Help for the Blind.

The Journal of the American Medi.
cal Association is authority for the
averment that the blind people in the
United States number 100000, and
that 1t costs about $15.0O0,OO0 to sup
port them. It is estimated that rs per
cent Of this blindness is due to two
causes, namely, sore eyes at birth and
neglected eyes during early school
life. The first cause can be removed
In the simplest manner. All that IL
necessary is for the doctor or midwife
to drop into the eyes Of the newly
born babe few drops of two per
cent solution of nitrate Of silver. This
will kill the germs that produce the
disease which almost fills SO many
blind asylums.

The city beautiiers who have extend
cd their pulchritudinous measures to
the country will be delighted. though
somewhat abashed, to note that the
state Of Pennsylvania has antedated
them for some years.
An old and forgotten enactment of
that commonwealth forbids the plac-
ing. erecting or maintaining along any
road within the state. whether state
highway, state or county or township
road, of signs Of any description.
Road employees have been instructed,
since this old law has been dug up, to
tear down all signs that may be fas-
tened Or trees, fences. posts Or bowl
ders along the roads. Where these
dishguring signs are painted on the
fences the workmen are instructed to
paint them out
But what Of the equally disnguring
signs within the lands inclosed by the
fences or bordered by the roads? Is it
the idea Of the state that only land
owners may have license to disfigure
the landscape? That law needs amend :

very naturally resisted this attempt to
deprive them of the land they have

of history, two anti-Polish bills were
passed through the Prussian diet: One

Potash and Phosphates.
From the Chicago Journal.


The agricultural department. of the
University of Illinois has published an
other report dealing with the. soils of
this state and the fertilizers which
they need. This new Investigation,
like the last. shows that Illinois farm
ers need not worry about potash. with
the exception of swamp lands our soils
have all the potassium salts they need,
and the addition of more Is a stimu-
liant rather than food.
What Illinois land usually does lack
Is phosphorus. and the. United States
has a plentiful supply Of phosphate
rock. This is good news to farmers
who had been taught that the lack of
German potash would cut down their
crops. It tends likewise to stimulate an
American industry which was being
hidden behind clever foreign advertis-
ing. By the time this war is over.
America will know how much potash
fertilizer It really needs, and what the
stun Is worth on the soil
