Agonizing Neuralgia of Face

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. IN THE whole catalog of pain, there in probably no pain mote devasting than that produced by the condition known an trigeminal, or facial, neuralgia. While not serious in itself. thia condition in responsible for surh intolerable agony that It may have dinantrmin consequences. According to Or. Paul C. Racy, at Chicago. if it in not relieved it may even lead to suicide. Victims of trigeminal neuralgia frequently becomes recluses. refssing all companionship and concentrating their lives on the one object of avoiding pain. Painful Attache Since palnfnl attacka are often Brought on by talking, eating, or touching the face, such patients remain silent, refuse to eat and become dirty and unkempt through ’fear of touching the head or face. It is possible In some cases to relieve the pain of trigeminal neuralgia temporarily by Injecting alcohol into a nerve. Some cases have been relieved by the use of targe doses of vitamin B- complex. I However, often these methods do not suffice, and operation for cutting the nerve is necessary. Acording to Or. Bucy. no patient is too old to have this operation earned out it u poswhie u> opuig complete relief by such operate **> tar* wetkeged by .. .. j,. .

This instltulon will he tailed hy the forward looking title of Utopia College, and will provide courses in economic rends, business cycles, investmerits, and real estate. Such in struction, according to Babson, will providt preparation for the next depression, and might even prevent one. The school is open to college graduates and non gradu ates over 3ff years of age If knowledge of their origins tan prevent depressions, such a school should be crowded, but the men upon whom the economic health of the country depends are probably too busy to go to school. o o — Some of the parks ami recreational spots that Decatur offers may seem commoh place to our regular residents, but to visitors, including the22s students at the Ruppert Auction School, we wish to call their attention to a few There Is the swimming pool at the city plant on Third street, surrounded by flowers and beautiful trees legion .Memorial park on Winchester street, offers a shady spot for those who wish to stand an hour or so out of doors. Hanna Nuttman park west of the city is a nature lover's paradise, with camping facilities. Worth in a n Field has ts baseball games three evening-- a week, and If you like the sport, you’ll be then 1 not only to enjoy the contests, but evening's coed breezes For fraternal members, the doors of local clubs are open Outside of the city you'll find Hun Set Park and Shroyer lake, both places welcom ing guests w|tp ,'Se|k relat itjon fr<lm the daily grind. To top it off, drive around town and see the new homes and outstanding industrial plants. Then too, our churches welcome visitors. o ,_ -0 The Two Parties: Name the two chief political parties Democrats aud Republicans? Not so. Pearl Buck, the novelist, told the General Federation of Women's Clubs the other day. These, she says, are just names. The real line is between the world minded and the individual minded, those who think that the t'nited States should actively try to pull the world out of its desperate situation. and those who would wash their hands of it all. Logically the major parties should divide along these lines, with one group in one party and the other in the opposition. Actually American parties are not huilt that way. Both parties have inter ventionists and isolationists, hightariff advocates and low-tariff advocates. Congressmen who legislate for the employer and Congressmen who try to help labor It is not logically defensible, but it has always been so; and. it may be suspected, will always be.

some disease such a« high blood pressure, diabetes or lung disorders. The operation usually requires from 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Immediately after the operation., the patient is allowed to sit up. and occasionally is even allowed out of bed on the first day. About the fourth or sixth day, he is discharged from the hospital. Although some sensation la lost in the face, the appearance of the face and the movement of the muscles Is little changed. If any paralysis does occur, which may happen occasslonally, it usually disappears within a few weeks. In some cases, it is necessary to cut the branches of the nerve which serves, the eye. This renders the first part or ’h» eyeball, or cornea insensitive. In such instances. the eye must be protected againat hits of dust and other material which may get into it and not he noticed, bacauxe of the lack of sensation. This ia done by cleansing the eye each morning and keepng the handx and firtkers away .'rom the eye, and wearing a transparent shield over the eye when out of doors If the eye should become inflamed in spite of these precautions any object in it abould bo removed and the eye vrdabed o« wnll »» setieepuc aolutlOQ

