ferentiate between this disease
and reflex epilepsy, which Is &C
tually nothing more than a
symptom of some other malady.
True epilepsy, in most cases,
is considered by veterinarians
to be incurable. Nevertheless,
cures have been effected If
taken in time.
Reflex or secondary epilepsy
is cured as a rule, because it
frequently has been caused by
either worms, disturbances OF
the intestinal tract, nervous
ness caused by distemper, con-
stipation or rickets. This con-
dition is usually found in young
animals. True epilepsy, however,
affects old and young alike.
If circumstances prevent you
from calling your veterinarian
at once, first aid should con-
sist of laxative foods and min
eraI oils in order to keep the
bowels open. Also your pet
should not be subjected to any
excitement and noise, as peace
and quiet are extremely neces-
sary for his welfare.
Any treatment Of either true
or secondary epilepsy, can only
be advised after a most thor.
ough examination of the pa
tient, searching for the true
cure Of the disease.

RAMS THREATEN
REDSKINS With
POWER OFFENSE.

The Cleveland Rams are the
most threatening team in the
National Professional Football
League. They threatened to hat
the Green Bay Packers, but fell
short of their objective.
They threatened to beat the Chi
cago Cardinals, but missed goal
from touchdown ruined them.
They threaten to beat the Wash
ington Redskins next Sunday
afternoon at Griffith Stadium.
In the Western division Of the
professional league, fans and
critics call Cleveland the Batter
ing Rams. They gained more than
900 yards in their two games,
which is testimonial to their power.
They scored II points against the
Packers of Green Bay, which is o
fair days work at any time.
ATTACK STALLS
They were not so powerful
against the Cardinals, scoring only
one touchdown. The Ra m S
stormed through to the 10-yard
line against both the Packers and
Cardinals. Troubles beSet them
at that point, and their attack
stalled.
The defense Of the Redskins has
not been too potent in the two
games played thus far. Phila-
delphia and Brooklyn gained a
total Of 454 yards in two games
and scored 80 points, 81 Of which
were on touchdowns and cenver-
sions. Four field goals were kicked
against Washington.
Corby Davis, erStwhile Indiana
star and No. / man on the college
draft list, smashed over Cleve-
lands touchdown against the Car.
dinals. He literally shot into clear
after hitting the line, forcing an
opening that apparently had closed
by the time he got to the line of
scrimmage.

BOLSTERS LINE
Hugo Bezdek, coach of the Rams
is working overtime in an effort tc
add polish and cunning to the
attack Of his team. He is reading
lectures on selection of proper
plays, a department of football II
which the Rams seem to have
been deficient all season.
It was bad selection of play!
rather than anything else tina
hampered the Rams against tn
Cardinals. Bezdek is prepared To-
