CHAPTER 80

I must have screamed myself
into a stupor of exhaustion.
For while lay in kind Of
coma, someone clutched me
roughly by the shoulder.
I opened my heavy eyes, and
Saw two attendants, their
starched uniforms rustIing as
they touched me.
One of the attendants spoke.
Her voice was a kind of pc
culiar whine.
Get u.s." she said, 1--WE are
taking you to the doctor, get
up"
The one who spoke did not
raise her voice, but there was
something more terrifying in
that whining voice of ners than
there could have been in any
shout.
I tried to tell them that I
was terribly i'll; I begged them
to bring the doctor to s9e me.
A Pathetic Figure
That's where you're going
now," said the attendant to the
doctor, don't have the nerve to
think he can come to you"
I tried to follow chem, but
I fell on my knees, they half
carried, half dragged me to the
doctors office.
The physician was standing
with his back to the door when
I entered, he was a tall, fine
looking man, with curly iron
gray hair.
I took heart Of grace when
saw him, he looked like
human being, but he TUNED out
to be just an asylum doctor,
after all; he was not unkind,
he mas simply routine that's
all.
He asked me the usual ques-
tions, and put me through the
usual routine.
What is this?" was his final
question.
He thrust a bottle of cam
phor under my nose, I was
weak and swaying on my feet.
"Camphor," I managed to
whisper.

signs of insanity, she's a snow
bird; lock her up"
The attendants dragged me
backed and locked me up.
Not until the nett morning
did they bring me anything to
eat.
My breakfast was white Mexi-
can beans, swimming in the
grease of fat pork that was
none too we'll conditioned.
Gray was the color at Patton.
The walls were supposed to be
White-waShed. but they were
gray. Gray walls. gray furnish

that's Patton.
At least once a day we had
beans, sometimes they'd be for

breakfast, sometimes at one or
the other two meals
Once in a while the diet was
varied.
We'd get a grayish bowl, half
full of grayish-blue milk, some
grayiSh corn meal porridge, and
a cup of something gray and
thick they called coffee.
There was no provision for
even a sponge bath in my cell.
Living-Yet Dead
I was not supposed to wash
myself.
On the floor below me, right
under my cell, another new ar
rival was locked, suffering as I
was, without my drug, her con-
dition must have been a thou
sand times worse. I never saw
her, but day and night I heard
her, night and day she moaned
with every breath.
One Of my night attendants
was fairly kind. I struck up an
acquaintance with her, and she
really wasn't a bad sort at
heart, though she was in deadly
fear of being caught hobnob-
bing with the patients, some

If a person has recurrent
mysterious attacks Of hives or
eczema or asthma, he should
determine whether a certain
kind of food is the cause. He
may be allergic, as the term
is, to some special food.
The most certain way to do
this is to have skin tests made.
An extract of the suspected
food introduced under asceptic
conditions under the skin will
cause a swelling to form in the
skin at the site Of the erup-
ton. These skin tests are,
however, tedious, uncomfortable
and expensive. Another good
way, recently proposed by DR..
Rowe, is with elimination diets.

quently the cause Of allergic
diseases. The patient stays ex-
clusively on one after another
for several weeks. If none of
the looked-for symptoms - skin
eruption or asthma or nasal
discharge-occur, it may be as
sumed that these were orig
inally caused by some article
of diet not on the list.
The patient can then avoid
all other foods except these on
the elimination diets, which
are sufficient to keep him in
good nutrition.
The foul diests as proposed
by DR.. Rowe are as follows:
Diet No. /. Cereal: rice.
Bread: Rice biscuit. Meat or
fish: Lamb. Vegetables: Let
tuce, spinach, carrots. Fruits,
Jams and fruit drinks: Lemons,
pears, peaches. Miscellaneous:
Sugar, olive oil, salt, gelatine,
syrup made from cane sugar
favored with maple, olives Gun
stuffed.
Another Diet Given
Diet No 2. Cereals: Corn,
tapioca. Bread: Corn pone,
Meat or fish: Bacon and
chicken. Vegetables: Squash,
a sp ara gus, peas, artichokes.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

Fruits, Jams and fruit drinks:
Pineapple, apricot, prunes. Mis-
cellaneous: Sugar corn oil, salt,
corn syrup.
Diet No. 8. Cereal: Rice,
rye. Bread: Rye-rice. Meat or
fish: Beef. Vegetables: To
matoes, beets, string beans.
Fruits, jams and fruit drinks:
Grapefruit, pears, peaches. Mis-
cellaneouS: Sugar. vegetable
oil, salt, gelatin, syrup made
from cane sugar favored with
maple.
Diet No. 4. Milk alone for
the test period, two to three
quarts a day.
The milk diet should be used
only in those who have been
proved not to be sensitive to
milk. And it should not be
used except for short times.
It is intended to test out people
who are sensitive to a large va
riety of foods and with whom
it is difficult to place the blame
on any one.

