HIGH COLLARS CAUSE HEADACHE.
Moreover, They Are Bad for Ones
Nerves, This Man Says.

You may not know it. old fellow. bat
there is a very intimate connection be-
tween the nigh collar and the headache,
said an observant man, land I have
proved my faith in the statement by re-
fusis4g TO wear collars of the high sort.
1t is 4 bad business, my boy High col
lars choke uD the veins and arteries and
interfere 10 some extent with the circu
lation OF the blood in the neck and head.
Do not understand me to be knocking
any particular brand of high collars. SO
far as the appearance of the high collar
is concerned, / confess that I like it.
In my own case it has been Il great
blessing IN 1T least one way. for fellows
with long necks you know. do not look
so we'll when you harness them up in low
collars. My neck is long, long as a
cranes. and the high collar has kept me
from leaving too much Of it exposed
Why. I've got SO much neck that when
| first began to wear low collars | was
almost ashamed 10 venture out into the
street. | felt ike | was but half dressed,
and me feeling was not SO far wrong at
that, for the low collar does not leave
a good part Of my anatomy open and
above board. as it We're. But this fact
does not bother me now. | simply don't
care at all. Exposed neck is a whole
lot better than headaches. and you know,

thing more than interfere with ones CIR
culaton. 1t scratches and initiates the
skin, keeps ones chin at an unreason-
able uncomfortable and unnatural angle,
and causes one to acquire d nervous frig
idity sort Of habit.
When you meet your friend who is in
the habit Of wearing high collar pay
particular attention to the way he moves
and holds his head. 1t isn't at all nat
ural 1t IS all due to the high collar.
Mark yon. there are high collars, and
high collars. Some of them approach
rationalism in neck dress. Others are
about as far from it as it is possible
to get without engulfing the whole head.
But, Of course, every fellow to his own
liking in these matters. | wear low col
lars because they are comfortable, and
because [ believe the high collar is a
producer Of headaches. and bad thing
for ones nerves generally" Dallas

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a lime.
It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doc
tors themselves sometimes forget the
facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me, although l had palpitation
of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and l gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time | have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when / tried small
quantity of coffee which caused severe
irritation and proved to me l must
let it alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of butter
in the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full 10 minutes, which
gives it the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many of my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum, in fact, daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. There's a reason"

WASHINGTON ROCK.
Movement for Its Preservati ton and the
Erection of a Tablet,

Leo by Father Meister, Il Roman Cath
Ollie priest, the residents Of Mamaroneck-
on-the- Sound have formed an association
10 preserve Washington rock. The like
ness CT the head and features of the ia
Their OF his country was first seen sew
erai years ago on 4 rock on the Boston
post road at the entrance to Orienta
Point. colony Of rich New Workers. Ii
was supposed at the time that if was
produced by blast made by some Ital-
ian worhmcn, but because it is close To
the site of Washington's headpuar ers
when he fought the battle Of Heathcote
HI1, and within a stones throw of the
old house, where it is reputed that
Coopel.s character, Harvey Birch il
THE Spy lived and hid his gold, some
OF the more superstitious people Of the
town are inclined to attach a supernat-
ural origin to it.
The head and features of Washington
appear on the rock in heroic size, and at
certain angles the resemblance is com.
plete. The nose is formed by a prOiec
ton and the mouth and eyes by the dark
colorlng of the rock. One of the fea.
lures is the growth Of vines which
frames the face of Washington.
The VICE and growing attention which
has been attracted to the phenomenon
led Father Mester to believe that some
action should be taken to commemorate
and preserve the historical events Of the
nelGhborhood by suitably marking tht
spot. Several public meetings have beer
held and the people interested have
formed the Washington Rock associa
ton, with Col. Henry w. Sackett pres
dent. and Reuben @. Brewer, treasurer
1t is proposed to collect q fund to cree
bronze tablet upon the rock and ded
cate it on October u, 1904, the 1871
anniversary OF the battle of Heathcote

Sounding the Heart.

DR.. Gustayus Gaertner, professor of
pathology at the Vienna university, has
made an important discovery OF Il method
for examining the heart. He is the first
to succeed III determining the pressure Of
blood in the right auricie and the right
yentricle, into which the whole of the
genous blood flows before passing into the
vessels OF the lungs for publication. His
method is based on the following prin-
ciples: If one lowers his arm the veins i'll
the hand fill with blood, as is very plainly
seen on the back of the hand. If one rails
es ones arm above the head the veins col
lapse again. By exact and minute OBJ
servation DR.. Gaertner has succeeded in
determining the height at which the veins
Of the hand collapse or fill in most cases.
This change is SO distinct as to form u
basis for measurements. The experiments
have been made on healthy and sick per-
sons. When the pressure of the blood in
the heart IS normal the raising Of the
hand to the height Of the right chambers
the position of which can be ascertained
by percussion or Roentgen rays-sufices
10 make the veins in the back Of the hand
disappear. DR.. Gaertner can now meas
ire the differences in the pressure between
the right chambers and the veins direct,
and, by observing the veins in the back
Of the hand, he can draw trustworthy
conclusions as to the state Of the heart.
