CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909.
arid I saiil "Yes." so lie tinkled a little bell and sent a clerk to buy A
copy in Fleet street. I was not sure about tlte date, but the clerk, who
was such a nice bov. said be* could search the tile.
My the time 1 had finished the c 'k returned with the newspaper.
Mr. Warden changed his spectacles and said "Hum!" and "Ha!" sev
eral times while he was reading the paragraph. Then he put on the
gold ones again and gazed at me.
"You are a very remarkable girl, he said.
"I suppose my story sounds odd," I answered, "but it all happened
<v:aetly as 1 have told you, and there is hardly anything that takes
place in Dale End which the gang cannot form a reliable opinion
about."
"The gang?" he repeated.
"I beg your pardon; I meant my animal friends, but of course
you don't quite believe in them."
"1 believe that you talk to them and thus teach,yourself to express
your views very clearly. At any rate, we can let that pass. May I
,see this phenomenon of a ju-ju?"
T smiled, because 1 was expecting him to say that.
( "If you don't mind," I explained, "I would rather show it to you
in-tlie train this evening."
"This evening? Are we not going to Dale End at once?"
"I shall not be ready until nearly 0 o'clock. I have a lot of things
to-do. Are you quite sure you will meet me at the station?"
He was positive, he said, but he was distressed at the notion that
I*would be hours and hours alone in London, so the nice young clerk
»was ordered to take care of me. I led him rather a dance, and the
way I spent Schwartz's gold seemed to give him a pain. Mr. Warden
[promised to telegraph to Mam to tell her I was quite safe and that we
would both be home about 7, but he was so astounded by my adven
tures that he wrote Southend in place of Dale End, and the telegram
reached us in a letter two days later, with Mr. Warden's apologies.
Do you know, I am convinced the ju-ju had something to do with
that. If Schwartz had heard who Mr. Warden was he might have
smelt a rat. And isn't it odd, as Bob pointed out, that Southend
should come after West End and Dale End anil Ostcnd and Mile End?
The clerk and 1 had lunch and tea together, and he insisted on
paying, though I had ever so much more money than he in my pocket.
By the time we reached Waterloo he looked rather tired, because we
took no more cabs, and I went to lots of places 1 wanted to see, so I
bought him a box of cigarettes as a present, and lie said he hoped 1
would often come to London on business.
Mr. Warden was waiting for me, and the moment the guard set
eyes on me he came running up. 1
"So you're here, are you. Miss Grosvenor?" he cried. "A fino
thing you've bin and gone and done. All Dale End is inquirin' after
you, an' your pore father is nearly wild."
Mr. Warden gave him a shilling, saying it was all right. But it
wasn't. When we reached our station and began to walk to the
Lodge, as I!ob was not there to meet us, every person we met turned
: / c -{ Q?\ 1
I
and followed us until there was quite a mob at our heels when we
crossed the green. We didn't know then that Mr. Banks, our police
man, had all the negroes, including Prince John, locked up in his tiny
police station. Jack and several men from the manor were helping
him to mount guard over them until more policemen arrived, as the
Dale Enders wanted to lynch the black men, which would have been
a sad job for everybody.
Our escort blocked the road in front of our gate, but they did not
venture to come inside the ground . Dan was the first to hear the
noise, and he barked. Then he caught my stop 011 the gravel, and
Mam will never again say that a dog can't speak, for 110 told her quite
plainly that I was coming.
Well, you can guess all the crying and kissing that went on and
how Dad tried to be angry while he took me in his arms, but Mr.
Warden spoke about the telegram and declared lie would write to the
Times and the postmaster general. Tib climbed up on my shoulder,
and Rikki 'rave my hand such a queer little lick, while Poll did several
lightning twists mi the crossbar and whistled, "Won't you conic home,
Bill Bailey ?" llt card dear Bob neighing in the stable, and I went to
kiss his velvety nose the first minute 1 could spare.
Mr. Schwartz was r< ally as delighted as anybody that I had turned
up, so he failed to notice how cool Mr. Warden was when Dad intro
duced them. I had hardly got my hat and jacket off and was hugging
Mam for the tenth time when Dad called me into the morning room,
vii he and Sell vartz and Mr. Warden were standing.
.Ihitors can be very sharp if they like, and our lawyer surprised
me with tL way he tackled Schwartz.
"My young iond lure," he said, meaning me, "tolls me she has
promised t> ro >ro to v<,u a certain article known as a ju-ju, which
you lost 011 Chri turns
"Yes," said SciiV.artz quite calmly. You see, he was a smart man
, of business, and 1 suppose he was not afraid of lawyers or he would
not h re been able to keep all the money he was worth.
"Well," wont on Mr. Warden, "she is prepared to hand it to you
in return for your quittance of her father's obligation to find you a
thousand shares in the Kwantu Mines, limited."
That staggered Schwartz somewhat, but be said in a husky voice,
: "I fail to understand you."
" That i a pity. I wish to avoid a scandal. If you compel candor,
1 shall be obliged to tell you who is the real owner of that property,

STATE TO PREVENT
INFANT BLINDNESS
Health Commissioner Dixon Says
One-Third ot the Cases of
Blindness Can be Pre
vented.
MOTHER SHOULD CALL DOCTOR
i
I
Old Law to Be Enforced That Will
Secure Proper Treatment For
New-Born Infants and Save
LCS3 of Eyesight.
