M.D. OUR eyes mean so much to \ and many of ui do not fully appn ciate that fact until we have son trouble with our sight. That is wl our eyes should not be neglecte Glaucoma is one of the eye troubli for which we should be on the lool out. It is a disorder of the eye i which the pressure of the fluid witl in the eyeball is increased. Unforti nately, the exact cause of this di: order is not as yet known. Howeve: if treated properly and early, mue can be done for this condition. Some cases of glaucoma are ver serious, while many remain mild i nature. The recognition of this Ia1 ter fact is of great benefit to th patient's mental attitude. In som instances, the eyesight remains un changed over an indefinite period. Drs. Posner and Schlossman hav reported on over 370 cases of glau coma. The pressure within the eye ball remained only slightly in creased in 40. Examihation of Eyeball They suggest that examinatioi of the eyeball tension be made in al persons over 40 years of age, an I think this is a good thing for al of us to keep in mind. If the tension is at all increased further investigation of the condi tion of the eyes should be carrie· out at once. Any difference in ten sion between the eyes is a sign ο importance which the doctor know; demands investigation. Another important sign is varia tion of pressure within the eyeball even though the pressure does no seem to be abnormally high. Am it is an important thing for all per sons to know that there seems to b< a great deal of evidence that glau coma tends to run in families. The symptoms of thie conditior vary to a great extent. There maj be occasional blurring of the eye sight, some discomfort within th« eye, excessive tearing, the seeing oi a halo around lights, and difficulty in reading. Congestion of the eye ball is usually present. Sometimes the only sign of the disease is varia tion in the eyeball pressure. In Severe Cases Surgical treatment of glaucoma is used but not when the condition is so slight that the eyesight is not impaired. In severe cases, however, operation may be necessary to save the eyesight. The doctor will determine the de gree of severity of the disorder be fore treating the condition with drugs, since such treatment may be unnecessary as long as the symp toms are slight and there is no loss of eyesight. If drugs are used, one called pilo carpine is reeommended to be given twice daily. Of course, such treat ment 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. QUESTION8 AND ANSWERS A. A. W.: Every day hard crusts form in my nose. What could I do to correct this condition? Answer: The hard crusts in the nose may bé due to atrophic rhini tis. It would be a good plan to consult a physician to determine the exact cause of your trouble so that it can be properly treated. Food for Thought All flours should be sifted, except rye, bran or whole wheat, just be fore measuring. If flour is measured directly from the container without sifting, it will be firmly packed, and this means that there will be 25 to 50 per cent more flour added to the mixture than the recipe called for. This will make your batter too thick and result in a dry, "bready" article. Add a little finely grated onion to creamed celery. You can bake in a casserole, if you like, topping the dish with bread crumbs or breakfast cereals and sprinkling with paprika. mmmmm Mmrnmemmmmmmmmmttm THIS ONE'S IASY, say· Concert Pianist Constanct Keen·.

