H0t MiIk For Headaehe Sue.

If instead Of drinking a strong cup
Of tea or coffee, woman suffering with a
bad headache, a woman would drink a
cup of hot milk, she would be more
apt to cure the pain Not because hot
milk has medicinal properties, but be-
cause it is more easily dgested than
tea or coffee, and soothes instead Of
stimulates the nerves.
Discrimination of the nerves Is one
Of the common causes Of headaene, and
so OF course not until the tension has
been relaxed can such pain be allayed.
Not every woman so affected can lie
down quietly and rest, but there is no
need Of anyone adding to the excited
state Of the nerves, and that is precise
~ what tea or coffee does. Obviously
something which will quiet nerves Is re-
qured, and for this purpose hot milk
becomes valuable
Not always, unfortunately, can milk
be drunk when a woman is suffering
from headache, because an upset stom-
ach frequently accompanies a pain in
the head and to take milk under those
conditions would only increase nausea.
A simple substitute for milk that is
not to be despised is water as hot as
it can be slipped Not tepid water.
Such temperature as lukewarm might
cause nausea, but heat as extreme as
can be endured by the lips and throat
/ is excellent. If the stomach is upset
this drink will prevent an undue strain
on the muscles, and may even calm
them to rest and relief
Another help is to prevent strong light
from reaching the eyes of person who
Is suffering from a nervous headache.
Consciously or not glare will increase
the pain by straining the nerves Of the
eyes,
Sometimes hot applications on the
eyes aid in bringing relief, but there are
persons who are made vastly more III
by hot lamentations and to whom cold
ones are beneficial This is a point each
patient must decide for herself.

William Allen White has a very in
teresting article in the December Amer
lean Magazine on the political situation
He believes that there never has been
an election IN this country that has
50 truly expressed the voice of the peo-
pie as the recent one He sums up
the results that have already been ac-
eomplished and outlines the aims and
purposes Of the people in few illu-
minating paragraphs from which the fol
lowing is quoted:
During the early years Of the passing
decade practically every American state
passed through the first stage of the
political manifestation of insurgency
Faction varied with faction, party with
party to no good end. The people grew
tired Then into thirty-two of the
American states came the direct primary
with varying degrees of efficiency. With
the primary came the contest of the
bosses Of all factions and parties Of
people In nearly every case plain, speak
ing political leaders have appeared, who
know that their masters are not the
great public service corporations, but
the people
This third stage Of the political phase
Of insurgency is found in the demand
for the right of direct Legislation the
initiative and referendum, and the de-
mand for the right to recall recaleitrant
public officials, The principle Of direct
legislation is recognized either BY the
constitution or by the laws of nine
American states. These states are
Maine, Missouri, Michigan, Arkansas.
Oklahoma, South Dakota. Nevada,
Oregon, and Montana Texas is in a
class by itself and has a law which gives
the people in the primaries the right
TO vote upon issues TO be proclaimed in
the party platform. Moreover, the initi-
alive and referendum, without flaw or
compromise, was pledged to the people
by the platform OF every political party
this year IN Nebraska Wisconsin H.
lin5is, Colorado, California, North Da-
kota and Kansas. It has been promised
to the people Of Arizona by the dom
inant party in the recent election, and
by one Of the two great parties this
year in Idaho, Wyoming, Washington,
Utah, Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio. More
than all this. in our cities over fifteen
millions Of Americans are living under
charters giving them the right Of refer
endum. more than ten million have the
right to initiate legislation and more
than two million have the right to re-
cali uniaithful public officials.
"This political phase of the insurgent
movement, OF course, means revolution
80 far as our state aud city govern
ments are concerned. II means the di-
rect control of politics by the people
without the Intervention Of bosses, who
were financed by aggregations of cap
ital seeking special privileges IN gov
eminent. The people are reaching def
nitely and with instructive prescience for
the gun. And that brings us to what
they are aiming at-the second phase
Of the insurgeut moyement-the regu.
lation and control Of capital"

JingIes and tests
Real Goblin.

