Large safety-pins are useful

Slip on the buttons, hooks and

The Merry-so
Round
By Helen Rowland

Love A.Ia.M0dc
The average man seldom
turns from the primrose path
until the scenery along the way
has begun to bore him with it's
monotony.
When a girl speaks glowingly
of perfect mutual under
standing" she means that SHE
understands how to make the
man THINK that he under
stands her.
Don't marry a girl merely be-
cause she is the kind who
would get up at 6 o'clock and
cook your breakfast for you;
wait until you find one who
would cheerfully wait UP until
8<o'clock and warm over your
dinner for you.
The average girl is some
thing halfway between the angel
her mother paints her, and the
designing little hussy. or the
empty headed featherweight
that her prospective mother
in-law thinks her.
Even the most fascinating of
women, like any other stimu-
liant, ceases to have that ex-
hilarating effect on a mans
pulse after her kisses have be-
come a daily habit.
Offer a man friendship, ad-
venture, hate or indifference,
and he will cheerfully swallow
them; but, somehow, sentiment
from a woman seems to choke
him after the first few tastes.
The modern girl scorns and
pities the harem-woman: but,
alas, she herself, is only zone
of a crowd" in the average
mans life, these days.
It is amazing how much
money a man. who cant af-
ford to marry" the right girl,
can find to squander on the
other kind.
Somehow a man never be-
comes so cynical that he won't
believe any sweet, young thing
who tells him that she loves
him, in spite of his bald spot,
his avoirdupoiS-and all his
money.
Sometimes a woman clings to
her husband merely because he
is all in the world that stands
between her and the boredom

Your Health
And Diet
By DIR. Logan CIendening

Besides classifying headaches
as being caused by many diff
ferent structures and tissues IN
the head, they may be. acute
and sudden, or chronic or oc-
casional.
A person who seldom has a
headache may experience one
at the beginning Of an infec-
ton. Indeed, one of the COM
monest danger signals the body
flies is a headache. It is a
good thing, a warning that
something is wrong. that you
should go to bed and call a
doctor. Thus typhoid fever is
frequently ushered in by a
headache, as is a less serious
disease, tonsilitis.
A Serious Symptom
Children rarely complain of
headache, and the symptom is
always more serious in children
than in adults. It nearly al
ways means the onset Of some
infectious or contagious disease,
such as measles, scarlet fever
or diphtheria. A less frequent
disease, meningitis, is charac-
terized by a very severe mead
ache; this is natural, since the
disease itself consists of an in.
flammation of the lining mem
brane of the brain, inside the
skull, and such Inflammation
and the consequent swelling
causes pressure on the rigid
bony skull. resulting in head
ache. a
The successful treatment of
many Of these diseases causing
headache in children depends
upon prompt DIAGNOSIS and skill
full treatment, and for this rea-
son a headache in a child
should always be the signal for
prompt action.
Chronic headaches in a child
are always of more serious i'm.
port than headaches in an
adult.
The Deserved Headache
Another form of acute head
ache is what I call the de-
served headache. The patient
has done something to cause
the Asadache and richly de-
serves it. A familiar example
of this in past times was the
morning after headache, the re-
suit of alcoholic excess the
night before.
But it is not always diSsipa-
tion that brings these deserved
headaches. Excess of any kind
resulting in fatigue causes tired
nature to fly it's warning signal
of a headache. A business man
forced by some crisis to work
hard and late-on his nerve,
as the saying isis, as every
one knows, bound to have what
he calls a splitting headache
sooner or later. A woman get
ting ready for a party she is
going to give usually ends up
the day after the party with
the same thing.
The Shopping Headache
Doctor Sansum in California
describes what he calls the
shopping headache. He thinks
it is due to lack Of enough nu-
trition-a woman goes down
town without breakfast or with
out enough breakfast, ruShes
around for several hours and
comes home exhausted with a
hea, !ache - an acidoSiS head
ache, according to the doctor.
His remedy is to drink enough

There are the wages you receive,

your check still goes and does not

have been used to buying what you
fancied and then if you ran short
well, charge it. Necessities were
charged so that luxuries could be
obtained and the merchants allow
ed it until they at last have woke
up. Now the charge system has
been replaced by the installment
plan which is practically as bad or
worse in some instances. Then you
used to charge what you had to
