This is a matter of ex trenui importance for parents, because parents mast know that there should not be anydelay in securing medical attention for the condition. Treat- ment should begin at once. Unfor- tunately, the disease is usually incur- able, but treatment is successful -in some cases, and if it is to be most helpful, it must start before the dis- ease has become chronic. . Some cases .of epilepsy are . due to brain injury, following fracture of the skull, for example. Cases of this type are often helped or cured by sur- gical treatment. The cause in the vast majority of cases is not known. Heredity is an, important factor. The disease appears in two main forms, the major and the minor, In the minor form, there may be simply loss of consciousness for a moment or two. The child stops what he is doing, and sits or stands with his eyes fixed and staring; the face is somewhat pale. In a few mo- ments, however, he starts again where he left off. He may fall or may make certain movements. From this mild type, the disease grades out into the major form. The major form has two outstand- ing symptoms, muscular spasm and unconsciousness. The attack is sud- den, although many patients experi- ence a warning sensation, or "aurae, which precedes the attack, The aura is followed quickly by abrupt loss of consciousness. The patient falls if he is not already lying down. The mus- cles are first heldcontracted, the face turns blue, and then, for a minute or two, follows a twitching or jerking of the muscles. Consciousness returns, the patient may be dazed, and he fre- quently passes into a deep sleep. Every epileptic should receive prompt medical care. Physical defects should be corrected, and the health of the child built up. The child' must be prepared for life by firm, but kind and understanding care. The child will have to be watched and trained with regard to his habits. Overeat- ing, excitement and exposure are to be avoided. It will be necessary to se- lect an occupation that is within the child's mental capacity and which will, at the same time, be safe for an epil- eptic. We cannot be optimistic about epil- epsy, but we do know that by proper treatment and training, a great deal can be done provided the case receives early attention, POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIST The Menace of the Skid Just as a competent swimmer may "panic" when an unexpected wave slaps him in the mouth, so a normally cool-headed motorist may "freeze on the wheel" during those precious split -seconds when a skid can become either a tragedy or merely a discom- fiting incident in a day's drive. But while any expert can tell you how to pull out of a skid by steering into it, the really wise adviseris the one who tells you how to recognize the two common types of skid, and more par- ticularly, how to avoid them. The slip- pery pavement skid can be prevented by cautious driving, by slow turns, stops and starts, and by the judicious use of second gear as a brake. The "brake -skid", when caused by un - equalized or poorly -adjusted service brakes, has only one cure—adjustment by a mechanic. Its symptom, unmis- takeable even on dry pavement, is, a pull at the steering wheel when the brake is applied even gently. Badly adjusted brakes can be almost as dangerous on wet pavement or at high speed as no brakes at all.

Selling Canadian Ears to American Advertisers Canadian newspapers have unani- mously condemned the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's use of a Federal siibsidy to finance cut-rate competition in the national advertis- ing field. Among the protests have been the following: Montreal Gazette: "Advertising is the blood and bone of the publishing business and of the printing industry, and the Radio C'or- ppration is taking it away by cut-rate competition. The industries affected represent a very large investment of capital, perform an indispensable ser- vice to the public, provide a very Iarge market for skilled labor, and are large -scaled purchasers of machinery newsprint and other classes of paper. The Corporation strikes a very dam- aging •blow amaging•blow at that industry, and in order to do it, as Saturday Night has said, is making itself an agency for the promotion of the identical kind of thing which it was created to discour- age. Canada was understood to be modelling its broadcasting system up- on that of the British Broadcasting Corporation. Here again there has been a sharp departure, since the British Corporation carries no adver- tising. In the present Canadian situ- ation the commodities advertised are of American origin, a fact which the Toronto Globe and Mail emphasizes as important,though not as express- ing the Corporation's chief aim. Par- liament should take a hand in this matter, and with the least possible delay. The first Radio Commission was nothing worse than a failure; the present Corporation, if it is to be judged on the policy outlined above, is .censurable upon much more serious grounds." Quebec Chronidle Telegraph: "We saw on Saturday how, notwith- standing the fact that the very ob- ject of its existence is to provide Can- adian programs that will prevent the Americanization of Canada's air, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for which