sPl-ILLS OF RAPID HEARTBEAT -I'.\ROX\'S.\I.»\I. TACHYCARDIA

When the heart suddenly begins to beat rapidly, perhaps 100 to 144 beats per minute instead of ‘l2. than alltri‘ -.ninutes or hoius sud- denly qtllets down to T2 again, it is natural to think that there is some- hing wrung ivith the heart. Rapid heart beating is called Tachycardia and when it occurs in paroxysms or sudden spells it is called paroxys- niil tachycardia.

No one has discovered the single or specific cause of tachycardia but a lllstDYy of the case often, but not ll.l\\'.1_‘;'S, shows a nervous or emotion- al temperament present although the patient outwardly may appear calm and not emotional.

lsctwccn attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia, the patient is free tron-i any heart symptoms suoh as rapidheortbeat, breathlessness, pain in chest. swelling of feet; but there is alwajys the knowledge and often the fear of future attacks.

Fortunately. there is the drug that stops rapid heartbeat and is therefore used when available. It ls quinidine, not quinine. and is given by mouth as with quinine. As quinidirie is not always available. As uiiinidine and quinine were unavail- able for civilians during World War II), physicians and patients use the various forms of treatment used before the discovery of quin- idlnc.

A popular treatment is the drug, syrup of ipecac (one to two tea- spoons). which by bringing on a vomiting spell stop the attack. Also, placing the finger down the throat practically always causes vomiting.

Another method is pressure of the palm of the hand on the middle oi the abdomen or slightly upward toward the heart: this causes pres- sure on the large nerve, the vagus, which supplies all the organs in the abdomen. This pressure seldom fails 1o stop an attack of paroxsmal tachycardia. Still another way of causing pressure on this big nerve and stopping an attack is bending over and trying to expel gas or wastes from the bowel. Another unrthod used to slop an attack is flfOflhlllg the fingers hard over the cjvcbalis.

THE SUCK OF DEATH

There was a man in Prince County whose name was Ham. Liv- ing with Ham were his brother Seth and their old mother, Sarah.

The day on which this story was born was Friday-Friday. the 13th of December in the year 1790.

I-lam and Seth had been 0601-1 pied for the past few days demol- ishing an old shed. They were preparing to finish the job thut Friday morning. Ham was carry- ing a saw and axe. l-Iis brother was armed with a couple of props and a croyvbar. Tray. their faith- ful shepherd dog, jumped about and bri-ked his joy.

The storm which had threatened since early dawn suddenly let loosc with all the fury of a hurricane. diiving great masses of swirling snowflakes straight at the faces of the brothers. The tree tops groun- eri and bowed as they staggered to keep their dignity in the teeth of such a blizzard. Folks said it was the worst storm Prince County ever experienced.

"Come back. boys!" cried a voice above the din of the howling tempest. "lt's not fit to be out in such weather. Come back, l say. before something dreadful hap- pens to you."

That was their mother. Sarah. speaking from the open door of thc little log-cabin.

"Don't worry. mother!" they shouted back. "We'll finish the jot and be home for an early din- nor." The dog still frisked about. continued to bark his pleasure.

They found the old building swaying crazily on its foundations. The gale tore at it in mad fitful gusts. threatening to capslze it at any moment.

"I'll put a couple of props under that left side." said Seth. “Then we can get a heavy fence pole and turn the old pike clean over on her side. ey?”

"Better make it snappy,’ tioned his brother.

Crash! crash! crash! the roof had fallen upon Seth's bended back before Ham had finished uttering his warning.

"For God's sake get me out of here!" cried the wounded man. “Part of a rafter must have gone clean through my back—pain-— blood—"

Ham worked like a fiend. throw- ing the debris to right and left. Tray barked incessantly. Seth's moans reached his brother above the fiendish voice of the wind.

At last he came to the end of the junk. It was a heavy board. Through the board protruded a large spike. the end of which was deeply imbedded in his brother's back, just between the shoulder blades.

Ham pulled on the object, taking a firm grip on the board with both hands.

Seth grltted his teeth and swore softly.

Another pull and the spike came away. Ham looked at it and saw that it was rusty. Then he looked at the ugly, jagged wound and saw the natural color of the flesh be- ginning to turn dark and purple.

Sarah hastily prepared a cot in one corner of the kitchen for her favorite son. To see him suffer- ing so made it hard for her to hold back the tears.

Ham had a flash of genius. It was the only chance of saving his brother's life.

"Lie flat on your stomach," Ham said to Seth. "And don't bother me with questions.”

