Cerebral Anemia.

Is there such thing as anemia

ache? The correspondent says she
is a girl aged is and rather anemic
and she has almost constant head
ache.
Anemia means blood impoverished ID
either in the number Of red corpuscles
~ in the amount Of hemoglobin lcol-
orine natter in the corpuscles. One
who is anemic has anemia Of the brain
as we'll as anemia of the heart. lungs

which receives blood.
But there Il 2 condition of dimin-

whether the individual il anemic or
full blooded and this condition may
account for headache, though perhaps
most ordinary headaches are asso-
ciated rather with the opposite state
an excessive flow Of blood to the
brain.
The common relief of headache by
dose of salts of any kind, even com
mon table salt, is due to the reduction
of the pressure Of the blood in the
brain by the withdrawal Of water
from the circulation by the affinity
of the salt for water. If the head
ache were due to anemia or to in
sufficient blood IN the brain, any such
saline cathartic would merely aggra-
vate the trouble incidentally, ii is
sound science as well as common
sense that people who have poor blood
should avoid saline cathartics.
Most psychologists conclude that
the circulat ton in the brain is not con-
trolled by vasomotor nerves. as is
the, circulation in the rest of the body.
hut that it is Indirectly controlled by

of blood to the brain. and vice versa
Thus. if the feet and skin surface
generally are cold. the brain keeps
busy and one is wakefu1; if one warns
the feet or gets up and puts on some
extra cover. the brain again knocks
off work and sleep returns.
This varying flow Of blood TO the

blood as we'll as the quantity must
be concerned in metabolisn in brain

Of the other tissues of the body. But
the amount of blood flowing to the
brain is probably the main factor in
determining mental efficiency.
AS 1 have often mentioned. there
is a great network of blood vessels

the blood in the body. and it is the
present view of physicians that sud

fainting. swoonins, syncope, from the
sudden withdrawal of blood from the

the soundness of this view is the very

Another way TO bleach the arms

this embroidery was mentioned re-
Gently in this department.
So many requests came to me TO
know more about the work follow
ing my offer TO describe the embroid-
cry. that the result is this account
If what hooked embroidery is and
how to do it.
Transferring Initials.
When initiating bath towels transfer
the letters to the rough material. not
the smoothly woven border. Use black
carbon paper as the medium. Do not
expect the outlines to be unwaverins.
as should be the case when goods is
smooth. but straighten the edges as
YOU draw up the embroidery threads,
so that outlines are correct. While
hooked embroidery is not in itself so
precise as that done with needle and
thread. still every effort should be
made to work the outlines evenly.
If the material has an extra thick
loop weave. it will probably be neces-
sary to haste a piece of Java canvas
over the space where initials are
wanted and hook through the meshes.
Do not work over them as YOU would
in cross stitch fanCywork. Draw out
hooked work is completed. The height
II loops in the work should conform
10 the size Of the loops in the weave.
for the embroidery should be even
With the fabric and be raised as little
as possible
Method Of Work.
To do the embroidery. hold the ma
terial over the hoop in the left hand.
Extend the third and fourth fingers so
that the cotton or yarn comes over
them. The hook is held in the right
hand. Push the hook through the ma
terial Catch the cotton and pull II
up through the fabric exactly as in
ma king hooked rugs. Follow the de
sign carefully. Continue to draw in
tiny loops of the embroidery cotton
until the entire design is filed in or
outlined as the pattern indicates.
For the benefit of those who are in
terested in this novel embroidery. l
will tell in later article how to make
medallion initials and further applica
tions OF the work TO decorative pur-
poses.
