When Mother Falls Ill

The hardest hour in the life of
mother of the house is when she falls
sick, and she lies in bed with the
sense that the household routine is
going wrong and she cannot lift
finger to help the situation. Every
day that she was well she kept the
machinery going, and her household
took all she did for granted and never
thought of a time when she might
not be able TO be the first to rise, the
last to retire; the busy and sunny,
stirring and quickening force, the
"angel in the house." from dawn to
dark says the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal.
Now she lies pale and i'll. and shs
who has done everything for others
can do nothing for herself. Are all
our care and all our love too much
and too good for her? Can the sum
total of all our efforts begin to make
up to her for all she has given u.s.
Truly at such time can all in the
house come into their own, and give
where before they have only taken.

Massage and Eye Exercises

Sometimes you may notice that the
crystals of the eyes look clouded, or
the muscles about the eyes twitch. \
simple way to treat them is to give
the eyes a massage, but it must be
performed with extreme delicacy.
Place the tips of the fingers on the
temples and rest the thumbs lightly
on the eyelids. Begin by increasing
the pressure gradually.
You can do much to strengthen the
eye muscles and fortify them against
possible irritation, as we'll as to in
crease the clearness of vision, if you
give them exercises two or three
times each day, but repeat each only
two or three times during the period
of exercise. Open the eyes slowly,
and bring the glance from the lowest
point of vision to the highest, SO that
your eyes are wide open. Then
gradually lower it until the eyes are
closed After repeating this exercise
two or three times, open the eyes
naturally, so that the eyeballs are
partly visible. Now move them from
side to side, gazing as far as possible
to the right, then to the left. Repeat
this exercise twice, and then, with
the eyelids closed, move eyeballs in
the same directions.-Beauty Seeker,
in Woman's World for June.