Should She Make Up First?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For couple Of months I
went with a young man regu-
larly. Recently we had a quar-
rel because I wanted to 60 to
a certain dance and he did not.
He is very stubborn and refuses
to go anywhere I go. But his
friends tell me he loves me and
talks of me constantly.
Lately. met an old boy
friend and he has asked me
for steady company, but why
should 1 accept when I love
another? I like the boy-friend
only as a friend. Should I be
the first to make up with my
stubborn friend, or should I
forget him and go out with the
other? R. r. w.
You don't tell me how old
you are, but 1 think it would
be better if you took this boy
business less seriously And I
really do not see why you
should make the first move
toward a reconciliation any
more than the boy who gets
mad" and won't go places
where he knows you're going.
Suppose you should marry this
young man. you'd probably
spend your life catering to his
"mads" and whims until you
started a few of your own;
then there'd be trouble. My
advice is to have plenty of
friends and not think of set

crushed fingers and realizing
how delicate the ground she
walked on, how complicated and
precarious her situation.
She went into her room and
ran the bath water and started
getting out of her riding

her hand still hurt where he
had clenched it in his own,
and that her heart hurt her
too, vaguely, indefinitely, but
with a faint warning which
caused her eyes to widen with

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


I am 21 years old and, be-
fore my marriage, kept COM
pany with a man Is years my
senior for about three and a
half years. Now have been
married nearly three years. I
married to forget this other
man. 1 love him but he Is
married. I have been seeing
him on different occasions.
My husband is very cross at
times. He never goes anywhere
and expects me to enjoy myself
when I 60 alone. I know I
must leave this other man
alone. Please give me some
advice as what to do. I can't
explain myself like I want to,
but hope you will understand
and be kind enough to give
me an answer. D. A.
Without realizing it, you have
answered your own letter in the
sentence: "I know I must leave
this other man alone" We've
just got to learn to leave other
peoples property alone.
You made your first mistake
in marrying one man to forget
another; please, for your own
sake, don't add a second
blunder to that. No doubt your
husband realizes you are still
hankering after this 46-year-old
man and that's the real reason
Of his bad temper and unwill-
ingness to take you out with
him. Marriage, like any other
contract, has got to be lived up
to and, if you're critical of your
h us nd and day-dreaming
about someone else Vo1l're

There are certain things
you'll notice on this years
blouse5 to mark them 1881.
Many have the surplice line.
That is, they go on like a
jacket and tie or snap over to
one side-usually the left.
Incidentally-you're going to
see a great deal of this surplice
or diagonal closing this spring
in dresses, coats and suits as
we'll as blouses.
Another Is that lots are in
double-breasted effect-extend-
ing below the waistline and
fastening with four buttons,
two on each side of the center.
Higher Necklines Popular
Still another 1881 mark is
the tendency to higher neck
lines. Some of them really are
high-Such as the blouse
sketched at the left above.
Others aren't high, but merely

Mathews started to answer,
but at that moment Travers
and Mary Lou came in, booted
and spurred, with a hint Of
winter winds about them, Lor-
rimer's sallow face glowing and
Mary LOUIS like nothing so
much as a rose.

Lorry? I hope there's lots Of

Mary Lou changing her mind,
"and so would you. Lorry. You
need to get some fat on that
rack of bones" she assured him.
"Dr. Mathews, I don't suppose
you approve of stuffing be-
tween meals?"
II seem to be making an i'm
preston on this plate of toast"
the doctor told her. They we're
old friends by now. And in
your case, Delight, I certainly
do approve, for you use up
enough energy for six girls in

so fashionable it dimes late.

