SOME EVILS OF
HEADACHE CURES

Acetnid antipyrin and phenacetin
are vers commonly used in the prepar-
alton of mixtures intended for the re-
lief Of headache and other minor aches
and pains. These drugs are white
powders with comparatively little taste,
and are known as coaltar products for
the reason that they are obtained in
directly from coal tar and possess the
characteristics of the derivatives of
that substance.
According to the experts OF the United
States bureau of chemistry. the unfavor-
able symptoms produced by these drugs
affect principally the heart and circula-
tion and through them other parts Of
the body.
The symptom which occurs most fire.
quently in poisoning by these drugs is
blueness OF the skin. II the dose taken
has not been large. the discoloration
may be very slight and Dlay effect only
a small portion of the body. Thus. in
some persons who habitually use head
ache mediciens containing these drugs.
all that may be nted is an occasional
blueness of the lips and mouth. and
possibly the nails and finger tips. II.
however. the doses are larger or the
drug taken more frequently. the blue
ness may affect the skin of the whole
body.
when Firs. Noticed.
This peculiar effect was first noticed
by the physicians who administered
these remedies in much larger doses
than is now customary, but little at
tcntion was paid to il. as it appeared
10 be only a passing effect. Since then,
however. il has been learned that the
bluing of the skin is not n harmless
manifestation. but Is due to destructive
changes In the blood which are the di-
rect result of the use of the drug and
that il is accomplished by impoverish- |
ment of the blood. Hence. those who
take these remedies habitually often suf- |
fer from "anemia." or thin blood. and |
the symptoms which usually accompany !
this condition-pallor. shortncss of
breath. palipitation OF the heart mus
cular weakness. disinclination to make |
any eNertion, etc.
The injudicious use of these remedies |
also has a harmful effect upon the hart. |
thus tending to eXaggerate the symp- |
toms above mentioned. In addition, it |
may give rise TO other i'll effects which |
arise from weakness of the circulation, |
and may often produce death.
II has long been known that most of |
the drugs in headache mixtures arc
habit-forming drugs. The habit is us
ually acquire through the use of the
remedy for headaches and minor palms. |
Troubles Of this kind are peculiarly |
likely to return again and again, and as !!
the remedy has but a temporary effect
the dose must be repeated. In time the
patient may easily become dependent |
upon the drug.
Furthermore. the ache or pain for !
which the medicine was first taken is (
often worse than ever after the effects
OF the remedy have passed away. be-
cause OF the weakened condition OF the
system which may result from the use
of these agents, and hence there is ad-
ditional call for the remedy. Thus a
habit may be established-more drug.

Business Woman Should
AlWayS Be Neatly Dressed

Not long ago a young woman applied
for some art work which was to be done
at home. There was a woman in charge

ness, which was a pity since women
need 70 stand together in their business
relations.
In the first place, it is best to ex-
plain that the only cause for complaint
against the girl was that she looked
nice. and an experienced eye could have
told that her suit was only 4 brown

suitable toilet and as it had to serve
for every day and all day. the jaunty

she looking for an Office position, since

who is looking for a position is to be
quietly and neatly dressed.
The girl whose gloves need mending

tidy does not create the impression that

cut again, without giving herself time
to repent. One thick strand fell on the
floor, and lay there neglected. She had
scarcely finished when George shouted
to her to come down.
His voice recalled her. The passion that
had been SO completely gratihed by her
ruthless sacrifice died down, and Renee's 8
eyes dilated as though she were awaken
ing out Of trance into reality. Sick
ness and fright seized her. She heard
him coming upstairs, and ran into the
next room, where she covered, waiting
until he should discover what she had
done. He discovered It Immediately, as
she heard by his cry.

His voice was full OF horror and OF
anger. Its tone was music to her ears,
balm to her sore heart. The outraged
sense Of possession that she detected in

Interesting Information
For the Spring Bride

Everything that concerns marriage and
love is interesting to the spring bride.
And perhaps it would be well to know
that many of the customs and ceremO-
nies observed today are exactly the same
AZ those used hundreds CT years aS".
when Roman ladies became the brides of
warriors bold and gallant nights.
Love. the poets theme, is always in

those TO whom it comes merely as a
dream OF the golden past. new in its
beautiful realization to the youthful and
favored before whom are the possibilities
Of many years. Destiny awaits them,
there is no black past TO mar the present,
no dull dread to cast its shadows aver
the future. Life and youth and love exist

beautiful years in store.
Alas, That disappointment should
arise. disillusion, care. trouble-disen-
chantment.
But in % per cent of the marriages that
take place these conditions are inevitable
The man and woman who can steer clear
of these difficulties are indeed happy, and
can steer ahead of troubles; but when
such troubles can no longer be avoided,
who can meet them hand in hand-with-
out needless upbraidings or cruel re-
pruaches.
Directly the wife assumes the husbands
name. she assumes a proportion of the
responsibilities in life that also belong to
him. 1t is interesting to know the origin
of the lady assuming the gentleman $
name on marriage. This custom is a
Roman one. When Julia became the wife
of Pompey, she was known as Julia Of
Pompey." Later on the custom still pre-
vailed with the exception that the of
