A license can be obtained in any

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it prop

who hears it TO tell everyone in
town? BLUE EYES.
Girls should be very careful
about discussing boys on the street.
1t is bad taste to do so. The girl
who repeated it did not do the
right thing because she INDUCED in

Petit Nal.

Itt4I -Hdl.
Epilepsy probably is not a specific
disease, but rather a group of con-
ditions characterized by seizures of
commissions or Inconsistencies, or
both Transient loss OF conscious
ness without convu. sions or witch
ing is known as petit NAL, and
seizure with Commissions followed
by loss of consciousness or attend
ed by loss OF consciousness is call
ed grand NAL
In petit nal the seizure is often
very brief in duration. The patient
is noticed suddenly to stop what
ever he is doing: perhaps the face
becomes pale and eyes fixed; he is
temporarily gone then he re-
sumes where he left off, being una
ware that anything has occurred.
Sudden momentary ''fainting or
"sleepiness" without cause or warn
ing; giddiness; sudden strange, I'm
accountable sense OF fear; sudden
strange or outlandish feeling that
the body has swelled to enormous
proportions, that the head floats at
great height, etc, sudden chok-
ing sensation in the throat; sudden
scream; these and many other
strange sensations coming on at
irregular intervals and without ap-
parent cause are described by per-
sons who have petit NAL
There is considerable evidence
that the moderate use of alcoholic
beverages by either parents pre-
disposes to epilepsy in the off
spring. Epilepsy seems to prevail
more frequently in families tainted
by syphilis, and in families in which
various mental disturbances or in
sanity may be found Contrary to
a popular notion, epilepsy is not
more likely to occur in the children
of first or second cousins, nor is
feeble mindedness or other defect
favored by consanguinity, unless it
happens that alcoholism, syphilis
or mental defects are present in
the family, in which case of course
a union of cousins would double
the chance Of defective heredity.
Epilepsy nearly always begins in
early life. Seizures resembling cpl
lepsy developing after the age of
80 are usually caused by syphilis;
and such seizures beginning after
45 are usually due TO arterial hard
ening or brain damage from
changes N the arteries.

MRS ELI ZAgETE TLewQSQN

Dear Mrs Thompson: / am Is
years of age and | have been ana
am very sensitive. If somebodT
bothered me or scolded me the
least bit l would cry and couldn't
stop for long while. If l did
stop | would start again. | am
also very nervous and am taking
doctors treatments. Ugly pimples
are coming out on my face. Do
you think it is because l am cry
ing. as l can't help it, The tears
come even if | don't want them.
HELENA d.
Your pimples and crying are
both caused by a nervous physical
condition. You need a change and
should be with people who make
you happy and do not scOld yoH
If you are going to school | think
you should stop for awhile and
take care of your health. If you
are working and your employer is
unkind you should change your po-
sition.. And if you are just staying
at home | believe il would help
you to go to work where you would
have to keep regular hours and
would have big interest. Above
all you must stop worrying anil
must force yourself to stop think
ing about your condition and NOR
bid things. Exercise all you can.
Walk a lot and breathe deeply.
Also get out with young people and
have as good time as you ca"
1t will do no good to worry about
your tears A great many girls of
nervous temperament cry just as
much as you do. OF course it is
an unfortunate state, but you will
outgrow it l am sure.
Tears weaken the eyes temporar-
lily but not permanently.
Dear Mrs Thompson: l am 4
girl of 10 and have been for the
past year a chum to girl of 10.
Then l became acquainted with an
other girl from out of town. | in
yited the latter down to see me-
and this made my chum jealous, for
she wouldn't speak to me all the
/ time during the other girls visit
This made me very angry on the
other girls account, as | don't
think it made her visit very happy,
for we had planned for such a good
time together.
| have recently tried to act indie
pendent towards my chum, but Il
seems impossible for l love her
although j don't want her to think
/ l am running after her and l posi-
lively won't drop my out of town
friends friendship.
Do you think l should drop my
chum entirely? People tell me 70
drop her and go with my other
friends by all means. Do you think
l should make up first? l have
tried hard to make up with her
but have only failed. l don't think
she knows | have tried, though.
KATHLEEN
Your chum loves you or she
would not care so much because o
your friendship with the out II
town girl. | do not think you
should drop her. Do not run after
her, of course. but speak pleasant
