EpiIep,sy

A. D.. Writes: "..Should. like to have some information on 4the question of epilepsy. The 7. man 7. I have in, mind had what is called a .boneflap operation, but it disclosed very. little. Gle has also been taking luminal bles but with apparently. no effect. Do you know .os any institute that is doing any, spe- cial research work in this connection that might be able to, advise us?"
 -Epilepsy is not the name of disease but of symptom that may occur in many different diseases. In this respect it much resembles head ache. When in any given case, the cause cannot be discovered, it often happens that the best thing that can be done is to try and, prevent the symp. tom. from appearing by careful regu- lation of diet, habits of life and work, with perhaps. the administration of drugs that diminish the excitability of the nervous system. These drugs how ever do not cure, but merely alleviate the disease. Many books and numerous articles in. medical journals have been written on the subject of epilepsy, but we know of, none written for laymen. Every case must be treated as an individual and should be. studied by a competent physician. who has had a large expert
 ence in nervous and mental diseases

THE OyERrRAINEp CHmD

/
 Every now and then physician arises in wrath to. remark on the pres ent life of the child and the adolescents, known as 'flappers." Those who are confronted with the care of the grow ing child realize that the constant strain associated with the social and seduca- tional duties of modern civilization is bringing about changes in the nervous and psysical constitution that are not likely to yield a healthful and satfs- factory middle age
 Dr. John Lovett Morse protests vigorously against overtraining that. is begun in infancy. Babies are handled, fondled and shown to frirnds--admir- | ing when present and critical when ahsent--when they should be let alone and allowed to sleep and digest their food" In series of discussions on the subject, he ventures a number of aphorisms, which the parent may well bear in mind :'
 Babies shoul dbe played with, talked to and mothered but only for limited period and at reasonable time.
 The child before school age should have nap in the day time. V
 Young children are, likely to play
  fully to prevent oFer-fat tigue., Z.
 Long walks and long automobile rides are fatiguing to the young child, and it responds to over-fatigue by irritabih- ty,. disturbance of digestion and loss of weight. ss4 s'....i &
 When a young child is snappy, ir- ritable, peevish and hard to get on with, does not want to eat, is restless at night and not :thriEing," says Dr. Morse, there is something the matter with him, and the difficulty sometimes is simply that the child is over.trafned."
 The usual school work given to child is not sufficient, to-. fatigue it. However, the extras in the form of mu. sic and dancing cause additional strain, particularly for the little girls. The boys take so little interest in these things, that they are not likely to over- tire themselves with them.
 The particular problem, of modern civilization is the movies. Up to the age of ten years, there is the possi- bility of oYer-excitement and fright through poor selection of pictures, in addition. to the possibility of exposure to infection from taking the child into crowds where there is coughing and possibly bad ventilation.
 The poor child is less likely to suf- fer from overtraining than the spoor little rich child The latter's program is full of music, dancing. elocution and the study of lessons. Moreover, there are games to be played; social functions to attend and religious instruction. There is no time left for spohtaneotis voluntary play and iamusements; and hardly enough sleep, Indeed, Dr.. Morse suggests that if the children were or. ganized into union there would be q universal and -justifiable strike, not for higher pay, but for shorter hours.

new BUSINESS DECLINES
FOR 800 LUMBER MILLS
Production and Shipments, How
ever, Far Ahead of Same

Reports received from $50 of the
chief commercial lumber mills of the
country show that while production in
creased and shipments declined slight
ly for the week ending February 16
from those Of the previous week, new
business decreased noticeably. Com
pared with the corresponding week of
1928. there were large increases in pro-
duction and shipments, but a consider
able decrease in current orders or new
business.
The untitled order file of 271 south
ern pine and west coast mills fell off
y, 100000 feet from the previous week
The 141 southern pine mills reported
their untitled order file at the end of
last week as 303.064,I93 feet against
20,047,4l9 for the week before; 1870
west coat mills gave their untitled or
ders as 464,146,71S as against 469,6I0,-
635 4 week earlier for 131 mills.
For all the $50 mills shipments were
100 per cent and new business &c per
cent of actual productions: for the
southern pine mills these percentages
were SO and n, respectively, and for
the west coast mills 92 and 80. The
366 mills having a normal production
figure for the week gave their actual
