QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Spinal Fluid Test


Nerve specialist says l should have
a sample of my spinal fluid tested.
Would this be very painful to have
done? Why should it be necessary,
and are there any i'll effects after
wards? mrs. A. >
Answer-It is as painful as having
a tooth filled. It is essential for the
positive diagnosis Of some otherwise
obscure diseases of the nervous system.
Sometimes the patient has consider
able headache after spinal puncture,
but usually there are no unpleasant
after-effects.
A Burns a Burn
Please advise what, if anything. can
be done for burn from too strong
lysol solution applied on pimple on
the forehead. Will the discoloration
be permanent? Miss M. Ed
Answer-If the skin was not blis-
tered or burned away there should be
no permanent mark The best remedy
is a strictly let-alone policy. applying
powder or cosmetic paint to conceal
the blemiSh till healing is completed.
Fat Discrimination
have gallbladder trouble and have
been told to use very little fat but to
use olive oil instead. Will corn oil
take the place of olive oil. or is it too
considered a fat? MRS. NJ. j.
Answer know of no reason why
any of the fats or oils you mention
should be preferable to the fats in
meat. egg yolk, cream, etc. Any fat
or oil in the diet tends to cause con-
traction of gallbladder and drainage:
but these fats and oils contain cho-
lesterol, which enters into the forma-
ton of most gallstones, and hence
physicians sometimes advise the
omission of such foods.

Promptly, in accordance with

The doctor was also photo

at Dougherty, who was pressing

an honest civil servant, but he was
by no means blind to opportuni-
ties for spectacular public impress

sent their glibbest sob sisters to
write up the doctor. And soon
after their stories appeared the
"mash notes" began to arrive ct

KITTY GORDON PENNILESS
New York, Jan. 9.-We who plod
Broadway trails have often tried to
find out what had become Of Kitty
Gordon, militant suffrage worker who
peddled copies Of q birth control
magazine to the after theater crowds
She became something Of landmark
and big street character, standing
night after night in the shadow Of
the Metropolitan. Then. of a sudden
she vanished.
Well, press dispatch advises that
Kitty was found penniless in an old
rooming house in Greenwich Village.
But a few years ago there was a
neat little o. Henryesque tale going
the rounds about Kitty. She had oc-
cupied her street niche alone and
without competition. Then, one night,
a man took up his stand few feet
away. The story went that there was
a growing romance.
Yet Kitty went on selling her birth
control propaganda. And the paper
the man sold was matrimonial agen-
cy sheet!

II looked and instantly recog-
nizcd one Of the elderly
watchers as Edmund L. Fos-
ter, the father of the murdered
girl. But who was the other-the
short, infinitely neat and feeble
old gentleman with the gloved
slim hands, the walking stick and
the gardenia in his buttoHhole?
"That is Alexander Maskell, the
millionaire architect" exclaimed
my chief. "Thus the father of the
victim and the father Of the ac-
cused face each other at the Grand
Jury's door. Nice touch for the
tabloids tomorrow"
But the expression on the face
Of Thatcher Colt was not amused.
1t seldom vas when he passed the
Grand Jury room. As we fastened
to our favorite lunch room, he
talked vigorously of his disagree
ment with the District Attorney
and his case against Maskell. -
"But think Of the evidence"
I ventured.
1.-THE Grand Jury will cat it up.
That is what is the trouble with
our Grand Jury system. There
you have bunch of men, twenty
three of them, with the sixteen
constituting a quorum, and if only
twelve of those men think that
Maskcll is guilty, they will vote a
true bill, find an indictment, and
leave a stain on his character for
the rest Of his life. All this, and
remember, Tony, that only one
side will be heard by those Grand
Jurors. Almost always, Dough-
erty, or any other District Attor-
ney, can get the indictment he
wants. I know, and you know,
that an indictment is not supposed
to count against a mans charac-
ter. But It does, just the same.
The general public always believes
the indicted man guilty and if he
eventually is discharged, they gen.
orally think it was due to some
kind Of influence. Even if Mas
kell gets out Of this, the indict-
ment will ruin him. The whole
system is wrong, it is expensive
and inefficient. The Grand Jury
acts upon a superficial knowledge
of facts and very little knowledge
of the law. And so, / am ashamed
to say, in this particular case, does
my old friend, Merle Dougherty.
He is making an ass Of himself and
q martyr out Of Maskell."

haunted BY old buildings where
roamed the leanest, most predatory
felines on Manhattan Island.

the builders went to work, Ill the cats
departed-save one clan. This tabby
stuck and moved from work.shed to

some considerable recognition when
