This trouble commonly called sick head
ache. Is said to be due TO the retention OF
in the system. often IL il stated that
poor condition Of the blood IS cause OF
these headaches. or that IL j. nervous con
dition: and in certain cases doubt this is
true.
Where treatment Is demanded, IL is more
for the pain than anything else, and Dr. A.
y. Schellschmidt Of Louisville has found
anti-kamnia tablets to give prompt and sat
isfactory relief. Rest should be insisted
upon he says. land the patient should go
TO bed. darken the room. and all the attend
ants and family should be quiet as pos
sibie. An emetic will sometimes shorten the
attack. The bowels should be kept open with
'Actoids': hot bath and thorough rub
down with coarse towel often give CRATE
full relief. Two ntikamnia tablets when
the first signs appear will usually prevent
the attack. During an attack. tablet
every hour or two will shorten the attack
and relieve the usual nausea and vomiting"
These tablets may be obtained at all drug
gists- Ask for AK Tablets. They are also
nnexcelled for nervous headaches. neuralgia

Principal Commercial Mushroom.

The common field mushroom pos
sesses pink gills. which turn black
with age, and a ring around the upper
part of the stem, but has no volva or
cup at its base. This is the principal
mushroom grown commercially. and
when properly prepared, is indeed a
delicacy. 1t is found in open fields
from August to October, and may be
recognized by its pink gills. the gray
shiny cover of the cap and stem and
by the other characteristics just mem
toned.
All puff balls when young and pos
sessing white flesh also are edible
The common morel, or sponge mush-
room, possesses excellent eating quail
ity and may easily be recognized 1t
has a much furrowed and wrinkled
conical top. which is borne on a more
or less elongated stem. There are no
true gills. the spores being borne on
the irregular pitted heads. When
fresh these tops appear yellowish and
are borne on a white stem. The morel
is usually found growing in the woods
in the spring of the year.

HOW YOU CAN AVOID
MUSHROOM POISONING
Ways of Determining Good From
Bad Fungi Plants Are
Set Forth.

Mushrooms, which belong to a
group of plants known as fungi, have
been used as an article of food for
hundreds of years. To the epicures of
all countries these delicate plants are
in demand because of their delightful
woodland flavor. In China and Euro
pean countries they are gathered by
the poorer classes. Although these
people have learned by experience to
tell the difference between the common
edible and the poisonous forms, deaths
among them from mushroom poisoning
are frequent. Even in the United
States i. is estimated that about 100
people die each year from mushroom
poisoning.
The popular terms mushrooms" and
"toadstools" are vaiueless when one at
tempts to differentiate between these
two types of fungi. There are also
number of so-called tests which are
absolutely unreliable. Each kind grows
on lawns. in open fields and In the
woods. The saying that mushroom
is edible because it is found in an open
field is therefore not to be relied upon;
nor can reliance be placed upon tests
based on odor or taste.
Some of our most poisonous forms
have both excellent mushroom-like
odors and tastes. Color, by itself. is
no indication, for there are poisonous
and edible forms which are white or
gray or of various other shades. Nei-
Their is peeling test for edible forms.
as some of the most poisonous kinds
peel easily.
There is only one way of distinguish
ing between edible and poisonous
mushrooms and that is by knowing
and being able to recognize the botani-
cal characteristics which the various
forms possess. Briefly these character
istics may be summed up as follows:
The part of the mushroom which We
see is but the fruit" of plant that
grows on dead organic matter. either
in the ground or in part Of trees. This
plant, which has been growing below
the surface of the soil for long time.
in some cases for years. consists of a
fine network of very delicate threads.
having the appearance Of compact
cobweb.
Ordinarily the portion Of the fungus
in the earth is not observed; when
fruiting time comes. however, this cob
webby structure sends out small
rounded egg-like body, known as the
button. The button grows rapidly and
soon bursts, revealing a small cap-like
portion borne upon stem. 1t is this
cap and stem which constitute most of
the so-called mushrooms.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-11-07
Given Warty Appearance.

