The poorer county maintained 10
schools, none with more than one
teacher and with terms of only four
or five months. Yet it had a preten-
tious courthouse with a full staff Of
officials.
when the vote for consolidation
came HOO persons voted, as against
a record of 900 in any previous cleo
ton. Only 20 voters, Office holders
and those who expected to be candi-
dates, opposed the movement. AS
result, the poorer county is now
relieved of the support of a judge,
sheriff, county trustee, register,
court clerk, superintendent of coun-
W schools, three road commission
ers and four justices of the peace.
1t is also freed of the upkeep of the
court house, which has been turned
into a school. Now the county has
ten schools with from to 16 teach
ers each. The farmers have the
services of a county agent, whereas
before they could not afford one.
There are excellent roads, and in
many cases the taxes on single
farms have been reduced substan-
TALLY.
So successful has this expert
ment been that now it is proposed
TO take another adjoining county
into the consolidation. Mr.. McMii-
len wonders how many counties in
other parts of the country could
join under similar Arrangement
and save great sums besides giving
farmers additional advantages"

OUR EYES,
TrnchOnla

"Granulated lids" is the name thai
is popularity applied to the more
technical disease known as trach'
oma. An eye specialist is quoted il
circular issued by the United
States Public Health Service as
saying that three-fourths of the
people who have graduated lids
and do not have them treated will
eventually become blind" If blind
ness does not follow the eyesight is
apt to be affected.
Trachoma is catching. 1t is
often unknown when it occurs
among children because it is called
sore eye"
Symptoms of the disease frequent
ly cause children-and grown peo-
pie as well, to think they have a
cinder, or some sand, or dirt in
their eye. The eyes soon become
red and painful and discharge
water.
MANY years ago." says the United
States Public Health Service, 1.-The
United States Government realized
the dangerous communicable nature
of trachoma, and it will not allow
any foreigner who has the disease
to land in our country"
The Public Health Service has
published the following: advice to
Those Having Trachoma:
1. Apply at once for treatment to
the nearest hospital, dispensary, or
to your physician.
2. Follow the directions of the
doctors and nurses as to treatment
and prevention.
8. Do not stop treatment until
you are cured.
4. Wash the face and hands sew
eral times a day and keep the finger
nails clean.
5. Have your own washbasin,
soap and towel.
6. Boil your handkerchiefs be-
fore adding them to the wash.
z. Do not allow your clothing or
bedclothes to become soiled with
the discharges (pus) from your
eyes.
8. When your eyes are discharg-
ing pus, collect the discharges on
ClOJuS WHICH, Cdu NC UuIu duu
stay away from members of your
family as much as possible.
8. Sleep alone and with the
window open.
TO-. Keep your home clean and
have large windows to let in fresh
air and sunshine.
Further suggestions by the
Health Service tell how to avoid
and spreading trachoma.
Good physical condition, plenty of |
air and sunshine, individual towels !
and handkerchiefs, clean washbas- !
ms and clean clothes are pointed |
out as preventatives.
The eye dispensaries and the eye |
specialists who fit glasses to the |
'granulated lids" recognize the SUI
perior qualities of the shell rims |
because they stay firmly in place
and are not thrown out of adjust
nent by the nervous condition of
he unfortunate who has trachoma.
Other forms of glasses that are not
secure will not hold the proper po-
;ition of vision and therefore they
are apt to be faulty, even if the
enses are correct in their work of
of eye diseases.
