HOW TO CURE A
TERRIFIC HEADACHE.

Many people suffer with an aching head
week after week, occasionally getting relief
from so-called headache powders and nerve
Supplying drugs. They never &c. cured
because they start wrong. Such people
should do little commonsense thinking.
Headache is simply the result, warning
signal, of far more serious trouble. Usu-
ally it means bad blood poisoned by an in
active or sluggish liver. Headache suffer-
ers are often nervous, cross and irritable.
Their sleep is disturbed and digestion inn
paired. The liver doesn't do its work right,
and the bile elements poison both nerve
and brain.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills
remove the cause of headache. They are
Natures true laxative, and give tone to
liver activity, area positive specific for bill
iousness and torpid liver Get your liver
right by using Smiths Pineapple and But
ternut Pills and your head won't ache,
your nerves won't weaken, nor your food
distress you. Physicians use and recom-
mend. They form no habit. You should
always keep them on hand. These little
Vegetable Pills will ward off many ills.

The Thumb

The disparagement of the usefulness
and Importance of the thumb implied
in the expression, His fingers are all
thumbs" seems undeserved in view of
the important part the thumb formerly
played In the social customs Of the peo-
pie and the very important part 1t
plays In our own lives.
Lord Erskine, in his Institutes"
states that among certain of the lower
ranks In Scotland the final settlement
Of a bargain was always signalized by
the licking and joining of thumbs.
Selden, In Titles Of Honor" says
that kissing the thumb was mark of
servility The clergy, the rich and
the great, were in receipt of this honor
from their tradesmen
From the remotest days of antiquity
the practice of licking the thumb has
been regarded as solemn pledge or
promise, existing, according to Tacitus
and other authorities, among the
Cloths, the Iberians and the Moors, and
1t may also be traced through success.

Vivisectinq Thieves.

Breaking into houses where funerals
have just taken place and plundering
them is spoken Of by the Berliner
Tageblatt as trick Of the thieves of
that city. While this may be a new
form Of criminality in Berlin, says the
writer. 1t is really only an imitation Of
an incident described by Dion Cassius
as having taken place $500 years be-
fore Christ. The historian says that
when the consort of the emperor was
laid away in the mausoleum at
Memphis a band Of Greek marauders
entered the deserted palace of the
pharaoh and took all the precious
stones and metals and the women
slaves and reached the banks Of the
Red sea with their plumber. Only two
of the band were captured, and they
were turned over by the ruler to the
wise men, by whom they were vivi-
sected in the interest of science. No
matter how much the robbers Of the
modern houses Of mourning may be
hespised, they need not fear that form
of punishment.
