EASY TO STRENGTHEN NECK
Simple Exercises viii Go Far to Do
Away With Severe Headaches
That Seem Mysterious.

A thin, weak neck is a frequent
cause of headache. With such a neck
he blood supply to the brain Is poor.
with the result that the latter is cas-
Iy fatigaed. and then you have head
ache.
Then, when the neck muscles are
weak, the head is rarely carried In it's
proper position. 1t is allowed to droop
forward, or to one side, the proper cir
cuiation Of the blood being interfered
with, and headache is again the con-
sequence.
further, when the head Is not held
properly, there Is Jar when walking or
taking other exercise, and once more
headache is the inevitable result
The two best exercises for the neck
are head bending and head lifting.
In the former the head is bent back
wards and forwards and to one side
or the other. the under jaw being
thrust out when bending backwards.
and forced down into the chest when
the head comes forward.
Head lifting is really neck stretch
Ing, the neck being stretched as far
upwards as possible.
Brain workers who feel fatigue COM
ing on will find that few minutes Of
head bending and head lifting will
clear their brains and wonderfully re-
store their energies.

Wise Farmer.

In the legislature of ore of the west.
ern states last winter there was bill
under discussion whether they should
teach farming in the public schools
There was young man whose bust
ness was school teaching before he
became a statesman. He was an ad-
vocate of such law being passed. An
old farmer member rose from his seat
and said that the law would be useless
because the teachers were incompe-
tent to teach the children farming
The young school teacher statesman
asked him by what authority he made
such a statement. The old farmer an.
swered If they knew how to farm, why
would they teach?-Mack's National
Monthly.

Some British Extraxaaances.

The British nation is generally con
sidered to be amongst the thriftiest in
the world, but we are not without our
little extravagances.
Every year, for instance, we spend
on an average, $35,000,000 on football
A million more than that is spent on
hunting. Our tobacco bill amounts to
no less a sum than $4,000, 900, while
SIZE, 100000 Is spent on jewelry
Gambling represents an outlay Of $40.
100000. and intoxicating beverages
call for s775, 100000 in our money.
On the other hand, our charitable
nation gives millions a year for vari
Gus missionary societies, hospitals
homes, etc. Last year, alone $4,000,
900 were spent on foreign missions

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes II hard
to keep awake and do things in day

under such circumstances is like set

can put It out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and w.t.
awake individual during the day. u
A lady changed from her old way or
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years l had been
a great sufferer from Indigestion.
After trying several kinds OF medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop or
potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in
few days that craving, gnawing feel
ing would start up, and l would vomit
everything / ate and drank.
When l started on Grape-Nutss som-
iting stopped, and the bloated feeding
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
my mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing tho
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well, and says she don't think she
could do without It.
1T is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper Of
Grape-Nuts as In the old days when

Connoisseurs say that fish living lazily
in deep pools where existence is easy are
poor in quality, whereas those in running
water where food is hard to get and dangers
are all around to be guarded against have
the finest, the real exquisite flavor.
So it would seem that nature favors the
strenuous life-not that purposeless, result
less buzzing about in the squirrel cage
which some people call life, any more than
the eternal sitting with folded hands and

that of hustling for living for self and

In railway OF other accident a man
may be scared within an inch, or even
within half an inch, of his life; he may get
such fright as will all but kill him, but
unless the fear leaves permanent and pain
full physical effects, he has no redress in a
suit for damages A decision handed down
by North Carolina court says that "mere
fright is not actionable." A person must
suffer both in body and in mind and be
made sick in order to recover damages.

III is the clln dwellings, proper, or the
ruins of the cliffs or canyons, that are
by far the most interesting and the
sour of the greatest speculation and
wonder. Maj. Powell, United States
geologist, expresses his surprise at
seeing nothing for whole days but
perpendicular cliffs, everywhere rid
died with human habitations which re-
semble the cells of a honey comb more
than anything else" Unlike the low
land or valley ruins the walls of the
cliff dwellings were constructed almost
entirely of stone cut to shape, we'll laid
and joints properly broken. Being I'M
acquainted with the use Of lime, they
replaced 1t with mixture Of clay and
cinders and sometimes charcoal, often
colored to match the stone and to-day
on this mortar the marks of the tools
used and even of the fingers of the
workmen are plainly discernible. 1t is
truly wonderful to note how well this
peculiar people turned the decaying
canyon walls into account. By the
natural crumbling and falling away Of
the softer strata, caves OF all shapes
and dimensions were formed which,
when partitioned off into rooms and
the opening walled up, formed an
adobe safe from fire, storm or flood;
warm in winter, cool In summer; but
more than all fortress behind which
the lord and master of this aerial man.
sion could protect his family against
horde.
A Great Palace.
1t is this style of ruin that is most
numerous, being scattered promiscu-
ously throughout the region; in caves
as above described, in the beds of can
yons, sufficiently elevated above high
water mark, and on the open mesas;
in fact where one would least expect
TO find human habitations, these mys-
terious relics confront us. A few con-
tain but single room, others, 10, 20
and as many as so, while the great
Palace of the Mancos originally en-
braced not less than 1000 rooms with
in its walls. One on the Mesa Verde
covered an area of 100000 square feet
and contained 100000 cubic feet OF
masonry. Great skill was shown in
joined the walls to the cliffs and in i'm
itating the coloring and aspect Of the
neighboring rocks, indeed, in certain
narrow gorges one must needs have a
good pair of eyes to detect them amid
their rugged surroundings. The win
dows and doors are small, the latter
being very narrow and rarely exceed
ing fou or five feet in height. This
has given rise to the opinion held by
some that the Cliff Dwellers were a
race of pygmies. But their mummified
remains show them to have been Of
the ordinary stature.
The cave or cliff dwellers are found
from 200 to 500 feet above the bed Of
the stream. Holmes mentions somo
SO high ard well concealed that with
the aid of telescope they can hardly
be distinguished from the surrounding
rocks. Imagination Is lost in at
tempting to account for the means EN-.
ployed in conveying their constructions
material and the every day necessities
Of life to those lofty homes.
