MlLADY SHOULD BE CAU- q
TIOUS WHEN SHE USES A q
POWDER PUFF. q
BY William Brady, M. D.
, >>><>>>><<<<>

The modern use of face powder, as
we have ventured to affirm, is not
only justifiable but advisable as a
healthful habit when it is necessary
or when a woman thinks it is neceS-
sary. Decked out in the latest style
of pigment milady feels happier, looks
like she feels and, from obvious psy-
Geological influence, really is healthi-
er person for the time being.
However, there are some dangers
she must avoid In the first place, she
must beware of those paints and other
accessories of the toilet which contain
lead. wood, alcohol, mercury and SIM
liar harmful ingredients In the second
place, she must be careful how she
powders, lest she suffer conjunctivitis.
Conjunctivitis is medical highbrow
language for sore eyes-inflamed lin
ing of the eyelids.
The particular kind of conjunctivitis
caused by face powder is characteriz-
ed by blurring of vision, inability to
use the eyes for near-work and fire.
quent seizures Of intense itching of
the eyelids. If the eyes are rubbed to
relieve the itching the lids are liable
to become swollen. There is a sticky,
stringy secretion of mucus from the
lids.
The fine powder applied with pow
der puff gets into the eyes, especially
rice powder. The rice powder produces
sort of mucilage when moistened
with the tears, the woody rice cells
swell and their angular corners cause
irritation of the delicate lining of the
lids. Rubbing obviously aggravates the
condition by adding insult to injury
The trouble is quickly relieved by
flushing the eyes with normal salt so
luton (teaspoonful table salt dissolv-
ed in pint of boiled still warm water).
Allow the solution to run over eyeballs
and in the sac of the lids quite freely
to wash away the irritating matter.
Then smear the edges of the eyelids
with equal parts of vaseline and lon
olin, sterilized and put up in a col
lapsible tube Work small quantity of
the ointment into the eyes. 1t is harm
less. Repeat the irrigation and the ap-
plication of the ointment twice day
until relieved. But, of course, the pow
der puff must be tossed into the waste
basket and little more homeopathic
INDUCED in for a while. A
little too little powder generally looks
nicer than little too much anyway.

BABY WEEK IN HATTIESBURc.

The purpose of Hattiesburg's Baby
Week is thus summed up in the follow
ing, in hopes of it interesting those
who are taking no part in the cam
paign:
Fundamentally, the purpose of Baby
Week is education. 1t seeks:
First. To bring to every Hattiesburg-
er the fact that it is sound civic econ.
omy to reduce the sickness and death
rates among babies and to improve
the coming generation by measures
which viii keep the baby and mother
we'll before and after the baby's birth.
The community's responsibility for its
babies is the central thought for Baby
Week.
Second. To tell the people of Hat
8tiesburg facts concerning the pres
ent status of infant mortality in their
city and what is being done, both by
public and private organizations, to
improve conditions which injuriously
affect the health of their babies.
Third. To give directly to the faith
ers and mothers, the brothers
and sisters of babies such in
formation about the care of babies as
will result in better care and feeding
during the summer months when the
mortality rate is especially and need
lessly high.
Fourth. To effect better under
ster ding which may coordinate the
va ious agencies. public and private,
which have baby welfare as their pri-
mary object with view to avoiding
duplication and waste of effort and
increasing the effectiveness and scope
of their work.

STATE PEN|TENT|ARY
WORTH s2,266,832
APPRAISERS PLACE VALUATION
ON STATE INsTITu-
TiONS.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 23.-The Missis-
sippi penitentiary farms, equipment,
products on hand, cattle. mules and
horses are worth $2,266, S3235, accord
ing to report made today by the ap-
praisers, A. j. Moseley, of Clarksdale,
and Pat Henry, of Brandon, appointed
by Governor Brewer. just before he
went out of office, to visit the differ
ent plantations and appraise the prop
critics. The appraisers sent in their
report today to the governor and the
board of trustees.
The appraisement reported on is for
the year 1915, and an increase of about
100000 over 1910, when the total val
uation was placed at s1,934,147.62
Appraisers Moseley and Henry
agreed that the reports of other APP
praisers for previous years on the
land values were about correct. ex-
cept in the case of the Rankin farm,
where the previous report gave in the
land as worth 500 an acre Because
of the unusually excellent conditions
prevailing at the Rankin Farm Messrs.
Moseley and Henry have valued it at
$25 an acre.
The personal appraisement was $45,-
317.35, including stock, unsold pro-
ducts, equipments of various kinds and
warehouse contents. The balance is for
real estate and buildings.
There have been some rather i'm
poriant Improvements made during the
year 1915 and this has helped to swell
the increase in the valuation of the
properties.
The Parchman is valued at SS5 an
acre, the Belmont at $50, Oakley $50
and Rankin S25.
According to the appraisers condi-
tons at all of the farms are excellent.
and they have only words of praise for
the superintendent, E. J. O'Keefe, and
others who are in charge. The report
reflects credit upon the prison trus-
tees, too.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. 1.-Safe
from Atlantic perils after buffeting in
rough October gales, German sub
sea freighter Deutschland locked
here today on second American voy-
age.
Twenty-one days out from Brem-
en-, she hummed through Long Island
Sound outer haTbor shortly after
midnight, with valued cargo of rare
medicines and dyes intact.
Capt Paul Koenig, who brought
Deutschland into Baltimore on it's
first trip, was in command. 1--WE had
trouble at Bremen, cOIHding with an
other vessel" said Koenig, that laid
US up ten days for repairs"
Koenig's papers read: Bound for
Baltimore or any other Atlantic sea-
port, but the best available informa-
ton was that he believed his chances
of running the allied coast patrol to
be better by heading into New Lon
don.
No time will be lost in unloading
her precious cargo, said to include
valuable drugs and a rare medicine
shut off from America by the war.
Her whole cargo is said to be valued
at around $1,OOO,OOO and she will
take back nickel and rubber of nearly
equal value to use in hospitals and
for munitions.
In addition, it is understood, she
carried a pouch of diplomatic mail for
Ambassador Van BernstOrff.

WILSON CONSIDERS
 CHOICE OF JUDGE
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, July 13.-President Wilson has narrowed the list of men he is considering for appointment to the supreme court to J. H. Clarke. of Cleveland, federal district judge. and Victor J. Bowling, judge of the New York supreme court. He will make selection within a few days, and it was indicated tonight that Judge Clarke probably would be given the place.
 Both Judge Clarke and Judge Bowling are comparatively young men and this is one of the qualifications which has attracted the attention of the president to them Judge Clarke has the support of Secretary Baker and Judge Bowling has been recpm- merded to the president by many New York lawyers. Mir. Wilson ap- pointed Judge Clarke to the federal bench and therefore is familiar with his qualifications.
 The president is anxious to make the appointment as soon as possible so tEat the senate may confirm the new justice at the present session.
