OLDEST MEMBER IN
CONGRESS PASSES

The roll has been called for the
last Civil war veteran in congress
and death stilled the activities OF
Charles NJ. Steadman Wednesday at
the age of 80 years. Mr.. Steadman
who rode with Stonewall Jackson in
the Union army go years ago had
served his state of North Carolina
for nearly two decades, Democrat.
Mr.. Steadman was the oldest mem
Der in congress and since his eighty
fifth birthday the house had suspended
business to honor him on each ami
versary. He was born at PittsbOro
N. c. on January %, 1S41 and fol-
lowing the war entered into a law
practice. His public career started
when he attended the Democratic
national convention in 1880 and four
years later became lieutenant gov
ernor.
He had announced his retiremnt
from public life and this year for the
first time in long period his name
did not appear on the primary ballot
of his state.

HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

St. Paul, Minn.-The child who
squints runs serious risk of loss OF
vision in one eye and possible blind
ness, declares bulletin issued by the
Educational Committee of the Mime
sofa State Medical association today
This, rather than the question of
appearances is the fundamental con-
sideratiOn involved in treatment OF
this eye defect.
Normal vision is the result of fusion
Of two separate images into one by
the brain centers. Diplopia or pro-
duction of two separate images is
very uncomfortable and the child who
squints instinctively suppresses the
image from the deviating eye. That
points out the bulletin, is where the
trouble comes in. After a while the
deviating eye becomes useless. 1t be-
comes functionally blind from disuse
and within few years neither glass
es nor operation nor the exercises
evolved by the doctor will restore
sight to that eye.
Parents of children who squint
should know that if they wait for eX-
pert treatment until the child has
been in school a year or two it will
be too late for any treatment what
ever to do any good. The deviating
eye will always be blind and with
only half normal vision at best, and
the child's chances for complete
blindness are increased by no less
than so per cent.
The cause of squint varies, these
doctors say. Sometimes it is the re-
suit of severe illness. Sometimes it
is hereditary. In any case the essen
tial treatment is the same.
Bring the child for examination and
treatment when he is two years old
the bulletin urges. He will need
glasses. And beyond that he will
need very painstaking and persistent
exercises to save the vision. If he
is taken in time, there is an excel
lent chance that sight will be re-
tanned in the otherwise useless eye
With the corrective lenses he will see
as well as normal children.
All pre-school children should have
thorough physical examinations, es-
pecially the child who squints. His
vision for his whole life is at stake.

Myself

have to live with myself, and so
want to be fit for myself to know;
l want to be able as the days go by
Always to look myself straight in the
eye.
l don't want to stand with the setting
And hate myself for the things I've
done.
l don't want to keep on the closet
shelf.
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as l come and go
Into thinking nobody else will know
The kind of person l really am.
l don't want to cover myself with
sham.
/ want to go out with my head erect;
want to deserve the worlds respect,
And in the struggle for fame and pelf
l want to be able to like myself
For never can hide myself from me;
I see what others can never see
! know what others can never know.
So, no matter what happens, l want
to be
Self-respecting and conscience-free.

misfortune. Here 1t was his last year
and he wouldn't go In against Harvard
or Yalel
him bewailing his hard luck In the
an could only get in that next
game he said, I'd forget all about this
why don't you tell COACH said my
assistant.
my goodness, said slagle, he won't
let me play, No, I'm afraid he won't
MY assistant brought the story Of
this conversation to me. 1t gave me an
idea. If Slagle was able to go in against
Harvard, the whole Crimson team
would be watching him. That might
give us chance to shuttle our tactics
In a way that would increase the eff
cheney of the other ball carriers.
IT asked him how he really felt.
I'm all right, COACH he said,
really can play. Give me the chance
Perhaps said, If we can devise
some kind of brace for that leg
I'VE got to work on brace. The re-
suit was that when we went to Cam
bridge Slagle was in the lineup.
II never saw gamer exhibition than
he gave that afternoon. He played
the whole game. Things turned out as
we hoped for. The Harvard players
were so intent on watching Slagie that
we were able to plan our strategy &C.
cordingly. We won, IL to 0.
"Slagle put up a great bluff of being
in good shape. The other fellows didn't
carry the ball all the time, either. Once
he got away for 30-yard run.
Il had to smile when I read the pa
pers the next day. They said that
Slagle was almost the great Jake of the
year before. I could have told them
that he was greater-considering the
handicap under which he was playing.
His craftsmanship in going in
against Harvard was tremendous fac
tor in bringing us victory. 1t inspired
the whole team and the inspiration
lasted through the next week when we
met Yale. Jake wasn't able to play
then, but the team went out and won
anyway, by q score of 10 to IT,
