Respect for ones elders is a praise

may be carried too far, observes ]. d.
Newsom liz Adventure. On Raga, in
the New Hebrides, it has become quite
bad form TO let ones parents die or
course, 1t is rather difficult to keep
them alive if they fall out Of a tree
and break their necks. or meet shark
while they are swimming about in mid
ocean, and extreme old age is also re-
sponsible for many casualties
Even so, the respected parent must
not die; he must. on the contrary, live
more vitally than ever, and the prac-
tical-minded indlgenes have found a
perfectly simple solution to this awk-
ward problem. They go to the next
village or a neighboring island and buy
a child of the desired sex, whom they
adopt-as their father, mother or
grandparent, as the case may require.
The child is given the deceased's name,
rank and precedence. He is treated
with every mark of respect formerly
accorded the real relative-at least
when the occasion calls for ceremony.

WHAT CAUSES BLIND
NESS?

THE United States census report
i for 1922 shows that there are 52,-
SGT blind persons in this country. In
35,7S8 of these, definite information
was obtained as to the cause of their
blindness.
In 1888 cases, or .3S per cent
blindness was caused by some disease
of the eye, itself, such as cataract In
1923 cases, or 10 per cent, blindness
was the result of some general dis
ease. The principal diseases which
may cause blindness are measles. scar
let fever, diabetes, meningitis, infiu-
enza, Bright's disease, typhoid fever,
and smallpox. Accidents were respon-
sible for 5,913, or Is per cent. Atrophy
of the optic nerve, mysterious condl-
ton in which the nerve of the eye
shrivels up and becomes useless,
caused 1,765 cases, or per cent
Ophthalmia neonatorum, or sore eyes
of newborn babies, caused 1,19S cases,
or per cent. This disease is grad
ually disappearing owing to the pas
sage in most states of laws requir-
ing the use of weak silver nitrate
solution in the eyes Immediately after
birth. Trachoma, or granulated lids,
as it is sometimes called, caused about
the same number of cases as ophthal-
mia neonatorum. Poisoning by wood
alcohol and other poisons was respon-
sible for a considerable number of
cases.
Since the causes of blindness are so
numerous, the prevention of blindness
necessarily covers a wide variety of
subjects. Blindness following con-
tagious diseases can only be prevented
by preventing the diseases which
cause 1t, but accidents can be very
largely prevented by proper precau-
tions. The National Safety council,
by widespread educational campaign
in factories and workshops during the
past ten years. has greatly reduced
the number of accidents to the ewes.
Shields for drilling. filing and grinding
machines, the use of goggles in all
work in which the eyes might be In
jured, and the use of protective screens
for blast furnaces, welding apparatus
and other operations requiring strong
light and high degrees of heat have
greatly reduced the number of eye ac-
cidents.
Don't take any chances with your
eyes. You can't get along without
them either in enjoying your life or in
earning your living.

THANKS to numerous newspaper
L and magazine articles. health talks.
and instruction in the public schools,
IL Is now more generally recognized
than ever before that the human body
is machine which must be wisely
treated and well taken care of If it is
to do good work. But the mind is
still regarded by most people as some
thing strangely mysterious and beyond
understanding.
In the romantic novels which our
grandmothers read, the heroine was
always supposed to have ''brain fever"
whatever that was after the shock of
desertion of her lover, abandonment
by her husband, or whatever other
trials the author subjected her to.
The idea still prevails that mental
conditions are due largely, IL not en-
tirely, to love, grief, separation or 9TH
er purely emotional states.
AS matter of fact, the workings OF
the brain are influenced by the same
condition. as those affecting other
either from within or without the
body, and insufficient or improper
nourishment are responsible for most
cases Of mental breakdown, just as
they are responsible for most serious
affections of the heart, the kidneys or
the stomach.
A careful study of 210 patients in a
hospital for mental cases showed that
80, or 16 per cent, of the cases were
due to direct infections of the brain,
causing some form of meningitis.
These Infections came through the
mouth, the nose, or the ear, and were
preceded, of course. by infection of
some part of the body. In tx per
cent, the mental disorders we're due to
Infections in more distant structures,
such as the teeth, the tonsils, the gall
bladder, or the appendix. In these
cases, the infection was carried to the
brain not directly but by the blood
current. Ten per cent Of the cases

due to some defect in the constitution
al makeup, that Is, to some deficien-
cy at birth Of the brain or some other
part of the body. Five per cent were
due to old age, softening of the brain,
etc.; 81 per cent to gland deficiency,
such as defects of the thyroid gland
In cretins; 10 per cent to defective
food, prolonged physical work, either
in the hot sunshine or under abnormal
heat conditions, to childbirth. and
similar conditions. Only 10 cases, or
about per cent, were due to mental
Shocks unbearable situations. exces-
sive emotions, or great sorrow.
The normal human being is so con-
stituted. mentally and physically, that
he does not give way under mental

able to stand them, most of the hui
man race would be insane.

tailor, or cissor. made clothes of all
