An Eye 111 to Treat Promptly

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. OUR eyes mean so much to us and many of us do not fully appreciate that fact until we have some trouble with our sight. T/iat is' why our eyes should not be neglected. Gls ucoma is one of the eye troubles for which we should be on the lookout. lit is a disorder of the eye in which the pressure of the fluid within the eyeball is increased. Unfortunately, the exact cause of this disorder is not as yet known. However, if treated properly and early, much can be done for this condition. • Some cases of glaucoma are very serious, while many remain mild in nature. The recognition of this latter fact is of great benefit to the patient's mental attitude, in some instances, the eyesight remains unchanged over an indefinite period Drs. Posner and Schlossman have reported on over 370 cases of glaucoma. The pressure within the eyeball remained only slightly increased in 40. They suggest that examination of the eyeball tension be made in all persons orer 40 years of age. and I think this is a good thing for j all of us to keep in mind. If the tension is at all increased, further investigation of the condi tion of the eyes should be carried out at once. Any difference in tension between the eyes is a sign of I importance which the doctor knows ( demands investigation. Another important sign is varia- 1 tion of pressure within th* eyeball. I evsn though the pressure does not seem to be abnormally high And t it i* an important thing for all per < sons to know that there seems to i

of helping build good, American citizens, for it teaches the finest preempts of home and church. o o— The McMillen Foundation has pledged more than $103,000 toward (building a $250,000 county hospital at Gibson City, 111., where the Central Soya Company, has a modern plant. Work on the hospital is expected to get started next year and the community will no doubt be grateful for the institution and the services that it will render to the people. A good hospital is needed in every county, for it seems that mankind must battle illness and desease as one of the fundamentals of life. But a hospital also has a bright side, for i there the babies arrive and ill ! bodies come away renewed and happy. i —•—o— —o I Predicting tiiat Russian-Ameri- | can tension will subside, and that ' war will not occur. Dr. Carl J. ; Friedrich, professor of government i at Harvard University and former adviser to the American Military , ' Government of Germany, stated I I that war talk is the result of a ; rumor campaign instigated by 1 Communis: s. Such rumors are designed to break down the morale s 1 of the democratic peoples, declared Dr. Friedrich. He said, also, s t that Russia lost the Battle of BerJ lin last summer, and in so doing , f lost the battle for Germany and the battle for Europe. o—o—n i* r Berlin Strategy: Into the dispute over why Bri- 1 tish and American troops did not take Berlin at the end of the war. instead of Russian troops, General Dwight Eisenhower has tossed . a new answer. In his book. "Crusade in Europe." Eisenhower says |:hat he. as supreme commander, I ordered the Anglo-American forces i rot to go to Berlin and that he did i so for purely strategical reasons. It has been said that the heads i of state of the Allied governments 1 agreed at Yalta that Russian I troops should be allowed to take I Berlin. This was denied by the: late Harry L. Hopkins in his pap-! ers; he said the Western armies ran beyond their supply lines and 1 so had to stop short of -Berlin. Xow Eisenhower says that Winston Churchill, then prime minister !of Great Britain, made a strong effort at the time to have Anglo- | American forces take Berlin, but I that Eisenhower vetoed ■the idea « | because it did not fit into the mill- < I tary (plan for overrunning Germany and smashing the German | armies. There may be still.other explanations to be advanced for the way I the war ended. Future historians i may have a difficult time untang- 1 ! ling them. I

be a great deal of evidence that glaucoma tends to run in families. The symptoms of this condition vary to a great extent. There may ' be occasional blurring of the eyesigst. some discomfort within the eye, excessive tearing, the seeing of a halo around lights, and difficulty in reading. Congestion of the eyeball is» usually present. Sometimes the only sign of the disease is variation in the eyeball pressure. Surgical treatment of glaucoma is med hut not when the condi- , tion is so slight that the eyesight is not imparted. In severe cases, however, operation may be necessary to save the eyesight. The doctor will determine the degree of severity of the disorder before treating the condition with drugs, since such treatment may be unnecessary as long as the symptoms are slight and there is no loss of eyesight. If drugs are used, one called pilocarpine is recommended to be given daily. Os course, such treatment must be carried out under the direction of the physician. There should be no delay in the treatment of glaucoma. Remember, delays are always dangerous. w QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS A. A. W.t Every day hard crusts form in my nose. What could i do to correct this condition? Answer: The hard crusts in the nose may be due to atrophic rhinitis. It would be a good plan to consult a physician to determine the exact came of your trouble so that| it cm be proper!/ treat sd.

Lacking fuller’s earth, you can use cornstarch. Let the powder dry completely, and then brush off with a soft brush. The Winter Coat When buying the winter coat, do not think that the weight of the

coat determines its warmtth. A light-weight, fluffy material is oftentimes warmer than a much heavier garment. , Tomatoes Dip the tomatoes in very hot water and see how easily the skins are removed.

If you do, you’ll apreciate the following descriptive definition of a “true Thanksgiving mince 'pie" that I found the other day. The description is taken from Old Time Child Life by E. H. Arr. “A true Thanksgiving mince pie should be an inch thick, with a thin, flaky crust, tinted by its imprisoned juices, which threaten to break thru like blood from overfull veins. Around its edge must be a slight crinkle made by the tines of a fork i

nr castor-bottle cover; and in its top a hole here and there from the stroke of a knife to let the steam out. This steam, once known, can i never be forgotten, — the intermin- i gled exhalation of beef and pork : or suet, and apples and raisins and citron and sugar and spices and boiled cider, and, in profane families, of a dash of good brandy. < i When you press upon its upper crust, there should gush up from the slashes a brown gravy, sparkling -with tiny globules of fat, and i deliciously scenting the room. Fort- , unate they, who have been permitted to relish with a slice of cream cheese, and a mug of sweet cider, this healthful, bliss-giving pits!” Make your own mincemeat: Old Fashioned Mincemeat 2 pounds lean meat 1 pound suet 3 quarts chopped apples 3 pounds raisins 2 pounds currants ( 1 tablespoon citron 3 oranges, washed, grated, and juice removed. 3 lemons, washed, grated, and juice removed 2% pounds sugar 1 cup molasses 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablhspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons nutmeg 2 teaspoons mace 2 teaspoons powdered cloves 1 teaspoon allspice 1 quart meat broth
