The distinguished British au-

turn at explaining. He says that
headache is not brainache. The
brain substance proper is not
sensitive-has no feeling in it.

The headaches of active life
either accord with the classical
descriptions of migraine or occur
with disorders of the digestive
system, with physical or mental
exhaustion, or with psychological
disorder like the anxiety state.
They are closely related in MANY
ways but vary very much in

FIERY,!7CHY SKIN LYSOOTHED BY THIS SULPHUR

Mentho-Sui71ur, pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is irritated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says noted skin specialist.
 The moment this sulphur prep aration is applied the itching stops and after two or three ap- plications, the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully."- clear and smooth. Sulphur is so prec- jous as a skin remedy because it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or dis fiurement. Metho-Sulphur always heals eczema right up.

WASHINGTON IS PUSHING
 BIC PROJECT

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. z3-A n,re year campaign, to win na- tional attention to project for irrigation of 1,SS3,000 acres Of land in south central Washington will have it's culmination in the present session of congress, when bill to grant federal authoriza- tion of the Columbia Basin irri- gation project is introduced by members of the congressional delegation of the state.
 During the period since tho state of Washington took up the project. which originally came to the attention Of the government more than a quarter of century ago during the Roosevelt admir- istration, appropriations of $150.- GOO have been made by the Wash ington legislature for preliminary investigation and organization work, and a like sum has been set aside by congress for similar purposes.
 The campaign, waged in large part by the Columbia Basin Irrl- gation league, volunteer organi- zation with members from Wash ington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon- tana, reached it's highest inten- sity during the last year, when many prominent officials inspect ed parts of it. These included Herbert Hoover, secretary of cora- merce; Speaker Nicholas Long. worth, William Green, president of the American Federation of La bor: Elwood Mead. commissioner of reclamation of the interior de- partment, and members of tue senate and house committees ol reclamation and irrigation.
 The proposal contemplates the storage of water in Flathead lake, in Montana, and Lake Pend Oreille. Idaho. It would be caf- ried through canals, tunnels ant natural water courses for l3f miles to the semi-arid land. It .s estimated that the completed pro ject will provide homes for 25,oo9 families.

 Death missed a Seattle newsboy by narrow margin when Hich- man walked a Seattle street. ac- cording to the story said to have been told by him to local officers. The newsie was the first person to recognize him after he made his escape from Los Angeles. Hickman said.
 He stopped a newsboy on a Se- attle street to buy paper. On the first page was Hickman's pie ture. As he handed it to him he stared hard at Hickman, then glanced back at the picture. The kidnapper took it and strode oif down the street. Realizing that the boy was suspicious, he looked back at the end of the first block and saw that he was apparently following him. A second block and the lad was still in pursuit. q determined then if he was still following me when l lookesi again, would shoot him cold, Hickman is said to have told the officers. But when he turned i'll the third block, the boy had dis appeared. Hickman also told how he hal gone to a moving picture show in Seattle, buying his ticket With one of the bills paid him by ne father of the kidnapped and mur- i dered child.

North Dakota Annual
Livestock Report

Total valuation Of milk cows on
hand January l, 1927 is practically
the same as year ago when there
was an increase of more than
100000 worth of milk stock over
1925. according to the annual live
stock report of Paul c. Newman, ag-
ricuiturai statlstician for North Da-
kota. Total value Of North Dakota
livestock on farms January l, 1927,
shows a decrease of $6,383,00O from
that of year ago. Decreased total
valuation Of horses is the principal
item of decrease, though valuation of
all cattle shows a marked slump.
Total valuation Of swine and sheep
also decreased.
Average price of all work stock in
North Dakota. decreased during the
year. Sheep prices also show u de-
crease. Average price of hogs re-
mains the same and average cattle
price advanced.
The decreased valuation is mainly
due to decreased numbers of farms
following the poor crop season Of
1926. The number of all cattle de-
creased $4,000 head, hogs 47,O00,
milk cows $4,000 and horses $4,000.
Sheep numbers increased 10000 head,
according to the report. Horse num-
bers in North Dakota continue to
show steady decrease and sheep
progressive and much more rapid in
crease though the relative increase
during 1926 was less than in the pre-
eeding year. Cattle and hogs were
more directly affected by the poor
crop season and shipments during
the closing months Of 1926 were the
heaviest in the case of cattle that
has been experienced for several
