and badness may follow, and usually do.
At the first symptom of trouble, the fight
against loose dandruf should begin. Consider
Listerine's effectiveness against this condition.
Why LiSterine succeeds
If infection is present on the surface of the
skin, Listerine attacks it. A powerful germi-
cide it kills bacteria in IS seconds. The fastest
killing time accurately recorded by science.
Listerine helps to dissolve oily crusts and
quickly removes them, as we'll as horny scales.
And Listerine quickly relieves that burning,

Your Hea alth
And Diet
By DIR. Logan Clendening

It is comforting for the head
ache victim to know that very
few cases of chronic headache
are serious, in the sense that
they indicate deep-seated bodily
disease. Most of them are nerV-
Gus or reflex or constitutional
Gin the form of migraine).
In the study of large series
of chronic headaches only a lit
tie over 2 per cent were due to
such organic diseases as high
blood pressure, kidney disease,
OF brain. tumour. That is, only
about two people out of a hun
dred who have chronic head
ache have their health seriously
affected.
Hard to Explain
Escape headaches are very
frequent. 1t is not easy to ex-
plain their mechanism, and the
patient always resents and de-
MES the diagnosis. Put BADLY.
some people find that they can
get out of many disagreeable
things in life by having a head
ache. The habit may come on
quite early in life. Johnny
cannot do his algebra lesson be-
cause he has such headache.
He is taken to an oculist and
fitted with glasses, and even so'
he still has a headache when
the algebra lesson looms.
The prospect of the movies
does not make his headache
worse, and he can read some
thing else but the algebra book;
but algebra and headache go
together. If Johnny's parents
are unwise and over indulgent
they will let him off OF his
algebra. Then the headaches
will disappear. But the me-
mory of their success remains
in Johnn's mind. And before
long he will have a headache
whenever he has to do some
thing he doesn't want to do,
and the habit of having
headache will become lifelong.
The Revenge Headache
That is the way in which
some of these headaches which
appear so mysterious in after
life begin and grow.
Another similar kind OF head
ache is the revenge headache.
Her husband won't buy her a
new dress, so she has a good
roaring headache to make him
sorry. She doesn't say that is
the reasoA she has it, she would
resent it Indignantly if accused,
she probably doesn't even know
THAI is why she has IL, but if
her life is unraveled it is there
just the same. One day when
she was a little girl, her par
ents wouldn't let her go to
party. so she had such a head
ache from the disappointment
that they let her go. She sub
consciously found her head
aches got her what she wanted,
so she kept on having them.
The Washington times., 1931-06-18

and of death. My bow to the
world, my tribute to it, my hope
for it's betterment, my bow out
of it. My sighs for it's defects,
my hope for its future. MY
hope my child. My faith in
her. Listen" he said, and be-
gan to read.
When Grafton was moved by
a scene he was writing, espe-
cially in those earlier years be-
fore his Tragedy of Laughter"
had been written, he always
complained of the physical dis
comfort he experienced while
at work. His ears rang. A
curiou; little elevator of hunger
seemed to ride up and down
the pit of his stomach. His
tonsils wanted to burst and his
ears became bright, polished
pink. Jennifer once wrote OF
him in monograph: cou!o
tell how the work on Tragedy
of Laughter vas coming by the
color of his ears"
In addition now to those
roaring symptoms, Grafton,
after Rarick had completed his
reading, had a horrible fear he
was going to cry. Not tears,
but some brute noises. The
sound of an emotion Scraplng
bottom, as the soul of the man
who had just read had scraped
bottom.
There, in a nutshell, is some
of the wisdom I have tried to
squeeze out of my defeat, Grat-
ton. Not much Of a job to a
