Simple Frontal Sinusitis.

Acute frontal sinusitis Is common
complication Of acute coryZa, and in
most cases the patient doesn't know he
has it. The only way it manifests it
self, perhaps. is in pain or ache in the
brow on one side, and this is made
worse by coughing, by leaning or bend
ing the head forward, by blowing the
nose or by taking stimulants. Often it
amounts to merely sense of fullnesS or
weight in the forehead or between the
eyes. Sometimes there is greater con-
gestion of the eye on the affected side,
or sensitiveness to light, or flow Of
tears. But what Of it, anyhow, since
the best treatment is the same as for
the coryza the sinusitis complexities?
Nothing, only that the occurrence OF
these symptoms should serve as warn
ing to take proper care of the coryZa.
And what does that imply? oh, get
ting into bed and staying there at least
"a hours, the while on revels in hot
mustard foot bath and maybe a light
and not too nutritious diet and lot
erage, hot or cold, as one prefers.
It is chronic frontal sinuSitis that
calls for special treatment. Select q
few Of the symptoms Of the acute form,
have them over a period of weeks or
months, and you may call your trouble
chronic. Especially If you notice at ir-
regular intervals a sudden discharge of
considerable mucus attended with sud-
den relief Of the discomfort or pain in
the head.
Doctors have the habit Of refer
ring to these sinuses or air spaces in
the skull as accessory" sinuses. Even
If thew are acreSSoPv whv insist IN il en-
much? In the automobile business they
call all kinds of gadgetS accessories. u
Do the doctors mean to imply that the
sinuses are Of no actual use? What
ever they mean, I reckon everybody
would understand what they're talking
about II they were to omit the acces-
sorry part. Just sinuses would be per-
fectly clear.
suspect the doctors like to ron that
word accessory" on the tongue when
referring to the sinus for the good old
reaSon-to bemuse the patient so he
won't ask too many questions. You see,

February Z, 1S6O.-"Rivalries and
lealousles" Of different interests in the
DlStrlct OF Columbia are embarrassing
the plans Tor proposed railroad con-
necC!on between Baltimore and the
South and the Southwest, according to
the Baltimore American, which is
quoteo on this subject here today by
Cne Natlonal 1ntelligencer and The Eve
Some influential persons in the Dis
Grlct are urging that the crossing Of the
Potomac River be made at the Long
Bridge and others are advocating that
the bridge be built at the head of tide
water at Georgetown.
10 avoid the squabbles of the
Georgetown and Long Bridge parties
and the tardy action Of Congress in the
matter OF providing for a railroad
bridge across the Potomac, SO that there
might be no breaking of bulk freight or
change OF conveyances for passengers"
the american suggests the policy of CIV
nlg the District a wide berth by the
construction of track from Bladens-
turg TO point opposite Alexandria,
Wnere the Potomac could be crossed in
boats, like the Susquehanna River at
Havre de Grace.
The 1ntelligencer comments that at
would, indeed, be pity If the rivalries
and Jealousies" here should lead to a
diversion OF the road from the District
altogether.
I'VE may remark, however" the In
telligencer proceeds, that the sugges-
ton OF the American would not entirely
provide against the breaking of bulk
freight and. the change of conveyance
for passengers, which are stated to be
the leading objects for which the con-
nection is desired at ALL"
One OF the political rumors that was
current at the Capitol today, and which
was sent to many newspapers through
out the country, was that Senator
Seward of New York, in accordance
with alleged plans by Republican mem
bers of Congress and other leading poll
ticians of that party, will virtually de-
cline the Republican nomination for
President this year and content him
self with the post of Minister to Eng

Now, we have to say there is not a
Scintilla of truth in this wonder of the

THE truth is, Mr.. Seward is the Re-

all its ideas and principles as he lays

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER,

One reason, and potent one, why we
often let letters go unanswered is that
we have no convenient writing mate
rails comfortably at hand.
If such writing materials are where
we can get them without trouble, il they
are always in order and are attractively
arranged, we are far more likely to
keep up with our correspondence than
II We have to get the ink bottle from
the china closet, the note paper from
the top dressing table drawer and the
blotter and pen from the music cabinet.
There are doubtless some inveterate
letter writers who are not deferred from
writing letters by this sort Of incon-
venience. But most of us are of far
weaker stuff, and our good resolutions
about writing to our faVorite aunt melt
away at the thought Of assembling in
convenient writing things.
A family desk may supply the place
for writing letters for all the family.
There should be rule-ironclad-tha
every one who uses it shall leave it in
order. The duty Of keeping 1t stocked
should be assumed by the mother, and
she should see that stamps and ink,
pens, paper and envelopes are always on
hand-With blotting paper, too.

When you worry, you follow the line of
least resistance In your thoughts. Some
thing has come up that hurts your
pride, makes nroads into your purse,
upsetS the smooth running of the
household or ruffles the temper of those
in the home. Or 1t may be that illness
causes worry, untruths mar serenity or
any one Of hundreds of things bring
about the state of mind in which
worry prospers.
Let us suppose that some one of these
tnlngS is giving rise to worries. Cast
ing aside anger and annoyance as sep
arate from worries, as they are, al
though they influence them, face the
trouble and see how you can gain the
mastery OF 1t. Such an attitude is help
ful rather than harmful. The minute
That you face a trouble you put it in
the corner. Your mastery has begun.
You see just what it is and then can
discover what to do.
Since worry Is an inactive trouble, a
state of mind, action scatters it, pro-
personally and with the determination
to conquer it.
Just what this action should be is de-
term1ned by the trouble. It may be
some act is necessary that concerns
Others, some work. some proceedings,
some transactions that change the state
OF affairs by visible and physical pro-
cedure.
But it Is just as likely that you will
md what Is needed is mental action,
that you have to conquer your thoughts
to gain freedom from worries and peace
Of mind. This is not gained by letting
things CO." Even when what is needed
Is relaxation and thinking of pleasant
things, you will find at first that it re-
quires persistent effort to drive away
the worrying subject from your mind
and replace it with happy thoughts.
This is an active measure, therefore,
and keeps you mentally busy. 1t is the
sort of action that pays a thousand
fold. Try it and see.
One reason why worry is so pernicious
Is that it influences judgment. Unwise
actions follow. You do not see things
straight. How can you act wisely when
your mind is in such confusion? From
this 1t will be seen that worry is not
confined to the area Of ones mind. It
may upset your actions, so that by your
biased viewpoint you do the wrong
things, sometimes prolonging indefinitely
the very causes for worry that you
would stop. Conquer worries or they
will conquer you. Get the mastery and
win, for health and happiness depend
upon your success.

