WORLD-FAMOUS EYE DOCTOR TO EXAMINE KING Siamese Ruler on Way to Unique Institution at Baltimore. B‘t United Prtaa BALTIMORE, Md., April 24.—An unique medical institution is ready here to aid a half-blind king. King Prajadhlpok of Siam has traveled half way around the world to obtain the judgment of Dr. William Holland Wilmer regarding the cataracts which obstruct vision in one of his eyes and obscure it in another. Dr. Wilmer merely will examine the royal patient. A subsequent operation is to be performed in New York by Dr. John i Wheeler. The Wilmer institute is part of i Johns Hopkins hospital here and, is primarily for research and the training of eye specialists although ! it has seventy-two beds for patients. Aided by Grateful Friends Dr. Wilmer, in whose behalf it was j built, formerly practised in Washington. A group of grateful patients and friends of the famous surgeon acting under the leadership of Mrs Henry Breckinridge of Washington raised $1,500,000 at the rate of SSOO - 000 a month in 1922 to match a gift of $1,500,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation. T.is institute was opened in 1925 and in 1928 moved into its new building on the hospital grounds. j Clamor for Admittance Sufferers from eye troubles clamor for admittance to this unusual institution where, it is noted no effort is made to treat the ear and throat. Institution and staff are dedicated to diseases of the Dr. Wilmer discouraged the idea of appealing to former patients for ;

funds with which to create such an institution of research. Mrs. Breckenridge says he refused to give her a list of patients or otherwise to co-operate. But a Negro servant who had been with the Wilmer family for many years disregarded his master’s desires and from time to time gave Mrs. Breckenridge the names of former patients. From this Negro and other sources a list was compiled and the fund finally was raised in three months.

Bully Time Just 786 Broken Bottles After Fun Is Over in Pop Factory.

By United Presa CHICAGO, April 24.—A bull in a china shop is bad enough, but a bull in a soda pop factory is worse. Ask Cowman William Frazier of Omaha, Neb., whose bull escaped from a truck here Thursday, smelled the nice smells coming from the Ziff bottling works, entered and made short work of the soda pop bottles therein. When the crashes inside became unbearable to the sensitive eardrums of Frazier, the Nebraska ranchero tiptoed in after his bull, only to come flying out the door just as the doughty detectives, Raaloff, Feldman and Graham, drove up. They proved themselves bull throwers all, by capturing Frazier’s bull and holding it safely while he negotiated with the Ziff Bottling Company for the purchase of 786 splintered soda pop bottles. twice a week; brush teeth night and morning; exercise out of doors two hours daily when the weather permits; have all physical defects corrected; daily elimination of waste material from the body and eat some fruit and green vegetables daily.

scendants surviving Into middle life and old age than there are of us. This was the promise held out by Dr. Leo K. Frankel of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, in an address here before the annual meeting of the American Philosophical Society. Dr. Frankel’s paper was part of an all-day symposium on the general subject, “The Chancing World.” Because more parents will survive to the full life term, there will be fewer orphans, and asylums for these unlucky children will disappear, he said. There will be less relief work needed for the indigent, and because the medical profession will
