The Journal Of the American Medi'

averment that the blind people in the
United States number 100000. and
that it costs about 100000 to sup
port them. 1t is estimated that 75 per

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 is
necessary is for the doctor or midwife
to drop into the eyes of the newly
born babe q few drops OF two per

will kill the germs that produce the
disease which almost fills 30 many

Points to Death Roll in Ad-

NEW YORK. July 13-The Grand
Army of the Republic suffered the loss
during the year 1914 of 1880 members,
according to Department Commander
James II Bell.
Colonel Bell who Is one of Brookiy n 8
best-known civil war veterans, IN his
recent address to his comrades at the
national encampment at Albany, stated
that there were 1898 members in good
standing in the Grand Army on June /.
1915 On January l. 1914 there were iSit3
on the roll. Sixty more died in 1911
than in 1918.
In his address. Colonel Bell said,
among other things:
The great war now devastating the
contingent of Europe brings into
stronger relief our own conditions of
peace. The veterans of the War of the
Rebellion are for peace, for 1t was the
said Let us have peace
our citizens must remember that
1t is their duty to respond to the call
of their Government when needed and
while we should love peace we must at
the same time be prepared to resist
aggression and to sustain our nation
and its government against those who
would not respect its just demands.
Any teaching, therefore, which, in the
guise of advocating peace, would
weaken the patriotic impulses of our
people and render them less likely TO
respond to demands for military serv-
ice when required, should not be tol-
for our flag and our institutions
should be taught to all of our people
and the duties should be impressed
upon them to be willing to make every
sacrifice for the protection of the one
and the perpetuity Of the other"
