INDIANA EVENING fcSDAY, i if- i 24, HOW TO KEEP WELL DR. FRANK McOOY Eye Exnminntiona Important Eyestrain has a detrimental influence upon the entire nervous system. My experience with thousands of patients has convinced me that this is true, and I believe that a thorough examination of the eyes should be included in any complete physical examination. I have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries regarding the functions tnd care of the eyes. Evidently the public is beginning to realize the true importance of the "windows of the soul." As most authorities that 50 per cent is a conservative figure for the number of people suffering from defective eyes, has become necessary to lind remedial measures to prevent eyestram and its attendant ills.

Let us discuss some of the various types of eyes from an anatomical standpoint: Scientifically a normal eye is described as emmetropic; that is it is normal in length and it focuses without undue effort or strain. The farsightcd, or hypcroptc, eye is by far the most prevalent. It is shorter in length from front to back than the normal eye and one has to exert an extra effort with the consequent-nervous strain in order to fo- cus and maintain a clear vision. A pearsighted eye is called myopic. With this type the eyeball is longer thamnormal.

There is another neai- jtfighted condition called pscudo or falseiinyopia of the eye. This is usually caused by an excessive strain on the focusing apparatus. Astigmatism is another optical error with which you are more or less familiar; at least you have heard it mentioned although you may not its meaning. An astigmatic eye is one that is not symmetrical in curvature. An analogy would be a rubber ball which has been slightly compressed thus making the surface flatter in one meridian than in the other.

Another frequent source of eye discomfort is that produced by muscular imbalance of the eyes. This not only includes tendencies of the eyes to turn from their normal position but also actually crossed eyes. With the ever-increasing- amount of reading and close application (Te- manded by our modern age, there has been of necessity a need for men skilled in relieving ocular distress. The perplexing problems of ey-v strain and failing vision have been given constant study by the optometrists who specialize in this very important branch of the healing arts and they deserve credit for their scientific achievements. They have perfected a i technique which has stood the test of many years' practice whereby "drops" are no longer necessary for a complete examination.

This has been a great step forward as I am convinced that it is not only more accurate than the older method but also does not inconvenience the patient by depriving him for two or three days of the use of his eyes while reading. The modern optometrist has instruments of precision with which he makes measurements of not only the range vision but also the actual depth of focus of the eyes. He can look into and note the general health of the eye, accurately measure the actual eye' curvature without touching it, and make sensitive measurements of the muscular balance and coordination of the eye. I might mention here that a thorough examination such as that just described requires at least an hour to complete. Many of my readers have been asking for Eye Exercises and I am glad to send an article on the subject to you.

Write to me and enclose one, large, self-addressed stamped envelope. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS All questions regarding health and diet will be answered. A large, stamped, self addressed envelope must be enclosed. Write on one side of the paper only. Letters must not exceed JoO words.

Address Dr. Frank McCoy, 1J51 South Sixth Street, Los Angeles, for reply. Inexpensive Menus Question: "Wishing to be of service to others" writes: "1 wish Uidt you would publish a menu for a family of five or six people, two adults and three or lour children, that would be nourishing but very inexpensive. With your knowledge of food combinations and food values you would be of great service to people in these days of limes and unemployment. Many people do not realize that the inexpensive foods sometimes arc the most nourishing." Answer: You are quite right what you say about nourishment being derived from inexpensive foods, and I have prepared an article on this subject which is too long to be printed in this column; however, if you will write to me again, giving me your namo and address on a large, stamped and ask for will be glad Inexpensive Menus I to forward the information to you.

Rupture Question: Mr. Frederick M. asks: "Will you please print a diet or whatever you think is best for a rupture or hernia, as some call it. I have had one in the left groin for twelve years, at first small, but now as large a.s a cup." Answer: Keep the quantity of food down to the minimum so that your abdomen will remain as flat as possible. Then take the "setting up" exercises to develop your abdominal muscles.

Meanwhile, wear a suitable support which will hold in the rupture until the muscles covering the jeritoneum have been sufficiently developed to do their work properly. Clymer Massacres Patton Nine, 18-0 Real entertainment was lacking in the contest between the Clymcr and Patton teams in the Sunday gaine on the Clymer field when Cly- mcr massacred the invaders by an 18 to 0 score. Davis, hurling for Clymer, had the visitors well in hand at all times, Was never in danger, allowed the boys from the bluffs only two very scattered hits, one in the first and one in the eighth inning, and due to his good support, no runs came across the platter. Huber astounded everyone by smacking out a screaming triple into deep left. Cox also came thru with a triple.

It was reall no honor to win from the Patton boys, if they were ever in good condition, this was not the day.

Oddly Enough Just as in any other place there are "characters" and eccentrics who attract amused or pitying attention. Take Fifth Avenue: Of a morning, in the St. Patrick's Cathedral region, you're likely to encounter an elderly Beau Brummel wearing cutaway, striped trousers, button shoes, a greenish old derby, waxed moustaches and a cane.

He speaks to everybody who loolcs like a lady or a gentleman Up in the Eighties there's a spry old fellow, very well dressed, who orders himself around in elaborate military maneuvers. Sometimes he walks the cracks in the sidewalk, or skips along the wall bordering Central Park Somewhere in the same neighborhood lives a man who likes to play traffic cop. If he sees a woman waiting at the curb he'll charge gallantly in front of onrushing cars, bring them to a halt with screaming breaks and scraping fenders, and wave the pedestrian across with a low bow lower Fifth Avenue strolls a man who wears a long green feather in his hat and twirls an ebony cane encrusted with Hants.

A conductor told me that for at least ten years he had seen the passenger, always chipper and beaming at everybody in the morning, always downcast when he returned in the early afternoon. All the carmen were curious about him, until finally one of them engaged him in brief conversation. "I went to the pier to meet the Bourgogne," volunteered the white- haired gentleman. "But I found she won't dock until next Monday. I went to meet my wife and son; they're coming in on the Bourgogne." The next Monday, and the next and the next for hundreds of Mondays, he went to meet the ship, telling people on the way that he soon was to see his wife and boy.

Finally somebody looked up the vessel in the marine records, and there was the answer to the mystery. La Bourgogne was lost off the Newfoundland Banks in 1898, Eastern and northeastern -Indian tribes have a tradition of a descent from the sky as the beginning of human inhabitants on tne earth: Indian peoples of the mountainous and plateau regions of the south and southwest believe their ancestors ascended from the underworld.
