BEAUTY AND SICK HEADACHES These Are Sworn Enem.es and Few Women May Keep Both—Some Simple Remedies. If you are “subject" to sick headaches, then you may be pretty sure the marks do not disappear with the attacks, but remain to mar the beauty of your face. That drawn look, those circles under the eyes, the sallow ness of the skin—they are all traces left of the headaches. In nine cases out of ten perhaps this may be effected by exercising a little common sense, for w hatever the primary cause, secondarily headaches are due to disordered nerves. The first suggestion, then, is control your nerves Shut off the tension. Let yourself down. Close your eyes aud shut out thoughts. Remain thus for five minutes, and tomorrow at noon repeat the performance, and then the next day aud next aud forever. Then put a watch over yourself and every time during the day when you catch yourself and your nerves getting tightened into knots "let down," A few weeks' attention, and yon will find that you have those nerves pretty well under control, and if the headaches haven't stopped annoying altogether you are at least now iQ condition to deal with them. Perhaps your system is in a weakened condition and you need a tonic which the doctor will prescribe; but ordinarily camomile tea may be just what you need, and certainly it is harmless. The less medicine the better. and never, no matter how disturbing the headaches, be persuaded to "try" powders or sleeping draughts. Better let the headaches take their course than commence that habit. Eat simply, avoiding rich foods, and eat regularly and often rather than too greedily at a time. Drink plenty of water, including a glass of hot water with haif a teaspoonful of baking soda in it once a week, and a glass of water with half a teaspoonful each of soda and cream of tartar half an hour before breakfast one morning out of the six. Take plenty of rest, snatching a nap if for only five minutes, in the middle of the day. Beware of eye strain. Keep the eyes in condition by dousing them with water with salt in it every night, and keep clear of colds. In fact, use common sense to eliminate the recurreat headache—Exchange.

P»nama'» “Plat Arch.” On« of the inoat famouis ‘ flat arete*" in the world is to be found in the ruin of the church of Santa Domingo. Panama City, and has stood for nearly three centuries. The arch, says a writer in the Wide World inagaxine. has an unsupported span of 36 feet 5 inches, and stands 2U feet from the ground. Tradition has it that the Dominican monks planned and built tbelr own church. This arch was near the front of the entrance and supported the organ loft, and It fell down three times as soon as the supports were taken away. Then a monk, who waa neither an architect nor an engineer, "dreamed ’ an arch, and drew up a plan according to his vision. W hen j the arch was for the fourth time com pleted the designer stood beneath it while the supports were removed, staking his life on his inspired work. It stood and still stands. The church was destroyed by fire in 173". and now nothing remains but thle marvelous arch The rain is now the property of private owners, and unless the famous arch la speedily bought by the government of Panama it will be torn down and a modern apartment house will be erected on the site. Warm Winter Camp. In winter la the open tent or leanto you will conserve as much heat from the campfire as possible. That which goes up is loat, but It can be j reduced to a minimum by placing the fire as elooe to the front of the camp as possible and having a rather steeply * pitched roof which will catch and re- j fleet the heat w aves that go diagonally upward The heat that would ordi- j narily spread on the aide farthest from j the camp can be thrown almost entirely backward Into the structure. The fireplace must have a .reflect- j ing back, which la constructed by | standing two heavy green sticks In I front of the shelter, as close to It asj it will be possible to have tbe Are. I and with tbelr tops Inclined slightly ' away from the shelter. Brace them j behind with forked sticks, and against their front pile green logs to a height j of three feet or more The Are will be built against these front logs. Better than this reflecting back, face the ramp against a big rock if one ia available—Outing. Ho.pitable. Anyway.
