When all is said and done, the confidence men committed a major error when they took Norfleet’s money.

Most people have been told ofte enough what to do when a person faints, and yet the usual procedures of crowding around and supporting the head are exactly the wrong things to do. Many cases of fainting are brought on by a lack of oxygen in a congested room, and in this case it is important that the individual re- ceive a large supply of fresh air. Fainting is always caused by a lack of blood in the brain and can in most cases be relieved by moving the patient quickly to an open window where a plentiful supply of air can be secured, allowing the person to lie flat on the floor without raising the head. The blood flows with gravity just as a liquid outside of the body dees, and the head should be lowered to allow a flow of blood to temporarily crowd the brain. All of the clothing about the neck and throat should be loosened, and above all it is important to avoid excite- ment when someone has fainted. Fainting does not usually result in death even when nothing is done, but the return of consciousness may be hastened by dashing cold water on the face and fanning fresh air to- ward the nose. If no cold water is available, slapping may be resorted to, and it is advisable to slightly raise the arms and legs so that the blood will flow toward the head. Spirits of ammonia held to the nose will stimulate the breathing, but it is not advisable for one who has a tendency to faint to resort to the continual use of the smelling salt ae which is certainly objection- able Fainting in a crowd of people is certainly an embarrassing situation, and persons, who feel that they are going to faint, can often avoid doing so by lowering the head so that a larger amount of blood will flow in- to the brain. If you are sitting, it is a good plan to lower your head to beneath the knees. You can pretend to be searching for some object on the floor. If you are standing, and wish to avoid embarrassment, you can pretend that you are tying your shoelace, until the faint feeling has Passed. If you have a continual tendency to faint, you may be sure that you are suffering from some serious dis- order of your circulation, and you should have a thorough examination ee ee ee ea they call them cactuses) alone.

(Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.) . ———“—(— Secon ee | Atthe Movies , ELTINGE THEATRE Far surpassing in emotional drama her previous work as a co- medienne, Coleen Moore ‘has given a performance in the stellar role of “Happiness Ahead” that unquestion- ably should be considered the finest her career. . Happiness Ahead” opened last night at the Eltinge, and remains for today and Saturday. Elements of comedv. romance and pathos have been well blended in this picture, endowing it with every quality of entertainment from humor to trag- édy. Through it all, the convincing work of Miss Moore dominates, whether the action be serious or comic, revealing in her a breadth of dramatic aiility rarely found. The story: of “Happiness Ahead” centers about an unsophisticated girl from a small town, who becomes the wife of a city card-sharp. Her disillusionment, and the subsequent regeneration of her husband, provide the framework for a plot that is as unique as it is interesting. Edmund Lowe, who plays copomre Colleen Moore, is provided with an unusual strong Tole—and he takes full ad- vantage of his opportunities.

Heart trouble and anemia are two of the most common causes of faint- ing, but any disease which lowers the vitality or causes a congestion of blood to some other part than the head may produce this symptom. In every case ‘he original disease should be cured, and measures should be taken for improving the circulation and building the general health. It is important that the right foods be used and that suffi- cient exercise be taken to encourage the circulation. Question: D. K. L. asks: “Is it harmful to the digestive organs to deep-breathe as much as ten or twelve times immediately after each meal?” + Answer: There can be nothing particularly harmful about taking a few breathing exercises after eat- ing, but the best time is probably when you are doing systematic phy- sical culture exercise. Question: .G. M. writes: “I con- sider you are doing a great and work and I hope you may be long spared to continue it. Am 85 years old and suffer from indigestion. My food consists of powdered milk (diluted) and a little brown bread, fruit, and a small quantity of bran as a laxative. I take plenty of ex- ercise, but still suffer from pain and lassitude after eating.” Answer: You should use more greens .in your diet, and be careful not to overeat on the starches, or to use bread and acid fruit together. Question: D. H. G. writes: “There are times when I get real weak, mostly in the arms and legs after I start work, and in the middle of the day my eyes want to close. I even get those weak tired feelings while sitting down. Is it anemia, or is it due to malaria?” Answer: I would certainly like to diagnose your trouble but cannot do so by mail, as a personal examin- ation is necessary to determine one disease from another. Go to a good diagnostician and find out if you have anemia or malaria.
