DIR. Peter Lindstrom, former
husband of Ingrid Bergman, the
movie star, presented his new
method for ultrasonic brain sur
gerry for the first time last night

yet passed the first stage and
that results should not be re-
garded as final.
DR.. Lindstrom said that so far
he had restricted his new method
to patients suffering unbearable
pain or those not expected to
live long.
He said that Of Is he treated
there was considerable improve
ment in nine cases and slight
improvement in six" All IS

the State Department to dig
deeper into his charge that some

If YOU HAVE TROUBLE getting to sleep,

here's news of real Importance to you.
News that promises more refreshing
sleep tonight and brighter, more ener-
getic day tomorrow.
Recent medical studies indicate that
a vital substance in your blOOdstream
may have lot to do with how well you
sleep. This substance, known medically
as blood sugar, is an important source Of
nourishment for the brain.
At bedtime, and especially during the
long nighttime hours without food, your
supply of blood sugar may become seri-
ously lowered. Thus, your brain and nerv-
GUS system may suffer from insufficient
''sleep food" You may feel too nervous
to 60 to sleep. .. too restless to sleep well.
HOsv yox can help yOar body
get needed 'sLeeb foOd''
Dpgs or sleepingpills can't supply 'tsleep
food." Andsweet, ugaryfoodsanddrinks
provide only quick jet Of sugar that is
too quickly burned up. But here is q way
"a delicious, dru0lcss way-to help your
body get needed "sleep food." This sleep
aid is a POSTUM "NIGHrcAP"-ad delicious
drink made with Instant Postum and
hot milk, taken shortly before retiring.
Your Postum 'Nightcap" is good-tast-
ing and contains NO drugs to harm
you. Moreover, your Postum milk drink

that is s|OsOly converted into blood sugar.
Thus, it helps assure the sIO,O, steady Jgo,o

why Postum ''Nightcap" helps you
get refreshing sleep the kind that leaves
you rested, looking and feeling like new:
So safe. 50 eGSy-fsy II!
Every night before you retire, fix your
self Postum 'Nightcap." It's easy-add
a rounded teaspoon of Instant Postum
to cup of hot milk, and stir. Try this for
just lOdays. Then see if you aren't sleep

Doctors have always known that q warm

The recent blood sugar studies offer ad-
ditional reason why. As your own doccGi
can tell you. the Postum ''Nightcap" is
ideal: warm, relaxing drink that tastes

Drug Wholesaler
And 7 Others Seized
In Police Auto Trap

A man police described as a
"big wholesaler" Of narcotics
here was seized yesterday with
four others in a car hauling
heroin from New York to Wash
ington.
Capt. John Layton. head Of
the police narcotics squad, led
. party Of eight detectives in
four cars who laid a trap for the
expensive convertible after q tip
that the car was coming into
the District on U. S. Route /.
Three Are Charged.
Charged with violation Of mar
cotic laws were:
Augustine M. (Teeny) Hill, 81,
eolored, of the 1900 block Of Yer
mont avenue NV, identified as
the wholesaler Of narcotics.
Velma Langford, 80, colored,
Of the 1900 block of Vermont
avenue NV, described as Hills
common-law wife, and a dope
addict. She lives next door to
Hill.
Eileen LaMare, 27, colored,
who lives with the Langford
woman. She also was described
by police as a drug addict.
The other colored men in the
ear were questioned by police.
No charges were placed against
them.
Capt. Layton said two ounces
OF pure heroin were found in
the car, one ounce in each
woman's purse. He estimated the
market value of the heroin, cut
and put in capsules, would be
more than $4,000.
Tip Leads to Trap.
The captain said he learned
two women would bring IS ounces
Of heroin into the District. Act
ing on this information, Capt.
Layton laid his trap at the Dis
trict line with one police car on
Route l at 5 am.
Shortly before II a. M, the
ear was spotted on University
lane. The police cars finally
forced 1t to the curb at Twelfth
street and Michigan avenue NE.
Capt. Layton said detectives
had been watching Hill for a
year and believe he has been
operating as a wholesaler for
about that long. His record
shows five arrests for assault
with knives since 1910. Hill said
he was not an addict, Capt.
Layton added. Hill Is a vegetable
huckSter..
Both the women admitted
using narcotics, according to
Detective Sergt. Joseph Gabrys,
who like Capt. Layton gave up
his day off to help set the trap.
Federal narcotics agents also
