My Christmas cactus had not bIoomed
for two or three years. Two years ago
after resting it through the summer. in
Sept. I repotted it and placed it in the
Sunniest window. 1t began to put forth
new growth at once but in early Nov.
it still showed no sign of buds. Remem-
bering that a cactus growing wild
seems to do best in alkaline soil, tried
watering my cactus with soda water.
Va teaspoonful of common baking soda
In ounces of water every two or three
weeks. After the first watering buds
began to appear. Though late for that
Christmas there were blooms in Jan.
and for several weeks. Last year I be-
gan soda treatment in Oct. and at
Christmas the plant was full of blooms
and continued through Easter, each
soda watering bringing forth added
buds.-L. L. H., MissouIa county.

FOR MRS. S. L. L., Sheridan county.
who would like to know how to get her
Christmas cactus to bloom. l had
trouble of the same kind, so last year
set the plant in its pot on the north side
of the house in July and left it until
the latter part of September or first of
October. When I brought it in it was
loaded with buds. Do not put it where it
will be very warm as the buds will blast
If the plant is kept too warm. AS soon
as the weather would permit this spring
I took it out onto the enclosed porch
and it is just starting to bloom again
now. Hope you succeed in getting yours
to bloom but do not keep it where it

q HEADACHES

The headache is one of Americas
most common complaints Although
it is not an ailment in itself with its
own cause, as in the case of cold
or contagious disease, it is warn
ing signal of trouble somewhere in
the body The body is so complex
that any one of a hundred things
could go wrong and touch off a
headache.
Most headaches have one or more
of these five reasons back of them
Infection, fatigue allergy, injury or
emotion
Headaches are caused by physical
and chemical changes in the body
that stimulate the nerves in the
head controlling the arteries which
feed the brain and other organs of
the head. In the walls of these ar
teries are nerves which ract to mi
mute physical and chemical chang
es in the body. ANY of the five
causes stated stimulates these ner-
YES to the point where their activa-
ion brings real pain, headache
A headache might be caused by
some infection such as sinus infec-
ton or one much farther away in
the lower parts of the body II
might come from fatigue which
causes a chemical change. 1t might
be from an allergy cause by food II
might come from a blow on the
head and migraine headaches are
caused by emotion Note that in e.
very case these affect the nerves
and not the brain tissue itself.
Headaches act as alarm signals
A person may have a splitting head
ache while sick with the flu, but the
headache vanishes when the fiji
leaves. It is therefore safe to assume
that the flu was the cause of the
headache The same would apply il
2 person were suffering from eye
s'rain, and the headache left after
ne patient was fitted with the righ'
classes. or was provided with pro.
Per lighting to replace inadequate
o. wrongly directed light
In any case, since a headache il
an alarm signal if it recurs, doc

physical examination.
When a physician asks if there is
a particular pattern of time and re-
currence, he is attempting to run
down clues of cause. Usually ST
nus headache will begin in the NOR
ming but will improve as the day
goes along probably due to better
drainage of the sinus in an upright
position. igraine headaches usual
ly start in the morning and improve
as the day goes on On the other
hand headaches caused from visual
fatigue are seldom present after a
night of rest, but art building up
late in the day.
The calendar sometimes furnishes
another clue People who are tense
and who drive themselves oftn have
headaches on their day of rest, due
to the crculatory and glandular
changes that cCme with the letdown,
and also because of the absence of
the satisfaction such a person gets
from work This last cause, of cour-
Sc is psychological
Eyestrain is an example of head
aches caused by fatigue. When eye
muscles have tried to correct an eye
defect, the muscles get tired just as
the muscles of your hands would
tire if you clenched them tightly fol-
a long time When muscles tire
from burning up too much energy
they produce Tactic acid. If the ia
tigue is prolonged, they produce e.
nough acid to cause a reaction il
the nerves, and we get tired and a
ching muscles
When the cause of recurring heaC
aches cannot be identified as in
lection, fatigue allergy, or injury, il
is possible that the ache is due en-
tirelv to emotional disturbances. E.
motions can cause physical reac
| ton For example. some peopl

parent in a person who has barrel,

Our nervous systems are hollow
| erS from the days when they react
ed to danger by making the muscle
tense and causing powerful stimu
lants to be poured into the bloc
stream so that we could fight or ru

sys EN-, but we no longer live i
that kind of world
| Under conditions of civilization
we restrain our emotions. In ths
way we store up nervous energy i

tensions that can cause a headache
Arteries in the head become dilate
to tn point where the nerves becom

periods of tension allows the ter
sion to leak away little by little an

SALZBURG, Austria.-Having
reached Austria, I shall stay for
a time in this, the fourth largest
city in the country. The three
which are larger are Vienna,
Graz and Linz.
Although Austria Is a small
country, it is far from being the
smallest in Europe. It has twice
as many square miles as Switzer-
land, and almost one and a half
times as many people. The popu-
lation Of Austria is now just
above seven million.
German is the mother tongue
Of almost all Austrians. but they
have their own manner of
speech. They differ somewhat in
racial stock from the Germans.
Their nature seems closer to the
Bavarians of Southern Germany
than to the Prussians.
Austria's standard coin is the
schilling. It differs from the
British shilling in value, as well

in a special way. Often It is
garnished with sardines, peas
and so on.
Wiener schnitzel carries the
name of Wien, which iss2the
Austrian spelling of Vienna. The
right way to pronounce Wien"
is "VEEN," but English-speak-
ing people usually call it
"WEEN." /.
Restaurants in many countries
serve wiener schnitzel, but an
other meat product Of Vienna
is known much more widely. I
am thinking of the wiener. Mil
lions of wieners are eaten daily
in North America and Europe.
The country which seems to like
them best is the United States.
With a population of a mil
lion and three quarters, Vienna
ranks sixth among the cities Of
Europe. Ahead of it are London,
Moscow, Berlin, Leningrad and
Paris.

From j. H. R., La Porte: Please
give the origin of the expression,
ito make a SPIEL"
Answer: Spiel is German for
play. game, sport" The verb
spielen pronounced: SHPEE-
LEM means ito play, to act. to
perform" Hence, by extension,
to talk, or make speeches; or, in
the American vernacular, to
sound off.
Merriam Webster's lists the
American use of spiel as slang" :"
But spiel in German is a quite
proper word; therefore, there is
no particular reason why its use
in English should be regarded as
slang. The so-called English Ian
guage consists mostly of words
borrowed from other languages
The origin of spiel is as respect
able as hundreds of other Ger
man words accepted as proper in
English usage.
