What is the eommoneSt cause Of a
headache? 'vNb- "a \.
There are a hundred or more differ
ent causes
over fatigue, not enough sleep, sleep.
ing in a stuf'y room, overeating OF
eating something tina, disagrees with
the stomach, some slight eye defect
an infection or congestion OF the
nasal passage caused by cold Any Of
h'ese things and many others may
bring on headache
The eyes are very frequently the
cause Of a headache. Curiously
henough too II is more often the very
slight defect in them than the more
marked disorders which give rise ID
headaches
You might suppose that ones eyeI
ought 70 be very far wrong before
they would cause a severe pain in
the head and yet II IL true that very
slight deviation from the normal will
cause constant and often disabling
headaches
dressmakers typeset,ers and all who
use their eyes constantly are apt Il
suffer from eyestrsin headaches.
Aches in the head may also arise
from a great variety Of chronic dis
orders within the nose Itself and also
within the bony air cavities OF the
skull which open into the nose.
These nasal headaches, as they are
commonly called. are surprisingly
common. Everyone with a persistent
headache who has not had his nose
examined has overlooked a possible
source Of trouble.

YOUNG WIFE WANTS
HUNDRED A MONTH
Her Husband, Aged 70, De.
Clares She Deserted
Him. ,

Very interesting details have
cropped out OF the ehaneery cause Of
Bertha West VI. John West, who lives
along Pnckett's creek, Union district,
which has been heard for the past four
days by Judge Vincent IN Intermedi-
ate court Wednesday afternoon the
last OF the testimony was taken and
briefs were ordered filed.
West was seventy years old when
he married Bertha Nuzum, who was
then twenty years old, the couple hav-
ing been married on September IS,
1910. Under the contract West was 10
dress his bride very deliberately, or as
the plaintiff says, He was 10 dress
me like a princess" In addition he
signed contract with the girls par.
ents 10 pay $500 over to his youthful
bride. The testimony developed that
Mrs. West lived with her husband
three weeks and then stayed away for
a period OF q year II was shown that
she ran up a bill Of 3l4s.49 At a local
store and he claims a second one at an.
other Fairmont mercantile house.
Mrs. West claims that he paid only
$500 OF the 1880 contract money.
Al the November rules OF 1910 West
instituted suit through his attorney,
A. S. Fleming. asking the court 10
grant a divorce. The bill and answer
were flied After the suit had been in.
stituted the court learned from out.
side sources that the couple we're
again living together The court sum
moned Attorney Fleming and dismiss.
ed the proceedings at the cost Of the
plaintiff.
Il is understood that az that time
she resided with her husband four
weeks and then left him again. She
returned and remained eight weeks
and then they had a scrap and she re.
manned away two and one-haf years.
Last April she endeavored TO secure
a warrant for non-support, but was in.
formed by the prosecuting attorneys
office that under the existing ciTcum.
stances none could be issued. II iS re-
ported that she returned TO him and
tried TO live with him but be would
not permit her to remain.
In Vests deposition he alleges that
his wife deserted him. In her answer
she admits that she left him, but there
is q variance as 10 the evidence and
the facts set up in the answer. Dur.
ing the hearing she testified that she
loved him" and said that West was
worth $4,000. In the deposition she
set forth that she did not love him.
At one time she lived IN Z cottage on
her own home place for q period Of
year by herself.
West accuses hts wife as being un'
faithful and names . prominent Win
field district farmer and Z prominent
Union district politician as parties to
the case. The evidence from all &C.
counts was Of a very spicy character.
West claims all told he has given his
wife $500.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.

New York, Oct 24-Apart from the prominence of a few extremely specu latiVe issues at materially higher lev els and the uncertain or heavy trend of representative shares, the most noteworthy feature of today s stock market was it's comparative dullness
 For the first time in more than fortnight operations were kept within moderate bounds. the total falling far short of the familiar million share mark, although trading quickened mo- ticeably in the final hour.
 This change was directly traceable to further apprehension arising from local monetary conditions. The so- called money pool continued it's con- ferences, but no statement of it's atti- tude was available while the market was in session.
 Oils were conspicuous from the out set, American Petroleum common, which made it's initial bow on the ex- change, making a gross gain of almost | points, and the preferred about Il, while Mexican Petroleum held the bet ter part of it's substantial advance.

likely to be stopped as. non essential. It is the one sport that middle aged men can engage in, feeling that they are not wasting their time, but really are keeping themselves fit for real service should they ever be needed. Aside from the personal pleasure and recreation they get out of the pas time, they feel they are following a sport which will keep them efficient as home guard nucleus.
 No Unnecessary Shooting
 When we say the Government favors trapshooting as a sport we do not wish to imply that shot and shell should be used for unnecessary shooting Far from it. The amount of lead and powder used in trap shooting is small but nevertheless it is our duty to conserve it. A sugges tion offered to gun clubs is that they limit the program to 50 targets in an afternoon.
 Another suggestion offered to gun clubs is that they make special eff fort to interest men of draft age who are not shooters to accompany mem bers to the traps and learn to shoot. It is the big idea.
 Golf is a fine sport Tennis is an- other excellent pastime, but it is not with golf clubs nor tennis recquets we will lick the Huns; it is with the rife and shotgun. Every man is bet ter fitted to defend his country when he knows how to shoot and, better still to shoot straight
 | Wouldn't it be fine thing if those who are participating in all other branches of outdoor sport would spend one afternoon each month at the traps? The knowledge gained
 would be most valuable when a call was made on their services by Uncle i, Sam.
 I The United States was carved out of wilderness with rife balls hy our 1 forefathers. We have defended our
 selves from foes without by ou1

 that day will mark the beginning oi our national decay. We are as cer-
