I EI.l.Ell S DIARY I: an Island Farmers Wile Again night's sable wraps this laiilnltoad at America. and once more after a busy day its family has gathered to the light and warmth and peace within its homes. A light beams down from an upstairs window in the house across the lane indicating to us that granddaughter is coming to her bed. a small sincere prayer said. I golden head tucked pre- sently into a pillow. And it comes to mind that on an afternoon of last week when the men were off to the wood-sawing and While We were both engrossed in our re- spective interests - We were at work in the pantry while she in the kitchen was taken up Wlih cutting pictures from an old mas- asine - in our quiet She suddenly repeated her evening prayer from beginning to end. And We were startled at the moment. finding in the incident. some premonition of ill. Though like James we are not superstitious. yet we sometimes admit to a peculiar sensation on occasion, perhaps because the blood of those who have walked with wraiths in the dark glens or seen token-lights along the wild hillsides or flitting on some river- place still runs in our veins. "why! 0 we exclaimed coming to her "what made you say that?" "Oh" she smiled "the words Just came to me . . .and I said them because I wanted you to see how well I knew them. I never made a mistake, did I?" 0 O O 0 After a winter of excellent health. she was miserable with a slight eold today, a condition James suspects she contracted yesterday afternoon on a pleasant prowl which carried us along the fields and stream in the sunshine of April's first day. Jamie was a guest over the week-end and with the two we visited the haunt of a pair of pheasants without catch- ing so much as a sight of them, though we climbed to the heights of a stack in the vicinity and re- mained very quietily there hoping they would emerge from the thick covert of spruces close by to forage in a. grain-field beside. as we have seen them many times from a. dis- tance. we did startle two part- ridges. or more truthfully we were the ones startled when without warning as we entered a grove. they flew off on swift wings before we could even ad-mire them. We stopped to listen to the increased number of bird-voices. in the quiet and reverence denying ,that a day so hallowed and lovely could be an April Fool's Day. We heard too. the over-flow from the mill- dam strike a new pitch in its mel- ody as it fell in a spot of foam to the deep pool below . . . And whether or not along with these pleasantries our small one picked up her present indisposltlon on our prowl as James declares or 'it was coming over her last week" as Karolyn practiced in childish symptoms states. her condition has bettcrcd and she now comes to her rest. And again four "little women" of this road were left to cope with the affairs of the homes while their husbands kept a promise to foregather in afar field at the wood-sawing. And one was taken up with the care of her two small ones. and one was warned not to let "any of the stock come into the kitchen": and one "didnt know what to do with a calf" that had escaped from its quar- in-5, and one was troubled becsuse s matron of the piggery had brok- cn from bounds. "And dear knows what harm she will come to her- self or do" were the same words we had often used in similar ha- ( massing situations. when our fann- cr was missing from the place. As it turned out. everything ended well for the ladies. which brings them "weary and content and un- dishonoured" to their beds! Until tomorrow - - Diar Good-night. . . . . y- use.

TREATMENT FOR CROSS-EYE Eye specialists stats that a cross- eyed child should be treatod be- fore the age of four. as loss of vision due to cross-eye can then be restored and the eye straightened. This does not mean that the con- dition cannot be helped after the age of four. but best results are obtained before that age and be- fore stsrting school. ' In Sight-Saving Review. a pub- lication of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Dr. Clement C. Clarke of Yale Univer- sity points out that the vision of a cross-eyed child is damaged when the child fails to make full use of one eye. with lack of use. vision in the eye is reduced, caus- eing partial blindness. To restore his sight. declares Dr. Clarke. the child must be forced to use the weaker eye. "In severe cases the only method that will restore sight is complete bandaging of the bet- ter eye." This simple method of treat- ment. making the weak eye strong- er by giving it more work. gives excellent results. Dr. Clarke stud- ied the effectiveness of this treat- ment in we children. He found that among children under two years of age. '10 per cent showed improvement. In the 2-to-4 age group. 59 per cent improved their sight. In the 4-to-7 year group. only I per cent showed improve- ment. From the above figures. Dr. Clarke concludes that "the cases in which the greatest visual im- provement was obtained were those in which treatment was be- gun before the age of four years If treatment is begun before age of four and if adequate measures are followed until vision is sfabil-3 ized. blindness from lack of use of the cross-eye can be prevented." Fortunately. while the simple method of forcing the child to use the weak eye gives these good re- sults. parents should remember that other forms of treatment are available. Thus at the age of 3-4. treatment consists of the use of drugs to give freedom to muscles controlling vision and the eyeball. together with exercises to strength- en ihe eye musclcsi iortlmptics). and also corrective classes which balance the eyes. This method cures so per cent of the cases. Finally. should the above forms of treatment fail and the young- ster still has cross-eye which may cause an ”inferlorirty complex." the cross-cye can be corrected by surgery. which is not so terrible as might be thought. The above information should be of help to parents of a. child with cross-eye.
