In this connection State Health
Officer Collins urges a rigid med-

the local health authorities.
It is pointed ont that trachoma
which is an affection of the eye in
childhood often results in blind-
ness to the extent that the child’s
efficiency is decreased to the
minimum, and the child often
becomes a ward of the state.
The department advises all

was pointed out by Hon. Leonard
Tillotson, in a speech, that Sealy
could not hope to get the road
unless they built the bridge. It
is estimated that at least one

son also gave some idea as to the
cost of construction through (
this county, the distance to be ,
traversed is about 29 miles. In ;
this road district there are about
12 miles, and he said this stretch
could be clayed for about $250.00
a mile. In the Cat Spring
section it will cost, according to
Mr. Tillotson’s estimate, from
$500 to $1000 a mile; and in the
New Ulm district from $1000 to
$1500 a mile
As Sealy has the money to
. build the road, the main proposi-
tion is to secure the bridge.

will meet in the Bohemian Pres-
byterian Church in Sealy on
Saturday Oct. 23 at 3 p. m. and
