ing. The first is the more frequent
ranse. Headache people, as Il rule, do

ring health, bat cat lurriedly what

ton l.; most prevalent among women
1t too much yeast bread, drink too
much With meals and eat too many
sweats and meats. Bread TO them Is
the staff of life" and, while they
have no life, which is health, they go
on eating ill adapted food and taking
useless drugs to alleviate preventable
troubles, says IL writer in the Ladies'
Home journal.
The ignorance that prevails on the
subject of mans food is astonishing
When we have fine dogs, cows or
horses we Immediately buy and study
all the best books upon the care and
feeding Of these animals and ut the
same time give our children, poor
things, what they like. or, more often,
what is convenient. Health is under
the control of vital laws, and, while we
must all give up our lives sooner or
later, let us be alive while we live.
l should be ashamed to break an en-
gagement or spoil a day of my life
with headache from preventable
cause. We are coming, am sure, to
the time when overeating will be look
ed upon with the same disfavor as
overdrinking. For the welfare of our
children we should be temperate in all
things. We must build humanity, not
tear it down. Note the mortality of the
young in this country and you will see
at once that something is radically
wrong with their feeding.

The governor will pay his own per-
sonal expenses, including railroad
transportation. The governor also
insists that each member of thestaff
who goes pays his own way. This
will be the first time in the history
of the state that the governors staff
have borne their own expenses on
an occasion of this kind. The gov
ernor takes the position that while
the members of his staff are not
state officers in the strictest meaning
of the statute they are so closely con-
nectel with the government that
they would be placing an admin
istration under obligations of the
railroads, which situation he desires
to avoid.
