BKOITSIGHTEDNESS ll N01‘ A DISEASE 0F THE EYI

GMALI. FRY S '

It has been found that some children who appear to be "back- waird" at school have some defect of eyesight or hearing; when the defect has been corrected their‘ progress is normal for their age. One of the defects which may alarm parents is shortslghtedness which looms large Ln their minds and may interfere with the prog- ress of the child mentally and phy- sically. In the “Canadian Medical Journal," Dr. A. Lloyd Morgan,‘ surgeon-in-chief. Eye Department,‘ Sick Children's Hospital, Toronto. states that there are many mlsfl taken idea; about shoirtsightedness gr myopia, as it is known in medl- dne. From surveys and investigations, Dr. Morgan believes that myopia. is not o. disease of the eye but a. nor-‘ mal process of development. After. mentioning at least a dozen theor-i les as to the cause of shortsighted- ness is caused by the shape of the eyeball, In farsightedness the eye- ball is too short and in shortsight- cdness it is too long.

Because no disease is present and shortsightedness lg simply due to a long eyeball, the following advice is

Separate Vacations

Husband. Vllfo Approolato other More After Short Absence

DEAR. M185 DIX: How long a vacation should u wife take in the summer‘! LIBS. R. '1‘.

ANSWER: bong enough for her husband to miss her, but not long enough for him to find out that he can do without her. Or to put it a little more specifically: Long enough for the house to get all cluttered up, all the dishes in the sink and all the towels soiled and all his shirts and collars lost, but not long enough for him to learn how to cook bacon without scorching it, and to remember to send out the laundry. Long enough for him to get. lonesome, but not long enough for him to find companionship.

In spite of,all that is said by the complacent wives who believe that their husbands never draw a happy breath away from them, I am strong for husbands and wives taking their vacations separ- ately in most cases. For a vacation should be a vacation and it isn't a vacation if it doesn't give us a change.

~

MARTYRED SPOUSI

Of course, a woman may sacrifice herself, drag off to the woods and spend a miserable time with the mosquitoes and red bugs in order to take the kind of vacation her husband likes. 0r the man may martyrlze himself by going to a resort hotel with his wife because she wants to show off her new clothes. But in either case the victim is peevish and fault-finding and spoils the pleasure of the other one, as well as being personally wretched.

8o why not use a little common sense in deciding the vacation question, and each do what he or she likes and leave the party of the other part to do the same‘?

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am involved in a triangle of circum- stances. f am 23, in love with a fellow of the same age who was mar- ried to a girl while he was in the service. His father, who was recent- ly divorced because of me, loves me. riot knowing I am in love with his son.

Shall 1 marry the father so as to be near his son, hoping that the son and his wife will some day get. a. divorce and then he ean be mine? Or shall I find other interests and give up the man I love?

DESPERATE.

ANSWER: You certainly must be a fast worker, and uninhibited by any morals, if at 23 you already have caused the divorce of an elder- ly man and his wife and are planning to separate his son and his wife. Evidently you must specialize in wrecking families.

Don't you think you have done enough harm in taking Grandpa away from Grandma, without adding to it the appalling crime of marry- ing the old man so that you may be near his married son for whoin you seem to cherish an unholy passion? A fiend from hell could think up no more diabolical plot. It makes me feel that you are wasting your talents in home-wrecking. You should go in for writing the sexy nov- els that are so popular at present. You could add new touches to their plots.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am married to a man who is a very good provider, but he has a fault that has gotten on my nerves so that I can't stand it much longer. He has a vile temper and every time he gets mad he orders me out of the house. I am getting tired of having to pack my bag every time he gets angry.

How can I cure him of this fault?

J. B.

ANSWER: By simply leaving. The next time he orders you out of the house put on your hat and go and don't leave any address behind you. By the time he cools off and gets hungry and comes home to a cold cooking stove and no wife, he will begin to look for you and send out an SOS call for you.

‘rhe highest-tempered man controls his temper when he deals with other men, because he couldn't make a living if he didn't, and by the some token he would mind his manners if he knew that his wife wouldn't. stand for his abuse.

Ellen ‘s Diary

IyauhlndhrmoruIik

“Gould you tall m what little ducks out!" Jamie wunhd. to know by ‘phone in u concerned voice this moruin We were at. break- fast at the mo so Jamel too ill- tened to our chatting. It would take in extremely smart person to carry on a conversation by tele- phone in u. manner satisfactory to all interested, if James be present.

-In fact, I believe it would baffle even the youngsters Superman. For it is actually carried on between James in his chair and relayed by me with odd additions or subtrac- tions to the one at the far end of the wire. 5o it was this morning. "Not ducks!" I exclaimed to Jamie. "Ellen, ask him how many?" James insisted. "Three" 1 told him in a low tone, collecting my wits t0 answer Jamie: queries. "Bread and . . ." I began and "soak it in mllk!" James supplied. And I had scarce- ly replaced the receiver when James remembered something in connection with this branch of poultry raising from past years.

i "Ah, Ellen" he said, passing me his cup then to be replenished "you for- got to dell him to grease their

- heads." However "Karolyn" I heard him contact her presently “be sure to tell him to grease their heads with butter —his grand-mother neglected to tell him that." I could hear Karolynh amused chuckle, then James‘ answer "I don't know —for lice or some hing. Many a time I've seen it d ne. And there's only three! I guess we'll have to give up the duck business!" So Jamie's settln' of Pekin duck eggs is hatched. Almost simultaneously, came news that Jamie's young block and white Muscovey. daugh- ter to Mattie. of the line of Peter, now resident in a other district was abroad with a clutch of seven. In the interests of conservation these later were buaaOtlndOd and confined to a pen. At latest reports all are doing nicely.

Our young lady visitor came gaily to her ninth birthday this morning. “Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to you" I sang in cracked and quavery tones when she came down, tsrdily to her breakfast. her afternoon at the shore lent additional sleep to her pillow. Jamie happened along, when Rob came to continue our hey cut- ting and soon her mother and small sister arrived to spend the day at Alderlea. Our plan to celebrate the day by eating out of doors was set aside when a shower nearing the table-spreading time sent the youngsters scurrying indoors for shelter. It also brought our work- ers hastening from the fields. their clothing soaked from the down- pour. I added chips to the fire, in an effort to hurry the dinner and prodded and turned the cooking fowl hopefully. Jeanie carried a toothsome cake and her daughter from the house across the lane, and at last with her assistance all was ready. There was one mildly dis- turbing incident which for the moment bother mt. but m!" W" lost. in a hearty laugh that went the rounds of the family. James upstairs changing into dry cloth- ing called down to ask for "those old pants, Ellen." "Old pants?" I ygpflflm, my face flushed from my hufrylng "why—I burnt them!" "Bu-r-rnt them!" James echoed my words, his voice trailing off at the last.
