MEDICINE AND ‘DIET CON- TROLC MOST CASES OF IPILEPSY

After seeing several individuals m an epileptic attack. I often won- dered whether these vlfltlmg would be able to live useful and happy lives,

The young patients could not go to school or elsewhere unless ac- cclzipanied by those of their own age or older. and the older patients found it difficult to obtain em- ployment in industry owing to the danger to themselves and to others. No school teacher or camp direc- tog wanted to be responsible for thp can of an epileptic boy or girl: no employer wanted "accidents" to happen in his factory or ware- house.

Every day we now see epileptic children at school and camps. and epileptic adults gainfully employed in offices and factories. This great change has been brought about bv research workers in epilepsy, who are now able to distinguish be- tween erpilepsy and other mental and emotional ailments.

The use of the electmnencephalo- graph, which records the move- ments of the brain as does the electrocardiograph the heart, is a great step forward in understand- ing and treating epilepsy. The other important step in making life worth living for the epileptic is the discovery of new drugs -- the bar- biturates and others.

During all the centuries before this century. practically no treat- menl; to prevent attacks-was known and the quietlng drugs-bromides- were the" only treatment.

The general feeling until a few years ago was that "nothing could be done about it, that epileptics were insane, that they couldn't live normal lives." It is thus not hard to understand why young epileptics were a tragic problem to them- selves and to their parents, Their parents were over-protective and anxious. fearful of dlscipling the "sick" child, and denying him free- dom and responsibility.

With the new treatment of epil- epsy-medicine and diet (increas- ing fats. decreasing starches) — about seven in every ten cases of epilepsy can be completely con- trolled and others helped to a con- siderable extent.

lt is now known that. epilepsy has no relation to intelligence. as some outstanding men and wosnen ywtre epileptics.

Ellen 's Diary

Iyallflalllarmaflfllfn

Cool showers this morning which early gathered the ewes and their lambs to the shelter of a shed. and as well put an end to all thought of field-work for the day. provid- ed an excellent opportunity for our farmers to lend Rob help at a spot

of potato-grading there. At their going, following close on the heels of the choring, a strange stillness and an air of desertioh stole over the place and we found ourself in- terrupting our interests to linger near a window and wondering about the unusual quiet remember that the two were away. At part- ing James came in briskly to re- mind us "Now. be careful of the fire, Ellen, when we‘re not around". a caution we always consider un- necessary and more so today be- cause an example of it being "a good friend but a bad master" was brought with moments of anxiety to our attention as recently as yes- terday.

Then it was, and as "nobodyhi fault". a bit of a fire which will take "an armful of boards or more and a bundle or so of shingles to repair the damage" happened in a pump-house at the place on the hill.

noticed-Jrust James to be among the first to spy the burst of smoke! —and quickly conquered, but not without a period of misgiving and labor on the part of the house- hold and the helpers that soon forgathered. If the family had chanced to be absent or others had failed to see it, it might have de- veloped into a sorrowful sight which would have left the entire homestead in dark ruins in very few hours. "That, Ellen," James commented when he returned’ “should be a lesson to all of us to be a blt more careful of fire- everything being tinder-dry at the moment!" I O O

Yesterday's visitors to Alderlea included one of that sometimes criticized but much respected and . . ry profession -— a school mafam. She is a farmer's wife re- cently pressed lnin service to "fill in" in the school of her home com- munity after being absent from teaching for many a year. "But it comes back to one, Ellen". she said. "having once taught, it is quite na- tural to be teaching again. "Her young daughter is among her pupils, and has doubtless been a means of keeping her mother, cur- rently up-io-date and in touch with modern methods of teaching. Oth- er modish ladies, young and older and pretty in new Spring outfits and hair-dos, which some way are in keeping with the freshly cloth- ed fields and trees of the country- side were visitors as well, from a distance, and their husbands taken up with interests and cares like our own were taken by James to look upon the livestock in stable and sty. lt is a round which James at home m- abroad enjoys. he finding much pleasure always in flocks and herfls ‘and fields.

