The fact that in some case: crossed eyes straightened out with- out treatment or 0PEI'8l10n. calmed some physicians to advise parents to wait and see if nature would correct the defect.

In Health, the magazine pub- lished by the Health League of Canada. Dr. A. Lloyd Morgan. Dir- ector of Opthalmology, Hospital for - "Sick Children. Toronto. states that, "Great advances have been made in the treatment of crossed eyes in the last few years. Not so many years ago, the advice to the parents of the Cross-eyed child was. :Let it go for a while and if the condi- tion does not improve by the time he is 10 or 12 years old, an oper- ation can be done'."

"Modern treatment is to start treating the crossed eye as soon as it is noticed Most. babies do not coordinate their eyes for the first few months but should be using both eyes together by the age of . six months"

An easy way to determine if the baby's eyes are straight is to hold a. lighted flashlight about two feet in front of his eyes. The child usu- ally looks at the light and if the reflections are in the same posi- ' Lion in the pupils of both eyes, the eyes are straight. if the bright spot is in the center of one pupil and to the outside of the other. they are not crossed.

Sometimes the eyes will cross when child is tired or ill and yet will be perfectly straight by time of examination.

The Difference

Two little boys in a children's ward were discussing their hospital experiences.

"Are you medical or surgical?" asked nne.

I don't know what you mean." the other answered.

The first boy. who had been a patient in the ward for some time, looked scornfully at the new com- er. "Were you sick when you got here. or did they make you sick after you came?”

but week in this column I was talking about some of the complaints which consumers an nun; C. A. C. to look into and one was the "irritant" effects of detergents; the column read itin- etant effects" which was a mis- prlnt. This week I have heard of several more cues of skin eruption end, ruhu after the use of detergents and, want to warn you once more to be more care- ful in the use of these chem- icals. A1 I have said before it stands to realon when you see how the greasy ring in the dish- pan or kitchen sink disappears after the use of some of these detergents that the natural oil in your skin could easily be effect- ed. Last April in the C. A. C. bulletin there was a summary of the different soaps and deter- gent: on the market today and it was very helpful. There are four different types of packaged soaps and detergents for your use: First, the pure soap which comes in flakes, ppwder or bar- Maple Leaf Flakes. Ivory Snow and Flakes. new Lux and Prin-

roft water and are recommended if you have any trouble with your skin. ' Second, the built soap which contains an alkaline compound and fluorescent dye and soap- these are Thrift, Domino, A. 8: P. Flakes, Quix, Chipso, Rinso. Oxy- dol and Supersuds. These are specially good for heavy or greasy soil on cottons and linens. but are not recommended for wool or very fine fabrics.

Third. the light synthetic deter- gent or "Soapleas Soap"-Vel and

grocery shelves in powder form but there are many more of these sold for hair shampoos. They are excellent for washing wool and delicate fabrics. They are good, for dishes as the lather slips off leaving the dishes without a smear if they are left to drain. These are good for any water- hard or soft.

Fourth. the heavy duty built detergents-Tide. Feb. Surf. Bye. They contain one of the syn- thetic detergents plus alkaline and

other builders to increase their soil-removing power - generally one of the fluorescent dyes;

many now contain also a special compound to help prevent grey- "ins. which was formerly a cle- fect in laundering with synthetic detergents. The advantage of these detergents is that they are just as good in hard water as in soft, for they leave no scum. as soap sometimes does. They have surely captured the market and the shelves in our grocery stores

would be pretty hare without them. C. A. C. worked for two years to have the weight in

ounces printed on the packages. so be sure to check before you buy these "giant" and "jumbo” boxes and see if they are a bar- zain or if it is more profitable to buy a smaller package.

Do be more careful in your use of them-don't put more than you need in the dish pan or washing machine. Learn to measure them. for you know our careless waste of them is putting millions of dollars in the manufacturers poc- kets and if you find your hands are dry and cracking. mix them with some pure soap flakes, and if that doesn't help cut them out altogether for awhile at least and prove to yourself that they are the cause of the trouble.
