Both members had signed the treaty the day before.
But for known best to hens she perched far
up limb The fox said "Come down and have
romp" Which proposition was promptly mixed by the
plump poultry
Haven't you heard about the treaty." said the fox
in effort to veto the nix We're all little pals together
But the hen persisted in roostng to the limit of her
feathered aloofness
While the fox using his best wolfng manners

proper kind of WELL long" said the fox he
threw in his clutch, I'm off for the far hills"
"Why, haven't you heard about the treaty." asked
the roosterette; we're all little pals together"
"Sure, heard it and you heard it replied the fox
he goundooped for the antseptc horizon but there
always some blankety- blank who hasn't"
All of which leads to the moral that it is okay to be
out on limb. If it is high enough.

OF having a complete study
made 10 determine the cause of
the headache
Among rfe CaUScS OF head
ache are disturbances Of the
eyes. One eye disorder which
produces headaches IS known
as acute glaucoma This is
condition in which the pressure

THE condition. as a rule comes

OF the eyesight, widening OF the
pupil or opening in the eye and
clouding OF the front part Of the
eyeball or cornea. The head
ache usually is located in the
area above the eye and is often
worse at night. As soon as the
pressure within the eyeball is
relieved. the headache dis
appears.
A second eve disorder pro-
ducing headache is iritiS or in
nammation Of the colored part
OF the eye. In this disorder the
Eve is red. the pupil or opening
the eye is smaller than
5rTnal, while the iris or COL
ored portion Of the eye Is dis
colored The eyeSight is blurred
and there Is pain which passes
upward into the forehead and
temple OF the affected side.
The pain in this condition is also
worse at night. This disorder is
treated by using a drug known
as atropine. which completely
dilates the pupil of the eye, and
puts the eye at rest The pain
n usually relieved as the con-
dition disappears.

1t is known that when SEN

that the about to = be-created
world metropolis be located in
Jackson County, Missouri, in
compliment TO the President,
and named for him just simply
1T rum n"-presumably with
"the universe" the postal ad-
dress-that the capital should
be in this country, he had dis
cusSed the matter with former
Secretary Stettinius, who is TO

Kansas City, which il In

Thomas has a strong argu-

about equally distant from the
