TAKE NO CHANGES
WITH LA GRIPPE
Health Commissioner Advises All to
Go Right After It at the
Start.
MIGHT TURN TO PNEUMONIA

Health Commissioner Connell re-
ports an improvement in the scarlet
fever situation, with an increase OF
grip. He was asked to say a few
words of advice on the subject OF
strip.
Grip this season does not appear 70
start on victims with as much severity
as last season. The effects arc just as
serious" he said. MY advice is not TO
try to wear It out, because the chances
are you will aggravate the case and II
will wear you out. Better go TO bed
when the fret symptoms appear and in
that manner give your body a chance TO
fight the disease. Grip Is caused by a
distinct poison in the system
The doctor stated that many cases OF
grip this season develop into pneumonia.
His advice Is to give heed to the first
symptoms and take TO bed and thus give
the healthy germs a better opportunity
to combat the disease germs.

In statement issued following the
adjournment Of Congress, President
Wilson called attention to the "help-
full and humane legislation" passed
and declared that while he regretted
additional legislation dealing with the

APPROPRIATION IS SECURED
Claims Trachoma, Which Is Contag

inaly Prevalent in Certain Parts
of the State.

Little 1NOChs
BY the assistance of Senator Lemuel
A. Kendall, Supt. John H. Hinemon
secured from the Legislature of 1915
a small appropriation for the publica-
ton and distribution of literature on
preventable blindness. With this fund
Mr.. Hinemon has had printed circu-
lars on "Needlessly Blind for Life,
"Trachoma" and Suggestions to Pre-
vent Blindness" and he has sent tens
of thousands of these circulars to all
parts of the state. Any or all oil
these circulars, circular on Common
Causes of Blindness" and other i'm
portant and interesting literature may
be had without cost Oh application &c
John H. Hinemo,, superintendent Ar
kansas School for the Blind, Little
Rock
Speaking Of his campaign to pre-
vent blindness, Mr.. Hinemon said:
while | am doing all in my power
to increase the efficiency Of the school
for the blind, regard it as far more
important to prevent blindness than 10
educate the blind. To this end | am
trying In every way conceivable 70
arouse and instruct the people by
sending our various circulars. There
are in the United States more than
10000 persons who are needlessly
blind and for life The average cost
Of educating a child in the school IS
near $4,000. If only one case of blind
ness in the whole state is prevented
we will have saved the state five times
the entire appropriation for the publi-
catios and distribution Of literature
on preventable blindness. What a
fine investment and what noble use
OF the states money, particularly
when a person endowed with normal
vision considers the value of his eye
sight"
According to Supt. Hinemon, ira
choma, which is contagious and highly
infectious, is alarmlngly prevalent N
certain parts Of the state, especially
as Arkansas is one of the three Amer
ican states in which this dread dis
ease is most common. More than one
half the children in the Arkansas
School for the Blind last year we're
there as a result of trachoma. There
were three children from one family
in the school last session, all due TO
ignorance, indifference or the failure
TO use precautionary or preventive
measures In this great work of pre-
venting blindness Mr.. Hinemon soil
cits the active cooperation Of all sol
diers of common good" and surely
ever lover of humanity is willing ito
lend a hand"
