WOMAN,S REALM
Glorifing
Yourself
By Alicia Hart

NEA Service STAFF Writer
At about this time in the summer
season the eyes Of the majority Of
women begin to show unfiattering
results Of too much sunshine, guam
titles OF dust and lack of adequate
rest and sleep, due to the hot
weather.
This, then, Is the day to get a
jar Of special nourishing cream for
the skin around your eyes, a bottle
of soothing eye lotion and to plan
to wear colored glasses more con-
scientiously. Also to resolve to
learn to let your eyes rest once you
get into bed-whether you can go
to sleep or not-and to be more
considerate of them during the day.
For instance, on a very hot night,
it might be good idea to go to
bed with cotton pads that have been
wrung- out In cold eye lotion on
your eyes. Leave them on until
you know that you are about to
fall asleep. If you do not move
them around, they won't interfere
with the cream you put around your
eyes right after you cleaned your
face. However, If your eyes are
verw tired, try wringing the cotton
pads out in hot lotion instead OF
cold.
After a long drive, a strenuous
game of golf or a particularly diff
cult day at the office, wash your
eyes with lotion, use one hot appli-
cation on eyelids and see how much
more rested you feel, how much
more sparkling your eyes are.
Don't read page after page Of
fine type without once looking up
and away from the book or maya
zine. It's a good idea to look into
some far corner of the room each
time you turn page. Also, don't
sit and stare at one object for
long period of time. Change your
focal point frequently. And blinking
now and then really does relax taut
eye muscles.
If an eye specialist tells you that
you need glasses, by all means get
them. Furthermore, wear them as
he directed. Straining your eyes to
read a printed page or, because of
near -sightedness, being unable to
identify person across room, are
both worse than wearing spectacles.
Especially modern spectacles which,
If chosen wisely, can be flattering.

All really big people have this

A Common Situation
Lefty really likes Mable, who
has only two dresses to her name
and lives in a poor quarter of
town. Mable must have some
thing fine about her for our Lefty
to love her so. Then why must
we compel our child to give her
up. just because our friends with
their worldly views think we are
crazy? Their own children may
be good and kind, but again they
may be the meanest little snobs
alive. Maybe they will drop Lefty
for having such a friend. This
Is always problem when it hap
pens. Boys are permitted so much
more latitude in mixing than girls
usually are.
I think this situation confronts
almost every mother sometimes.

Is hard to fight. And so what

CAUSE AND TREATMENT OF
CONICAL CORNEA

A on-inf1ammatory conical pro-
trusion of the center of the cornea
or front of the eyeball Is called
conical cornea or keratoconus.
1t is not frequent, and occurs usu-
ally in young women.
1t never causes any serious trou-
BILE, but generally produces consid-
cradle myopia or nearsightedness
and astigmatism. 1t is difficult to
give satisfactory vision no matter
how carefully glasses may be fitted
nor how often they may be changed.
Heretofore the most effective
treatment has been electrocauteri-
zation to flatten the apex of the
cone and give more nearly normal
curvature to the cornea.
Recently 1t has been found that
keratoconus may be produced in
animals which are fed with a diet
deficient in calcium and vitamin D.
Twelve patients with keratoconus
have received calcium and vitamin
D to supplement their ordinary diet.
OF these cases, reported by Dr.
Arthur A. Knapp, all have shown
improvement and by acurate meas
urements at regular intervals over
period of many months a reduc-
ton in the height of the cone was
recorded.
The amount of calcium required
varies inversely with the amount of
milk, cheese, beans, peas and other
high-calcium foods in the diet. The
amount of vitamin D daily for each
patient averages around 10000 units.
AS DR.. Knapp remarks: The adj
ministration of vitamin D and cal
cium in this condition has given
gratifying results. In fact, the re-
suits apparently are so encouraging
that it may be we have come upon
factor or the factor in the etiol-
ogy Of this perplexing condition.
Once more, I have a monograph
which is available to any CORE
spondent who asks for it and in
closes a three-cent stamped en-
velope bearing his address. 1t is
High Calcium Diet, Calcium Feed
ing and the Vitamins Everybody
Needs. 1t gives detailed instructions
for taking calcium and phosphorus
and the sunshine vitamin D which
is essential for the metabolism, alb
sorption, utilization of these ele-
ments in the body.