fessed.
There was a scratch at the
library door, and an inqulr1ng
whine.
"Oh, please, may he come
in?" Mary Lou begged. He's
been awfully good about wait
ing outside!"
Lorrimier rose and opened the
door. Konig bounced past him,
loped across the room and sat
himself down at Mary LOUIS
feet, with a huge sigh OF re-
lief, his red tongue flickering
across her hand an his entire
body one welcoming waggle.
Mary Lou tickled his pointed
ears and gave him a forbidden
lump of sugar.
Mathews raised an eyebrow
at Margaret Lorrimer, remem'
bering the long years when dog
dom had been banished from
this house.
Quite at Her Ease
Mary Lou drank ner milk
and lay back relaxed IN her
chair, her eyes on the small,
bright fire, far back on the
great stone hearth. She was
healthily tired; she was happy.
They'd had a glorious ride. she
and Lorry; she was improving.
She would make an expert
horsewoman some day, he had
said, for her hands were firm
on the reins, she had a nat
urally good seat and she was
quite fearless. He had praised
her today, more than ever and
she was coming to depend
upon his praise. And it was do
ing him so much good.
"That's what I'm here for
she reminded herself. She had
to remind herself. She was
growing into her role, it had be-
come part of her. She would
have frowned in sudden as
tonishment if anyone !:2d called
her Mary Lou. She had been

At first she had worked hard
in her part, now it was second
nature to her. Understanding
instinctively where a great deal
of the trouble lay, she had set
about eradicating it as much
as possible. She had made him
talk about the war, about his
days at the front, about his
service. He had, she knew
from his mother and from ex-
perience, been left with a
curious horror of airplanes.
Now and then one passed over
the house, and even lately,

become, it affected him un-

GAS PRESSURE ORDER
DUE HERE TOMORROW
Decision on Company's Petition for
Increase Will Follow Hear
ings on Plea.

An order deciding the Washington
Gas Light Co.'S petition for an increase
in the allowable pressures in gas mains
will be issued by the Public Utilities
Commission tomorrow No official word
was forthcoming today as to what pres
sures would be established by the or
der. Report has it that the pressures
will be an 8-inch maximum, with a
3-inch minimum. The present stand
ards are inches maximum and 2
inches minimum.
The merits of the higher pressures
were presented by the company's wit
nesses at a public hearing last month,
at which the fact that the maximum
pressures had been exceeded constantly
for Is years was also brought out. The
company asked for a range of 3 to 10
inches and staged a laboratory dem
onstration for the commission, designed
to show that gas appliances, properly
adjusted, burned more efficiently at the
10-inch pressure than at lower pres
sures.
1t is expected that any increase
granted will be conditioned upon an adj
justment of consumers appliances to
avoid waste of gas through higher
preSsures.

NAL S. DAUGHERTY
GIVEN new TRIAL
Appeals Court Cites Errors in Trial
on Charge of Misapply-
ing Funds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio, october 9.-Mal S.
Daugherty, former head of the defunct
Ohio State Bank at Washington Court
House, was granted a new trial on
charges Of misapplying funds by the
Ninth District Court of Appeals today.
He was under sentence of 10 years in
prison and a fine of $4,000. Daugherty
is brother of former United States
Attorney General Harry Daugherty.
Three Judges concurred in declaring
there had been gross error in admission
Of evidence and in the charge to the
Jury in the Common Pleas Court trial
and that the judgment was against the
weight of evidence.
The court declared the common pleas
trial Judge should have dismissed one
of the five counts, one that alleged
Daugherty had misapplied credit Of the
bank. Daugherty has been at liberty
under -$42, 900 bond.
Daugherty was indicted in Fayette
County on 81 counts charging miSap-
plication of funds and making false re-
ports of the banks condition. AS a
result of the closing of the bank,
Daugherty filed a petition in bank
ruptcy which has never been finally
adjudicated.
Daugherty was brought to trial on
only one of the Is indictments and the
others are still pending In Fayette
County Common Pleas Court.
During the senatorial investigation of
the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills oil
lease cases almost 10 years ago, Daugh-
erty, then head of a national bank at
Washington Court House, was sum-
moned to produce records of the bank
pertaining to certain deposits by per-
sons connected with the Harding adj
miniStration.

F. H. SMITH COMPANY
FILES SUIT ON BOND
$481, 272.98 Is Sought From Hart
ford Firm to Cover Pitts
Declarations.

The F. H. Smith Co. of Wilmington,
Del, brought suit in the District Su-
preme Court today against the Hartford
Accident & Indemnity Co. of 925 Fiji
tenth street, upon an indemnity bond
given by that company to protect the F.
H. Smith Co. from dishonest acts on
the part of any of its officers and en-
ployes.
The suit, filed through Attorneys Con-
rad H. Syme and w. w. Ross, claims
from the indemnity company the sum OF
$481 ,27298, the declaration alleging
that in 1927 G. Bryan Pitts, former
president and chairman of the F. H.
Smith Co.'S board, embezzled from the
company over SOL 900 and that during
1928 he embezzled over $883,000 and
over 1923, 900 during 1929.
1t is claimed by the Smith Co. that
the indemnity bond of 100000 pro-
tected the company to that amount in
each of the three years mentioned.
