 Cataract
 Kindly advise if cataracts once operated on form again? G. P.) Answer-No. Cataract is Q cloud- ing of the crystalline lens within the eyeball, not growth of film over the eye. The lens is removed by operation, and thereafter the pa- tient has comfortable vision with the aid of suitable spectacles. Cataract once removed never returns.
 Tobacco and Blood Sugar

 Answer-I do not know. A smoke does cause a slight rise in the amount of sugar. in the blood. h. haling increases the effect because inhaling exposes a larger area of mucous membrane to the smoke and hence more is absorbed in a given time. The rise in blood sugar lasts fifteen or twenty minutes.

we call laziness. Frequently, the child is not well, usually tired from malnutrition, lack of sleep, over work at school, or poisoned by dis eased teeth or tonsils. Serious dis eases are less frequent, but they should always be considered. One condition so often overlooked is im- paired hearing. The dreamy, quiet state mistaken for laZiness may be merely the reaction caused by not hearing what is said or going on.
 Investigation may show that the parents are at fault. One instance of this would be the child who has had everything done for him at home. Consequently, he expects service outside, for it is the only life he knows. Given definite re- responsibilities early in life is good preventive measure, but it must be accompanied by one thing. Let the child know and enjoy his successes, small though they may be. A duty is not sufficient in itself. The child yearns for recognition, especially by parents and teachers, for having performed that duty. You can afford to overlook many failures, if you notice the successes.

blackhead has made its appearance. During cold weather, the skin around the upper arms and thighs often develops little horny plugs where the pores have been clogged, preventing the normal excretion of oil and body waste. Then too, there is always that constant shedding of dead scales. A good rub with 8 brush hastens their departure and makes way for a fresh new layer of skin.
 In selecting your bath brush, make certain that it has a long handle, especially curved to fit the back. It will work wonders in eradicating the effects of skin blem- ishes caused by the friction of fab rics. A brush made by a we'll known firm has grand maple ham, dle with a head that slips off and has strap for scrubbing immedi- ate areas.
 The soft, white bristles are re- spectors of delicate skins and yet are firm enough to thoroughly rout any foreign particles which may have lodged on the back or any, where else on the body they may have found resting place.
 In securing the skin, use warm water-if it is hard, soften it with almond meal, starch or one of the water softeners. Use a toilet soap, and warm water and get up gen. erous lather. Begin by working on the spine, thoroughly massaging the

GIOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

If your nail polish peels be- tween manicures, face powder re- fuses to stay on even for an hour and lipstick seems to disappear in no time at all you ought to take yourself to task about the way you apply cosmetics. Provided you pick reliable brands, there's no reason in the world why you shouldn't get satisfactory results.
 Remember that lipstick won't cling and remain smooth if your lips are wet, or even moist, when you blend it on. Dry them care- fully with a piece of cleansing tissue, apply the lipstick, let it set for a minute or two, then wipe off the surplus before moistening with your tongue.
 Incidentally, wetting your lips too frequently isn't exactly a pretty habit, and, in cold weather, is likely. to cause rough edges. However, you ought to do it often enough to keep them shiny and healthy looking. Exceedingly dry lips simply aren't beautiful.
 AS for powder, please do insist on, brand that suits your own com- plexion. Try several varieties as well, as several shades until you get one. that suits. Keep in mind that any, powder is more satisfactory if ap- piled over a foundation lotion or cream base.
 When it comes to nail polish. realize that each nail should be clean and perfectly dry before you touch it with the lacquer. A thin layer of oil or a bit of moist ure will prevent the polish from sticking. If, in spite of meticulous care and precaUtion on your part, you still have bad luck with your polish try a few other brands. You're sure to discover one which will please,

 Your Children
PRE- SCHOOL YEARS
 ARE NEGLECTED AGE
By Olive Roberts Barton

hfkE NEUAEN 4ED A0H Many mothers, previously 50 ob- servant of a regular schedule for the toddler, are prone under pres sure of busy family life, to leave the two-to-six child to hs own devices. Thus the guardians of child health refer almost correctly to the pre-school age as the neglected age"
 Perhaps the child of five or six may be allowed much latitude, but regular routine before that is not only necessary to health but habit. And physical habit is the founda- ton of character.
 Again I quote hourly time tables suggested in "The Child from One to Six" the booklet issued by the Children bureau. Yesterday optional schedules for the second year were given. The following take up at ap- proximately the afternoon nap as suits the mothers convenience. AS usual habits of cleanliness are en- phasized.
 When morning nap IS deslrable:
 Schedule
 2 a.m.-Toilet. Brush teeth. Wash hands and face. Dress.
 7:30 a. m.-Breakfast. Toilet for bowel movement. Wash hands.
 800 a. m.-BreakfaSt. Toilet for bowel movement. Wash hands. Out of doors as soon after breakfast as weat. CT permits. Play in sun when possible.
 11:45 a. m.-Toilet. Wash hands and face.
 12:00 noon-Dinner.