We may say of the calcium vita
min D treatment of keratoconus
tina teven If it fails to do any good
at least it can't do any harm. Not
withstanding some earlier theoreti-
cal fears, we are satisfied now that
daily consumption of from 10000
to $4,000 units of vitamin D over
a period of months or years is alb
solutely harmless. AS for taking
calcium and phosphorus to supple
ment the diet which is generally
deficient in these elements, it may
be accepted as established that If
more than the body needs or can
use to advantage is taken the ex-
cess is readily excreted and never
deposited in any tissue where it is
not needed.

KEEP PICNIC LUNCH DAINTY

Barring thunder showers and
other unforeseen calamities, a picnic
lunch served attractively and kept
appetizingly fresh, is the best insur-
ance for the success of an outdoor
party. Decorated paper plates, nap
kins, cups, neatly packaged in trans
parent wrapping, are dainty, clean
and sanitary. Cut sheets, bags and
envelopes of moisture-proof film
keep food fresh, favors intact, and
are economical too, since they may

used over again. And don't forget
a supply of bright-colored, trans

CHARLES HAMLIN
 DIES YESTERDAY

Washing ton, April 25 - U.PD - Funeral services will be held here today for Charles Sumner Hamlin, 76, assistant secretary of the treas ury under two presidents and first governor of the Federal Reserve board. He died at his home here yesterday after a short illness. He was a native of Boston. Private burial services will be held there tomorrow. He was appointed assist ant secretary of the treasury during Grover Cleveland's second term. Later, his close friend, Woodrow Wilson, named him to the same post in his cabinet.
 When the Federal Reserve Board was established, he was named the first governor. When he relinquished the chairmanship, he remained a member of the board until two years ago when he resigned to become special counsel.
 He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Huybertie Lansing Pruyn Hamlin, who maintains summer home at Mattapoisett, Mass.

this afternoon. He has already made two appearances before the jury, the last being on Friday afternoon.
 With the calling of Willard, and the expectation of FitzGerald, there is evidence that the jury is return ing once again to the investigation of tactics employed by lobbyists in at least the 1885 and 1887 sessions of the General Assembly.
 Local Angles of Probe
 Witness lists show that during the past few weeks the jury has con- centrated on purely local angles oi the probe. It is believed that during this week at least special attention will be paid to matters relative tc the city, which involve out-o town people.
 Early predictions that the jury would wind up its probe within a few weeks seem to be incorrect, what with the present indications that the jury will delve deeply into the election, lobbying, missing records and possibly such rackets as horse race bookies and lotteries. One-hun- dred and twenty witnesses have beer called thus far, and there is possi- bility that this list will be doubled before the probe is completed.
 It is apparent that the jury ane the Alcorn staff are satisfied witt the probe to date.

SLOOP RIG PIANO MET WITH MISHAP

Noank, Conn.,, April 25-(UP)- John Niven, ordinary heaman of the sea scout ship Dauntless had the distinction today of being the first navigator to put to sea in a sloop rig piano.
 Niven, with two friends, attempt ed to move the small grand piano in two row boats, via Long Island sound, to his summer home at Goat poin, off Mystic.
 Two piano legs were in one boat and the third in the othre craft The storm tides caught them near Latimers reef and threatened to drop the instrument into the sea.
 Niven, friends said, raised the piano cover and attempted to navi- gate the f1otilla by using the lid as a sail and one oar as a rudder Night came on and a gale wind Niven, in distress, sent up flares.
 The signals went unanswered and IS hours after the strange combin- ation left Noank, the piano, boats and three seamen landed on the rocks of Latimer's reef, near an old private's cave.
 The piano was wreck from sea water and sun and Niven abandon ed to the elements.
