Gail went over to the basin and
scrubbed her hands. "We'll take
blood test, Carman. Then Wen see
what we can do"
When they left, Gail thought:
There must be some way to put
Nina in a better home, where she'll
get attention and care. She tele-
phoned Burke and asked his advice.
81 doubt if you can legally take
the child away from its parents"
he said. 81 wish you'd stop worry
ing about that Springdale scum!"
She hung up, disappointed. Slow
ly she went into her room to dress
for dinner. She was brushing her
hair, with hard, even strokes when
Lily Lanahan stopped by the open
door.
MAY l come in, Doctor?".
"By all means"
This wasn't the Lily Lanahan
who'd been so antagonistic to Gail.
Nor was it the girl who'd tried to
take her own life. Lily was a new
person; she had gone through her
personal agony and triumphed. She
had been living with Gail since she
left the hospital, but was leaving
tomorrow for New York.
Stephen Mccormick had solved
the problem of her future. She was
going off with the Red Cross for
overseas duty, and Stephen was
taking care of her family. How
kind Stephen was!
Lily walked restlessly across the
room. "Well, so long, Beauchamp,'
she said wistfully. "It's been nice
living here. But am l glad to get
outl Am glad :" Her shoulders
shook. ooh, DOCTOR" she choked, 81

"You must" Gail said compass
sionately. For Ralph Kramer was
getting married a week from Fri
day.
Gail sat at the breakfast table.
Belisha purred slyly at her feet,
begging arrogantly for handout.
Katie brought in the Beauchamp
Chronicle, carefully but clumsily
refolded.
"You gotta have a new dress for
Miss Lucienne's wedding" Katie
announced.

look"
Calls maid lowered over her, big
and bulky in her orange seersucker
housedress, and for moment, Gail
longed to turn to that capable
shoulder to find comfort and solace
there.

Now. we come to another point:

based on the assumption that the
United States will have a national
income OF 100000. 900, according
to Henry Wallace, lin terms OF the
present level of prices and a 40

This question OF national income
Is very confusing. The figure for
1929, for instance, Is $4,000, 900.

national income will be about
$4,000, 100000 But IL this years

As they came in, Carman Serma-
limo and her little girl, Gail realized
instantly that Carman was i'll. She
was terribly thin. Her red-checked
taffeta dress hung loosely on her.
But her vivid face was brightly
painted, and she wore a rather ex-
pensive-looking gardenia hat on her
thick hair.

moment. A waif of a child, dark
imp with sly animal eyes under the
matted bangs and tremulous,

she cried, and with glance at her

"She amt crazy for it."
"Nina, do you remember to keep
your mouth closed when you
breathe?"
"Yes, doc" the little girl said
proudly.

moment later, to Carman, who was
busily repainting her mouth. Her

bluntly to Carman,

"Oh, l fixed that up" Carman
smiled blandly. "My neighbor Mrs.

Cause Unknown

The exact cause Of epilepsy is
not known. Various forms Of treat
ment have been employed includ-
ing rest, freedom insofar as pos
sible from physical and mental
strain, and the use Of drugs such
as phenobarbital and dilantin.
Doctor Captain suggests the idea
Of replacing these commissions
which may come on at any time,
by electrically-induced commissions
which can be brought on when de-
sired. This form Of treatment, he
does not believe should replace
the methods carried out at present
but might well be employed in ad-
dition TO them.
He has tried the treatment on
fifteen men who have been under
treatment for periods ranging
from three to nine months. The
patients chosen were those hav-
ing commissions two or three times
q month who were under treat
ment with the drugs mentioned
and who were in generally good
physical condition. The convul-
sions were induced before break
fast either once or twice a week.
The convulsion produced lasts
only a few moments, then is fol-
lowed by 4 short period Of uncon-
sciousness. Finally, there may be
q period Of five to thirty minutes
when the patient is somewhat con-
fused mentally.
OF the fifteen patients treated
in eleven instances the number of
epileptic attacks was considerably
reduced. In seven patients also
who were showing signs Of mental
disturbances, these conditions also
were benefited. No complications
in any way alarming were noted.
In . few Of the patients there was
an increase in the frequency of at
'tacks following the electrical treat
ment, but this did not last longer
than the first month and then was
followed by = reduction in the
number Of attacks. In some cases
it was necessary to use the elee-
trical treatment only once a week,
since more frequent employment
produced some mental confusion.
1t would appear that this type
Of treatment may be a valuable
aid in making the lives Of persons
with epilepsy more livable.

THE modern view on epilepsy
Is that it is a disease due to some
disturbance Of the electrical equi-
librium Of the brain. 1t has been
possible by means of an electrical
device TO make tracings OF the
brain waves.
In epilepsy, according TO Doctor
Gerald Captain Of England from
time TO time an excessive amount
of energy accumulates in the brain
and the CONFUSION which occurs
in epilepsy is the form in which
this energy is discharged. In epil-
epsy, as you may know there is
loss Of consciousness together
with commissions or twitching and