At Rob's today Jamie was off in the rain to school and his brother improved in health, though not yet entirely rid of his cold, was back to his busy round of play in the kitchen. Here, in a bid for a free- dom she could not have in the pre- vailing dampness, grand-daughter stole away from the house across the lane to visit; us breathlessly, and with rain-drops clinging to her curls. Her entrance is a signal for a bouquet of cats and a pup to fol- low close at her heels. - - - But now on a night that ls overcast, with small promise of fine weather for those who would enjoy an outing tomorrow—-the Queen's Birthday- our small maid is abed and asleep, a faded and familiar blanket. which seems to hold some peculiar com- fort to her when hed-time comes round. rolled tightly as a doll is held in her arms.

DOROTHY DIX lsavs-

Divorce Wilh' Bonus

Wife Demands Devoted Mate Sell Home. To Finance Her Re-lylarriage

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My wife and I have been married for 14 years. We have a lovely home. She has never wanted for anything. I have been very faithful to her all these years and we have been very happy together. But six weeks ago an old flame of hers came to "e her and told her that he still loved her. l-le is married and has two children, and he has not been able to divorce his wife as she has glven_ him no cause.

But now my wife wants me to give her a divorce slovshe can marry this man. She also wants me to sell our home and divide all of our property 50-50. I love my home and my wife and I don t want t0 give either one up. She has absolutely no grounds for divorce as I have been very good toher all through the years.

Do you think I should glve her a divorce and sell my home just so she can go to another man’!

HEARTSICK

ANSWER: Your wife must think you are of an ex- ceedingly accommodating disposition if she thinks that you will sell your home in order to finance her love affair with another man. Apparently the lady had no fault to find with you as a husband until the old sweetheart bobbed up. and as she wants to be paid for divorcing you, while you want to keep her, it doesn't look as if she would have a. very good case in court.

One of the things in marriage that would be humorous if it were not so tragic. is the way so many men and women revert to their first

! loves long after they have married, reared a family. and lived a com- Fortunnely [he ombreak was soon‘ fortable, contented. Darby and Joan life together.

It is the eternal crav- ing for romance, for youth, of those who realize that they are hearing the last call to the dining car and who feel that they must have one more bite of the cake.

NOSTALGIA FOR YOUTH _

It is this nostalgia for lost youth that ls at the bottom of so many divorces of elderly people. It is what ails your wife and this other wo- man's husband. They delude themselves into thinking that their great love was for their boy or girl sweetheart. They do not realize that glamor is a garment we wear but once.

So my advice to you is not io give your wife a divorce, but to let her have her little romance about her first love. Our first sweethearts would bore most of us to death if we had much of their society.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl of 19.. For the past two years I have lived away from home with my aunt and uncle and cousins. and we had loads of fun together. Now that I am back home and working my parents treat me as if I were a small child. Every time I say l am going somewhere. no matter how innocent it is, they put me through the third degree about where I am going. why I am going, whom Lex- pect to see, and so on and on and on. They even disapprove of my spending the night with my best girl friend and think there is some deep, dark plot attached to it. ‘

My brother. who is only 15 months older than I am. is free to go and come as he pleases, but I am practically a prisoner. I know my par- ents love me and want to be kind, but I just can't stand living at home any more and being treated like a baby. What can I do?

JOYCE

ANSWER: Nothing. except leave home, and that you don't want to do. But your parents are like so many other fathers and mothers—~ they are sold on the idea that a 19-year-old girl hasn't enough sefise to keep out of the fire and that if they don't watch her at every turn she will leadan abandoned life.

Why parents think that girls who have intelligence enough to hold down good jobs and who have made themselves self-supporting are so feeble-minded that they can't be trusted to take care of the money they earn, and that Mother takes from them, and why they think that a girl who works every day side by side with men, who treat her just as they urauld their own sisters, is in mortal danger of being ruined if she goes out with one of these same men to the movies. no one knows.

