Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
tenn, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss OF
memory, inflammation, cpl
iepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
DIR. Miles Arti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth-
ing, strengthening and reliev-
ing the tension upon the nerves
not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
rot contain opium, morphine,
choral cocaine or similar drugs.
"Sick headache is hereditary in my
family. My father suffered. a great
deal, and for many years l have had
spells that were so severe that I was
unable to attend to my business affairs
for q day or SO at q time. During a
very severe attack Of headache. I took

Though no one would think so from
looking at fluid glass of milk and n
solid apple, the percentage of solids
and water in apples and in milk is al
most the same, apples being So per
cent water, and milk sc per cent.
There is more sugar in apples and
more acid in milk. A diet of both APP
pies and milk is one of the most whole
some and well balanced. The potash
contents of both are high. They are
the best for brain, bone and muscle
nourishment, and in their effect upon
the nerves they nre soothing.
In skimming milk the cream remov-
ed lessons the fat percentage, and for
older people or fat children the skim
milk Is equally desirable. in some cases
better. In eating apples the skin, too,
should be eaten. Pared apples are not
so nutritious, as the ash contents Of
the apple skin are valuable to the hu-
man system.

The Choice ofn Wife.

A German professor selects a woman
who can merely stew prunes not be-
cause stewing prunes and reading Pro-
clus make delightful harmony, but
because he wants his prunes stewed for
him and chooses to read Proclus by
himself. A fullness Of sympathy, a
sharing of life one with another, is
scarcely ever looked for except in a
narrow, conventional sense. Men like
to come home and find blazing fire
and smiling face and an hour of re-
taxation. Their serious thoughts and
earnest aims in life they keep on one
side. And this is the carrying out of
love and marriage almost everywhere
in the world, and this the degrading of
women by both.-From One of Mrs.

The Revue Scientifique has been ask
ing what muscles tire soonest, with the
conclusion that it is not the muscles in
use, but those under tension, although
doing no work. The writer urges us to
use the arms and legs less and the back
and neck more, for on them comes the
greatest strain. He has been asking
men of all occupations the same ques-
tons:
When you have worked much, where
do you feel tired?
Before you We're trained did fatigue
show itself in the same regione?
All the answers point to the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
dough all night complains of fatigue in
his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but in his back
and loins.
The young soldier, after march, is
especially tired in the back of the neck,
even il he has carried no llnapsack
The oarsman who is in perfect train
ing after prolonged exercise gets tired
in his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit of contraction.
That is to say, the body, like the mind,
needs change of work.

A Nishtmnreless Rnrebit.

A bachelor whose skill at getting up
dainty supper dishes assures him plen-
ty of company in the evenings is re-
sponsible for substitute for the Welsh
rabbit that is free from nightmare. He
covers lightly toasted bread with finely
grated cheese and instead of slipping it
in the oven places it beneath the flame
of the gas broiler until the cheese has
been toasted a light brown.
If n good cream cheese is used there
is not the slightest suggestion of sog-
giness or greasiness, and even those to
whom a rabbit means night of trou-
bled dreams may indulge in this with
no fear of evil consequences.
The trick lies in the grating of the
cheese. Broken into bits, it would melt
into pasty mass. Finely divided, each
particle should be individually toasted
before it has chance to melt down,
and i'll that state it is readily assimilat-
ed.-New York Press.

The Value of New 1dea.

The recognition Of the value of new
idea in regard to a business point is
leading employers to encourage criti-
cisms and suggestions from employees
in respect to the details Of the bust
ness, thus utilizing their microscopic
view rather than depending solely on
the birdseye view which is taken by
the manager. A friendly feeling re-
suits, from this attitude, and the en-
ployee takes deeper interest in his
work, developing his own capacity and
helping the business. To see his idea
carried out by Lis s;,reriors puts new
life into him and I'D new enthusiasm
to his establishments.

Restoring Faded Ink.

Immediately appear quite dark in color,
and this color in the case of parchment
will be preserved. On paper, however,
the color will gradually fade again, but
on fresh application of the sulphide
of ammonia it will reappear. Writing

been rendered illegible by age may be

In the days of King George III. of
England the Persian ambassador to his
court demanded, but was denied, prece-
dence over all other foreign representa-
tives. He refused to go to court, caus-
ing it to be reported abroad that he was
i'll. He met the prince regent at the
house of the Lady Salisbury of the
time. II am very sorry to offend your
royal highncss by not going to court"
he said. Now, sir, my sovereign, he
tell me l go first; your people say 1
must go last. Now, this very bad for
me when so back to Persia" So say
ing, he made a significant pass toward
his head, expressing decapitation. The
prince tried to appease him.. But, sir,
you still angry with me. You have not
invited me to your party tomorrow
night" The prince explained that it
was only childrens party, but the
ambassador might come IL he chose.
He did choose, for he went and, being
the only ambassador there, led all the
guests, thus scoring heavily for Persia,
which made him comfortable about the
neck again.
