Cure for Headache.

y aever-failing remedy" for merry.
GUS headache is described by scien-
tific authority thus 1t consists simply
Of the act of walking backward. but
the method of walking is an important
factor in the cure. The pace should
be very slow, letting the ball of the
foot touch the floor first, then the
heel. A hall Or narrow room serves
the purpose best. The theory under
lying the cure is that the reflex action
OF the body brings about a reflex ac.
ton of the brain; thus the pain in.
duced by nervousness, which is said
to be the result OF too much going for.
ward, is driven away by simple
process of reversal.

falo.

The case against Henry Salisbury,
for illegally practicing medicine with
out a physicians certificate came to a
sudden termination in Justice Moul-
toms court Tuesday. He appeared
before his honor at that time and de-
sired to change his former plea of not
guilty to guilty which was a virtual
acknowledgement of his violation OF
the law. His change of front was
against the advice of his attorney,
Mr.. Sheldon but the recent decision of
the Supreme court upholding the
state law regarding the medical act
passed by the Legislature in 1898
probably had cons derable weight in
the result.
The doctor will soon leave for Bus'

Planting of Pine and Cedar will Re-
gin in the spring.
The task of growing valuable for
ests on the barren sand-hills Of Ne
braska will begin this spring, when
the Bureau of Forestry will seed
about 1870 acres of the dismal river
forest reserve near Halsey with Red
Cedar and Jack Pine, If the seeding
succeeds and is done with economy,
the Bureau will seed and plant the
following year probab bly, 1000 acres in
cedar and pines and will ultimately
extend the forest by gradual plant
ings over large part of the 208,0OC
acres in the Dismal River and Mo
brara reserves.
A nursery has been established a
Halsey, in the valley of the Middle
Loup River, with half-acre SEED
bed protected by laths. A tool hous
and Office building have been built
Nearly 600 pounds of seed, principal.
Western Yellow Pine, Red Cedar anC
Jack Pine, has been collected TO
planting in the spring.
The sand-hills are unfit for agricul
ture If large forests can be grown oil
them, the timber will be of very grea
value to country now without trees
where lumber brings high prices. TIL