AS the cap and stem enlarge and
grow upward portions of the button
sheath may be either borne upward on
top Of the cap, giving the cap a warty
appearance, or they may pass away.
The lower half of the sheath may dis
appear or may remain in the form Of
a cup around the base Of the stem. The
presence or absence of this cup. known
botanically as volva, is an important
feature in identification, for some of
the most poisonous forms possess this
structure. At first the margin of the
cap is attached to the stem by a con-
Meeting membrane which readily rup-
lures, revealing the gills on the under
side Of the cap. Portions Of the men,
brane may remain on the stem in the
form of a ring, and the outer portions
may remain attached to the edge Of the
cap. The presence or absence of this
ring on the stem is another important
distinguishing feature.
These characteristics, together with
the color of the spores (minute bodies.
which, like Seeds propagate new
plants), borne upon the gills, make up
the most important features which
enable one to judge with certainty the
edible quality. All mushrooms which
possess a volva at the base OF the stem
and ring on the upper portion of
the stem should be rejected. When
collecting mushrooms 1t is necessary
to dig up the base of the stem to-
gether with the main body. otherwise
the volva may be overlooked

BACK TO THEIR CAMP
AFTER 16-M|LE HIKE
Third Regiment, D. c. N. G.,
Tired, But Officers Are Pleas
ed Over Performance.
TO GET ELECTION RETURNS
BY J. CROSBY MCCARTHY,


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Camp Of the Sd
District of Columbia Infantry and
Troop A, District Cavalry, November
Tired as the result of their sixteen
mile hike here from Luxella, where
they camped last night, but happy at
the thought Of being back again, the
men of the Sd Regiment. District Ma
tional Guard, marched into camp early
this afternoon and soon were stretched
out on their cots, getting a hard earned
rest. The New Braunfels trip was the
longest hike they had ever had, and
while many of them experienced con-
siderable trouble with their feet the
officers were pleased with the general
performance of the regiment.
Upon their arrival here the chief con-
Germ Of the men was pay day, but they
could obtain no definite information as
to when this would be. 1t is under
stood, however, that the men will re-
ceive their pay within the next day or
SO.
The men are looking forward with
great interest to the receipt tonight OF
election returns over a special wire
which Chaplain Smith has had run to
the Y. M C. A. building, near their
camp. Being tired out as the result of
their strenuous day, it is believed few
of them will care to go down town to
get the returns and great crowd is
expected at the association building.

MARIE DORO IN
1.-THE WHITE PEARL"

Marie Doro. one of the most bril-
liant and popular stars of the Charles
Frohman company, whom p~hotop&ay
lovers admired so in her first appear
ance on the screen in 1.-The Morals OF
Marcus" is superb beyond the power
of words in her latest and greatest
screen Characterization, in the Fa-
nous Players Film company's latest
contribution to Paramount Pictures.
THE White PEARL, which is the Ely
theater headliner tonight.
Tender and exquisite as was Miss
Doro's creation of Carlotta, the little
rescued inmate from the Turkish
harem, she is doubly so in the unusu-
al role of a little American girl who
suddenly finds herself transplanted
OF a Japanese island, worshipped by
the natives as the representative of
Buddha, through her possession of
a mysterious Wnlte pearl with
which some Hindu legend is con-
nected. and thoroughly unhappy, de-
spite the adulation of the Japanese,
because of her lost love, Robert AL
den, whom she believes to have been
drowned in the wreck which separ-
ated them.
There is opportunity provided here
for a wraith-like creation, of which
the abundant art of Miss Doro takes
full advantage. Her garments and
hair wet. after her rescue from the
sea, Miss Doro is a veritable mist
sprite, a bit OF drifting fogSor foam
that has come to life. And the light
ing of this scene is one of the most
exquisite effects ever contained in a
photoplay-the moon coming up from
the waters, and as she goes to sleep
in the arms of the statue of Buddha,
the moonlight falls upon her. until
she is almost in actuality a white
pearl of a girl.

CONTESTS ADMINISTRATIONS
OF THE JAMES SIR ESTATE

A contest has been instituted in
the matter of the appointment of an
administrator of the estate of James
Sri, deceased.
Mr.. Siri at the time of his death
was the owner of a small house at
Kimberly and an interest in some
claims near Hamilton, on which
~leasers are now working. and valu-
able ore, it is said, is being shipped.
Joseph Vietti, one of the propri-
etors of the Southern Club in Ely.
and a lifelong friend of the deceased
was the first to make application
for the appointment as administrator.
A contest was filed by Carl Muir of
Hamilton, who owns an interest in
the mining claims. Mr.. Muir also
seeks the appointment as admins
traitor and the matter was heard be-
fore Judge McFadden on Wednesday.
Before his death Mr.. Siri executed
a deed conveying his interest in the
mining claims to a nephew. who is
said to be now in Italy, and with
whom Mr.. Vietti states he advertised
for in an Italian paper. He exhibited
a letter from the nephew and stated
that he was in further Communication
with the heir.
Attorney James M. Lockhart rep
resents Mr.. Vietti. while Mr.. Muir's
interests are being cared for by the
firm of Chandler & Quayle.
