coming out of church services
and the minister advised me to
drink n lot of water for my
severe headache.
81 took his advice and as
usual my headache became n
lot worse.
eff starve myself from
water entirely, the headache Il
always less severe and some
times / can prevent IL entirely
In this way"
These letters indicate some of
the high points of that queer,
queer disease, migraine.
1t is undoubtedly hereditary.
II is a disease of the active
part of life, usually beginning
about the age of 10 and usually
stopping about the age of so.
THE victim nearly always can
Il tell when he is going to
have a headache, so the ad-
monition to stop water drinking
can be obeyed in most instances
early enough to do some good.
While there are a number of
different remedies which may
help, such as the recently in
troduced ergotamine, there is no
100 per cent relief that works in
all cases.
The cause of the disease Is
probably some upset in the
chemistry of the body and it
may very well be that a change
in water balance could bring on
the attacks.
At any rate. abstinence from
water can't do anybody any
harm and / bring this experience
forward for what il is worth.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERS
D. c.: What are the symp-
toms of chronic appendicitis g?
Could a condition consisting Of
sluggishness. dull headaches, in
digestion, frequent colds and
bad breath be caused by appendi-
citis?
Answer: II is generally con-
sidered that chronic appendicitis
does not exist. 1t is an easy
way out of a diagnosis for
functional Indigestion due to a
neurotic condition.
The symptoms which you list
are very likely symptoms which
accompany a neurotic condition.
1 do not believe they are due to
chronic appendicitis.

Science Finds
New Key to
Personality
BY G. b. LAL

DISCOVERY of a new beneh-
~ cial effect of certain vita
minis of the B complex upon
human personality and health by
Doctors Morton S. Biskind and
c. Shelensnyek of the New York
Beth Israel Hospitals research
department was disclosed today.
In the light of their invesu-
cations the vitamins of B COM
pick appear to play an impor-
tant part in the balance of the
hormoneS which are primarily
responsible for the Characters
tics of men and women.
THE liver contains the chemi-
Il cal machinery for maintain
ing the proper balance between
the female and the male hor-
mones which have much to do
with both the physical and emo
tional behavior of human beings.
When too much estrin, the
female hormone is present in
the body. the liver destroys It.
- Doctors Biskind and Shelen-
snyek's researches show, how
ever, that the liver fails to de-
Stroy this substance if there is a
deficiency of vitamins of B COM
pick.
Just which of the B complex
vitamins are particularly impor-
tant for keeping the liver's abil-
ity TO dispose of unwanted
amounts of the female hormone
is a subject that remains TO be
investigated.

Drink|ess Day Advised
For Migraine Sufferers
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

GENERAL weeks ago 1 pub
~ lished a short excerpt from
a sufferer from migraine head
aches who said that he could
mitigate or prevent attacks en-
tirely by refraining from drink
ing water as soon as he had an
indication that the headache was
coming on.
/ asked at the time IL any
other of my readers had had
such experiences and 1 have had
a very large and generous re-
Spouse from people who have
had the same experience.
There were too many of these
letters for the results to be
mere coincidence.
So far as l know, I never have
seen any reference to this in a
textbook of medicine. but that
is understandable because so
many people with migraine or
sick headache treat themselves
and their remedies never get to
the medical profession.
They probably start out by
having a doctor when their at
tacks first begin but soon find
that he does not give very
much relief or that they can
learn everything that he has to
offer.
For instance, in one OF the
letters that was sent me on the
subject, a woman says that she
and her family have moved
seven times in the last Is years
and have consulted a great
many doctors but she never
has consulted one about her
headaches.
A TYPICAL statement is as
4 u follows:
81 suffered terribly. from MI
graine for many years and IL
was necessary for me TO take q
great many opiates.
II was always told to drink a
lot of water but 1 got Disguised
and quit IL and found that my
headaches were not nearly 80
severe, although they did not
quit entirely.
But when I force myself to
drink water, they are always
worse. I am writing this, hop
ing 1t might he help TO some
one else"
Another one says:
81 have had migraInes since I
was about 10 and Am now so.
I cannot endure the thought of
drinking water before the head
aches start or during the worst
Of the pain and when water
tastes good, 1 am sure the head
ache Is over for that time.
Another thing 1 have noticed
Il that the quickest way to get
over the exhaustion from the
pain and nausea IL to eat very
rare beef.
THE members OF my family
have their laugh at Mothers

father had these headaches, also
my father who was an VI. D.,
but could not cure his own
migraine headaches. NV sister

not"