the American- born Min- ister, Hon.' Clarence Decatur Howe, is officially responsible, has just sold that air for some $600,000 to Ameri- can interests.' In itself .this betrayal of trust, this insult to patriotism is sufficiently contemptible. But Mr. Howe and his subordinates have added a refinement of cynicism to their act that we have no adequate word to qualify: "In view of later developments, what other conclusion can be come to than that the idea underlying the pro- posed Canadian National network, of which two units are already function- ing, was not to link Canadians to- gether but to sell them as listeners - in to commercial sponsors in the United States. Certainly, with that network, the Corporation is able to sell its time more easily and more profit- ably than would otherwise be the case. "Indeed the whole Canadian broad- casting scheme itself Will have been Americanized when the network is finally complete for, in the United States, a similar network is operated by the National Broadcasting. Corpor- ation which lives by selling time to national sponsors for commercial pro- grams. There is only this difference left that, whereas in the United States no license fee is charged to set -owners whose ears are sold to the sponsors, here in Canada their ears are likewise sold but they are obliged to pay a license fee as well, which thus becomes insult added to injury." Financial. Post: "A showdown in Canadian radio is imminent and necessary, because new or extended contracts in Canada rep- reeonting estimated gross revenue of $600,000 have been sold. by CRC. to a dozen leading American broadcasters. These programs already go out over nation-wide MS, hookups. "This means that .C.B.C, networks will now 'pipe in' from the United States a rich flow of American pro- grams totalling many hours per week. These programs' will occupy some of the choicest hours of the day. They will reach as many as '30 Canadian stations, including those which have been built bypublic funds for the ex- press purpose of "nation -building". And the sales campaign has barely started: "Not only does such a proposition defeat the very purpose for which this expensivenational system was created,, but it constitutes a direct subsidy to one form of advertising, at the expense of ether forms. For thb C.B.C. could not offer the bargain rates at which this time is being sold unless it were backed by the public Apples, pears, peaches, and logon- purse. And, furthermore, this money berries are the chief fruits exported being spent by American broadcasters from Canada, the United Kingdom will be diverted (in Hart at least) from taking about 60 per cent other forms of advertising ' such as 3« _« Tested t Recipes THE APPLE IN THE MENU Apples inay rightly be regarded as among the cheapest and best of fruits principally because of their high nutritional value. Modern diet- itions stress the fact that three vita- mins, A, B, and C are found in apples. Vitamin A is essential to growth and raises body resistance to disease; vi- tamin B is essential to growth, stim- ulates appetite and promotes good di- gestion, and vitamin C prevents scur- vy and also assists in tooth develop- ment, helping to prevent tooth decay. In cooking appleslose none of their virtues. 1 Apple Pudding (Old Fashioned) 4 large tart Canadian -grown apples 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 4 oz. stale bread crumbs Half grated nutmeg 4 eggs. Pare and chop apples; mix with crumbs; beat yolks of eggs lightly and add to crumbs; then add salt, cin- namon, and nutmeg; then stir in care- fully the whites of eggs beaten stiff. Mix thoroughly; steam in 'a well - greased mould for three hours. Serve with custard or lemon sauce. Apples a la Parisienne Pare several sour Canadian -grown apples; cut them. in half crosswise and remove the cores. Cook the apples until tender in a syrup made of 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup boiling water, be- ing careful to retain the shape of the apples. Drain the apples and set each half apple on a round of stale sponge cake, splrinkle Iightly with grange juice, and either orange or peach mar- malade. Cover apple with a meringue and some chapped almonds. Brown in the oven to a delicate brawn. Serve either hot or cold. Apple Roly-Poly Pare, core, and slice sour Canadian - grown apples. RoII a rich baking pow- der dough half inch thick. Lay the sliced apples on the dough and roll as for jelly -roll. Tuck in the ends and prick deeply with fork. Place on a plate dredged with 'flour; cover with a cloth and steam 45 minutes. Serve with sugar and cream or a sauce. Apple Fritter Batter 2 eggs A speck of salt Half cup cold water 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon sugar Stir salt in egg yolk, add butter slowly, then sugar, and when well mixed stir in the flour slowly. Then add the water a little at a time. Beat well, set aside in a cold place for 2 hours,then fold in the beaten white of the eggs. The batter must be thick. If not soft enough, addwhite of another egg. Apple Fritters Pare, core and quarter Cenadian- grown apples; roll in powdered su- gar, and dip in fritter batter. Before sugar has time to dissolve, fry in deep fat like doughnuts. Boll in powdered sugar before serving. Serve hot.
