Only an operation after this stage will be effective, then the eyesight is never trouble which undermines the health The diseases of the eye is another trouble which undermines the health of a child. A child who is cross eyed or short sighted has to strain the eyes to read and in consequence brings on a. whole train of nervous diseases which bother the child dur- ing the whole life. A few diseases'wnzzz; undermine the strength and health of a child are diseases of the nose, throat, ear and also of the eyes. Ear aches are of- ten caused by enlarge-d tonsils.

Each doctor is responsible for from tWO to five schools, or about three thousand pupils. The doctor weighs and makes a careful examina- tion of lungs and other parts of the body.

The first draft of stations will be ready early tomorrow afternoon. This evening the question of transferring minis- ters to and from other Conferences was dealt with, and an inventory of available men for ministerial work was taken. Rev. W. G. Clark, of Port Hope, is president of the con- ference. Mrs. E. E. Sharpe spent yesterday in Bobcaygeon visiting children, the wards of the Children's Aid Society. BAY OF QUINTE CONFERENCE OPENED The trouble was no doubt caused by the town laying a. 16 inch tile across Ridout-st. to connect with a box drain 2feet deep and four foot wide, which runs along Lindsay-st. and through Dr. Blanchard's property. Last night this box drain was comâ€" pletely filled with water, in fact it was running over the top. The tile was not large enough to carry such aflow, and of course it backed up and caused the damage referred to. At the time the tile was being laid across Ridout-st., many citizens ex- pressed the opinion that it v10uld not do what was expected of it, and events have proven that they were right. A Post reporter dropped into the doctor’s yard last night and the effects of the flood could be plainly seen. The water rose to a height 01 two feet and entered the lower apart- ments of his residence, causing con- siderable damage. In fact the family has been obliged to vacate this por- tion of the house until such time as the eflects of the floods have dis- appeared. One of the worst sufferers from the recent flood was Dr. Blanchard, who labored all day yesterday in an efiort to get the storm water out of his premises on Ridout.st. Spratt 81.
