GRADUATED EYELIDs

ONE of the most common eye trou-
bles Is what is popularity known as
graduated lids. This trouble may be
slight and of only few days duration
or 1t may be severe. lasting for long
time and causing serious trouble, even
blindness.
Like all popular names for diseases,
such as rheumatism" indigestion"
and "palpitation of the heart" this
term really includes several distinct
diseases.
A mild form of granulation Of the
eyelids. common among children, is
what oculists call follicuIar conjunc-
tivitis. This long name simply means
an Inflammation of the conjunctiva, the
smooth velvety membrane lining the
eyelids. In the healthy, normal eye
this membrane is perfectly smooth and
slightly moist. so that the sensitive
eyeball can turn easily and without
any friction. The fabrication Is Just
like that In the gear box of an auto
mobile. When there is plenty Of oil
and no sand or dust in the oil, the
gears turn smoothly and noiselessly.
But If the gears are rough or broken
or If any dirt gets into the oil, then
the fabrication Is bad, the gears pound
and grind and get hot.
SO in the eye, the conjunctiva, which
should be smooth and moist, is dry and
rough. The little blood vessels become
congested, small, soft grains appear on
the smooth surface, the eyes are irri-
tated. red and sensitive to light and
the child has pain when he tries to
read or write. In many cases, the trou-
BILE is due to weak eyes or defects Of
vision, which should be relieved by
properly fitting glasses.
Another form of graduated lids 'oc-
ours in what is called "spring catarrh.''
This appears in the spring and early
summer and often lasts until fall. 1t
is probably due to the irritation caused
by the so-called actfnic rays of the
sun. A somewhat similar condition is
common among firemen. glass workers,
workers in iron furnaces and steel
mills. where the eyes are constantly
exposed to strong light and heat. Col
ored glasses protect the eyes and help
this condition.
Another form Is what is popularity
called pink eye" This Is common in
some epidemics Of influenza, and is
plainly due to some form of infection.
Lastly and most serious of all IS
trachoma, very serious and painful
Infection. highly contagious and very
common in some parts Of the country.
But this is important enough to de-
serve an article Of its own.

until Ruth could not even see over the
top of the eavetrough. When they
came to the gutter pipe which, when
1t rained, drained the water from off
the roof and into the cistern, they
paused to make sure that the para
ehutes were tied on tight
Then into the drain pipe they skated.
They shot along as though they were
on big roller coaster. Around bends,
across open spots, faster and faster
they rolled. Finally, with rattle of
skates against the edge of the iron
drain pipe, they hurtled out from the
mouth of it into the cistern. Their
parachutes opened. Down they floated.
At first Ruth thought that they were
sinking onto an island of colored
leaves. As she got nearer to the sur
face of the water she saw that it was
full of tiny boats. In all of these
boats were Crockeyjoys, young and
old, and all dressed in the fanciest
and oldest Of costumes.
at Is Mardi Gras week in Crockey-
Joy Land" said the kindly old man to
her. BE careful as you come down
and one of the boatmen will push his
gondola right under you SO that you
won't even get your feet wet
Ruth sank gently down, right into
a boat, as the old Crockeyjoy had said.
The boatman at once pushed his craft
along in and out among the other yes
sells. Ruth enjoyed her voyage very
much. There was great deal to see.
Twinkling lights wre dancing. Mando-
Inns were stunning. The air was
full of the odor of roses and of strange
perfumes.
Tum-t -ta-tum-tar mando-
lin music grew louder and louder.
Ruth Strengthened up in her seat
She opened her eyes and found herself
back in her fathers big chair The
music kept on, though, because the
orchestra at the big hotel sending sta
ton had started to broadcast the eve
ning's program.
When Ruth's father came home he
found her still curled up in the big
chair. Though 1t was long past her
bedtime, she demurred just a little as
her father picked her up in his arms
and laughingly carried her of to bed.

Famous Shoes Did Not

Officials of the British museum have
rather humdrum time Of 1t and their

however, little humor creeps in. A

the owner had an important discovery

duced from his tail pocket a pair Of
worn and shabby shoes. Equal to the
occasion, the official blandly replied:

DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
WHAT KILLS BABIEs2

20. 1925. Western Newspa per Union.)