Kequirea music rracrice win Not Do Any Harm to Child By GARRY CLEVELAND MTERS, Ph.D. INFLUENCED by some of the ! prevailing philosophies of educa tion, many parents, most parents, perhaps, have the notion that if a child be required to do something, like practicing: music lessons, he will in later life hate the thing he | once was made to do. And they can cite some cases which fit into the notion. They may, indeed, relate their own experiences in confirma tion. But if you ask them to name some youths or adults highly skilled at playing a musical instrument, who were not required by their par ents to practice, they may be stumped. Granted that some children do learn to hate playing a certc^i mu sical instrument at which they had been required to practice for weeks, months and even years, who can be sure this hatred grew solely out of the child's having been required to practice ? Let us consider the many customary factors connected with the requirement. Was the require ment of such nature that there arose no doubts or arguments over the matter? Were there easy ways for the child to escape the require ment? During Practice Period When the child who is made to practice is told each day when to go at it, when there is constant jaw ing even during the practice periods, with constant irritations between the child and parents; and when the resisting child finds ways of merely going through the motions of prac ticing and filling in the time, he won't make much progress at culti vating playing skill. In such event, the practicing may grow more drudgerous, since there is practi cally no skill achievement and there fore no satisfaction to lessen the resistances. But when the child with fair or more than average music talent keeps practicing in accordance with reasonable standards of accuracy, he inevitably grows in skill and feels he is achieving. Through awareness of this achievement comes inexorable satisfaction and this satisfaction may, in compari son, reduce his distaste. It's this possible satisfaction from achieve ment that has been overlooked not only by many parents but by many philosophers of education also. Needless Doubts Something more has been over looked—the needless doubts to the child and irritations and arguments with his requiring parents. Here again the so-called expert has made it hard for parents. He has not given parents a workable program of control and enforcement. Yet the child must have some respect for authority before he will do what he is told to do. There must be avail able an effective penalty—and it won't be jawing—to enforce re quirement. For this penalty I have suggested requiring the recalcitrant child to sit doing nothing and without amusement for twice as long as good practice of the music lesson would take, for each delinquency. Back of this the child must have learned from much earlier experi ence that it would be very painful to leave the chair before the time is served. Let parents of the tot pre pare him now to profit from such penalties, which may be desirable later. Answering Parents' Question· Q. Are there some good books about children's books and how to evaluate them? A. Yes; "Roads to Childhood," by Anne Carroll Moore; "A^Venture in Reading," by May Lamberton Beck er; "Every Child and Books," by Jean Betzner and Annie Moore; "Reading to Children," and "Treas ures for the Taking," by Anne T. Eaton; "Bequest of Wings," by ^n nis Duff; "Bpoks, Children and Men," by Paul Hazard; "Children I and Books," by May Hill Arbuthnot. 1 How to Avoid Ρ By HELEN FOLLETT I VICTIMS of excessively dry skin often find that their lip* are rough and chapped all the year "round. When applying the rosy glow the lipstick fluffs up littje shreds and tatters. This condition calls for spe cial treatment. While cold cream is a blessing to the complexion, it just won't do for the lips· The perfumed content doesn't taste good, and yon are bound to lap up some of it. Henee the need for the white lipstick that has healing qualities. Use it at night j after the face washing. During sleep it will restore the surfîtes of the lips to normal.

Many women complain that doing calisthen- : ics takes too much valuable time out of their day and for this reason abandon the rou- , tine they may have followed , for a week or so. But most of us could spend ' twenty minutes a day on a few 1 basic exercises and before long would find it time well spent. , Constance Keene, concert . pianist, who by virtue of her ι profession must spend long 1 hours sitting, believes that by ] following a simple exercise routine she avoids undue fa tigue while at work. And keep- 1 ing her muscles toned makes : her feel better, too, she says. < To keep in trim, then, Con- j stance does the exercises pic- j ; tured on this pa&e.

"For being such e loyel led,* I old him, "end you mey be sure Ded vill be just es proud. And we'll sey lothing more ebout Mr. Veritzen's >roffered matinee."

Haa to Leave "I'll have to be leaving as soon as Mary and I have breakfast, and 111 probably be going from that door in her room, so I thought I'd •ay au revoir now. I'll probably be seeing you at dinner. I think my stepmother is planning dinner for you all with us." A horrified disclaimer rose to my lips, but I caught it back. There was no use upsetting Noel, but I made up my mind to see Olga as soon as I could manage the interview and find out what Noel had meant It seemed preposterous that she should not guess how much we wanted to be alone as a family on this rare oc casion of our boys being with us. I managed a cordial adieux, as did Junior, and then, as Noel crossed to the card table to say good-bye to Lillian, Roderick and Faith, Junior gripped my arm. Formal Dinner "Mums!" he gasped. "Do you mean we've got to go through with a formal dinner with the Veritzens tonight? It's our only chance to be by ourselves. When we get out to the farm, everybody will be eating with us. Can't you dodge it some way?" "I'm going to do my beet," I told him firmly. "Wait here for me." I crossed to the telephone, and called the palatial apartment of the Lansfield's owner. Philip, himself, answered the call. "Madge!" he said. "Any news?" "Yes," I told him, "good news. I want to come up and tell you about it. I also want to see Olga about something. When will it be conven ient for you people to see me?" "At any minute," he responded promptly. "I'll send Winters up for you right away."