Once there was little girl
Who tried to smuggle things,
And when the dock inspectors came
She up and hid her rings
And when they asked her what she had
She just said "Nutthin', sirl1
Although she knew it wasn't true
She had 'em all on her.
And when they had her searched, oh, my!
They found EN- in her hair -!
And the Customs Men'll get you
IF you don't declare.
Then there was a little boy
Who bought a lot of clothes,
And handkerchiefs and shirts and things
And underwear and hose;
And as he landed on the dock
He looked just like saint.
When asked if he'd bought things abroad
He said, "No, sir, [ anti"
But when they opened up his trunks
The things they found in therel
And the Customs Men'll get you
Eff you don't declare

How Red Cross Seals Fight Consumption

How Red Cross Seals Fight Consumption
It would be impossible to tell of all
the good work that the money re-
ceived from Red Cross stamps last year
has done during the past year. but a
few instances may be cited
In Chicago, a little over $4,000 was
realized. and this money for FIVE months
supported eight free tuberculosis dis
pensaries. together with eleven visiting
nurses. $50 new patients being exam
ined and $500 visits made to the clinics.
In addition to this for the same five
months the central Office Of the Chi
cago Tuberculosis institute was support
ed, and through this Office hundreds Of
thousands of people were helped in that
city and throughout the state Of nli-
nois.
In Brooklyn, the $1,000 taken in from
the stamp sale has gone TO support a
ferry boat day camp with an average
daily attendance of 70. Many patients
have been restored to health and useful
ness as the result Of this work.
In New York the County Red Cross
Day camp on the roof Of the Wander
bilt clinic has given a chance for new
health to hundreds Of couumptives
Similar camps have fought the fight
against tuberculosis i'm Kingston, n. ";
Schenectady, n y; Washington. D. c.;
Kalamazoo, Miehj Cleveland, Ohio, and
in many other cities.
Special nurses have been provided from
the Red Cross funds and in some cases,
tuberculosis dispensaries have been es-
tablished Literature has been printed
and distributed, lectures given, exhibits
conducted, and legislatures, municipal
and county authorities stirred to activ-
itv, as the result Of the Red Cross stamp
sale Of 1909 Every stamp has been
real bullet in the fight against tuber-
culosis.
The Vermont board of health shows
the fight is succeeding aud tuberculosis
is less now in our state

Oh, fly Ger the mountain height;
My airship true but waits Tor you

To the spicy isles where nature smiles
Oh, come and fly with me
With loves bright chain TIL bind eact

Wen ride on the passing breeze;

Then come, my love, the stars above
Are bending low to thee;
To the south sea isles where nature
smiles,
Oh, come and fly with me.

Umbrellas.

Umbrellas require great deal Of at

but at the same time they are well
worth it and repay all trouble How
often have our bonnets and hats been
saved by them from ruin when we have
been caught in sudden downpour with
no shelter near.

Many people roll up their umbrellas
while damp and then think the silk must

be left unrolled for if it is constantly
kept in tight roll the creases are apt
to rapidly wear through Ones best
silk umbrella should never be put in

tassels; these should be promptly dis
earded and new ones, which can be

served BY party Of seven girls in a
New England college recently, as a re-
lief from the monotonous Sunday night
supper. It was cooked in chaiing dish,
and might well be used an as impromptu
luncheon.
First came lite pork sausages, cooked
until they fell to pieces for very tooth
someness. With these went dried beef
anl peanut butter, both served as sand
witches, between two crackers, little
sweet pickles and picked onions.
Then appeared large apples, scraped
ont till only thin she'll remained, filled
with chopped apple and walnuts, and
covered with salad dressing.
Finally, chocolate, with two marsh
mallows dropped in each cup, and home
or rather college-made cakes and
fudge completed the meal.