Unhappy Wives of Famous Men
Josephine Loved Napoleon Most After He
Cast Her Of,
BY J. r. GLASS.

BY J. r. GLASS.

The Empress Josephine had a pre-
sentiment Of her fate. But this did not
soften the blow when on November 80,
1909, Napoleon informed her of his pur-
pose to arrange a divorce.
They were at Fontatnebleau. Josephine
spent the morning weeping alone In her
chamber. Napoleon meantime pondered
gloomily in his cabinet. One thought
required to both-if only Josephine had
given the Emperor an heir!
At the dinner table they sat in 81
lence, their glanceS averted, scarcely
tasting the viands attendants placed
before them.
At last they were left alone. Napoleon
arose, closed the door, and came back
to the Empress, his set face pale. He
took her hand, placed it upon his heart,
and gave word to his determination
OF happiness have had IN this world, i"
stronger than my will. My affections
must yield to the welfare of France"
Josephine had hesitated to marry
Napoleon. AS his wife she had been at
first cold and uncomplaisant. But the
years had brought such glamours of
existence as she could not have i'm
agined. AS the author Of her glory,
Napoleon had won from her as much
love as her nature then permitted. She
was unable to accept his view of di-
vorce aS great state measure, in which
he and she sacrificed their feelings for
the good of the country. It was to her
a disgrace and a punishment. SO now
she tainted.
Napoleon rushed to the door and
called for assistance. The Count de
Beaumont came. He and the Emperor
carried the Empress upstairs to her
apartment. Reviving as they bore her
along, she murmured:
"Oh, no, no! You cannot do it!
You surely would not kill mel"
The separation was made formally
on December Is, 1909, In the grand
salon of the Tuilleries. In the presence
Of the whole imperial family and the
high officers of the empire. Napoleon
made a brief address in Justification of
the divorce. He pledged that Josephine
should remain Empress and the eternal
recipient of his affection.
Josephine was supposed to read a
paper of acQuieScence. But uncontrol-
liable SobS shook her. She handed the
paper to M. Reynaud, and, sinking into
a chair, buried her face in her hand
kerchief.
Only a short time elapsed when
Josephine, in retirement at Navarro,
heard the ringing Of bells and the firing
OF cannon. announcing Eapoleons mar
rage to Maria Louisa of Austria. She
was still Empress, she was the mistress
OF three palaces, she had an income of
100000 francs, and the Emperor con-
tinued to look after her comfort and

Fashions of Today
BY MARIE sHALMAR,
Hats Need Care.

It is not only the wear that hat re-
ceives that makes 1t lose Its freshness
and shape. It Is the way the hat is
treated when 1t Is not in use that has
q good deal to do with this.
Velvet hats need particular care and
well repay you for the care you give
them. The old-faShioned way was to
have o piece Of heavy black mourning
crepe with which to rub OF the dust
from velvet, but a velvet brush is easier
to handle. A heavy, coarse brush
should never be used on velvet. The
best time to brush dust from velvet is
after you have worn the hat, unless it
Is damp or spotted with rain. Then you
should not use a brush until it has been
thoroughly dried.
It is hard in limited quarters to give
your hats the right place to repose
when not in use, unless you are content
to get along with but one or two hats
a season. Ideally each hat should have
a box Of its own, and even your ordinary
hats should be boxed when not in use.
Hats that have trimming of the down
dropping variety should not be laid fat
In q box, but should rest on a little hat
block-anything in fact, that will raise
the brim somewhat from the bottom of
the box.
A piece Of china silk-an old silk
handkerchief is goods useful in car
ing for hats. Any trimming or orna-
ments may be carefully busted with this
silk.

The mystery Of who married who
in Toledo, o., Sept. u. 1929, which
seems to be one of the principal
complications in the suit of Mrs.
Ethel Williams Henley VS.. Manford
Grant Henley, acknowledgement of
Indiana, continued merrily today.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Hen
ley, in petition filed Tuesday for
a tWo-year separation, charged that
the acknowledgement had been
guilty of "cruel and inhuman treat
ment'' and other things, and asked
for $1,000 and $500 attorneys fees.
She alleged she had been married
to General Henley in Toledo, Sept
II, 1929 Henley, when the matter
was brought to his attention, as
serted that the action was wholly
unfounded" and that he was mot
married"
Today Mrs. Henley, still quite vo-
cal on the subject of the marriage
and its denouement, was en- route to
Toledo and Detroit, with the an
nounced intention of gathering more
documentary proof for her side.
Henley, smiling ensconced behind
his desk in the statehouse, still re-
buffed all inquisitors with his orig
inal statement that he had nothing
to say.
Meanwhile a photostatic copy of
the marriage records for that date
in Toledo revealed additional facts
regarding the issuance of the license
inquestion and the ceremony which
followed it.
The Grant Henley who signed
