The rheumatic infection with which heart disease
in children may be associated In now recognized as
an infection Of the body as a whole, due TO some
undetermined bacterial cause.
This infection may concern not only the interior
Of the heart and the muscle. but also the sac, or
pericardium. in which the heart lies. the joints. and
even the nervous system.
In some cases infection Of the heart may be the
very first symptom: in others the earliest symptoms
may be repeated stiff neck. sore throat, growing pains.
or mild attacks of fever.
Sometimes II is possible to arrest progress Of this
type OF heart disease before valves OF the heart are
damaged. In many cases. however. the condition
may begin with a slight Of the muscle
Of the heart and gradually involve the entire organ.
Much depends also on the extent to which the sac
surrounding the heart is affected. II this becomes
inflamed and attached to the heart in any way. there
is considerable pain. Moreover. the is
associated with a development Of fluid which sur
rounds the heart and ~interferes greatly with its &C
ton.
Among the most frequent symptoms of involve
ment Of the heart are rapidity Of heartbeat, dilation
Of the heart and development of murmurs which the
doctor hears with his stethoscope. These murmurs
are due to the fact that the swsnings on the valves
and the dilstion OF the heart make 1t impossible for
the valves to close properly.

which the doctor hears and which differs from the
normal sounds Of the heart. BY listening at various
points on the chest, particularly at the point where
the apex or bottom point Of the heart lies and also
in the center of the chest. near the end Of the sec
ond rib. where the top OF the heart lies, the doctor
can tell to some extent which valves are attacked
and the severity IF the condition.
In rheumatic hear disease, as in all other forms,
rest Is Of utmost importance nj the earliest possible
moment.
The heart never gets complete rest until death. It
is possible, however, to rest It relatively by keeping
the patient flat on his back and by avoiding muscular
exertion of any kind. Rest in bed Of s1 months or
longer may sometimes restore the normal function Of
the heart.
IL is also important to watch the diet Of such
patients, feeding them with small amounts Of food
at frequent Intervals and avoiding every possible
chance Of overlooking the stomach. II there Ia a
tendency for fluid to collect in the body, the amount
OF fluid intake must be diminished.

UTILITY BILL
COMPROMISE
PREDICTED
International News Service


House and Senate members
seeking compromise on the pend
ing utility holding company bill
gathered again today, and hoped
to smooth out controversy on the
drastic death clause"
Both Senator Robinson Of Ar
kansas, the Senate Democratic
leader, and Senator Wheeler CD
Of Montana, and coauthor of the
holding company bill, predicted
there would be some utility legis-
lation at the present session Of
Congress. They would make no
predictions as to the form Of the
compromise.
The Senate lobby committee
turned its attention to the legal
talent which utility interests were
reported to have employed in their
fight against the holding company
bill, meanwhile. Committee mem
bers scheduled no hearings today,
but plan to resume tomorrow with
attorneys who were employed by
the various companies.
Former Representative James
M. Beck of Pennsylvania; Newton
D. Baker, who was Secretary OF
War under the late President
Woodrow Wilson, and John w.
Davis, were some of the attorneys
which the committee considered
calling. Senator. Schwellenbach
CD Of Washington, suggested to
the chairman, Senator Black CD
of Alabama, that he call all the
"big names" whom utility inter
ests have retained in any capacity
within the past year.
