Henry Smith, famous opthal- mic surgeon, had performed 35,000, cataract operations on his patients in India up to the beginning of the world war. He has taught his method to, hundreds of the world’s leading sur- geons, who attend his clinic to learn the technic of his method. Here and there a progressive specialist in this country follows the Smith method in operating on cataract, but the ma- jority of oculists still use the older method. 1 health and hygiene, not to disease , ip sare of this newspaper. early, just as soon as the patient is unable to read his newspaper or do other close work. Incidentally the pa- tient is in better general condition where the operation is done earlier. Moreover the Smith method is com- Parativly simple and is complete in | one sitting.

Fisher of the Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat College, who makes his stu- dents do the operation on eyes from! Far be it from me to criticise the | S!@ushtered animals.

Have Ben Told they make you thin. (Mrs. S. R). Answer—If I thought they would I’d eat a pound a day myself. But that’s just one of Ben's jokes, you know. Neither prunes nor lamb chops nor even lemon juice makes you thin; these are all foods, and they all con- tribute some nourishment according to the quantities you take. A pound of prunes yields 360 calories, more food than a pint of milk, half as much again as a pound of oranges. Prunes raw or stewed are an excellent food for any one. Some persons find them especially valuable as laxative. Paste Dressing for Varicose Ulcer Some time ago you mentioned a paste for varicose ulcer. I wish you would repeat the directions. . . (C.

A few years back, however, impish pranks of would-be practical jokers kept the governmental agencies in a great lather.

Many older persons would, if op- portunity were open to them, shield these young folks from the cruelties, the unfairness and the hardships which they certainly will encounter, but even if this were possible the graduates themselves would have none of it. They are entitled to their own share of experiences, for better or for worse, and the rest of us can only occupy ourselves with our own affairs and let them attend to theirs. We can, of course, extend a help- ing hand here and there and all who hhave the opportunity should do so, but the game of life which these young folks face, they will, after all,| win or lose for themselves. | But, even with the world as we know it to be, we bid them God-speed with hope and confidence and we envy, more than a little, the fine spirit with which these young folks of 1932 begin the race. | To the graduates of Bismarck and St. Mary’s high schools, the nursing classes at the local hospitals and the Students at the federal Indian school, The Tribune says with all sincerity, “congratulations—and good luck.” This Paint Racket ‘With the ‘graduation ceremonies in {the important investigations of the jbeef and oil trusts and took an active jlaws of physics are on his side.

Garfield has been selected to prepare the plat- form for the Republican party which is to be submitted to the Chicago convention. Because of his early po- litical affiliation with the progres- sive Roosevelt faction in the Repub- lican party, the selection of Mr. Gar- field has some significance in that it indicates a departure from the practice of turning to one of the reg- ulars in the party councils to per- {form this task. That Mr. Garfield's! jinfluence will mean a party platform |that will represent any particular de- iparture from established Republican | policies does not necessarily follow for the party document is, in the last analysis, the product of not one man’s influence, but represents the thought of many. Yet Mr. Garfield's entire political record in public life is that of a pro- gressive Republican with a type of philosophy that bears the Roosevelt stamp. A son of the late president, Mr. Garfield entered politics as a state senator in Ohio. After serving on the United States civil service commission for a number of years he was appointed commissioner of cor- Pporations in the Department of Com- merce and Labor. It was while he held this position that he conducted part in the movement to extend the authority of the federal government in the regulation of commerce and industry. During the two years in which he was secretary of the inte- rior, under President Roosevelt, he effected a complete reorganization of that department and brought about some important reforms in the land office.. After being prominent in the councils of the “bull moose” party in the Roosevelt campaign in 1912, he retired to private life when that fac- tion met defeat. How much of that political tradi- tion Mr. Garfield will impart to the 1932 platform remains to be seen but the Smith method mainly because they have not had the opportunity to see it in the hands of a master and to receive instruction from such a teacher. At any rate, that is the reason why many of the old timers have held back on the modern meth- ods of treating infected tonsils, vari- cose veins and hernias. In the old standard operation for cataract the usual practice has been sto wait for complete “ripening’ of the cataract, whcih means complete opac- ity of the lens and almost helpless blindness, and then to extract the lens usually in two operations. In the Smith Indian operation it is not necessary to wait for “ripening” —the most successful results are ob- because eyes are surgically cleaner here. Cataract is probably less prevalent | now than it was formerly in America, | per thousand popualtion. Better light- jing of work, better care of the eyes | | and better fitting of glasses, and per- | haps better food and better care of general health are the reasons for this. In India cataract is exceedingly | prevalent, probably for the lack of all} these advantages.

The murmuring voice continued. There was a bless- ing which the listeners strained to hear. Then it all ov Even Aunt Jessie blinked and fumbled for her handkerchief. It had been so nice of that Mr, War- ing to offer to give Susan away. Of course he wasn’t a member of be be the MOAN HUNTERS BY MABEL _McELLIOTT weddings, Aunt Jessie wondered, Pretending that she herself had got a cinder in her eye. There was no sense to it. She might do a bit of weeping with every good right because she was going to miss Su- san, no mistake about it. Still she was glad to have her married. Life had been growing singularly con- fusing, what with one thing and another. This young man seemed all right. Aunt Jessie had been dis- appointed to hear that Susan had changed her mind about marrying Ernest Heath but probably it was all for the best. eee qT! music was crashingly tri- umphant now as the bridal pair turned to leave. The little swarm of guests followed. . Rose was whispering to the chubby girl, “Yes, I ran down this morning and picked out the hat and dress for her while they went to City Hall—” The chubby girl murmured that was ‘her idea of romance. “And they're going to Montana! What do you think of that?” Rose said ‘sturdily, “I think {t's marvelous.” The bride and bridegroom signed their names in a buge register and the guests swarmed around them. “My dear, you did give us a sur- Prise—let me congratulate the lucky man—you look a picture, Su- san, and no mistake—" Susan smiled at them, smiled at them all. Her soft dark hair curled around her face under the little hat. She moved in a happy dream. She had time to say to Ray under cover of an embrace, “Thank you! Thank you! You were right.” Ray stopped on the steps outside the church to put on more lip salve. In the mirror she saw that her eyes were red. “I look @ fright, no kid- ding,” she thought.

It scarcely seemed possible, They sat, hands linked, on the platform of the club car. “I'm sorry you had to make your father angry, Bob.” The young man shrugged. “He'll come around. He always does.” “I’m glad though that we're not starting off with a lot of money,” said Susan thoughtfully, “I think that would be a handicap.” The boy stared at her. “You're a wonder to say that.” “But I mean it!” “There's no limit to what we can do together,” Bob told her with en- thusiasm. “It’s great to be on my own for a change. We'll show them—" ‘They talked on as lovers do, Was it less than a year ago, Susan won- dered, that she had been so discon- tented, so impatient for things to happen? Now she had everything in the world. She had love and a bappy future. What else mattered? ‘The night wind grew colder and the sky above the rushing train shone with a scattering of stars, “I've been so lucky,” Susan said, nestling close to her husband, “E dcn't know what I've done to de serve so much.” } She lifted her eyes to his.” The boy put a kiss in the palm of the hand he was holding, “Funny,” he mused, “It it badn't been for father and Denise—both of them bent on separating us— we probably wouldn't be together tonight. Denise especially. She didn’t really want me, It just made her mad to think anyone else did.” “Call i¢ Denise,” murmured Su- san, her eyes darkening. “Or call it—fate!” The train plunged westward.
