzerland, stating that her
late husbands brother had left twelve
thousand dollars to this child All that
was demanded was proof of identity.
with the customary birth certificate, But
there was no such certificate, and the
much-needed money was lost.
Another instance of the kind, like
wise in Indiana, had to do with farm
which was left to girl by her grand
father. Being twenty years OF age,
she was entitled to the property. But
a dispute arose Her father. who had
the use of the farm during her minority,
claimed that she was only nineteen.
There was no birth certificate to prove
her age. But, happily, neighbor re-
membered that valuable COW belonging
to the grandfather had given birth 20
a calf on the same day that the girl was
born. The birth of the calf had been
duly recorded, and, this evidence being
accepted by the court, the young woman
obtained possession OF her farm

WILLIAMSBURG
Small Town Meeting Votes 10 Cent Ad-
ditional School Tax.

Various comment is heard on the re.
suit of the very thinly attended special
town meeting held May in the town
hall. By vote of 10 to IL this meeting
voted an addition of 10 cents on dollar
of the grand list TO the amount voted at
the regular March meeting, for the sup
port of the schools, making a total for
! this purpose of 80 cents. There are
those who approve this action and 9TH
ers who declare that all the directors
asked for was five cents on the dollar
more, and who did not attend the meet
| ing, thinking that only the five cents
would be voted. There are others who
claim that the meeting was not legally
warned, inasmuch as neither the posted
warnings nor the published notices were
dated. 1t is quite possible that another
meeting will be called to reconsider the
action taken at this one. If this be done
the scribe will guarantee that more than
80 persons will be present.
Mrs. Kate Freeman and two daugh-
trs, Grace and Louise. returned Satur

Won $1,000 Gambling at Palm Beach.

In the April American Magazine Hugh
S. Fullerton, describing gambling at the
Beach club at Palm Beach, writes in
part as follows:
"The play at the Beach club is worth
studying, being so unlike the usual gam
ing. 1t is sure thing for the house,
yet the most dangerous kind, the kind
where the winnings of month may be
swept away in an hour. The reckless
ness Of these spendthrifts who know
nothing OF money values makes them
dangerous to the house. They do not
play skillfully, place their bets regard
less Of accepted rules, and destroy all
the laws of averages. have seen a
few play, or attempt to play, abortiye
systems, and one or two try systems
learned from a book but the majority
ignore entirely the laws of mathemati-
cal progression upon which systems are
founded. The nominal limit at the club
is 81 900 on a color, although this limit
may be raised indefinitely by a simple
request, and it is not recorded that the
proprietors ever refused to permit a
plunger to dive as high as he pleased =
provided he could afford it. The danger
to the bank is that some wild player
viii stumble upon run of luck, or drop
disproportionate bet upon a single
winning number. Many of them play
the long shots steadily and, of course,
occasionally someone wins large
amount in hurry. / once saw young
fellow put $40 in checks on number five,
get $3.50 for it, put $3.50 of that on the
odd, S25 on each of the corners round
the five, and $40 on the five which re-
peated. He placed pile of checks on
each number in the first IL except the
five, played the first IL to win and
stacked huge bunch on the red. In
three rolls of the wheel he had won
nearly $4,000. An hour later he quit
about $500 winner.
"These winnings are not regretted
much by such clubs / saw one case of
how such killings affect the Beach club.
A young Fall River fellow had been
playing regularly each evening and los
ing almost as regularly-how much ]
do not know, but it ran into thousands.
One evening he had just such a run of
luck as l have described, and, as nearly
as | could tell, he took about $4,000 out
of the possibly more, but not
much. Before he reached the Breakers,
where he was stopping, the sum of his
winnings, according to corridor gossip,
was trebled. In the grill, where he was
buying wine an hour later, the state
ment was made he had won S35,000 BY
midnight it was reported as authorita
tive that he had won nearly 100000
and that the Beach club was hard hit.
The next afternoon and evening play at
the club was much heavier. and applica
tons for membership were in such de-
mand that | was offered S25 for the use
of membership card for the afternoon
by young man who had neither the
wealth nor the influence to get in"

Have You Weak Kneed Rules in Your
Home?

In the April Woman's Home Compan-
ion Mary Heaton Worse, continuing her
series of articles entitled, "The New
Freedom for Little Children further
describes the new methods of education
laid down by Montessori, the celebrat-
ed Italian educational genius. The ques-
ton most frequently asked by mothers
interested in the Montessori plan isl:
What about discipline ?" This question
Is met in the Montessori method by the
proposition that each home should have
established within il certain "public
opnicn'; that is, standards OF conduct
for adults as well as children which each
individual in the household will instinc-
lively live up to. Following is an ex.
tract:
"While we discuss how to discipline
our children, we seem to forget that
there exists such thing in the world
as public opinion Ii is not the arbi-
trary laws OF the land-laws with armed
force behind them which influence our
conduct. 1t is the customs of the com
munity in which we live which dictate
all OF our acts and, alas, most Of our
thoughts.
"Ihe same is absolutely true of chill
dren. When one pleads for liberty for
children, one does not mean liberty to
run counter to the public opinion of the
family; for the family's greatest good
certain things must happen every day
in every household. Everyone must Get
up in the morning, battle. and dress;
meals must be eaten with more or less
certain work performed, and
again everyone must 20 to bed.
"The less a child has to discuss these
acts of life With anyone the
more free he is in the true sense of the
term. A man who is at odds with the
public opinion of his community con
corning elementary decency is not free
at all; he must spend all his time in
fighting. The whole of the civilized
world is agreed that one may not snatch
another mans belongings from him:
that certain acts of rudeness, if they
with other peoples liberty.
must not happen. So universal are these
beliefs, from China TO Russia, that any
grown person who violates them is
thought insane.
"If the public opinion of the home
could be as definite as the public opin-
ion of the community, or that found in
a Montessori SCHOOL, child would be a
great deal freer than in a home where
the public opinion is SO webbing and
weak lxneed that the children quarrel
with their bath, their bedtime, their
clothes, their food-and their parents"

COURT AFFIRMS
MACK CONVICTION
Newark Negro Must Now Pay
Penalty for Uxor-
icide.

TRENTON, June z3.-The convic-
ton of Charles Mack. of Newark, for
the murder of his wife, was affirmed
today by the Court of Errors and
Appeals. Mack a negro, lived with
his wife on Mulberry street and on
the night Of July %. 1913, the couple
had a quarrel.
About o'clock the following morn
ing Mack gave himself up to the po-
lice of the First precinct Newark,
and led them to the rooms on Null
berry street where his wife lay dead,
with her skull crushed and battered
from blows delivered by Mack with
an old Ratchet.
Mack was tried last fat m Essex
county. before Judge william P.
Martin. and was found guilty and
sentenced to death. He had his case
appealed, but today the Court of
Errors and Appeals, by a vote of 9
to 3. sustained the verdict of the
lower court. Justices Kalisch, Car
rison and Mintu"n disagreed with the
majority.
Justice Kalis h filed an opinion for
himself and the other dissenting JUS
tees holding that there was uncon
tradicted testimony that the evidence
given by Mack was involuntary.
1T is apparent. on the face of the
evidence that it does not support the
ruling Of the trial Judge, he said.
Justice Swayze wrote the majority
opinion. The court found there was
insufficient evidence to justify a re-
yersal. He said. Upon the trial of
the defendant for the murder of his
wife, a woman who had taken care of
defendants apartments was allowed
to testify that she did nat see a