"Quite an assortment," I com mented. "There's almost half a car of luncheon meat, some dry cheese a fourth of an egg plant, about | quarter pound raw string beans, a few salad greens, some cooked rice a cup of cranberries and foui apples. How can we make tljese into a good meal?" "I have already started to cool· a potful of lentil soup,'* the Chei said thoughtfully. "With the cran· berries and apples I. pan make s very nice sauce for dessert, Ther« are enough greens for a mixec salad bowl. That leaves us the luncheon meat, the egg plant, th« string beans, the cheese and the rice to make the main course. What is your suggestion, Madame?" A Casserole "The only thing I can think ol is a casserole; and for that I'd like some tomatoes, but we haven't any." "Well Madame, I have a sugges tion: It is the Italian Fritto Misto.' "Fritto Misto? Let's see; fritte means fried, and I suppose mistc has something to do with mystery, It must be a mystery fry." "Ha, ha," laughed the Chef. "That is what the husband thinks when his wife gives him left-overs in dis guise. But this dish will not be a mystery. Fritto misto means a mixed fry, just like you have a mixed broil. Now I will tell you how I will make it. I shall first grate the cheese and combine it with the rice into small round croquettes ready to fry." "Sounds good so far. Rice and cheese croquettes are tasty. Go on," I said. "Then I shall whip up a bowl of batter fritter." "You mean fritter batter, don't you ?" "Oui. Madame; the fritter batter, which I shall use for an assortment of fritters from the ends and odds. I let this rest a few minutes until I get ready to fry. I can saute or use the deep fat. 1 prefer the deep fry as it is more quick and takes less fat. So I heat enough good lard in the chicken fryer to make three inches deep. It is hot enough when I brown a piece of bread in it in a minute. Of cours· I do not let the lard smoke—because that gives a burned taste. Now I «m ready to jJiUUCCU. tri lew 1 ι"β Λ quettes in the frying haskftft Jower them into the hot lardIjncl. fry brown, about 1 minute. Ttntfkl torn φ out on crumpled paper tdweMk and " place in the oven to keep wrm. Next I cut the left-over luntfteon meat in small half slices. I dip in the batter; then I carefully slide into the fat to fry. At once I follow with the eggplant. This I cut into fingers and dip in the batter. i<ast I take the whole string beans from, which I break off the ends. I dip these in the batter and fry all together until golden brown and puffed up." φ "Does the batter stay-on?" I v asked. No Mystery "For the most pai t, Madame. Where it slides off, the food shows a little bit, and the man can see what he's eating, so there is no mystery to this way of using left overs. Et voila, the 'Fritto Misto'." This is really a tempting way to use left-overs, I admit. Of course as the foods are deep-fried, they really absorb less fat than when % they are sautéed. When the rest of the meal is practically frerof fat, we are justified in occasionally pre paring left-overs as a Fritto Misto.

They may be fried in two ways: In a Sauté or Shallow Frying Pan: To do this, put just enough fat in the frying pan to barely cover the bottom, not quite enough to float the fritters. Heat, and drop in the fritters by tablespoonfuls, t> keeping them two inches apart, as they spread in cooking. Brown first on one side, then on the other, allowing about 4 min. Drain on crumpled absorbent paper* In Deep Fat: Heat fat ;of any kind about 3" deep» until l^jj'ffiough to brown a bit of bread itvWiinute, 360 F.

Stir the egg yolks into trie oatter; add là tsp. melted fat, any kind, and fold in the whipped egg whites. Dip in the vegetables; fry as di rected. Vegetables used in this way may include cauliflower,eggplant,squash, cucumber, celery, tomatoes or sliced onions. Green corn kernels, or a combination of diced carrots and celery with peas, or any vegetable combination desired, may be stirred into the batter and fried by dropffing tablespoonfuls into the hot deep «at.
