u You suffer from Headaohs.

Many suffer needlessly from head
ache. 1t is not normal condition and
unless due to some functional disorder
or to defective eyes usually can be
traced to overeating or to sleeping in
badly ventilated rooms.
Be careful about your diet, take
plenty Of exercise, do not overstrain
your eyes; above all get plenty of
fresh air and your headaches are apt
to vanish
Never sleep in room that has not
at least one window up high, winter
and summer. II will not do to ven
tilate from the next room or the hall;
what is needed is air fresh from out
of doors.

Abelard and HeloIse,

Helolse was noted as much for her
intellectual ability as for her personal
beauty. She was familiar with the
literature Of four or five languages
Italian, French, Greek, Latin and
Hebrew. Her knowledge was remark
able, her conversational powers were
brilliant. It was her bright mind and
varied learning that first attracted the
attention of Abelard. Abelard died
1142, Heloise 1164, First buried at St.
Marcel, Abelard's remains were shift
ed several times. but finally reached
the well-known tomb at Pere-la-Chaise,
wherein also rest the ashes of Heloise.

Uncle Sam Slow Paw.

The United States as a debtor is
slow pay, If not sure. Among the
claims allowed by the auditor for the
war department in the last fiscal year
were those of Hezekiah Davis. George
Dixon, Edward Gervais, Ingram M.
Richardson and Andrew ]. Fetherow
for transportation services and sup
plies of Oregon and Washington vol
unteers in 1856 and 1856" The
Richardson claim was for 1897. The
navy department allowed number OF
claims dating from 1868, one OF them
being 1851. The Southern Pacific
company succeeded in getting 55
cents on claim five years old. This
looks like favoritism TO a great cor
poration, or it may prove that the
smaller the claim the more quickly II
will be passed.-New York Sun.
