MANY young, good-looking
women who have visited my Of
flee this winter have startled
me by exclaiming, "My sinuses
are killing mel" All dolled up
for business or society errands.
no one would expect they had a
thing wrong with them. But
when they have told the tale of
their miseries, you are sure
there must be a cause of such
distress.
Sinus trouble is probably
much more common than for
merly. That would naturally
follow repeated epidemics of
grippe and influenza. Added to
those definite infections, the
fact that factories have multi
piled; people live in more crowd
ed conditions; that we are in
too big a hurry to keep the
respiratory tract c'ra by anti
septic washes. HNrc we have
the perfect set up FIR additional
caens Of sinus trouble.
Besides, think back and try
to recall the number of people
who complained of face-ache.
neuralgia. frontal headache, and
similar distresses. years ago
and see if you cannot count up
about as many cases as we hear
Of today which undoubtedly
were of sinus origin.
Years ago we didn't know
that we had eight of those
lm-harboring cavities = four
pairs of potential recruiting
stations for the battalions of
trouble makers. One pair is
called the frontal sinuses and
are placed above the eyes.
Another pair below the eyes
is called the maxillary sinuses
which seem often to be the
source of the peculiar neuralgia
pain which threatens to grind
off the front of our faces. This
pain is perhaps the most IA
miliar of the different forms Of
pain from the sinuses.
Another pair straddles the

space behind and between the
eyeballs. Often it isn't the eyes
that pain but an infiamed and
irritated condition of these eth
mold sinuses.
Still another pair, known as
the sphenoids, are down behind
the line of the nostrils and at
the base Of the brain. Did you
ever press your hand hard
against the upper back Of your
neck and hang your head back
to rest some aching spot that
feels as if you would like to
empty it out and ease the press
ing tension? Well, there is,
under your hand as you hold it
there, another pair of cavities
in the bone structures which we
call sinuses. These sinuses too
may cause trouble.
That is what a sinus is, hole
in the skeleton, a followed out
air space which looks perfectly
innocent and is so until in the
process Of other discharges and
secretions in the systems, some
of them stop in this cavity and
stay there until they have at
tracted or caught other secre-
tions which eventually clog and
obstruct the normal flow of the
fluids of the system.
One wonders why sinus cavi-
ties were ever conceived but we
learn from physiology that once
the olfactory nerves had en-
tensions which filed most of
the maXillary space.
Your great grand-dad has
probably told you that in his
day he could predict the wealth
er by the smell of the air; he
could sense directions, kinds of
vegetation or of forestation.

course, the approach of ami
mails. He depended on his sense
of smell to direct him in many
of his daily pursuits and thus
the additional space was needed
for the nerves of smell.
AS other means of determin-
ing all these facts developed,
the need for the olfactory sense
decreased and finally the cavity
was bereft Of an unused system.
Nature has that way Of dispos-
ing of any unused apparatus.
These maxillary sinuses still
serve to modulate the singing
and speaking voice, but at the
same time they are practically
useless until some eXcretion or
abnormal discharge lodges
there.
1t will be many generations
before humans will be born
without these potential sources
of misery. While the frontal
sinus is probably the seat of
the most acute of our sinus suf-
fering, the maxillary sinus
seems to be the seat of more
infection than any other. The
chief trouble with these sinuses
is that they fail to drain proper
ly because the floors are lower
than the openings. Of course, if
we still ran on all fours with
our heads hanging toward the
ground. the drainage would be
naturally to the outside. Nature
does the best she can by provid-
ing us with crop of delicate
hair-like processes called ella
which cover the mucous mem
brane of the entire cavity. These
ella continually wave to and
fro and tend to encourage the
secretions to move toward the
natural opening of the nose.
So far, so good; but the story
is different when these ella get
clogged up during a cold. The
secretions begin to accumulate,
the membranes become infiam-
ed, the outlet is clogged, and
there is the ideal condition

which not only invites bacteria
but stimulates their develop

The distressing rhinitis, or
weeping cold discharge which
we usually call a head-cold is
an extension of the inflamma-
tion which starts in the nose.
We are very proud of our
selves when we can "break up
a cold" quickly and we say that
colds do not bother us. The fact
is that if a cold does not yield
promptly to treatment, it is be-
cause the trouble is extending
into the other sinuses and the
accumulated discharge and lack
of drainage only multiply the
effect of the bacterial invasion
and the consequent damage
done to the tissues.

Federal Home Loan Bank
Cites Four-Year Trend
After Survey.

Foreclosures on urban real estate
in the United States have been de-
clining for four years and the process
still is continuing, study by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board re-
vealed today.
A decrease of nearly so per cent in
the number of homes foreclosed dur
ing the first six months Of this year
as compared with the same period
of 1885 was noted. This indicated to
officials that despite other economic
ups and downs, the American home
owner progressively has overcome the
adverse financial forces which caused
hundreds Of foreclosures a day in 1882,
1888 and 1884
The downward trend which started
in 1885 is continuing month by month
during the present year. Foreclosures
in June, for instance, totaled l0704,
or 28 per cent less than in May.
Real estate foreclosure activity on
other than farm properties during the
first half of 1888 was 23.s per cent
and 48.5 per cent. respectively. below

Bureau of Labor Statistics Gives
Data on 2,081 Cities With
59,870,000 Population.
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

An awakening of the residential
building industry throughout the
country was indicated in July build
ing permit reports, Secretary Frances
Perkins said today in announcing
results of the monthly construction
survey conducted by the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics Decided increases
were shown in all parts of the Nation
in valuation of new residential build
ing.
Value of new residential building for
which permits were issued in July was
70 per cent higher than the preced-
ing month and 129 per cent above
July, 1887. Miss Perkins stated.
Comparing last month with June,
there was an increase of per cent
in the value of new non-residential
buildings. but decrease of per
cent in the value of additions, altera-
tions and repairs to existing struc-
lures. Permit valuation of all types
of building construction increased Al
per cent. These data are based on
reports received by the Labor De-
partment from 2,08l cities having
combined population of 59,S70,0oo
Residences Pull Up Deficit.
There was an increase Of 3 per cent
in the value of new non-residential
buildings, comparing July with the
corresponding month of 1887. The
value of additions. alterations and
repairs decreased by 81 per cent over
this period However, due to the
huge amount of residential construc-
ton last month general building ac-
tivity was up 49 per cent.
During the first seven months of
the year, permits were issued in the
cities reporting to the bureau for
buildings valued at 1918, 900. This
is a decrease of per cent as COM
pared with the corresponding period
of 1887. The value of new residential
buildings, however, increased S per
cent, comparing these two periods.
There was a decrease Of per cent in
value of new non-residential build
ings and Of II per cent in value OF
additions, alterations and repairs.
Washington Building Gains.
Due largely to the Federal Govern
ment building program, the value of
all types Of construction in Washing
ton for the first seven months totaled
$35, 414, an increase Of $4,500,000
over last year. The Capital ranked
third among the cities Of the country
in building volume for the period. The
local total was exceeded only in New
York City and in Los Angeles, with
Washington well ahead of such large
metropolitan centers as Chicago,
Philadelphia and Detroit.
There were 23,184 family dwelling
units provided in the new housekeep-
ing dwellings for which permits were
issued during July in the larger cities
of the country. This is gain of %
per cent over June. Compared with
July, 1887, there was an increase of rs
per cent in the number OF family
dwelling units provided.
The data collected by the bureau
show, in addition to private and mu-
nicipal construction, the number and
value of buildings for which contracts
we're awarded by the Federal and
State governments, in the cities in
cluded in the report. For July. 1898,
