THE FREE
MOVIE
SHOW
AND
IL-
LUSTRATED
LECTURE
GIVEN
BY
THE DEPARTVWENT
OF HEALTH. AT
THE THEATRE
LAST NIGHT
was
a thoroughly
successful
affair. Long
before the appointed
hour
the hall
was
crowded to its capacity
with
a represen-
tative
audience,
and
interest
was
dis-
played
thrcughout,
although
the
beha-
viour in the back
was
by
no
means
as
orderly
as could have been
desited.
The
Navy Band
was in
attendance
and
with
its
excellent
music contributed
largely
toward
the
enjoyment
of
the
evening.
The programme
opened
with selections
by the band and reels of Chaplain
in some
of his most side-spliting
acts,
with piano,
accompaniment,
which
created
much
merriment
and
roars
of. laughter.
The
instructive side of the evening
was intro-
duced with‘an address
by Pharm.
Riney,
U. S.- N.; Sanitation Officer, who explain-
ed the purpose of the occasion
and called
for undivided attention
to the lectyre
on
trachoma (an
eye disease)
which
focilow-
ed by the: Chief
Sanitation
Officer,
Dr.
H. V. Hughens, U.S. N. With the
help
of
slides
showing
the various
stages
of the
disease
Dr.

ed
the

the mediums
of contagion,
the danger-
ous
and
fatal consequences
of the
di-
sease,
the precautions
nccessary
to
pro-.
vide against
it, and
the
means
of
treat-
ment and
cure.
Most case 30l blindness
result from trachowag
the
Dr.
declared,
and the disease was present
to:some
ex-
tent in this
llsland as
shown
through
an
examination
made
at
the
schools
some
time ago
when
15% of the children were
found
to
have
trachoma.
The
expedi-
ency for less
erowded
living, more fresh
air,
and
less
common
use
of
the
same
towel,
basin,
and
such' things
among
several
persons,
was
urged
as conducive
to
minimizing
the. spread
of
the
com-
municable
diseases
sach
as
trachoma.
Many interesting
views-of bad
housing
with resnltant
ills were shown,
also
cas-
es of eyesight
lost
through
trachoma,
as
well as institutions
for the
treatment
of the dread
disease,
and patients
cured.
[t
is
a
very painfalaffdction
the
Dr.
explained
and
requires
long
and
pain-
fal
treatment
which
can..
be
success-
ful
only through cooperation
from
the
sick ones.
The Dr. urged cooperation
here,
‘Twenty
minutes intermission
followed
during which there were distributed
cir-
culars
dealing wit . the
- dangers
from
flies, mosquitoes,
and.trachoml,
and
the
advantages.
of living .in fresh
air.
