This is on Delos Smith the authority G. Cogan, professor of ophthal mology of Harvard Medical School, and his assistant. Dr. Philip H. Henneman. They are circulating the news through the medical world. Its importance is that when too much calcium-in-body chem istry has progressed far enough it is likely to show up painfully and disablingly as bone disease or kidney stones. But when the sizn armears in me eyes, me In high - speed, magnified photographs this calcification showed up as a gray lace-work. The interior of the eyes could be seen through the openings of the lace and this permitted "sur prisingly good visual acuity." The doctors inferred that the very first eye sign of too much calicum must have been over looked in the first examination which, they said, can be done "easily." The first sign is a tiny band of grayish inflammation on either side of the cornea. Their man was no excessive milk drinker but he took a multi- person is not yet sick, the doc- vitamin preparation daily which The hormones of the adrenal glands regulate its utilization in body chemistry, and the doctors treated their man by giving him daily doses of the adrenal hor mone, cortisone, to supplement the cortisone of his own adrenals which had not been enough to handle the calicum. But it took a year and a half to clear his corneas of the gray ish lace and even then traces of it remained in one eye under magnification which were not visible to the naked eye of the examiner. The common causes of too much calicum, they reminded in their report to the New England Journal of Medicine, include over-function of the parathyroid glands and "excessive milk and Vitamin D intake." But "mild Scientisls Conduct Exposure Tests Miami Beach, Fla. OP) Scien tists here have developed a spe cial weather station for outdoor exposure tests. Manufacturers in all parts of the country utilize the station, conducted by the American Standards Testing Bureau of New York, in order to deter mine the resistance of their products to heat, sunlight and air. Paint, enamel and plastic ma terials are some of the products tested. Officials of the American Standards Testing Bureau said the special Miami weather sta tion was established because of a minimum amount of cloud interference. hypercalcemia (too much cal cium) usually causes no symp toms and is often detected chemically over after the de velopment of bone disease or renal stones." For that reason their news was news indeed, they said, and "de serves special emphasis." Thursday, October 17, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Competition for Farm Land Great Urbana, 111. (IP) Competi tion for land has become so great, a University of Illinois farm management specialist said, that the only practical way to increase profits may be by "in tensifying operations." W. D. Buddemeier said that in the past farmers have in creased their profits merely by farming more land, but now they probably will have to get more out of the same old acres if they want to up their profits. Buddemeier said good man agerial ability and a little capital are needed to carry out a suc cessful land intensification pro gram. He advised farmers who intend to use more fertilizer and livestock without expanding their acreage to consult Farm Bureau authorities first. The extent to which labor and capital should be used on a given acreage depends directly on the opportunity for increasing pro fits, Buddemeier said.
