PRESIDENT OF PERU
.. BUSTED FROM OFFICE
Minister Of War Killed in De.
Tending Barracks.

Lima, Peru, Feb. 5.-A military coup
d'etat completely overthrow the Pc.
ruvian government and brought about
the resignation of President Billing
hurst after he was imprisoned in the
palace.
War Minister Varela was killed
while attempting to defend the Santa
Catalina barracks against the revolu.
tionists. Colonel Benavides, leader
OF the movement against. the Billing.
hurst government, now occupies the
palace and is expected momentarily
to declare himself president
The fear of the public was that
some loyal regiments might try to re-
take the capital from the revolu-
tionists. This would result in blood
shed and destruction.
So far there has been no fighting
and the streets of Lima, though
crowded with excited people, are COM
paratively quiet.

1t is an alarming fact that more
than one-third of all the blind children
of this country are unnecessarily blind.
These children are doomed to a life OF
long darkness because at the time of
their birth eyes we're not properly
washed and treated by the physician
or midwife.
Keep infected material out of baby's
eyes and use preventive solution. If
within a few hours after birth or at
any time within few days the baby's
eyes appear inflamed, congested (blood
shot or there is a thick, sticky, whit
ish, yellowish discharge in the baby's
eyes and the lids become red and

Immediately. Failure to properly care
for the eyes at this time may make you
responsible for the ehild's blindness or

weeviS has caused a loss in the pro-
dnction of cotton In the United State
10 excess Of 100000 bales, which, at
q valne Of only $50 bale, represents
& financial loss of s5O0,OOO.OOO. This
rs only the loss in areas actually
Vianted. The reduction in the produc
ton OF cotton due to the fact that
farmers cefrained from planting be-
cause of the fear that the weevlI
would not allow the plant to mature
can never be estimated.

1910: TO 37,s16 bales in 1911; and to
3O,S09 bales in 1912. The aggregate
production for the four years amount
ell to Sf9.634 bales. valued at approx
imatsIy S14.600.00O. Had the crop of
