HEALTH TALKS.

ANY condition of inflammation or
sore eyes in newborn babies should
bs regarded seriously. If the eye
lids OF a baby less than six weeks
old become red. swollen. and pus is
discharged from the lids. do not neg
lect it, but call your physician at
once. DO NOT think it is cold in
the eyes or something of little inn
portance. We frequently see blind
ness in one or both eyes as a result
from neglected cases.
1t ia unnecessary to have sore eyes
for it can be prevented in practically
all cases by putting special drops"
in the baby's eyes Immediately after
birth. Every doctor and midwife
should use these drops in every case
they attend. These drops consist
of a percent solution of silver nitrate.
The Mississippi State Board of
Health furnishes this medicine with
dropper to any midwife and the law
provides that this solution be used.
one drop in each eye Immediately
after birth. II this were done as a
routine practice as the law provides,
many blind children in the Safe
Institutions all over the country
would now be happy, whereas they
must Rrope in darkness forever be-
cause the doctor or midwife neg
lected to do his or her duty,
Look up the statistics on this and
see the number of sightless people
in our country from neglect of this
kind.
Many mid-wives are entirely ignor-
ant and are dirty and positively
dangerous.

Interest in Reading
Grows With Contest

The opening of the second week of the
summer reading contest. conducted by
the public libraries for the indianapolis
school children, shows large number Of
contestants.
The creation of interest in better lit
erature is the chief purpose of the con-
test.
Librarians and school officials for
some time have been noticing the ten
dency of the children to read "a low
grade of literature during the summer
months and thought that a contest re-
quiring the reading of the better books
of literature would stimulate an interest
for them.
Booklets with the rules of the con-
test and a list of fifty books, out Of
which ten must be read during the con-
test, are being issued to the children
from the various library branches.
At the completion of the ten books a
Diploma is awarded and the school Of
which the child is a member will be
credited with certain number of points.
The contest will be continued through
out the summer.

The first English monarch To suf-

ings against himself was King Edward
II, who was formally deposed in 1897.
He had been left the Kingdom in 1907,
and faced difficulties. He could not
even control the royal family. His
cousin, the carl Of Lancaster, conSpired
against him: he lost his chief minis
ter, Gaveston. and his army was crush
ed at the battle Of BnnnOckburn. Az
ter series Of hiSh-handed political
intrigues, in which religion played 2

persuaded to file charges against the
monarch. He was depOscd and the
government turned over to his son

cathra hounds for three and q half
hours on the mountain heights above

in assure of rock in crack near the
skyline of Wanthwaite. Here he faced
one OF the gamest terriers belonging
to the pack and, scrambling to shelf
in the rocks, was able for some time
to give as fierce punishment DIS he got
The terrier killed the fox, but re-
fused to leave 1T and followers and
hounds had at last to quit the crags
so that they might make the descent
of one of the most dangerous ravines
OF the mountain range before dark
ness. When huntsman and whip re.
turned next morning to the crag they
found terrier rs well as fox lying dead
outside the borran.
An examination Of the terrier show
ed that the fox had inflicted no mortal
wound unon him. The terrier had
