Many physicians send headache sufferers
TO the heaith-givlng springs, particularly
such containing iron or acting as purga-
tives. Unless headache appears IN connec-
ton with the green sickness, so called. iron
can have no possible beneficial influence
Purging waters may be of use. as already
intimated. but nervous people should be-
ware of them. as too Irritating.
Massage may give relief to headache SUI
ferers indulging IN mental work. Where
headaches are due to other causes the

Gymnastics are TO be advised when per-
formed in the open. Don't waste time, CT
money, by exercising in one of those mod

tobacco smoke. Likewise do not exercise
while the headache fit is on.
During the hours of suffering, absolute
quiet is necessary. Sit still. If possible, lie
still. Danish light. warmth, noise. smells.
Even our parents knew that quinine was
a good thing to use against headache My
own experience shows that all antifever
remedies have a tendency to drive away or
diminish headache. The trouble is that the
benefit lasts only as long as the remedy re-
mains in the system.
Bromide salts have no direct influence on
headache. but are efficient to aIlay the
outward manifestation Of pains. T. great
Charcot was the first to cure megrim with
bromide by an elaborate process. Never
use bromide on your own hook without con-
sulting a physician. II taken in overooses
its effects are most unpleasant At best,
the salts work very slowly, but never do
harm if properly used.
Never use morphine against headache. un-
less the pains are simply unbearable. Only
in that case the use of this dangerous drug
IS advisable. It's not a remedy, though:
simply a momentary pain killer.

whisky, tea or coffee bring on fits of head
ache, increase or decrease the disease?
After going over the ground as above. the
physician should ascertain: How long have
you been suffering from headaches? For
weeks. months or years, since the age of
puberty. since your school days? Are any
of your relatives likewise afflicted? People
suffering from continuous headche are often
victims of megrim. This is particularly
true of people in middle age. who suffer
from headchaes periodically. on a certain
day every few weeks. etc. The majority of
such sufferers. coming under my observa-
ton, reported that their father and mo.fer
USED to be likewise afflicted.
These are the first symptoms OF megrim:
Fiery lines dancing before the eyes, only
one-half of things is seen by the sufferer;
one-half Of the face, or one hand. goes to
sleep continuously.
Second stage: One-half Of your head
aches for several hours in succession, u.s.
ually followed by vomiting, which is the
third stage. But not all megrim sufferers
Nomlt; in many cases sickness OF the
stomach alone is experienced.
Slight diseases of the nose often bring
on headaches. If your physician can't help
you, always consult a nose specialist. Con-
stipation of the nose, which is easily dis
cernible. even to the layman, is liable to
create violent and persistent headaches, and
II a megrim victim suffers from constipa-
ton of the nose at the same time, his head
aches are usually the more unbearable and
persistent. Often a surgical operation is
necessary, but application of salt of iodine
may be tried with success in all but ex-
IRENE cases.

insisted that a good many kinds of head

patients, to curb their appetite for meats
undoubtedly too much meat is liable to
cause headache in people otherwise pre-
disposed for the disease.
It's important that nervous people suf-
fering with headaches should eat every few
hours. If the stomach is empty they be-
come faint and headache is the result. But
never lose sight of the fact that constipa-
ton is one of the prime causes of head
ache. Headachy people should make it a
practice to have prunes and honey cake
around; also to eat plenty OF honey and
rhubarb, and occasionally use sitz baths

avoided except by very robust persons.
Alcohol n Cause.
A barrel of alcohol will cause more head
ache than all The meat the eVer-popular
American Trust controls in a years time.
Even the healthiest man will confess that
he is occasionally punished by headache
for overindulgence in alcoholic drinks.
Long-continued drinking causes degenera-

degenerated blood vessels cause headaches.

Dead men. as a rule. neither tell tales
nor worry over the fact that they are dead.
James Younger differs widely from other
dead men. He is legally dead. and yet is
quite as much alive as any citizen of Min
nesota. Ordinarily the mere fact that he is
legally dead would not keep Younger awake
nights. but his is no ordinary case. Young
er is in love and wants to get married. but
the law rises majesticaIly IudiCTOus and
speaks a Stentorian no
Some months ago the Legislature OF Min
nesota passed an act giving the Board Of
Pardons power TO parole Coleman anu
James Younger. who had been in the Still
water Penitentiary more than twenty-five
years OF a life sentence.
The act. however. stated explicitly that
the Younger brothers were to remain with
in the borders of Minnesota and 10 have
none OF the powers OF citizens other than
freedom during good behavior.
James Younger was badly shot about the
mouth and shoulders during the fierce bat
tie in which ne was captured near Madella,
two weeks after the Mortified raid, and
while he was in prison was frequently i'll.
Miss Alice Miller. a pretty girl then resid-
ing in Saltwater. in the family of n Deputy
Warden. had constant access to the Peni-
Tertiary. and became interested in Younger
because of his feebleness. and often took
delicacies to him. They soon became firm
friends. and Younger told the young woman
the troubles of his career.
In spite OF the fact that he was more
than twenty years her senior and in prison
garp. the girl fell in love with Younger.
Both regarded their prospects of matrImony
as well-nigh hopeless. as Younger was
scheduled to remain at Saltwater Peniten-
tiary the remGinde- OF his life.
Then the parole came and the couple were
not long in reaching the conclusion to get
married.
Miss Miller's st. Paul relatives are people
of prominence. one OF them having been
recently a member of the Legislature, and

proposed nUPtials because Of the stigma
which il was feared would attach to the
bride. Reluctant consent. however, was
gained from the blood kin, ard Younger,
happy over his conquest. repaired to the
County Clerk and asked for a license.
Mr.. Rogers. the clerk. generous. enough
just. hes,tated. and. doubling his power in
the premises. placed the case before Attor-
uey General Douglas. This official spent
days going over the musty tones OF the
State law library. but he could find no au-
thOrity anywhere for the issuance of a mar
riase license to anybody actually or legally
dead
Mr. Douglas extended his sympathy. but
told Younger the only way in which he
could become a legal benedict would be to
get through a supplementary Legislative act
giving the Board OF Control formerly the
Board Of PardoEs) the power to rant a
full pardon. which would. Of course. carry
with it complete restoration to citizenship.
All this viii take time. as no session OF
the Legislature can convene until next jan
uary, and that body may not even then
give him the desired relief, as there is a
general feeling on the part OF the public
that a parole is all that the Younger broth
ers can ask for just now. But sentimental
reasons frequently sway bodies of men, and
the Legislature. considering the wishes OF
the couple TO become man and wife, might
conclude 10 indicate a way 10 the orange
blossoms by putting a pardon within Young
er's reach.
Coleman Younger has attended political
conventions and talked with men Of promi-
nence with the view OF pushing this winter
in the law-making bodies a plea for a full
pardon for himself and his brother. Speak
ing of the matter recently Coleman Younger
said:

our brothers and sisters, two of them more

physician all about these matters and
symptoms:
Location: Is the pain In the forehead. on
the top Of the head. or in the rear?
Is 1t one or two sided? Does It consist Of
pressure. sharp pains or merely a feeling
Of discomfort or uneasiness.
Is It deep-seated. or boring. or do you
feel as IL your head was bursting? Does It
feel as If your head was held in a wise, or
do you feel shooting pains at intervals or
permanently?
