With the newer drugs certain types of epileptics can have the period be­ tween the attacks materially lengthened, and sometimes the attacks completely eliminated. The epileptic child needs, besides drugs, the sympathetic care and understanding of parents and all others with whom he comes in contact. Because of the continued advance made in treatment, in­ dividuals afflicted with this dis­ ease should keep in close touch with their physicians. Answer to Question No: 2: Hookworm (ankylostomiasis) is usually found in warm climates, especially where sanitation is poor and where people walk around barefooted. There have been about 15 to 16 thousand cases re­ ported annually in the United States during recent years, mostly in our southern states. Improved sanitation and better living con­ ditions can eradicate the disease. Answer to Question No. 3: Severe pain, usually limited to one side of the head, is the typical discomfort of a migraine head­ ache. This pain is often accom­ panied by vomiting and general prostration and will last any­ where from a few hours to several days. Medical treatment is now combined with psychiatric care of the patient’s personality. A great deal has been done by med­ ical science to relieve the dis­ comforts of migraine. Complete success in dealing with these headaches has yet to be realized. By JAMES STEVENS payroll, 1915 . . . A payroll sheet of Camp 6, Coos Bay I number company, month of March, 1915, has turned up at the bottom of the old woodbox in my boompond shack. This box, by the way, was built of 2x8s to hold knots •nd chunks for a Penobscot heater in one half, and tools and gear in the I ether half. I thought I’d dredged it when I switched to an oil stove. But the other day I finally scraped to the bottom of the woodbox, and looked through two bottom books page by ! page, and so found the 1915 payroll ! (Copyright 1952 by Health Informa* sheet. tion Foundation) The two books were a 1912 edition of “Cruden's Concordance” and a 1907 One side of the sheet began with typewriter on the table before me, "Todd-Mahaf fay Atlas.” The latter was loose at all seams, bunged and the name of Frank Aushvallis, Fire­ ' with other articles and marks of age torn, and pitch stuck many of the man, and the other side's list ended in the boompond shack all around, pages.

ANO i So the imagination of an old story writer goes to work on something like the finding of this 1915 payroll sheet. Then it comes down to sharper focus. How did the sheet get sep­ arated, torn out from the payroll book, and why was it given long, hard use in moving around until it came to rest in the pages of an atlas that eventually reeched my hands? Would there be a clue on a map in the 1907 atlas? The map of Wash­ ington showed the most use and had a number of notations, both in pencil and ink, around Puget Sound. Buried treasure? Was it murder? Come in, Dick Tracy and Perry Mason! Sample Names . . . The Scandinavian names were few indeed among the 95 on the payroll sheet. V. Bergland was a faller. John Burkland was there too.

Hanna, Wood Cutter Pete Ikonan | and R. R. Conductor Erick Karpinnen were Camp 6 men, Coos Bay, in 1915. C. Boutin was a loader, Oliver Brant was another hooktender, C. F. Clarke was clerk at $60 per month, B. Camp­ bell was a “cookee” at $35, M. C. Lewis was king snipe, F. P. Leekley was scaler and P. P. Leatherwood was “misc.” Names make news and stories too. Mels make the man. They were still costing just $5.25 per week at Camp 6, with $1.00 per month for beds. That was how I found it at McCloud in 1915, as in the previous year, and as it ran on into 1917, when a notice from Mr. Woodrow Wilson put me in a uniform. War, war, war, on my mind ever since. The paying for old wars, the waging of current wars and the prep­ arations for future wars putting col­ umns for withholding taxes and other items too numerous to mention on the payroll sheets of today. Those lads back in Camp 6 in 1915 didn’t dream how well off they were, did they? Why, sure, they had it hard. How But how free they were(?)! rich in peace and hope (?)!
