EASY TO STRENGTHEN NECK
Away With Severe Headaches
That Seem Mysterious.

A thin, weak neck is a frequent
cause of headache. With such neck
the blood supply to the brain is poor,
with the result that the latter is cas-
lily fatigued, and then you have head
ache
Then, when the neck muscles are
weak, the head is rarely carried in its
proper position. 1t is allowed to droop
forward, or to one side, the proper cir
culation 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.

Tuesday two miles west of Geneva,
ILL.,, four persons, two of whom, man

killed
The occupants were all wealthy

automobile trip from their home to
Chicago and return. They chugged
directly in front of the train and were
dashed to death before they hardly
had time to know what struck them
Following are the dead:
N. S. Anderson. Granger. Ia. fifty

Mrs. N. S. Anderson. Granger, Ia,
forty-eight years old.

out into the ditch. The body OF
George Hanley was found at the side

were terribly mangled. When mem
bers of the train crew found
James Hanley he was still alive, but

Market Manipulation.

Sheboygan.-At the request of
Gov. McGovern, the cheese price CON
troversy, aroused by the charges of
Senator Henry Krumrey of Ply
mouth, will be investigated by the
state board of public affairs, before
which the state senator will advance
his claims of market manipulation.
1t is the plan Of the board, accord
ing to local reports, to establish a
general cheese board in place of the
local bodies now operating, which
will represent the entire state and
be controlled by the producers.
at is expected that the state board
will make suggestions for the organ
ization of local cooperative associa-
lions for the sale of cheese similar
to those of the berry and fruit men
in the western part of the state,
said Senator Krumrey.

IsMAY IS ABsoLVED
HEAD OF BRITISH INQUIRY SUB
MITS HIS REPORT.
Caused by High Speed at Which
Liner Was Going.

London, July S.-The Board of
Trade inquiry into the Titanic dlsas-
ter is at an end and the report and
recommendations Of Lord Mersey, the
commissioner who presided at the
court of inquiry, have been submitted
to the five assessors sitting with him.
In the report j. Bruce lsmay. man
aging director of the White Star line,
is exonerated of the popular charge
that he influenced the navigation of
the ship or the speed that it attained
He is commended for the considera-
ton showed toward the Titanic's pas
sengers at the time of the collision
with the iceberg.
Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon and his wife.
Lucille, a dressmaker, who paid the
men in charge of their lifeboat to get
away from the wreck as quickly as
possible. are not discussed in the re-
port Lord Mersey believed it no
part of his duty to pass on such Incl
dents
On the other hand, Symons, a sea-
man who testified about ignoring APP
peals for help from passengers strug-
Cling in the sea, is censured for not
returning from the Carpathia to sue
cor those drowning.
Lord Mersey's declaration regarding
the chief causes of the disaster Is that
the speed at which the Titanic was
going was principally responsible. AS
a corollary to this he finds the liner
might have made it's schedule at a
rate of two knots an hour less than it
was making. Captain Smith Is de-
clared to have been following only the
established practice of navigators in
maintaining the speed he did through
the ice fields.
There is an expectation that excep-
lions may be taken to the references
to Ismay and Captain Smith by the as
SCISSORS.

MAY BAR MEMBERS
FROM EXHIBITING
Action to be Taken by Mana
gers of State Fair.
HAS BEEN BANE FOR YEARS
Mrs. AIDA F. Howie, Only Woman
Member OF Board and Sig Exhibit
or. IS Active in Movement and VIII
ling to Leave Cattle on Farm.

Milwaukee of the state
board Of agriculture and officials OF
the state fair may be prohibited alb
solutely from exhibiting at the fair
Action was taken in the last board
meeting to amend the regulations
with that object in view and a decid-
ing vote will be taken in the next
regular meeting.
The motion did rot pass without
opposition and a pointed discussion
ensued. 1t was argued that many of
the most valuable members of the
board and capable fair officials would
be compelled to make sacrifices with
their livestock and products barred.
The fact that there is possibility for
corruption, and that the present rule
has been a bane to the fair for many
years, was set forth forcibly by sew
eral Of the board members and the
argument for a sweeping change
seemed to find favor with a decided
majority
1t is claimed that several possible
and desirable exhibitors had with
drawn their support from the state
fair and refused ever to exhibit again
in competition with members of the
board or of officials in control.
One of the primary spirits in the
movement is Mrs AIDA F. HOWE,
first and only woman member of the
state board Mrs. HOWE also posi-
bly, would be affected most of any
member of the board, as she is enc
of the leading cattle breeders of the
state. She expressed herself as Will
ing to leave her cattle at her farm
for the interest of the state fair

around the situation by resigning,"
said Mrs. HOWE, but l shall not re-
sign. | have made up my mind on
this matter and l shall stay right on
the board. / have reached a state of
mind where honor is worth more
than the few dollars l might receive

The British nation is generally con-

the world, but We are not without our
little extravagances.
Every year, for instance, we spend
on an average, $35, 900 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
$125, 100000 Is spent on jewelry.
Gambling represents an outlay of $780,
100000, and intoxicating beverages
call for $775,000,0OO 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
600 were spent on foreign missions
