Varied Causes of Head ache

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. , THE symptom of headache is at ways a challenge to the physician There are ao many type* of headache and tt can he due to each a wide variety of cause* that when a patient complain* of persistent headache the doctor is up again*t a problem of diagnosis. Until he can discover the source of the headache, be cannot even make a b>-ginning on the treatment which will eliminate it. The first thing he does is to determine the type of pain. He will want to know when the headache first developed, whether it started gradually or suddenly, whether the pain was mIM or severe, con Ktunt or occurring at interval* and whether or not It stops suddenly or gradually. When Pain Occurs He wifi also want to know whether the pain cornea on during the day or aight. whether it Is present early in the morning or late la Um- evening. After careful questioning about the type of pula the doctor will carry out a compiste eaaaiinatkMi to determine. If pusstHa. the sawrte <rf the diftp * ull v n.- * . . . — brdit ‘k. ' Moutni on

continues, many Georgians win find themselves without the price of groceries and political loyalty to either contender will then dwindle. o— —o There seems to be dissatisfaction around the state house with the congressional plan to maintain the war-time taxes on furs, jewelry. liquor and cigarettes, because legislative leaders eyed the idea of passing an Indiana tax on the commodities. With the federal levies still In force, the state taxI Ing body, is afraid to add an additional burden on Hoosiers, and they have every right to be concerned. 0 j Three bills that promise to get a lot of attention in the legislature are those calling for a direct primary law, removing the beer and liquor franchises from politics and the soldier bonus measure Chances are that there will be a lot of ducking on the proposals, until sentiment crystalip-s one way or the other. So far, Governor Gates is leading the fight for revamping the beer wholesalers law. the other two being introduced by members of the legislative body. 0 o The portal-10-portal pay suits may die aborning If the federal judge follows the recommendation of Attorney-general ('lark and throws the Mt. Clemens Pottery Company case out of court. The Attorney-general had filed his brief with the court, requesting that the original jcortal pay suit be dismissed. The federal treasury lias also pointed out that if the suits were collectable, that the government would stand to lose a few billion dollars hi tax refunds and the Army-Navy contend that back-pay suits would cost another billion and a half. The whole affair sounds a little ridiculous and we believe both employe and employer would be glad to have the matter settled. —o o-— — Denouncing the legislative policy committee's skip-election bill, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, sets up several reasons why It should not become a law. “This new monstrosity would not change the date of this year's election, but would shorten the term of the persons elected this year . . . The result, of course will be to withdraw local issues from local elections and assure smoother sailing for political trends and entrenched machines. . . . Some day the people will become tired of electing legislators on a home rule' platform only to see theue legislators remove local from the people." The paper called on .Mayor Baals to* opeuly oppose the vieious bill which they clatnr has a good chance of becoming law.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE WHEN PHILIP told Anne about Mary a impatience, he was surprised at her reaction. “Oh, Philip," she said, "I hope she isn't going to be disappointed." "Why should she be T You're not thinking of jilting me, are you?” “Silly; But you know it won't be the way she pictures it" “Why won't it be ? We may have a hard time finding a house to suit her, but a nice little Scottie pup ought to make up for any deficiencies. I don't blame her for being impatient" Im went on after a moment "I'.n getting impatient myself. I haven't had a real home since my mother died. , . . College rooms and hospitals and oven apartments aren't home." Anne said nothing; and suddenly there was a barrier between them —an intangible barrier consisting of a life lived by one, unknown to the other. When Philip spoke again, Anne knew that he recognized It “You must have wondered a little about me, Anne, and I'd like to tell you. But I don't know that I can make you understand, because I'm not sure that I understand, myself," “I'll try," Anne said quietly. "I married Sheila while 1 was still In medical school. 1 had an income from stocks my father left me. au** we got along all right until the ’29 crash. 1 was an interne by that time, and my expenses were taken care of, no there was enough for Sheila to live oner there was until Mary was bom. Then our troubles began. There wasn't enough money for a nurse, and Sheila couldn't seem to learn to take earn of a baby properly, and she wasn't used to being tied down.