Meanwhile, in her London .tudlo, Henrietta wa. In the throe, of completing her latent mnaterplete—the blind Naualeaa. The aearrh for Ju.t the right model had been long nnd arduoun. CHAPTER THREE THERE WAS a blind look in Henrietta’s own eyes a* she walked. She saw nothing of what waa around her. She was strainingstraining the whole time to make that face come nearer. . . . She felt sick, ill, miserable. And then, suddenly, her vbdon had cleared and with normal human eyes she had seen opposite her in the bus which she had boarded absent-mindedly and with no interest in its destination—she had seen yes, Nausicaa! A foreshortened childish face, half parted lips and eyes -lovely, vacant, blind eyes. The girl rang the bell and got out; Henrietta followed her. She wax now quite calm and businesslike. She had got what she wanted — the agony of baffled search was over. "Excuse me for speaking to you. I'm a professional sculptor and, to put it frankly, your head is just what I have been looking for." She wax friendly, charming and compelling, as she knew how to be when she wanted something. Doris Sanders had been doubtful, alarmed, flattered. "Well, I don't know, I'm sure. If it's just the head. Os course. I've never done that sort of thing!" Suitable hesitations delicate financial inquiry. “Os course, I should insist on your accepting the proper professional fee.” And so here was Nausicaa, sitting on the platform, enjoying the idea of her attractions being immortalized (though not liking very much the examples of Henrietta’s work which she could see in the studio) enjoying also the revelation of her personality to a listener whose sympathy and attention seemed to be m complete. On the table beside the model were her spectacles the spec taeles that she put on as seldom as possible, owing to vanity, preferring to feel her way almost blindly some* times, since she admitted to Henri* etta that without them she was so short-sighted that she could hardly see a yard in front of her. Henrietta had nodded comprehendingly. She understood now the physical reason for that blank and lovely stare. Time went on. Henrietta suddenly laid down her modeling tools and stretched her arms widely. "All right” she said, "I've finished. I hope you're not too tired.” "Oh, no, thank you. Mixa Savernake. It's been very interesting, I'm sure. Do you mean it's really done—so soon?" Henrietta laughed. "Oh, no, It’s not actually finished. I shall have to work on it quite a bit. But it’s finished aa far tui you're concerned. I've got *hat 1 wanted- built up the planes." The girl came down from the platform.

A. Often the wedding announcement or invitation names a date after which the bride will be at home, so do not call before that time. Otherwise It is well to wait from two to three weeks after the couple's return home from the honeymoon.

"Oh," she said doubtfully, disappointment in iier voice, "it's not very like me, is it?" Henrietta smiled. "Oh, no. it's not a portrait." There wax. indeed, hardly a likoncM at all. It was the setting of the eyes- the line of the cheekbone—that Henrietta had seen us the essential keynote of her conception of Nausicaa. This was not Doris Sanders; it was a blind girl about whom a poem could be made. The lips were parted as Doris' were parted, but they were not Doris’ lips. They were the lips that would speak another language and would utter thoughts. that were not Doris' thoughts— None of the features were clearly defined. It was Nausicaa remembered. not seen. “Well,” said Miss Sanders doubtfully, "I suppose it'll look better when you've got on with it a bit. . . . And you really don't want me any more?" "No, thank you." said Henrietta. ("And thank God I don't!” said her inner mind.) "You've been simply splendid. I'm grateful.” She got rid of Doris expertly and returned to make herself some black coffee. She waa tired—she was horribly tired. . . . But happy —happy and at peace. 'Thank goodness," she thought, "now I can be a human being again." And at once her thoughts went to John. John, she thought. Warmth crept into her checks, a sudden quick lifting of the heart made her spirits soar. Tomorrow, she thought, I'm going to The Hollow. ... I shall see John. She sat quite still, sprawled back on the divarn drinking down the hot strong liquid. She drank three cups of It. . . . She felt vitality surging back. It was nice, she thought, to be a human being again—and not that other thing. Nice to have stopped feeling restless and miserable and driven. Nice to be able to stop walking about the streets unhappily, looking for something, and feeling irritable and impatient because, really, you didn’t know what you were looking for! Now, thank goodness, there would be only hard work—and who minded hard work? She put down the empty cup and got up and strolled back to Nausicaa. She looked at the face for some time, and slowly a little frown crept between her brows. It wasn't—it wasn't quite— What was it that waa wrong? Blind eyes ... Blind eyes that wore more beautiful than any eyes that could see. . . . Blind eyes that tore at your heart because they were Wind. . . . Had she got that or hadn't she? She'd got It, yea—but she'd got something else as well. Something that she hadn't meant or thought about. . . . The structure was all right- yes. surely. But where did it come from—that faint insidious suggestion ? The suggestion, somewhere, of a common. Spiteful mind. She hadn't been listening, not really listening. Yet’ somehow, in through her can and out at her fingers, it had worked its way into the clay. And she wouldn't, she knew she wouldn't, be aWe to. get it out again. Henrietta turned away, sharply. Perhaps it wax fancy. Yea, surely it was fancy. She would feel quite differently about it in the morning. She thought with dismay, how vulneraMe one bi. She walked, frowning, up tn the end of the studio. She stopped in front of her figure of The Worshiper. THAT was an right—a lovely ■bit of pearwooff. graining just right She'd saved it up for ages, b.narrting u.

