By DR.. Logan Clendening

Headache is one of the COM
moneSt of human complaints.
This is not surprising consider
ing all the things there are in
the head to go wrong-compl-
Gated structures like the eye
and the ear, ramifying sur
faces to be infected like the
nose and its sinuses, as well as
nerves, muscles, tendons and
bones. Most important of all
the mechanical factors is the
rigid immovable bony skull,
containing a compressible organ
like the brain and it's surround
ing fluid. If the fluid increases,
or the brain begins to swell,
there is no place for the swell
ing to expand-the bones Of
the skull have no give. The
resulting tension inside the
skull is bound to cause head
ache.
Treatment Is Not Simple
The treatment of headache,
because of these complexities,
is not simple. And it is by no
means always successful. The
consumption of headache RENE
dies is second only in volume
to the conSumption of cathar-
tics. They usually give only
temporary relief and thus have
to be repeated and often lead
to a dangerous drugging habit.
This is especially true of head
ache powders which contain a
drug called acetanilid, which
when taken over long periods
of time causes changes in the
blood, the patients lips and
skin turning blush. with other
general bodily changes.
Must Find the Cause
The object of every physi-
clans investigation of a head
ache is to find the cause. A
gentleman of my acquaintance
who still clings to the doctrine
of homeopathy occasionally ar
CUES with me on the subject
and almost. inevitably he brings
up a headache remedy by which
he lays great store. When in
proclaiming the virtues of his
homeopathic medicine he asks
me what my treatment for
headache is. I always answer,
1T depends on the cause" This
makes my homeopathic friend
very angry but it must be evi-
dent that the treatment of a
headache that comes from eyes
that need glasses is very differ
ent from the treatment of a
headache which comes from in
fected sinuses of the nose.

"Oh, don't pity me, father.
That way. Don't. Don't. It's

worry about me. I'm not go
ing in for martyrdom. I'm not
going to withdraw from the

If the death Of Jenny, leaving

There was no surprise in her

such a hypothetical question.

Her Coarse Profanity

A Horrible Thing

A Horrible Thing
Its a morgue. It's a tomb.
It's a mausoleum. I hate it,"
Then what?" he said, with
his chin touching his shirt
front and his eyes up at her.
Then what? Anything.
Take me to-to Korea-Abys-
sinia-at least they are des-
tinations."
He regarded her slowly, as if
he could not have done marvel
ing that she had no wisdom.
She had been away twice that
winter. First to Paris, Scut-
ting home after a month,
full of what she called the
French heebie-jeebies.
Later on, there was a yacht

Rarick's impulse, when He'll

amounting to $4,000 for this

to discipline her by radical way
of refusal, under threat of pub

such future expenditures!
But when the time came for
him to take up with her the
matter Of what he regarded as
wanton and cruel waste, she

and tortured, and something

A Frightened Look
There was a wild kind of dis.
tress about Jennifer, these
days.
She had the look of a per-
son who wants to rip open his
collar for more air. She had
the rolling look to her eye of
someone frightened. The dis
agreeable thought smote Rarick
that almost anything might
happen to a girl that taut.
What hurts you, Jennifer? he
wanted to say to her. Tell me
where the trouble lies?
She could not have told. He
realized that. It is possible
that he himself could have an

Grafton, whom she was seeing
on fitful occasions. II can't
seem to get out of it, chiefly
because I can't seem to want to
get out. Isn't it strange, Graft?
I know I'm in hell, but can't
want sufficiently to climb out.
How do you make that out?"
"Stop trying to make your
self out. Jennifer." he had
replied. That's your trouble,
perhaps"
Nothing Could Matter
Il hate you," she had replied
to that, and walked out of his
room. He did not follow.
Waiting on the threshold out
side his door for a moment, it
had seemed to her that moth

matter so much as his follow

hand and tuck his into it.
He, too, stood waiting on

WOmen-an0 EnCnanVmeuG
Every woman goes through
life looking for enchantment.
Every woman wants to dra-
Matte herself, her life, her
love affairs-and even her hus-
band.
That is what makes her do
all the foolish things and all
the sublime things, which
frigilten, annoy or amaze mer
and keep them wondering about
her.
To a man, life, lC7e and
women are just facts. To a
woman, life is a play, love the
third act, and the leading man
of the moment is the "hero."
That is why man never can
understand woman.
When a woman feels like
staging a romantic scene, she
doesn't wait for Prince Charm
ing to arrive; she picks out
the nearest personable man
and drapes her illusions on
him, dramatizes him, and
splashes her sentiment all over
him. Many a perfectly unsus-
pecting man has been aston
iShed to be rushed off his feet,
propped up on pedestal,
handed a halo, and "emoted"
over.
Eut, if 3 woman we're not
gifted with beautiful illusions,
she could never visualize the
blunderiilg, incoherent creature
in tweeds and a stiff collar,
who CareSSeS her with one hand
wh--e he runs his car with the
other, as the romantic Adonis
of her dreams.
It's her search for enchant-
ment, her imagination and her
illusions that sustain woman
all through this sordid, com.
monplace life, and make it
bearable for her.
She parts with her illusions
as reluctantly as she does with
her teeth, one by one, resorting
to all sorts of devices to retain
each to the last moment.
The most tragic moment in
her life is that in which she
takes off her rose-colored
glasses and looks at life and
her lover through the painful
clarity of her bi-focals.
A man, on the other hand, is
much more comfortable when
he has gotten rid of his illu-
sions. When he finds that it
is time to give them up, he
philosophically ''has 'em, ALL
OUT-and lets it go at that!
BY the time a man has

enough to worry him, what
with his business, his neuritis,
his speculations, his reducing
diet and his golf score, without
wishing for any illusions to
complicate matters.
But many a woman spends
half her Indian Summer HUNT
ING for her vanished illusions,
and trying to stage a beautiful
'last act" for. the drama of
Youth, before the curtain goes
down.
For a woman knows that she
is old, indeed. when her last
illusion has been burned out
and her last love affair has
faded out. If she has never
found her Isle of Enchantment
by then she feels that she has
never really LIVED!
