"Just this" There was
strange smile on the old mans face.
And then he told her why!
Gail came out Of his office-walk-
ing like a woman in a terrible
dream. She stumbled into the phone
booth, and rang Reyna Thayer.
"Reyna," she said, there's been
a terrible mistake-an unforgiyable
carelessness on my part. Regina, you
must call off the trial. You must
pay your bill instantly. And come
to see me-right now-at my office.
It's urgent, Reyna!"

"And if there's one danger with this

And Reyna's is exceptional"

Your Health
Headaches May
be Traced TO
Eye Disorders
h. uEpMAN pT-NDEsFN NJ d
By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN. NJ, D

THOSE who have frequent
headaches often get into the habit
Of taking some psin-relieving
drug, and, once the pain is gone,
they are prone to neglect the i'm
portant procedure Of having a
complete study made to determine
the cause Of the headache.
Among the causes Of headache
are disturbances of the eyes.
One eye disorder which produces
headaches is known as acute gfau-
coma. This is a condition in which
the pressure Of the fluid within
the eyeban is increased. In this
disorder, there is severe pain in
the eve as we'll as in the head.
Sudden Blurring
The condition, as . rule, comes
on suddenly with blurring Of the
eyesight, widening of the pupil or
opening in the eye and elouding
Of the front part of the eyeball
or cornea. The headache 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 head
ache disappears.
A second eye disorder produe-
ing headache is iritis or infam-
nation of the colored part Of the
eye. In this disorder the eye is
red, the pupil or opening in the
eye is smaller than normal, while
the iris or colored portion of the
eye is discolored. 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 10
treated by using a drug known
as atropine, which completely
dilates the pupil of the eye, and
puts the eye at rest. The pain
is usually relieved as the condi-
ton disappears.
Loss of Eyesight
A third eye disorder producing
head pains is known as retro
bulbar (neuritis). This is not q
common condition and usually in
wolves only one eye. In it there
is loss of eyesight and pain in
the eyeball, which is made worse
by movement Of the eye. The
headache occurs on the side on
which the affected eye is located.
Herpes roster or shingles is
skin disorder which produces q
rash, made up of blisters, along
the course of a nerve. The
shingles may affect the eye and
the skin area above the eye. This
disorder, known as herpes roster,
ophthalmicus, usually begins with
a severe pain on one side Of the
face and head.
In acute infections Of the eye
lids, pain in the head often ap-
pears. When the eyesight is not
normal, that is, when a person is
nearsighted, farsighted, or has
astigmatism, eye strain results.
II this eye strain is allowed to
continue, severe headaches are
produced. When the eye strain is
overcome by the wearing Of prop
erly fitting glasses, the headache
disappears.
Thus it may be seen that when
headaches are present, thorough
study Of the eyes is always a part
of the procedure in determining
what is causing the headaches.

Dorothy Dix SAYS

Dear Miss Dix: We are two
schoolgirls who are secretly mar
ried and we are afraid to tell our
parents. I am IA and my friend is
Is. Our parents are prominent peo-
pie. I am married to a man 80 years
old. She is married to a boy of Is.
We are happy but scared. Please
tell us what to do.
WORRIED MINDS.
Answer-Well, children, you should
sign you letter Feeble Minds" in
stead of Worried Minds" for any
girl who gets married at IA certain
ly hasn't all that is coming to her
in the way of good, hard, horse
sense. And I should say that you
are a poor picker of husbands, for
no man of 80, who had the instincts
of a gentleman, would take ad-
vantage Of the youth and mex
perience of girl-child hardly out
of the kindergarten to marry her
secretly. He would 60 to her par
ents and ask their consent and
marry her openly and decently, or
wait until she grew up.
However, having done the best
you could to wreck your lives before
they have fairly begun, the only
thing you can do now is to try to
salvage as much of your happiness
as you can. and the only way you
can do this is by going at once to