But it explains why girls leave home; why they don't confide in Mother, and why so many girls marry to get a little freedom.

DEAR MISS DIX: ' I am going with a man who is about 23 years old and I am only 18. I am very fond of him. but he only comes to see me once a week. I telephone him every other night. because he asks me to do so. Do you think it is wrong for me to call him?

,_ V. H.

_ ANSWER: There is nothing wrong about it, but it is the worst pos- sible policy. When you throw yourself at a man's head. he always dodges. If you want a boy to come to see you, never ask him when he is coming, or try to pin him down to a date. Make yourself as inter- esting as you can. Show him that you enjoy his society. But make him feel that you can take him or leave him.

. By Uncle he

Bolldel looking after an invalid husband and a couple of teen-age daughters, Mrs. Dannie Glll of Cornwall takes care of a flock of hens and a milk cow, in addition to her household duties.

That in itself is quite an order; but this industrious woman has a flair for doing cross-stitch-embroid- ery mottoes, crochet work, punch work, cushion tops and what-have- you—all hobbies that go back to twenty years ago, when she learn- ed to do punch work while living in Boston.

One of her cross-stitch-embroid- ery mottoes, bearing the words. "Home. Sweet Home", hung on the wall of the room where this inter- view took place. A more pleasing bit of needlework would be hard to find. The letters. wrought in gold thread, stand out beautifully on a dark background.

Mrs. Gass next showed the writer a few samples of crocheted pat- terns in the form of centerpieces and edgings, all designed and wrought by the hands of this skill- ful nceclleworker. Her latest ven- ture in punch work is an 18 x 18 map of Prince Edward Island, a most beautiful piece of handiwork. showing the green fields, sky, and blue waters of the Gulf Stream. Under the caption “Cushion tops" she has many applique-woven de- signs that are lovely, to say the least. Indeed all Mrs. Gass's em- broidery is par excellent.

Next. she brought cut for my inspection a picture mat done with [he finest of materials. This is a 36 x 44 piece with a white horse inclining his head over a railing surmounting an old stone wall. The background is made up of trees. sky and cloud, giving the entire setting a natural and pleasing ef- fect.

Work of this type requires plenty of patience plus a lot of skill, but such is her hobby and she loves i0 do it.

She had said she could manage by herself But nothing in the world had ever been sweeter than to have Tony there, petting her. smiling at her, holding her hand. The doctor wiped off a place on her arm with alcohol. “I'm going to give you an injection of adrena- lin". he explained. "In about half an hour you should get a great deal of relief."

The needle hurt a little and Bar- bara winced, but Tony squeezed her hand and the pain did not matter. Nothing mattered when Tony was there. Live without him! Surrender him to another woman! Never. never thought Barbara.

"She should go to sleep now." the doctor told Tony before he left. Barbara began to feel better al- most at once. Tony turned out the lights. He sat down upon the edge of the bed again. l-ie took her hand. Barbara began to be quite drowsy. The burning flush was subsiding. "You needn't s y any longer. Tony," she whispered after a while. "I'm practically asleep."

Tony laughed. "Go on and sleep Your head off, Sugar. I'll stay." “But you're missing all the fun," faltered Barbara.

Tony patted her hand. "Skip it." he said. "I'm not missing any- thing."

Barbara thought of Rosemary. then somehow Barbara could think of nothing except that it was heaven to have Tony there and she was very tired and going io sleep. ‘You're so — so - sweet. Tony." she said in a groggy voice.

Tony reached over and kissed her eyelids shut. "You were never hard to take, Mrs. Blake," he whispered. . And then Barbara did g0 to sleep. It was late in the night when she awoke. The big house was very still and Tony was in bed beside her, his arm across he; protectingly even in his sleep. She was not sure how it had happened, but she knew that everything was all right again be- bwmn her and Tony.‘ The shadow which had been there was gone. Tony was aware of Barbara once more and in love with her just u he used to be. Rosemary did not possess even his imagination any longer. '
