Hardy wan not! only one of the (treat writer" -jf the Victorian era hut akto one of the great writers of tbe first quarter of the 40th ceutury. For a number of years pajt he has been recognized as t!ie moit distinguished living figure In English letters. Born In June, 1840. Mr. Hardy's e-cipttpnally long and successful life of authorship began at the age of 37 and continued until he wa 80, and even then he had not laid axlde his pen forever. A cuuple of years later he wrote a short play which was first produced In his home town by a company of local actors and afterwards found Its way to Londsn. In NLvember. 1034, in 86th year, he took an active Interest in the tni;e production of his dramatic version of his novel "Teas of the D'Urberv.l'eK.'" written 30 years before, sixjii after the book was published In IBM but uever printed or acted until 1824 lOHMKIll.Y AN AKf'IIITECT A remarkable thing about this Dor-cheater genius, who was born and lived and died in the same town one of the towns in his beloved "Wefx" wu that In hti early manhood he gave little Indication of besoming a writer. He wu an architect and stemed destined to remain an architect. Fortunately, however, after having followed his first cboloe of a pralui.j.", for about 10 years, he came to the cross-roads where hi saw, a beckoning aijn leading to letters as his life'.s work Then be became an author--a poet at first, then a novelist, and later a p i t again. In Thomas Hardy'3 derision to write :ru-.e:id or delgn buildings architecture lost a man whose wjrk had already woo public rv:ogn:;toii. but the gain to the 3i1d is beyond estimate. It was a nappy choice, ai-.d from that day Hardy began to build a finer structure than any comprised of br.ck or stone an enduring name in literature. v NEW OFFICERS OF MOOSEHEART LADIES ARE DULY INSTALLED Women ot he M.Teheart Legion held their installation cf QtLeon Tuesday evening In the Moose Hall.

PREVENT BLINDNESS j IN YOUNG CHILDREN In PntHsilTanla It Is tunipursury to Treat Eyes of New ltrn Infants HARKtStKJBO, Pa.. Jan. 13. Oerms that destroy the sight of new-born children cause a large proportion of Infant blindness today in spite of tbe -"oral and legal requirements that they be treated with a nitrate of stiver preparation which promptly destroys such bacteria, according to Or. Theodore B. Appel. "tfcdtr a regulation of the Health Department." he said, "all new-bom bh)es must receive a preventive treatment. The regulation reads: "It shall be the duty of physicians and mldwlres attending, women in confinement to Instill In each eye of the new-born child. as soon as practicable after birth, a t per cent silver nitrate solution, or other approved agent of like character, for the purpose of preventing the disease known as ophthalmia neonatorum " "Parents owe their children an the safeguards that modern science can afford. When It comes to the eyes of the new-bora, tale Is not only a moral obligation but also a legal one. No one has any right to take any chances by disregarding It. It Is a matter of com pulsory routine Because, contrary to popular opinion, there are several types f bacteria which cause discharging eyes and consequent blindness. All babies, therefore, of whatever station or condition must receive this preventive eatment. rupertTasYiIdies' AID ANNUAL MEETING Mm. a li.