To guard new-born infants against
that terrible misfortune, blindness,
State Health Commissioner Dixon has
revived a state law passed some years
ago for just this object, but never en
forced to any extent. This law, passed
June 2G, 1895, is entitled "An act for
the prevention of blindness, imposing
a duty upon all midwives, nurses or
other persons having the care of in
fants. and also upon the health officer,
and fixing a penalty for neglect there
of."
Dr. Dixon declared today "that if the
provisions of this law arc carried out
there is reason to hope that one-third
of the cases of blindness which so
greatly diminishes the productive
value of the individual and too often
renders him a burden on society may
be prevented."
Letter to Physicians.
To ten thousand physicians through
out Pennsylvania Health Commission
er Dixon is sending the following let
ter:
"You are probably aware of the fact
that the American Medical association
at its last annual meeting authorized
the issue of the report of the commit
tee on ophthalmia neonatorum, which
' forcibly called attention to the fact
that a very large percentage of the
I cases of blindness which the state is
! called upon to support is caused by
j that disease, and urged the necessity
j for organized and concerted effort on
J the part of the profession in all of the
! states of the Union to diminish this
| evil. That this appeal is most timely is
j sufficiently indicated by a recent re
j port from the Pennsylvania School for
j the Blind, which shows that in the
j past eight yeai-3 more than one-third
| of the persons admitted to that insti
! tution have owed their affliction to
i this cause.
j "This department has. therefore.
; thought it desirable to revive a law
| which has for many years lain dor
! mant on our statute books, and a copy
j of which is herewith enclosed.
"Inasmuch, however, as I doubt the
; wisdom of entrusting the treatment of
I so delicate an organ as the eye to un
skilled hands. I have appended to the
; iaw instructions making it the duty
of the health officer to urge those in
| charge to secure the services of a phy
sician at the earliest possible moment
after the discovery of the disease, and
have suggested a harmless cleansing
solution to be used until such time as
j the physician could arrive and Initiate
the active treatment for which the
nitrate of stiver or some other silver
1 salt will probably be deemed most ef
fective. May 1 hope for your assist
| ance in carrying out this plan for di
minishing a fertile cause of misery
and disability?"
Instructions to Health Officers.
Tlu department, of health has
■ sent to each of its 7110 township health
j officers full instructions as to their
duty under the law. These instructions
are as follows:
"In order to carry out the provisions
of the above law it becomes your duty
to acquaint yourself with the names
and addresses of all midwives and
nurses residing or practicing in your
district, and to plpce a copy of the law
in the hands of each, instructing her
as to its requirements.
"Immediately on receiving notifica
tion from a midwife or nurse of the
occurrence of a ease of red or swollen
eyes in a young infant you will inform
the attending physician of the fact,
and will place in the hands of the mid
wife or nurse (lie accompanying in
structions, explain! :g that she is to
follow thein only until a physician ar
rives to take charge of the case If no
physician has been employed, you will
urge upon the family the necessity for
obtaining one, as otherwise the child
may become permanently blind."
Here is the proscription given for
treating inflamed eyes in new-born in
fants until the physician arrives:
"To one pint of boiled water add two
teaspoor.t'uls of boric acid and half 0
teaspoonl'ul of table salt and keep cov
ered in a jar which has been boiled
With a perfectly clean cloth or a wad
of absorbent cotton bathe the lids with
this solution and drop a few drops in
the eye three times a day."
State Health Commissioner Dixon
has also requested the department's
medical inspector in every county in
the state to assist the health officers
in the discharge of the duty assigned
them. A letter has also been written
to the secretary of every city, borough
! and first class township board of
health in Pennsylvania, calling their
attention to the law and urging that
these boards adopt such measures as
will lead to its early enforcement In
the municipality under the local
I board's jurisdiction. The wording of
the act of June 26. 1R95. is as follows:
T!-.c Law.
"Wherrpv stafi.;firs compiled in this
| country and liurope demonstrate thai
; fully 25 pet centum of the blind owe
fßelr aCITcITon To an InTTaiffiriafTon o
the conjunctive appearing a few days
after birth; and
"Whereas. Experience has proved
that the inflammation can be cured
and the eyesight saved in the majority
j of cases if treatment ba instituted at
| an early state of the disease; and
"Whereas, Destruction of the eyes
j and blindness are usually the result ol
I delay of treatment
| "Section 1. Be it enacted, etc. That
should one or both eyes of an infant
I become inflamed or swollen or red
j dened at any time within two weeks
after birth, it shall be the duty of the
midwife or nurse, or other person hav
ing the care of such infant, to report
in writing, within six hours after thu
discovery thereof, to the health officer
or legally qualified practitioner of the
city, town or district in which tho
mother of the child resides, the fact
that such inflammation or swelling or
redness exists.
"Section 2. That it shall be the duty
j of said health officer, immediately
upon receipt of said written report, to
| notify the parents or the person hav
ing charge of said infant of the danger
to the eye or eyes of said infant by
' reason of said condition from neglect
of proper treatment of the same, and
j he shall also enclose • o them diree
j tlons for the prop rti ment thereof.
"Section 3. ' heakh officer shall
' rnish a copy 1 this act to each per
son who is l:*>own.to him to act as
midwife or nur " in the city or town
for which such health officer is ap
pointed.and the secretary of state
shall cause a sufficient number of
copies of this act to be printed and
supply the same to such health officers
on application.
"Section 4. Any failure to comply
with the provisions of this act shall
be punishable by fine not to exceed
S2OO. or imprisonment not to exceed
thirty days, or both."
