 Dear Doctor: have never yet talked with any one who has ever known 9 person with the same an noyance as I, namely. night head aches. [ go to bed perfectly we'll and
 sleep until any time after 12 or l o'clock, when I awaken with a violent headache At first I seNn almost paralyzed with it, but as soon as I force my head to move it becomes relieved I am then obliged to sit up in bed for a. time until it goes away, when can lie down and go to sleep,
 only to be awakened suffering in the same manner. I am quite often com
 pelled to remain up until after 5
 o'clock My husband says I quite often groan in my sleep before it
 awakens me. The pain seems to originate just at the back of my neck
 between the ears, apparently where the head joins the neck and extends downward to the top of my head. If I rest my head against anything like a rocking chair during the day the pain starts immediately. Otherwise it is more of d soreness during the day. It seems to affect the eyes so the eyebaI1s are sore. trust that have made the matter plain o. F.
 am inclined to think that the diff ffculty in your case is due to eye strain. and if you were to go to a thoroughly reliable and skiIful oculist and have your eyes examined, think he will confirm this opinion. You should also have your eyes care fully fitted with glasses. Until you have your eyes examined by an oculist apply hot lamentations to the back of the head and down the spine at least half way or to the middle of the back. This hot fermentation should be applied as follows: Secure a. flannel cloth of a size large enough to completely cover the part to be fomented, after it has been folded double. You will require help to a.p- ply this, for you must be in bed care fully covered up and not get up until next morning The blanket should be immersed in as hot water as can be borne, wrung out and applied ito your back, then covered with a, dry flannel and oil silk or oil cloth, then turn on your back and lie quiet. In about 15 minutes. possibly less, an other cloth should be wrung out of the hot water and applied in the same manner just as soon as the first one is taken off, so as to avoid chilling. Applications should be applied for about one hour. Just before the hot lamentations are placed to the head and back they should be sponged with warm vinegar, followed with a rub

ping of olive oil, to prevent burning of the skin. These Concentrations Should be applied just before going to bed
 Dear Doctor I have had a weak spine and bad nerves for a year but the present collapse was caused by an operation on the y bladder and rectum which I had 5 months ago Since few weeks after the, operation I have been unable to take anything g into my stomach but matted milk. The minute I take solid food my stomach begins to get sore and burn, everything turns sour and distresses me very much dare not raise my self up in bed or use my feet much because it starts a nervous pain down in the small of the back somewhere. have to be careful in turning in bed and sometimes T cannot lie on my side at al1.5 I am weak and 'ex- tremely nervous. J. c. I would advise you to secure the services of a thoroughly re1ia.b1e and skilled iosteopath, have him make an exani n atfon and give you such treat
 ments as you will need It is quite l evident that there has been some in l jury to the spine and unless this Is to continue to suffer. The Home l Health Club Book, Vol. 3, would be

 how to gain control of your nerves, | unt0SS there Is some m0cAdLtCaA IT.
 ritatfon which would then have to be
 overcome The osteopahtic treat
 ments would have that effect.
 would also suggest that you apply to
 the spine the hot Concentrations in the manner above described or first have 1 the back rubbed with warm vinegar
 and olive -oiI. then have wrung out of
 hot water flannel cloths and placed upon the back. continuing to change
 often enough to keep them hot for Isan hour. When the hot cloths are i removed the back should be rubbed | again with warm olive oil. This will infuse heat into the tissues and over 1 come the pain.

EXPLORER FINDS
 UNKN0WN TRIBE OF.
 PAINTED SAvAGES

London. July 16-Dr. Cuthbert Chris ty, well known as an explorer and an authority on sleeping sickness, has just returned from a three years sci entHdc expedition in the Congo under taken for the Belgian government. He spent IS months in the Ituri forest, where he met a remarkable people, who made themselves invisible by painting their bodies with dull red lines. They organize great hunts in the forest and drive the animals into nets.
 Progress, was difficult in the forest, said the explorer Constant rain, con tinuous twilight, a plague of flies and ticks and water and mud, often waist deep, had to be contended with. Food was hard to obtain, and often there was nothing to eat but few bananas or wild kola nuts. Shelters of leaves would be erected at night by the na- tives.
 pr Christey travelled from Boma, at the mouth of the Congo, to the Rejaf on the Mile, from which he proceeded down the river to Khartoun.

THE NATURE STUDENTS

There are days of automobiles base ball and golf, when the people take their pleasure in speed, yelling or costly games. What G1as become of the simple old times when so many people used to find their recreation in study ing botany. splitting up rocks to find their geological rmation, or learn ing the notes of birds? Are there any nature students left?
 If you ask the modern business man to find relief from the cares of his office by going out in the woods and learning the names and caaracterist- ics of the trees, the plants, and the insects he would be very much bored.
 Yet every species of birds has it's own Vaccinations and graces, and it is a pleasure to number them all in your circle of friends Every variety of tree renders its own service ito mankind, and it is interesting to know what has contrf buted to human life. The out door world is a great stage on which nature is performing her thrilling drama If one's eyes can be opened, there is 9. world of beauty and interest in the quiet and seclusion of the woods and fields.

NEW KIND OF FLY

gnats this year than at any time since
he has made observations. This may
be due in part to the marked aD-

past. There are plenty Of crows and
hawks, but robins, bluebirds. oreoles'
and flaps of that specie are scarce.

BESSER ACTION is
ON TRIAL AT KEOKUK

Keokuk, April 21.-The infringe
ment case OF Charles A. Besser Of Bur
lington, against the Merrilat Culvert
Core Co, Of Winfield, went to trial In
the federal court Tuesday. On Decem-
Der 81, 1908, the defendant was issued
q similar patent for collapsible cul-
vert core. The plaintiff claims that
this latter patent was improperly
issued. Both patents refer to a con-
ttrivance around which cement culverts
are built. After the cement hardens
the contrivance or core is collapsed
and removed In this action an &C
counting OF profits IL asked for and
that the Merrilat machine be declared
an infringement on the Besser patent
and that an injunction issue.
Besser claims that the Merrilat COM
pany builds It's machine on the Besser
model, while the Merrilat people claim
their machine does not infringe the
Besser machine and further that there
is nothing new In the latter and that
it is not entitled to q patent because
of lack of novelty.