By now the pain in Seth's back was terrible. The poison was Spreading. The white skin around the ugly Wound showed dark pur- ple. Sarah watched in rapt sil- ence while Ham bent low over the body ‘of his brother. A moment

Modern Etiquette IyIobertlLoo 0&0

Q. Is it considered polite to leave a little food on one's plate when through eating dinner?

A. This is not at all necessary. and is really inexcusable wasteful- ness. One should eat as much or as little as he chooses, but he should take onto his plate only as much as he feels capable of eating.

Q. Should an invitation to the wedding reception be included with the invitation to a house wedding?

Yes.

Q. What should a girl say when a man thanks her after a dance?

A. Merely smile. .or make some remark to express her enjoyment of the dance.

All that day and part of ihc night Ham sucked at the wound. Sarah applied hot packs while Ham rested.

Before midnight arrived Seth was sleeping soundly, the pain all but vanished.

By this unusual act the life of one man had been saved, another destroyed, for on Sunday. December 15, Ham passed away, the victim of blood poisoning. The next. story:

Repentont Girl Nevertheless Risks Much As Husband Never Forgets

I am in love with a woman who, in her early youth. took the wrong turn in the road. She has repented of her mis- _ 1 5m wining u, for. wide old bed and come to the chill

Do you think we can be happy together?

her.

It seems to mc the cruelest. the most ungenerous and the most unjust thing s man can do. after all, the man has married the woman of his own She has not deceived him. I-Ic

knew all about her bedruggled skirts, and if he married her he washed her slate clean so far us he was concern- cd. and by every law of sportsmanship he has no right to reproach her

Yet few men are big enough to do this. Ninety-nine nicii out of a hundred who marry women with a past revile them with it and insult them with it every time they get angry. and this shows what u ranklinu For this reason it is always danger- ous for a woman with a past to marry because, although her husband

The woman wlio has stumbled ofi’ of the straight and narrow path and who has repented of her wrongdoing often makes the most circum- spect. the trues‘. and best of wives, and there is no reason why a mun should not be happy with her if he can overlook the false step she has

A MOTHER

Absolutely refuse to give your deadbeat son another Let him be badgered by bill collectors and lie awake wonder- ing how he is going to get the money to pay his debts. That is the only way he will ever find out the value of money and the necessity for living

Also, it is not fair to your family lo deprhc them of the things they need in order to give the money to this big, husky lad tvho is perfectly Your son has came to the parting of His future depends on your having enough backbone to refuse to give him money now. no matter how he pleads nor ivhat he threatens So buck up and keep your pocketbook closed.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My wife says that if our boy wants to smoke she will not stop him through strict measures, because it may start. him doing things behind her back that she would not wish lilm in I say that force should be used to stamp out any craving my son

‘You cannot beat the desire to smokc out of a. boy, nor, can you force him to refrain from smoking by peremptory In fact, the stricter you are and the more you forbid a boy to smoke. the more likely he is to do it. because we all hanker after All that you will gain by taking severe measures is to make your boy lie to you and deceive you. But you can keepyounson from smoking by argument and per. suaslon and by convincing him that it is bad for a growing boy.

It may be said in passing and perhaps as a timely reminder for the Christmas Season at hand. that the stove-pipes and chimney at this house were duly cleaned this morn- lug. and thoroughly. in the twi- llPlll. of dawn. It takes a resolute will to rise from the warmth of the

Last evening Jeanie and I had attended a social event that mark- ed the close of the first play pre- sented by ilie local Dramatic Club. It was a pleasant affair held at inc hospitable home at the corner store. Its purpose was not only to nive the members an opportunity to say Au Revolr. but also to honor the talented Director and another for cordial and willing assistance given during ils season. The Dir- cctor is the English lady already on integral part of our community. just now enjoying the rare delight of having her mother, a clergymnfis wife, from over the sens us her guest. The other is a bit of a girl from another district. rather distant from ours, the cook in the com- cdy-drama. She is young. and brmvn-liaired, the braids lying broadly a-top her head. Endowed with a helpful happy nature, she has a broad merry smile that ripples easily into a laugh that is infectious, and will be a blessing wherever she is. The assembled company took much delight. after appreciative presentations. in re- viving a favorite pastime of long gone years and acted Charades. If in our enthusiasm, some details were over-looked It was surprising how soon the night slipped away to bring the rffrfslyment period.

This evening in a final prescri- iution which was the twenty-sec- ond and voted by many as the best performance of all. the play con- cluded. It has been a splendid suc- cc-ss. Now make-up can be put away; lines may be iorgdtien; every pleasant memory stored . . . but as James points out: “Ellen, just take a look at that ciockl"\
