with stiff brushes dipped In strong.

always well, and it increases his

II You Suffer from Headache.

Many suffer sneedlessly from head
ache. 1t is not a 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. 1t will not do to VEN
tilate from the next room or the hall;
what is needed is air fresh from out
of doors.

Heloise 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. 1t was her bright mind and
varied learning that first attracted the
attention of Abelard. Abelard died
l142, Heloise 1854. First buried at St.
Marcel, Abelard's remains were shift
ed several times, but finally reached
the well-known tomb at Pere-la- Chaise,
