The price of the paper is SO small
that it is easily within range of
the most limited purse, and the
information each subscriber will
get as to matters of general and
public interest, will repay them
for the small outlay. The paper
assent to many non residents who

An Easy Headache Cure.

A. good cure for headache lies In the
simple act Of walking backward Just
try II some time if you have any doubt
about it. A correspondent says: az
have yet TO meet q person who didn't
Acknowledge its efficacy after trial.
Nobody has yet discovered or formulat-
ed reason why such process should
bring certain relief.
4 physicians say that 1t is probably
because the reflex action Of. the body
brings about a reflex action Of the
brain. and thus drives away the pain
that, when produced by nervousness,
is the result Of too much going forward.
AS soon<as you begin to- walk back
ward, however, there comes a sensa-
ton Of everything being reversed. and
that is followed by relief. The relief
is always certain and generally speedy.
Ten minutes is the longest j have ever
found it necessary. An entry. or a
long, narrow room makes the best
place for suchf promenade You
should walk very slowly, letting the
ball Of your foot touch the floor first,
and then the heel-just the way, in fact,
that one should, in theory, walk for
ward. but which. lin practice, is, SO
rarely done. Besides curing nervous
headache, there is no better way to
learn to walk wen and gracefully for.
ward than the practice OF walking
backward"
