Various Forms
OF Headache

sit is necessary in order to treat head
aches properly to understand the causes
which produce the affection" says DR.. ]. w.
Ray, of Blockton, Ala. Continuing, he says,
Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment of disease without knowing what
causes give rise to 1t, and we must remem-
Der that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give q remedy intended to
counterfeit the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give a remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, anti-kamnia tablets will be found
a most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women"
When we have patient subject to regular
attacks of sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actotds," and when
he feels the least sign of an oncoming at
tack, he should take two AK Tablets. Such
patients should always be instructed to
carry a few antl-kamnia tablets, so as to
have themS ready for instant use. These
tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief in q very
few minutes. Ask for AK Tablets
Antt-kamnfa tablets at all druggists.

CARS, NOT TALK
That Is What Is Needed by
the Railroads.
Officials Say Meetings VIII Not
Help the Situation.

Marked relief from the box car fam
inc, that is affecting practically all
western roads. has been felt during the
last week by the Santa Fe railway, ac-
cording to J. R. Koontz general
freight agent for the road. A gradual
improvement in the situation has been
noticed by officials of the road. ac-
cording to Mr.. koontz.
Efforts of eastern lines to return as
rapidly as possible cars belonging to
western roads is responsible for the re-
Hef. At q recent meeting of the box
car committee of the American Rail-
way association. it was agreed that a
concerted effort should he made by
eastern lines to return to western
roads at least twenty per cent more
cars than are received from them
That the plan is being put into oper-
alton IS evidenced from tile relief OBJ
tanned by the Santa Fe.
When improvement in the situation
was first noted by the Santa Fe two
weeks ago, the ROAD had nearly six
teen thousand box cars on foreign"
lines. Since that time, however, the
number of cars off the system has
been reduced considera bly,.
Despite the numerous hearings that
are being held, railway officials ex-
pect little relief as a result ofsthe
meetings.

Strange Facts.

FAMILIES GROWING SMALLER

Race suicide is getting toe holo
on Kansas. according to a report TO-DAY
by ]. C. Mohler. secretary of the state
board of agriculture. Mothers state
ment, based on the census returns for
1915, shows that the size of the aver
age Kansas family has decreased more
than nine per cent in ten years.
Twenty years ago the size of the
average Kansas family was close TO
five-4.77 to use the exact official re-
turns. Ten years ago. based on census
returns for 1908, the average family in
Kansas was 4.47. Now Kansas Is
hanging languidly over the four mark
Returns for 1915 show there are 40
persons in the average Kansas family
Figures in possession of Mohler do
not indicate that the baby has sudden
ly become unpopular in Kansas. 1t
merely indicates that with the deVel-
opment of intensified farming and
the accumulation of fat bank accounts,
Kansas fell behind in her baby crop.
This week Kansas is holding state
wide baby week and is right up in the
front rank in enthusiasm with other
states in the observation of the nation
al festivities. There is but one thing
la cking-mOre babies to the average
home.
Babies Fall Short.
Returns by Mothers census takers
show 536, 571 children in Kansas I'M
der the age of five years, as 9Sains-
532, 636 in 1905 and 499,S23 in 1895.
Yet the incres Sc If the number of
babies is not in proportion 10 the in
crease in the states population
Official figures for 1915 show a
population of 1.672,545 for the state.
Returns for 1905 gave the state 1,544,
96S inha bitants. In 1895 the census
takers found 1,334,734 men, women
and children in the state.
All of these figures, the Mohler re-
port indicates, show that baby is less
popular in Kansas than twenty or
thirty years ago Away back in the
years when the Populists preached the
gospel of less corn and more hell
Kansas checked in with an average
family in excess of five. Then che
dropped under the five mark. Now
she is barely on the safe side of an
average family of four.
Two children to each home is the
average allotment under the new
Mohler census returns. In twenty
years the average has dropped two
children to every third family In
thirty years the state has reduced heI
average one baby for every family in
Kansas. {.
