full Boston merchant who willed over
one million dollars to the coop move
ment, said:
Christmas is our most natural and
most human day. 1t is the day of
gifts. Why not?
"It is the day of Christian adora-

Peace and Good Will. Why not?
christmas, therefore, cannot and

believe in it. Although only one day
out of three hundred and sixty-five,
it is destined to conquer the rest of

Let us so develop, regulate and

poverty for none. This should be
the real Christmas and democratic
way This will help to establish Peace

GlaucOma.

Glaucoma ranks third in the causes
of blindness in Minnesota but is
both preventable and durable. The
federal and state governments are
paying large sums of money in PEN
sions for the blind. Life for many
individuals becomes less useful and
hence less happy.
Glaucoma is condition in which
the pressure within the eye is so
great that it produces hardening of
the eyeball and the optic nerve is
gradually destroyed. A dead optic
nerve cannot function. Either the
fluids which nourish the eye are pro-
duced excessively or they cannot flow
through the eye as they should. Some
times both these conditions prevail.
In children the eyeball has a certain
elasticity which diminishes with age.
Therefore glaucoma is more frequent
among individuals after the age of
forty and it affects both sexes about
equally.
May be Affected from Birth.
Children may have glaucoma from
birth due to deformity in the eye
ball. This occurs infrequently but
is much more difficult to remedy
than in adults. Although glaucoma
has been recognized as a frequent
cause of blindness for over 100 years,
it is only within the last 20 that eye
surgeons have been successful in
treating it.
In its chronic form glaucoma is
deceptive because it is non-inflam-
matory and often painless. A dull

headache, seeing haloes around lights
misty and blurred vision, congested
and bloodshot eyeballs, are danger
signals. If patient is not getting
satisfaction from his glasses or if his
field of vision to one side or the other
is diminished, so that he sees only
objects directly in front of him, an
eye examination is needed. A patient
with acute glaucoma is not likely to
neglect it as that form is very pain
full and inflammatory.
Heed Symptoms.
Glaucoma must first be discovered
before it can be treated. Patients are
often needless about symptoms and
think glasses will cure most of the
eye troubles. Some buy glasses as
they do clothing; they try them on
and think they will do but fail to OBJ
tain complete eye examination. A
patient may become quite blind in
one eye before he consults a ply
stefan.
Only a trained eye physician can
recognize glaucoma in the beginning
stages. He takes history of the
case and carefully examines the in
terror as we'll as the exterior of the
eye. He tests both the vision and
field of vision. He has an instrument
for measuring the hardness of the
eyeball but measurements of pres
sure are not sure index of damage
One person may tolerate a higher
tension than another. Examination
of the visual fields, the appearance OF
the optic nerve, and other routine
medical tests are the basis of dag
nosiS.
Medicine May Help.
In the earliest stages, glaucoma can
sometimes be controlled with medi-
cine but never with certainty and
only with very frequent examination
of the eyes. In the great majority OF
cases surgery will control the con-
dition if done early before advanced
nerve changes have occurred within
the eye. Operations to permit the
escape of fluids from the eye so that
a balance between production and es-
cape of fluid can be maintained are
being done successfully every day
by competent medical eye specialists.