She looked at it critically. Yes, it was good, no doubt about that. The best thing she had done for a long time—it was for the International* Group, Yes, quite a worthy exhibit. She'd got It sit right; the humility, the strength in.«the neck muscles, (he bowed shoulders, the slightly upraised face a featureless face, since worship drives out personality. Yes. submission, adoration- and that final devotion that is beyond, not this side, idolatry. Henrietta sighed. If only, she thought, John had not been so angry. It had startled her. that anger. It had told her something about him that he did not, she thought, know himself. He had said flatly, "Tou can't exhibit that!" And she had said, as flatly, "I shall." She went slowly back to Nausicaa. There was nothing there, she thought, that she couldn't put right. She sprayed it and wrapped it up in the damp cloths. It would have to stand over until Monday or Tuesday. There wax no hurry now. The urgency had gone ail the essential planes were there. It only needed patience. Ahead of her were three happy days with Lucy and Henry and Midge—and John! She yawned, stretched herself like a cat stretches itself with relish and abandon, pulling out each muscle to its fullest extent. She knew suddenly how very tired she was. She had a hot bath and went to bed. She lay on her back staring at a star or two through the skylight. Then from there her eyes went to the one light she always left on, the small bulb that illuminated the glass mask that had been one of her earliest bits of work. Rather an obvious piece, she thought now. Conventional in its suggestion. Lucky, thought Henrietta, that one outgrew oneself. And now, sleep! The strong black coffee that she had drunk did not bring wakefulness in its train unless she wished it to do so. Long ago she had taught herself the essential rhythm that could bring oblivion at call. You took thoughts, choosing them out of your store, and then, not dwelling on them, you let them slip through the fingers of your mind, never clutching at them, ne.*er dwelling on them, no concentration . , . just letting them drift gently past. Outside in the Mews a car was being revved up—somewhere there wax hoarse shouting and laughing. Bhe took the sounds into the stream of her semi-conscious-ness. The car, she thought, was a tiger roaring . . . yellow and black . . . striped like the striped leaves —leaves and shadows—a hot jungle .. . and then down the river — a wide tropical river ... to the sea and the liner starting . . , and hoarse voices calling goodby and John beside her on the deck . . . she and John starting—blue sea and down into the dining saloon —smiling at him across the table —like dinner at the Maison Doree —poor John, so angry! ... out into the night air—and the car, the feeling of sliding in the gears —effortless, smooth, racing out of London ... up over Shovel Down ... the trees . . . tree worship . .. The Hollow ... Lucy ~. John .., John . . . Ridgeway’s disease , . , dear John. Passing into unconsciousness now, into a happy beatitude. And then some sharp discomfort. some haunting sense of guilt pulling her back. Something she ought to have done . . . gomethiag that she had shirked Nausioaa? iX9
