A plain milk diet, supplemented by
orange Juice feelings, will prevent
conjunctivitis and in fact almost any
of the diseases Of the eyelids which
are supposed to come from infections.
Granular lids, although undoubtedly
OF an infectious origin, will not de-
velop if the child is properly fed and
the eyes kept clean by being washed
With plain water two or three times
daily.
It is wise for everyone to use care
in not spreading infections through the
use of common towels. and every
member Of the household should have
both a fresh face and bath towel at
least once daily.
Children who suffer from eve
strain do so because Of definite eve
defects or because OF a systematic

and often frequent blinking.
The remedy lies first in correcting
any existent acidosis and then by the
use OF certain eye exercises. Several
excellent books with illustrations
have been written explaining these
exercises. 7 have prepared a special
article On exercising the eyes and I will
send 1t to you upon request.

A great deal Of good has been &C.
ccnapliShed in the past few years
through the dissemination of infor-
nation about the car which should
be given in protecting the eyes OF
the young child. Infections from
carelessness at childbirth for
merly responsible for many thousands
of cases Of blindness each year with
children who became blind ven be-
fore one year Of age.
In most states the laws require the
physician to sterilize the baby's eyes
as soon as the child is born. These
laws usually compel the d~rugless
practitioner or the midwife to use
sterilizing measures even though
they are not otherwise permitted to
use medicinal preparations. It has
been found that the use Of a mild
antiseptic to cleanse the eyelids will
kill almost any kind of infection if it
is applied Immediately after birth.
The baby does not usually recognize
objects until at about six months, and
mothers are frequently alarmed be-
cause the eyes do not move in har-
mony when the baby is very young.
Complete coordination of eye move
'ments usually does not occur until
the baby is about three months old.
Mothers must be warned to keep
their babies eyes protected from
strong lights during tbs first few
months of life and at least until the
baby is old enough to sit up and
strong enough to protect himself by
turning away from strong lights.

but also have a distinct effect upon
producing errors in vision or eye
diseases.
The diseases which more commonly
affect children during early life are
those which affect the conjunctiva,

4 Nation Divided Within Itself

what an ironic contrast was afforded the country by
The fact that the funerals Of former President Taft and
OF John Dingbat Oberta took place on the same day
Ten thousand people filed through the rotu1da Of the
capitol at washington to pay a last farewell to the body
of the former president and chief Justice, 5000 milled
around a house In Chicago to attend the o~bsequtes Of the
slain r~acketeer, a power in g~angland until a machine
gun popped him off.
In a way these coiicidences were the evidence Of a
nation divided against itself. Just as slavery formerly
created two systems in the matter Of personal rights in
this nation In a former day, one Of freedom and the
other Of servitude In which the hondman was presumed
to have no rights requiring or worthy Of recognition, so
American civilization at this moment is a dual affair OF
law and crime typified in two social systems and of gang
government within constituted government.
The highest officials OF the nation attended Mi. Tafts
funeral. Still, the Dingbat had three Chicago politicians,
one Of whom Is about to run for congressman, among his
pal1bearers. Hts casket cost $4,000, was covered by a
blanket OF orchids and went to the grave accompanied
by four carloads Of flowers and a procession two miles
III length.

impressive a ceremony as the funeral Of a former presi-

VANDERBILT YACHT
WRECKED BY BLAST
Crew of 20 Escapes Injury, Though
Bits of Boat Are HrGled
100 Feet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April ga terrific ex-
plosion in the engine room of Cornelius
Vanderbilt's yacht Winchester, lying of
the New York Yacht Club IN the East
River at Twenty-sixth street, today blew
part of the deck high in the air and set
fire to the boat.
Witnesses said pieces of wreckage were
blown 100 feet in the air.
The yachts aft deck, the after mast
and the deck awning were thrown high
into the air, and a column Of fame
shot through the hole In the torn deck.
The yacht, 225-footer, formerly was
owned by Vincent Astor. 1t was built
at Bath, Me-, in 1916. She was of 466
gross tons.
Bellevue Hospital and other buildings
along the water front were shaken by
the explosion.
The yacht is valued at more than
100000.
The flames were extinguished within
an hour, tugs and other river craft
aiding flreboats.
Marine police said no one aboard the
yacht had been killed and it WAS be-
lieved all members of the crew, which
was quartered forward of the engine
room, were unhurt
At Bellevue Hospital several hundred
patients were made panicky by the ex-
plosion, but tlSy were quieted by nurses.
