BEAUTY AND SICK HEADACHES
These Are Sworn Enemies and Few
Women May Keep Both-Some
Simple Remedies.

II you are subject" to sick head
aches, then you may be pretty sure
the marks do not disappear with the
attacks, but remain TO mar the beau
ty of your face. That drawn look,
those circles under the eyes, the sal.
lowness of the skin-they are all
traces left of the headaches.
In nine cases out of ten perhaps
this may be effected by exercising a
little common sense, for whatever the
primary cause, secondarily headaches
are due to disordered nerves. The
first suggestion, then, is control your
nerves. Shut off the tension. Let
yourself down. Close your eyes and
shut out thoughts, Remain thus for
five minutes, and tomorrow at noon
repeat the performance, and then the
next day and next and forever. Then
put watch over yourself and every
time during the day when you catch
yourself and your nerves getting
frightened into knots let down" A
few weeks attention, and you will
find that you have those nerves pref
ty we'll under control, and IL the head
aches haven't stopped annoying alto
gether you are at least now in condi-
ton to deal with them.
Perhaps your system is in a weak
ened condition and you need tonic
which the doctor will prescribe; but
N aril 40 he met
what you need, and certainly 1t Is
harmless, The less medicine the bet
ter and never. no matter how dis
turbing the headaches, be persuaded
to try" powders or sleeping draughts.
Better let the headaches take their
course than commence that habit.
Eat simply, avoiding rich foods, and
eat regularly and often rather than
too greedily at time. Drink plenty
of water, including q glass of hot wa
ter with half a teaspoontul of baking
soda in it once a week, and glass
of water with half a teaspoonful each
of soda and cream of tartar half an
hour before breakfast one morning
out of the six.
Take plenty OF rest, snatching nap
If for only five minutes, in the middle
of the day. Beware Of eye strain.
Keep tbs eyes in condition by dous
ing them with water with salt in It
every night and keep clear Of colds
In fact use common sense TO elm
mate the recurrent headache.-Ex-
