SICK HEADACHES
Distressing Attacks TO Which Many
Women Are Subject.
What the Tonic Treatment Has Done
to Correct the Cause Of This Re-
curing and Painful Illness.

There arc few ailments that cause
more genuine misery in the home than
the attacks which are generally termed
sick headaches. These attacks are often
periodical and when the mother Of a
family is FRUSTRATED at intervals there is
not only her own suffering to consider
but the discomfort caused tho other
members Of the household. Too often
tho rccurrent symptoms become SO regu-
lar and familiar to those about her that
the sufferer gets but little sympathy in
her awful suffering.
Sick headaches arise from variety Of
disturbances confined to the stomach
and digestive tract and most Of them
can be cured or relieved to n marked
degree. The tonic treatment with DR..
Williams Pink Pills has been success
full in largo number of cases. one Of
which Is that Of Mrs. Mary A. Terry, Of
72l East Main street, Clinton, III. She
says:
For thirty years l was subject to
sick headaches They began when I
was young girl and would occur rs
often as two or three times u week, sell
dom missing one. When these attacks
came on l would get very sick Mt my
stomach and vomit. The strain was 80
great that the blood vessels in my head
would swell up. my eye balls would feel
hot and the muscles in my neck stiff
and sore. During these spells the pains
in my head were intense and throbbing
and would sometimes last for three days.
would be unable to sit up, being often
confined to my bed.
IAN Of my mothers family were Sub.
ject to violent headaches and the doctors
told me inherited it. They said was
in bad condition and that it would
take some time to euro mo. They never
gave mo moro than temporary relief and
after years Of doctoi'ina gave them NJ

strengthened so that no rates are per-
mitted less IN amount than those pro-
scribed by the national fraternal con-

respecting these companies should he

TIE VULGARrTY OF WASTE.
(Kansas City starr

When you see housewife who keeps
bread lying around until It molds; who
permits mildew to get into the cloths:
who allows her stockings and those of
her family to fall to pieces for want Of
darning; who cooks up a lot of food
which she ought to know will not he eat
en- and that will be cast into the gar
hage can. who "thrashes through" her
best frocks by putting them on to do
kitchen work YOU may be sure she s
"tacky." You will never find wou>
of that description who is not cheap.
and who hasn't a common streak In her
as wide as a gate.
Well. X is exactly the same way WITH
people or a nation. When YOU see a
country reckless in the use Of It's re-
sources and heedlessly destructive of the
dowed by nature. you can depend upon
it that Il possesses the ingredients ~
cheapness and inferiority. We laugh
good deal about the proverhial disregard
of the future commonly witnessed IN
our "colored brother" long he has
a dollar in his pocket. But what essen
tial difference is there between the conf
placency of the "Senegamhian" with the
price Of a meal and lodging ahead, and
the blind Indifference OF a country and
It's people that go ahead despoilnS tim

extravaganza. permitting vast quantities
Of gas and oil 10 get away, and taking
no care whatever to make provision for
any reinforcement of the supplies which
II consumes.
So. while the congress of conservation
at Washington Is in mind, let US not for
get that the wastetulness habitually
practiced by the American people Is not
only wicked and hopelessly stupid, but
that II Is likewise cheap and "tacky'
and reveals not one trace of sane judg-
