Show Long Eyelashes Called Signs of 111 Health Long eyelashes always have been considered a mark of beauty, but It remains for s Japanese physician to : take the Joy out of life by pointing out that they are slso s sign of poor health. Doctor Tamaokl of the pedl- 1 atrlc department of the Kyushu Imperial Im-perial university, has made a two-year study of about 7,000 children and has concluded that most children wltb long eyelashes are In poor health, It has been reported U the American Medical association. The lashes of consumptive children grow twice ss long as those of healthy children. Sickly children have longer and prettier lasbes than those In good health. The laahea of healthy ohll- I siren will grow about sa eighth ef an Inch during the first year of life, while , those ef children suffering from scroruis grow nearly a quarter of an Inch, Doctor Tamaokl has found. No explanation of the cause of this condition con-dition has been made, nor has It been accepted as a definite criterion of the state of a child's health. Kansas City Star's (Science Service. |