II HE United States government has
= complied and issued many bulletins
on wheat crops, corn crops, hay crops,
and potato crops. Now 1t has gotten
around to investigating the most valu-
able crop of all, the baby crop.
What kills babies? We know, from
the latest reports of the census bu-
reau, that $4,000 babies less than one
year old die every year in this coun.
try. Over half of this appalling num-
ber or $4,000, die in the first month.
1t does no good to know this. It
simply shocks us. To be of any value
we must know what are the causes.
1t is of course impossible to collect
and tabulate the cause Of death of
each baby In this enormous total, two
and one-haIf times as many lives
every year as this country lost in the
World war. But the children's bu-
reau of the Department Of Labor has
just completed a study Of $4,000
babies born In eight American cities.
This survey may be taken as basis,
since the causes of death among so
large a number may fairly be con-
sidered an average for the entire
country.
From this report some interesting
facts can be assumed.
The mortality for male babies Ia
one-fourth higher than for female
babies. The mortality is highest In
the first month Of life and steadily
decreases each month. For the first
month, the rate is 44.8; for the second
9.3; and for the third AS. So the
longer a baby lives the better chance
1t has.
Nearly one-third of the deaths In
the first year are due to conditions
before and Immediately after birth,
such as premature birth, failure or
defects of development and lack of
strength.
The time in the year when baby
is born has much to do with Its
chances of living. Babies bern In
June have the poorest chance, those
born in August the best. Maybe
there's something, after all, in the old
idea of the astrologers about being
born under lucky star.
First born children, contrary to the
popular idea, have a higher mortality
than the second born.
The death rate for premature babies
is over six times as high as for babies
born at the natural time.
The death rate among twins and
triplets is much higher than for single
babies
The highest death rate Of all is for
babies born within a year of the last
preceding baby. while the lowest
death rate is for babies born after a
period Of at least four years.
Four times as many bottle-fed
babies die as compared with breast
fed babies. Man has never produced
as good as healthy mother
for baby feeder.

D UTH had climbed into the big easy

theirs radio set. After she had ad-
justed the earpieces to suit her fancy,
she leaned back in the soft cushions
and listened For some time she could
hear nothing. Then all at once she
thought some one was family calling
her name. Over and over, louder and
louder it grew.
1t was sweet, clear voice and to
Ruth it had little joyous tinkle which
was hauntingly familiar.
do you want to go to a Crockeyjoy
party?" said the voice at last, very
clearly. Then Ruth knew that 1t was
the kindly old Crockeyjoy, and she
wondered why she had not been able
TO tell his voice sooner.
She wanted very much to go to the
party, so she listened, and then did
just what the Crockeyjoy told her..
First she walked out of the window
and over the edge of the fiat roof
which ran all the way across the back
part of her home. Once there, she
sat down and waited. Sure enough,
the Crockeyjoy came to meet her.
Under his arm he carried two pairs
of roller skates and what looked like
two umbrellas without handles.
Put on the skates" he said to Ruth,
"and fasten the cord of one Of these
.parachutes around your waist; then
wen hurry on down to the party"
Ruth put on the skates and took
hold of the Crockeyjoy's hand and away
they skated. AS they went they grew
smaller and it was only a few seconds

Of Speech Before
KiWanians Monday

Rev f. A. Pollard Jones was the
speaker at the regular meeting of the
Kiwanis club last evening. Mr.. Jones
toll of his visit to England during the
summer while he was on a trip to
the other side. He described Eng
land as land of contrasts, where
nine tenths of all the land of Eng
land and on the other the poor COM
prising nine tenths of the people. OF
the great estates owned by the veal
thy and of the poor who live In the
great city of London and who never

leges which are at Cambridge and at
Oxford, of the various shrines which
all who go to England wish to visit
and spoke of the present day con-
ditions in that country with its great
army of unemployed who are living
on the government doles. He de-
cIared that the people of England
looked discouraged and that they ap-
peared tired and sick. Industry Is at
4 standstill and the people are taxed
far heavier than the people of this
country. For INSTANCE the ordinary
Ford which costs about $500 in Eng
land Is taxed $40 a year, while the
tax on higher priced and higher
powered cars is far greater. The
result is that there are many small