Manor Park Double Play
Pair in Federation Group
Scott and Corbin
Cooperate on
Utilities Matters
BY THOMAS G. BUCHANAN.

| ny 1HOksAho VI DS SAA<AANfANs
When prompt, co-ordinated action
Is needed In the Public Utilities
Committee Of the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations. Manor Parks
double play combination" can Be
counted upon to provide 1t.
II rise to make motion" James
T. Scott. ST., Of the Manor Park
association will declare.
Second the motion" George A.
Corbin OF Manor Park win respond,
or vice versa.
Acknowledging that 1t is unusual
for both delegates of any association
TO serve on the same committee,
Mr.. Scott attributes the exception
in this instance to the great interest
which he and Mr.. Corbin have al
ways had In public utility matters.
Foremost among their joint achieve
ments. Mr. Scott says, was the sue
cessful drive to obtain and maintain
Sunday service on bus lines In the
Takoma Park and Manor Park
| areas.
Held Numerous Civic Posts.
In addition to his duties in the
Federation Mr.. Scott Is president Of
the Manor Park Citizens Associa-
ton. Although serving his first
term In that position, he has held
numerous other of1ces in the asso-
citation since joining the group In
1896. Mr.. Scott says he had always
been interested in civic work, was
concerned with the affairs Of the
Manor Park community. liked the
people there and. gravitated nat
urally to the association.
Prior to his election to the presi-
dency this season. Mr.. Scott had
held the Craftsmanship Of the asso-
ciation's Taxation Committee, had
been first vice president and had
represented the organization for
two years at the Federation, where
ne Is not only q member OF the
Public Utilities Committee but vice
chairman Of the Safety Committee.
Mr.. Scott Is particularly inter-
ested in eliminating the menace to
the general safety represented by
doors Of public buildings which do
not open outward. This phase Of
the Safety Committees work, he
feels, should receive increased at
tention in wartime Washington, in
view OF the possible necessity for
swift evacuation OF such buildings.
Defense Is Leading Issue.
Most Of the purely local interests
OF Manor Park, such as provision
Of q stadium for CALVIN Coolidge
High School, have been deferred
until conclusion of the present ma
tional emergency, Mr.. Scott de-
clares. He Is himself vice chairman
Of the local Civilian Defense Com
mittee.
Right now" he explains, every
thing is being set aside for civilian
defense. AL Of us are working hard,
either as air-raid wardens or in
some other branch Of defense work" !"
The area had 257 wardens at the
last report, with about $50 persons
trained In first aid, Mr.. Scott as
serts. Another class was started
last week in Coolidge High School.
After the war is over, Mr.. Scott
hopes the District may be accorded
local an national suffrage, the

for educational, not office, purposes.
Time was when the city heads
were not entirely unwilling to con-
slider q deal with the Government
for the building. That was before
Pearl Harbor and when they har-
bored some hopes OF getting cash
for the building which might be
used in the construction of the west
section of the municipal center.
That was also when they had
thought most Of the District activi-
ties might be concentrated into the
new center.
With the acquisition OF such new
agencies as Q rent control admiAis-
tration, tire, automobile and sugar
rationing, civilian defense and with
the Federal Government alresdy
using much Of the new center space,
it has become perfectly clear that
there is not enough room even with
the old District Building In serv-
ice. Old school buildings have been
pressed into service to provide addi-
tional space for the rationing asen-
cies, rent control and District selec.
tive service. The welfare Depart.
ment, which had hoped to centraliss
in the new building. Is still the most
decentrslized agency of District gov.
ernment.
Some Hold No Federal Equity.
Then there are some who are not
disposed to recognize any Federal
equity in the building at all. Ths
title, they point out, is 100 per cent
in the District. The Government
was meeting half the expenses of tbs
city at the time the District Build.
ing was constructed, 1t Is true, they
say, but 1t was never allocated by
project specifying so much in Fed
eral funds and so much in District
funds. Under such Interpretation,
1t was pointed out, the Federal Gov.
ernment, paying $4,000 out OF
$50, 900 900 budget. might now claim
about II per cent equity in all local
building projects.
