Representative NJ. Alfred

This much was admitted today

why the indictment, which was

the Governor range from an alleged
plot to murder representative to
habitual drunkenness and other of

legislature yesterday in a circular
charging the Str rdard Oil Company
with being behind the impeachment
move, and that some of the legis-
lators has accepted bribes from the
Standard Oil Company to defeat the
gasoline tax bill for the passage of

After distribution of the circular,
issued by the State highway depart
ment. the senate passed a resolution
unanimously demanding that Gov.

who gave them.

end, thus quieting rumors that he
would resign under fire.

Answer: Those with pyelitis usually

EPILEPSY is DURABLE

There are q number Of diseases
which may simulate epilepsy. but Il .
Lersnn has once seen true eptleptl'
lit. he can usually thereafter easily
distinguish the disease. An epileptic
attack is often preceded by some
laura" such Is q hallucination, 2
sense OF construction in some part OF
the body, or q feeling Of anxiety. AT
the beginning Of the attack, the pa
tient usually emits q sharp cry and
falls unconscious upon the floor with
out making any effort to protect HIM
self against injury from falling. The
voluntary muscles undergo acute
spasms followed by tonic commissions,
during which the muscles Of the face
and jaws may work furiously and
often cause the tongue to be bitten.
The mouth may froth. Loud breath
ing follows and then q profound sleep
from which it is impossible to awaken
the patient for time.
Patients sometimes have nocturnal
attacks of epilepsy for years before
they discover 1t. They may awaken
in the morning with q sore tongue
which they have bitten during sleep.
or they may find themselves ex-
hausted after what they often con-
slider nightmares.
These attacks may recur one after
another or only once in several years.
There are also minor attacks of epi-
lepsy, known as petit NAL. which are
not typical fits, but only monsentary
loss of consciousness without falling
in which there may be flushing Of
the face. sweating and headache, and
a variety of similar symptoms.
Sometimes epilepsy is complicated
by twilight state, lasting from an
hour to several months. wherein long
journeys or other acts may take place
without the patients knowledge. Some
Of the acts in this stage may be quite
natural. but they may be extremely
violent. Murder or incendiarism may
be committed. AS the disease pro-
crosses, the patients character
changes-easily enraged, there is ego
tism. lying and an apparent disregard
for ethics. Under excitement. GRIM
inal acts may be performed The
disease sometimes terminates in
death or insanity.
Not every convulsion can be con-
sidered as epileptic, however. since
there are digestive commissions of
early childhood, hysterical attacks
from tumor pressures, and various
types of poisoning and intoxications
Heredity, accidents. alcoholism and
various diseases and reflex conditions

YOUR
CHILDREN
y Nur R6ezs Ba,za7
o926 By NBA Serv;ce.lnc

Mr.. Smith sat down to the table
and looked at the children.
MAX. 60 and wash your hands.
Ruth throw that gum away. No don't
stick it under the table. Junior,
where is your handkerchief? Stop
that shifting"
"Oh, John, you're SO hard on the
children! I wish you wouldn't be
90 cross" plead Mrs. Smith plain
lively.
I'm not hard on Them" said her
husband. But I don't intend to eat
any dinner opposite paws like Max's,
and Ruth knows dislike gum. And
certainly when junior needs to blow
his nose he needs to blow it, that's
all. I'm not cross. I'm just tell
ing them"
But the children were peeved as
well as their mother. Their father
had used q crisp tone they resented,
and 1t took several reassuring looks
from their mother to bring back their
good humor. The looks seemed to say,
II know he's q tyrant, but we have
to put up with 1t. Don't mind him."
Now Mr.. Smith was right and he
should have had the support, not the
censor of hts wife. It was not the
first time he had spoken Of the
hands. the gum, and the sniffles.
Parents Should Agree
Mrs. Smith should have said, "Chil-
dren, I wish you would listen to your
father. I think It's high time you
were remembering about those
things"
A house divided against itself. even
in little matters like these of the
Smith dinner table. Is all wrong. It
should not be so. Parents must CO.
operate II there is to be any success
in training the children.
One father said. Il don't know
much about children. I don't know
much about training. I leave the
matter 6f discipline to their mother.
Whatever she says is right"
This is rather begging the question.
or lodging the issue. It is the other
extreme and don't recommend it,
but at that it is better than pulling
the opposite direction. That never
gets the children anywhere, or parents
either.
