Chicago * • 11 EDITORIALS It seems to us that we are striving too much Io defend and protect the criminals and that may be the reason for the continued growth of crime Recently a nightwatchman named Giordianni found a man in the act of burglarizing the building over which he was guard. He tried to arrest him but the man started to run away and Giorlianni shot him. Then they < • arrested the guard on a charge of felonious intent because it seems that > under the law that a private detect- 1 ive may carry a gun but must not fire it. Os all the silly things so far men tioned. this Is the most asinine. It's 1 hard tor us to work up any sympathy 1 for the nun who is caught burglar- 1 ing these days and a bullet or two is just about the right medicine for the 1 epidemic. Qlord'Anni ought to bo 1 given a medal and a raise in salary instead of being paced in jail on a 1 serious charge. Mrs. Oscar M. Pittenger’s letter, dalling attention to the Hfoi'B 1 Indiana clubwomen to raise 350,0041 ' to buy the home of Gene Stratton * I’orter for a elite pii'K,., inuniei* ates several valid reasons for the ' undertaking. east two other- 1 are outstanding. One is that friends 1 and admirers of Mrs. Porter, wheth- 1 er they knew her personally or 1 merely read her books, will find an * opportunity to express in a con crete way their appreciation of what she did to preserve the wild life of ( the state and to interest others in 1 such endeavors. Another is that the place she called Limberlost is an ideal < park site. Mrs. Porter wished to give . this property to the state, but she was financially unable to do so during v her life time, and when she w as killed suddenly in an automobile accident, t last December, she had not made plans g for the futurq She vaued Limberlost at 375.000. Rs?..'..state is willing to 3 sell it for park purposes for 350.000. a It includes 120 acres, forty of which are woodland, and there is a half c mile of frontage on Sylvan Lake in 7 Noble county. The spacious Limberlost cabin where Mrs. Porter lived 1 r and worked, is included. Mrs. Pittenger points out that the garage could o be remedied to provide sleeping rooms tqr tourists at the park. No money 1 I is being asked from the state to purchase this tract. Mrs. Porter loved it, planted trees and flowers there and knew every foot of it intimately. • Limberlost is said to contain species I of every plant that grows in Indiana, j It is now proposed that the persons 1 who love nature contribute to a fund I that will make this property a state 1 park. A gift of SIO,OOO has been btom- ’ ised to start the list and the remain- . ing $40,000 should not be difficult to get. The state owns practically no lake frontage that is open to the public, and the beach along Sylvan lake in Limberlost gives the tract an additional value. This campaign, begun j on Mrs. Porter’s birthday, ought to ( meet with success. —Indianapolis News The crime wave and taxes are two of the problems which seem to be worrying everybody every where and , both arc serious but both are curable z if enough good people really start in Hto correct them. If you slow up crime you will lessen the taxes for much

j of your money is necessarily spent to I protect you agaiuat thpae who would ’ rob. steal or murder. It is doubtful J If the crime problem will be solved In whole or part until we get back to a saner course, to more devout worship, to a united tendency to work for the better citizenship that the old fashioned church teaches. The church is a dependable part of every community and every nation, even when figured from an economic point of view. The government has sent an army of revenue officers into Florida to collect taxes on the frequent real estate deals and to find out definitely whether or not these stories of big profits are true. Some of the deals, will no doubt dwindle considerably when the boys state them for the income taxes It will probably be necessary to send some more fellows down soon to check up the first crew and it may be as difficult a job as watching the bootleggers. The Elks are all set for a week of fun and the festival opens on Couit street next Monday. The public is invited and those who attend are as. sured of a good time. The affair Is conducted with the hope of providing a. good time and earning some money to be used for the new home. The boys have worked bard and will try their byst to please every one. William Jennings Bryan. Jr., and Robert Lafollette, Jr., have each issued statements they will take the places of their late distinguished fathers Nope boys, you [probably mean it alright but no one will ever just fill the place of either Bryan or Lafollette. If you succeed you will make your own place and usually it's more difficult to do when you try to imitate some one else, even your dad. o >***»*«**»«*****( ♦ 4 ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 4 4 — 4 ♦ From the Dally Democrat file 4 ♦ Twenty years ago this day 4 . ♦ 4 *4>«*»*«*******4 (tug.

KEEPING WELL ' GRANULATED EYELIDS DM. FRHIIICRIt K H. OHKB> IMttor at ‘•HEALTH 1 ’

ONE of the most common eye troubles Is what la popularly known as granulated lids. This trouble may be slight and of only ■ few days’ duration or It may be severe, lasting for a long time and causing serious trouble, even blindness. Like all popular name* for diseases, such b» “rheumatism,’’ ’‘lndigestion," and “palpitation of the heart," this term really Include* *everal distinct diseases. A mild form of granulation of the eyelids, common among children, Is what oculists call follicular conjunctivitis. This long name simply means an Inflammation of the conjunctiva, the smooth velvety membrane lining the eyelids. In the healthy, normal eye, thia membrane Is perfectly smooth snd slightly* moist, so that the sensitive eyeball can turn easily and without any friction. The lubrication Is Just like that in the gear bog of an auto- I mobile. When there Is plenty of oil and no sand or dust In the oil, the , gears turn smoothly and noiselessly. But if the gears are rough or broken or If any dirt gets Into the oil, then the lubrication Is bad. the gears pound and grind and get hot. So In the eye. the conjunctiva, which should tie smooth and moist. Is dry and rough. The little blood vessels become congested, small, soft grains appear on the smooth surface, the eyes are Irrl- j fated, red and sensitive to light and the child has pain when he tries tn read or write. In many cases, the trouble Is due to week eyes or defect* of vision, which should be relieved by properly fitting glasses. Another form of granulated lids occurs In what Is called “spring catarrh." I This appears In the spring and early ' summer and often lasts until fall. It Is probably due to the'lrritation caused by the so-called actinic rays of the sun. A somewhat similar condition Is common among firemen, glass workers, workers I» Iron furnaces and steel mills; where the eyes are constantly exposed to strong light and heat. Colored glasses protect the eyes and help this condition. Another form is what Is populsrly rslled ‘‘pink eye.” This Is common In some epidemics of Influenza and Is plainly due to some form of Infection. Lastly and most serious of all Is tra-homa, a very serious and painful Infection, highly contagious and very common hi some parts of the country. But this is Important enough to deserve an article of Its own. <© 1825. Wester® Newspaper Unloa.l ware store and plans to sell general sales during the winter and spring.
