Daily Health
Service
By DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and of Hygeta.

the Health Magazine
In a recent textbook on the dag
nosis of disease, at least twelve large
pages were occupied with the discus
sion Of causes of headache. The
causes are apparently direct, such as
those due to the absorption Of poisons
due to changes in the circulation and
those due to condiions in the tis-
sues Immediately surrounding the
brain, or reflex causes related to
disturbances far removed In the body
from the brain itself.
Among the most constant causes
of headache are difficulties of vision,
particularly eyestrain. In headache
slowly or rapidly, and may occur in
any part of the head. When one eye
is more affected than the other. the
distribution of the pain may be re-
lated to that fact.
Among the most frequent causes of
headache resulting from eycstrain is
astigmatism or farsightedness, but
weaknesses Of the eye muscles may
result in difficulties of accommod a-
| ton and subsequent headache. A
competent specialist in diseases Of the
eye may determine the difficulties of
accomm odation and by the prescribing
of proper glasses overcome the SYM
ptOm.
Sometimes the headache resulting
from eyestrain is a reflex headach he
and is associated with symptoms else
where in the body. also brought about
by the difficulty with the eyes. The
,, patient may be nauseatcd; overtired,
mentally or physically, or continually
disturbed.
1t is obviously not wise policy
to attempt to relieve such head
aches by the giving of scdativc or
narcotic drugs. Recently, aspirin has
become the mainstay of large num-
Der of people who "urchase a head
ache cure rather than attempt to find
out the cause of the headache and to
| remove it..
In many instances proper personal
hygiene, including simple and a
well balanced diet proper regulation
of the bowels and a proper relation
, sh;> of outdoor exercise and rest. will
do much to completely eliminate head
aches, particularly if it has been
determined that the headaches do not
result from an ocular defect.

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL. THEATRE


THE most romantic period in the
history of the United States is de-
picted in Tim McCoy's California -
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer's new histori-
cal Western film drama comedy to
the Capitol Theatre for tomorrow,
Friday and Saturday.
Tim Mccoy, who was starred in
Winners Of the Wilderness" and
"War Paint" is seen in the stellar
role of this powerful story of ro-
nance. drama and action which
Peter B. Kyne wrote especially for
this production.
Many of the most celebrated char
acters Of American history ut that
period have been characterized in
the story. They are: Captain
Gillespie, u. 8. M. c., President
Polk, Captain, Fremont, Kit Carson,
General Kearney, Pho Pico and
others.
The story embraces all the vivid
ness and color Of the period when
California was a series of great
baronial estates granted by the kings
OF Spain to their favorites. It was
the period just before the discovery
OF gold-the time when Americans
were flowing into the country from
around the Horn or across the over
land trails.

PLAZA THEATRE IS
UNDERGOING REPAIRS
Many Improvements / Have Been
Made-NeW Organ Will Be Installed

The Milford Theatre Company is
rapidly finishing the extensive re-
pairs in the Plaza Theatre, which
will make this theatre a show house
of which Delaware should be proud.
The roof is now completed and is in
the best possible condition. The in
stallation on the new heating system
with ventilation is now ready for
operation. This will insure comfort
for the patrons. The theatre is now
being redecorated and repainted.
The owners hope to have this work
completed in the near future.
The new organ for the theatre has
been shipped and will arrive in Mil
ford in about 30 days. This is the
only organ of it's kind in this Sec
ton and it will add much to the at
traction of this theatre. It will re-
quire three weeks for the building
of this organ in the Plaza, and the
management hopes to have it play
ing by the holidays.
The repairs are not stopping the
fine run of shows that are being
given nightly.
The Plaza Theatre is not only an
asset for Milford but for all lower
Delaware, and the effort Of the new
company to give this section the
best amusement house south of Will
mington should be encouraged by
Milford citizens.

FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE
AT LINCOLN SATURDAY
Sixth Blaze Since March ArOuses
Citizens To Fear OF "Fire Bug"

The Carlisle Fire Company was
summoned to Lincoln City again
last Saturday night for the sixth
fire since March. This time the
burning of a dwelling, the property
of Charles Shockley of PHILADELPHIA.
had made such progress, that the
fire company could be of little avail
but to prevent the fire from spread
ing. The building was burned TO
the ground and was total loss to
the owner. Wallace Shockley had
been occupying the house until two
days previous when he had moved
to a farm. The origin of this fire
was unknown, and the residents of
Lincoln are fearing a fire bug is
operating in their town, since sever
al of the many recent fires are of
suspicious origin. For instance. the
basket plant, known as the Smith
Manufacturing Company, which had
not been in operation for some years
and which burned so mysteriously
awhile ago. Then there was the
strage garage of William Truitt
which burned when no one had been
around the building for some time.
And now this vacant house. It NAV
be coincidence, but some of the Lin
coin people have been aroused to fe-
yer heat.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
FOR TEACHERS MEET
Many Able Speakers Will Address
Instructors On Topics Of Cur
rent Interest.

The State Education Association
will meet in Milford on November
10 and II. The two-day session is
organized of general meetings which
are held both mornings in the Plaza
Theatre at Milford, and the after
moons are taken up with sectional
meetings where demonstration work
is done by capable demonstrators
from the class rooms throughout
the State, including the city of Will
mington, Tower Hill, Friends ScnooI
and from the teachers training de-
partment of the University of Della
ware.
The morning sessions: Thursday
DR.. H. V. Holloway, State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction. Sub
ject, Eve" Greeting: Supt. David
A. Ward, Wilmington High School.
Greeting: DR.. Walter Hullihen, Pre-
sident University of Delaware. Adj
dress: DR.. H. L. Miller, Associate
Professor of Education, University
of Wisconsin.
DR.. Miller is teacher, lecturer and
writer, having written a number of
books on education. His latest and
perhaps best is Creative Teaching
and Thinking" in which he tries to
inspire the classroom teacher to see
that the task is not only to instruct
the mind to grasp the experiences
of others in this life, but that the
schools must produce a reasonable
number of creative minds. The me-
thod set forth is a vitalizing synthe-
sis of processes and materials of
education in which challenges are
initiated, hypothesis or ideals cast
up, "doable" things presented, a
begun, a redefining of
purpose and hypothesis started by
using information, data, facts. It is
not a method superimposed upon
subject matter. Methods and ma
terials come to a unity when the
student becomes an activity of the
agent in that process"
DR.. Miller is being brought to the
State at considerable expense to the
association for the purpose of try
ing to learn from him first-hand
this new challenge that he is giving
to the profession.
The second speaker is to be Dean
Will Grant Chambers, Dean of Penn
sylvania State College, who talks on
Facing the Facts in Education" On
evening, the Milford Fire
men will serve a banquet to the as
ISOLATION in the new Community
at which time DR.. Miller
will again speak on "The Challenge
of Democracy to Education" DR..

PAY 100000 FOR
DOVER GAS PLANT
Former Senator Richardson Dis
poses of Capitol City Holdings.

The sale of the plant Of the Dover
Gas Light Company to the Chester
town, Md, Electric Light Company
was consummated this week.
Negotiations had been on since
August, but the Chestertown people
did not desire to buy stock of the
company unless they could secure
all of the stock, and November 1
was fixed as the time for obtaining
the entire capital stock.
The amount paid for the COM
pany was 100000. 1t is understood
that a number of improvements will
be made and that there will be few
changes made in the working rofce
of the company. The Dover Gas
Light Company was largely owned
by former United States Senator
Harry A. Richardson. It has been
owned by the Richardson family
for number of years, though
there have always been a few
other small stockholders.
The company only controls the
gas lighting business in Dover.
The electric light and water plant
which supply the town are owned
by the town.
