The headache habit, says The 1outh S
Companion" rarely becomes established
before the age OF seven years, and not
often earlier than fourteen. Prior to
the latter age, headaches are usually OF
irregular occurrence, and directly traceable
to fatigue, nervous excitement, of overeat-
ing.
Periodic headaches, occurring at
somewhat regular intervals of from two
to six weeks, have characteristics of their
own. The pain is located at a particular
point, often just over one eye. At the
beginning Of the attack, the child is
frequently pale and the expression wor
ried, while laterthe face is flushed The
eyes are extremely sensitive to light.
Before and during the attacks, the whole
nature of the child is changed. He is
dull, drowsy, listless, or irritable. Vision
is frequently double or otherwise dis
ordered. Often after sleep the child will
awaken with all the symptoms gone.
Days of wholesome, pleasurable excite
ment are marred by the occurrence of
prostrating attack of recurring headache.
The above description will create a
mental picture of disorder which has
proved the bugbear of the whole childhood
of many a reader.
The best treatment for the periodic
headaches of childhood is preventive. 1t
is noticed that in nearly every case one
parent or the other has suffered in like
manner. This fact should put parents on
| their guard when a child has headache
| from slight provocation The younger The
child is when such headaches begin, the
more painstaking and persistent should
| be the care taken to prevent the establish
ment of headache habit.
Care in the quality and quantity of food
is of vital importance in every case. The
child needs plenty of wholesome food, and
is often benefited by s.me light nourish-
! ment between meals. He will then be
less apt to overload the stomach, or to eat
too quickly at meal hours. The supper
should always be light meal. Butter
! and cream are articles OF food at once
nourishing and digestive, and craving
for them is not to be discouraged.
The hours of sleep should be long;
ten hours are not too much for any
child
Periodic headaches are most common
to children who are much with their
elders and with books, and who are led
to grasp at mental problems suitable only
for older persons. At the beginning of
school life the child is placed under an
unusual strain, mental and physical. To
offset this, he should be encouraged to
take part in outdoor sports and games.
If tendency to headache is developed, he
should be directed to outdoor life and
play, and away from too much reading
and school work.
1t is presumed that every modern school
house is thoroughly ventilated. 1t is to
the credit of nearly all teachers that they
are alive to the Importance Of fresh air.

urge upon every person Of property who
to-day contributes to the life and support
of any church, the privilege, nay! the
duty of leaving by bequest to his church
sum sufficient at least t. keep good for
all time the amount OF his present sub
scription The man and woman who has
vital interest in the church. and deep
regard for the moral welfare of the com
munity after they are gone, can scarcely
fail to see and feel the significance of such
a course.
l believe in the church as a chief OBJ
ject of local interest and pride. 1t is an in
stilution which human society still needs
for its highest good. | believe it is serv-
ing humanity in way in which nothing
else has served it, or can servei it. 1t stands
for the moral and spiritual sentiments
and motives of men and women, for the
moral thought-li life and the deepest heart
sympathies of humanity as distinguished
from those motives and schemes and rela-
tions which pertain 10 the pursuits and
iabOrs and ends of its material interests.
There is a lower life, devoted the ply
steal senses and pleasures, and TO material
ambitions and pursuits; and there is a
higher life of mind and heart and con
science. The purity and strength of pub
lie sentiment depend on the constant
culture and growth of this life of mind
and soul. The church whose atmos phere
is reverential and worshipful, from VIII ose
platform questions of vital importance to
human welfare are intelligently discussed,
IS, | believe, Il great and necessary educa-
tor of the public conscience. There is no
one but needs to have his moral impulses
stimulated and quickened, and bis SYM
pathies awakened and directed, and his
attention often called to his social obliga-
tions and duties. For this purpose there
is no agency equal to the church, and
they who neglect to avail themselves of
its means are unmindful OF the most
valuable of all their privileges
The higher life, not alone of the indivd-
ual but of society, is the life of thought
and principle. AS every person in the
community adds strength or weakness to
the prevailing spirit and motive, it is
his highest duty, and should be his stead
fast care and quest. to qualify his mind
and heart to contribute only what
shall be for the highest interests of hn-
mainly, the peace, purity, pros Gritty and
happiness of society. The cure for all
social evils and distresses is committed to
mans keeping. To his intelligent and
consecrated will is given the task of
purifying public sentiment, and trans
forming social imperfection and i'll into
moral prosperity, and health, and happi-
ness.