 2:30 D. m.-Toilet. Wash hands. Milk or fruit if needed. Out of doors as long as weather permits. Play in sun when possible.

regularly take off from ten to thirty pounds of excess weight and without any restriction of the child's diet, which is obviously an important ad- vantage, for it is always a serious matter to attempt any restriction in diet in a growing child, no matter what the object may be.
 It is always serious matter, too, to give thyroid treatment to an adult, and whenever such treatment is used the patient must be under medical observation constantly. Any one who ventures to take thyroid in any form without medical super vision is gambling not only with health but with life itself.
 Fortunately, these short fat chil- dren tolerate thyroid better than do hypothyroid adults. Such child, normal in every other respect, nor- nal or perhaps above normal in inc telligence, will fairly sprout up un- der thyroid therapy.
 Besides thyroid therapy, in some cases treatment with pituitary and with thymus gland hormones may give excellent results.
 A boy aged IA years with stunted growth grew 9A inches taller in three years on thymus treatment. A girl aged Il thirty pounds over- weight was normal in weight after six months of thyroid treatment. A girl of eleven, dwarfed in height, gained eight inches in stature in two years of pituitary treatment.
 In certain cases where there is failure to grow in height, the child is also underweight. A child 3 1-2 years of age was AZ inches shorter than normal and weighed only 20h pounds, scarcely as much as a healthy baby year old should weigh. This child grew three inches and doubled her weight in six months on pituitary treatment.
 I mention these instances in the hope that the information may help parents who are anxious about chil- dren with such deficiencies. I can't tell you any more about it, and I certainly advise you not to attempt to use such remedies without medi- cal supervision. But am always glad to give any physician, that is, any doctor of medicine who is in good standing in the profession, whatever information, data or ref erences may have, on his request.

Before the baby comes, the mother should assemble the ma terials that will be required at child birth. If she is going to hospital, she will need at least two night gowns, a bathroble, two pairs of stockings, pair of slippers, few hankerchiefs, a tooth brush, some toothpaste or toothpowder a comb, and a brush.
 In most hospitals, the baby's clothes are provided until the baby is ready to leave. The day before the mother expects to leave the hospital with her baby, someone should bring her a shirt, band a petticoat or bathrobe, a pair of of stockings, pair of slippers, a few handkerchiefs, tooth brush, some tooth paste or tooth powder, . comb, and brush.

THE SHORT FAT CHILD

Certain children are apparently normal in every way except that they do not grow normally in height. They are not cretinoid in appearance, that is, they show none of the signs which are characteristic of cretinism, congenital deficiency of thyroid gland function. Some of those children are not only short but much too fat, although they present few or none of the evidences of hypothyroidism or functional de- ficiency of the thyroid gland which are so common in adults who are too fat.
 Yet thyroid treatment of these short fat children is remarkably ef- fective. With it the physician can

PROTESTS REMOVAL
OF BEACH PATROL

Editor, The Citizen:
Through the pages of The Citi-
zen I wish to express my appre-
citation of the work done by mem
bers of the former beach patrol
and to protest about their re-
moval as a saving measure.
The helpfulness, cheerfulness,
and careful supervision of these
men has assisted in making swim
ming at the beaches and sub basin
one of the most enjoyable fea-
lures of a vacation in Key West.
In addition, their presence was
a safety measure which added
greatly to the freedom with which
amateur swimmers, particularly,
could enjoy this recreation.
Not only is their presence I'M
portant in case of accident, but
also in helping prevent accidents
by their careful supervision.
1t is surely better to retain
these guards who have special
training in rescue work than to
save the small amount they are
paid, and run great risk of acct
dent and possible deaths from
drowning because of lack of pro-
per first aid treatment.
Many of my friends among this
seasons visitors, as well as among
residents of Key West, join me
in hoping that members of the
beach patrol will be put back on
duty. ,.F
