• — - (?WT MM DOOMED TO BLINDNESS That eighty per cent, of blindness it due to tbe wanton neglect of babies is the startling assertion made by Rheta CMde Dorr, in her second article on r" "A Fighting Chance for the City Child", in the August number of Hatnpton's Magazine. Terrible as are Mrs. " Door's revelations concerning the diseases of children, she shows, in her valuable informative article, how these maladies can be prevented and cured, and recites the work in various cities in behalf of the poor child. Mrs. Dorr sayf: "It is extremely important that a child shall begin his life career under K Conditions of cleanliness and purity. It U only fai^ to' give the newly born a food start, since most babies enter life in a healthy condition. A little neglect hften results in lifelong misery. About eighty per cent., it is said, of blindness, that saddest of human handicaps, occurs because the eyelids of little babies were allowed to become infected at birth or Shortly afterwards. This infection, terrible to relate, often results from the 'dissipation and excesses of the child's father. Often it is caused by dirt and floating germs. Few children are born With diseased eyes, and if the right precautions are taken, the great majority •scape this particular form of disease." The work done in New York, especially in the prevention of blindness. Mrs. Dorr holds up ss an example to Other cities. "Sooner or later, and the sooner the better," she says, "all large cities will hare to follow the example of New York City, and create in the Department Of Health a Bureau of Child Hygiene. In New York the Bureau of Ghild Hygiene, the first of its kind in the United States, has become an important part, of the municipality. The Bureau has been in existence less than two years, a period not long enough to realize its entire plan of work. When it is in complete working order, when enough doctors and "enough nurses and enough money have been secured, the bureau will hare jurisdiction over every Child in New York City. "The Bureau of child Hygiene intends that there shall be no more preventable blindness in newborn babies. Merely to teach New York mothers how nurses are employed by the bureau, the New York City midwife is obliged, as toon as a child is horn, to wash its eyes and drop in a one-per-oent. solu- , tion of silver nitrate, the same being furnished free of charge by the Department of health. "One hundred and forty-two trained nurses to take care of babies. : These nurses do not wait until 1 the bodies are tick until they begin their ministrations. Each nurse has her district, which she pa- . trols like a faithful soldier, going from home to home in the crowded tene- 1 ttents. Mothers are alwaye glad to show their babies to another woman. . The object of the Bureau's nurses is to 1 prevent the babies of the tenements from falling ill." I " ( Children Cry , FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA THE IDEAL LIFE ^ Life st Cape May is ideal and productive of the greatest results in health and strength. This is because it is so arranged that only healthful influences enter into the daily routine. There is no resort at which outdoor sports are to Indulged in and so much enjoyed as here. This is tbe source of pleasure and activity with most of our summer population and it is the rational - logical and proper way in which to pass the summer and obtain the benefits which Should accrue from a sojourn at the ■eaahore. The outdoor sports are here in their perfection too, because people are interested in them and maintain them in vigorous fashion. There is not a popular sport of this kind indulged in at the seashore which was not first j taken up and developed at Cape May. Then the more ambitious of the other resorts had to stop selling lots and high balls long enuogh to go in for •port so as to have it to advertise, but efforts are usually so stilted and out of harmony that this is easily observable and the spasms cease after a year or so. AUTOMOBILE VS. HAY WAGON An automobile tearing along on a joy ride with four men and chauffer and two ladies, on Tuesday night attempted to run over an old fashioned hay wagon which happened in the way, but the hay wagon not being a jelly stuck to the road and the anto halted in spite of her Six '-cylinders considerably mixed up, to •ay nothing of the joy riders who pitched out in various directions without regard to race, sex or previous condition of servitude One broke an ankle and - one of the ladiee drew a alight hurt in the mix-np. The names of those present are omitted by request. There win have to be overhead crossings provided for these street locomotives. The hay wagon still naps it along not particularly the worse for the contact with the more modem vehicle. The anto may bare to sue the bay wagon for danugea.