I fold her to go ahead, that I wouldn't contest the divorce if she'd let me have Mary. . , . And there you have the story, if you can make anything of it" He leaned back in the swing with a little sigh, and left Anne to sort out her confused impressions as well as she could. He had told her al) thia—and all she really wanted to know was how much ho had cared about Sheila. He must have cared a lot, she thought, to have let Sheila do as she had done; and yet. he must have stopped caring, finally, or he would have found some compromise over the last issue. And didn't it fit in, somehow, with what she knew of Philip's easy-going temperament? He had done what ho wanted with his own life, and he had let Sheila do what she wanted with here. Maybe It didn't mean eo much, after all. “Weil," Ptylip's voice said beside her, “are you too disgusted with me to marry me?" She turned her head and smiled at him. “Not quite." “In that ease, how soon do you think you can be ready?" She had some difficulty in adjusting herself to this change in tone and subject “I’D have to help Jean find someone to take my place," she said, fixing her mind on Jean, who she was secretly afraid would lose a good many customers. In her present state of mind, Jean could be thorough, but not particularly friendly or sjrmpathetic. People were quick to notice the difference. “I've been trying to get her to take a vacation, but She wants to keep busy, I suppose, and if I leave her shell have plenty to do " “Where shall we go?" Philip asked. On their honeymoon ? Anne hadn't thought of that. “Wo might gt up In the mountains and fish for trout," she suggested. “You'd Mke that, wouldn't you?" "It doesn't make much difference to me, just eo you’re along." Anne answered honestly. “I suppose Tm taking a chance, even on that, marrying a doctor."

Mrs. Lane stopped stirring and looked at him expectantly. “You see, Anne and I are planning to get married, and Mary is very much interested and getting rather impatient We re just too slow to suit her." “I’m so glad, Philip. 1 kind of suspected it" "I've no doubt you did. We're hunting for a house, and as soon as we find one. and a minister, and so on. we'U take the little nuisance off your hands." “I’ll miss her though, and you and Anne. Honestly, Philip, I don’t know whether to be relieved or heart-broken." "I guess your heart will mend. Anyhow, I think Mary trill be better satisfied now that she sees there's really something doing." And Mary was. After she had had the pleasure of announcing the engagement which she did with great solemnity at the table that night Anne took ber shopping and talked to her about their plans, making her feel that there was a great deal for them both to do in a very short time. It was not eo easy to find the house they wanted. Anne conceded that she could do without the tall windows of glass brick, and could endure a garage on the front, and she was about to relinquish a few more pointe when they heard of a house belonging to one of Philip’s patients who was moving away. “He’D think I told him his heart would be better in a lower altitude just so we could have his house." Philip said when Anne pronounced it perfect. “You can see the mountains." Mary said from where she stood looking out of the window of the master bedroom. "And I can see them from my room, too,” she added, dashing across the hall to the room she had claimed for her own. "And now for furniture," said Anne. "Now for the furniture. And don't forget that one comfortable chair." You really shouldn’t try to hurry a thing Mke this, Anne thought distractedly in the days that followed. You should take your time and be sure you got what you wanted. Anne selected draperies and rugs and dishes and linen after she and Philip had chosen the furniture; and she had to assemble a trousseau somehow. Rhe began to wonder at last whether she would be able to stand up for the ceremony. Mrs. Lane was the first to rates tbs question of procedure. "What 1 want to know, to when and "X USnk asm’s it win be in a spending automobile," Philip said. "She’s sure PM be the only a vaUaote foetoe to sc ■jibody’aerw-

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO JEAN, WHO nad finally found an operator that suited her, came out of ber abstraction at last and gave her attention to Anne's wardrobe. She found Anne, who badly needed assistance, an antelope nag of the exact shade of bright dark blue as her suit, and helped her to find a hat to go with IL Anne, who had really been worried about leaving her, felt much better. Wedding presents were already coming in. An aunt of Philip’s whom Anne had never heard of, sent a set of sterling silver. The Bowman's gave them a chest of linen. . . . “And I never even had the bother of a hope chest," Anne sighed rapturously. The Somers gave them a mantel radio; the Lanes an automatic toaster; Mr. Grey, after threatening to give each a pair of orthopedic shoes which they declared they did not need, gave them a glass coffee maker, and Jean gave Anne a fitted dressing case and Philip a set of monogrammed cocktail glasses. Anne picked Mary up at school one day and took her to town to choose a dress suitsble for a flower girl. Anne liked a yellow embroidered linen, but Mary lost her heart to a pink taffeta with ruffles, and pink taffeta was what they goL Philip kept an amused eye on the preparations, but he was pretty well occupied with the effort of looking after his own and Dr. Somers' patients while the doctor was on his vacation. He would have preferred a brief visit to the nearest justice of the peace, but he was glad that Anne was at least planning as simple an affair as possible. He scarcely saw her now, they were both eo busy; but her hsppiness got through him in the time they did have together, and he felt that, whether he deserved It or not. he was being given a second chance. • • • A home wedding te not a light undertaking for those tn whose home it is given. Mrs. Bowman put the cover on her typewriter two days before the event was scheduled, and transformed herself Into a housewife with microscopic eyes. The house was cleaned from top to bottom, and the furniture was brushed and polished and moved around to cover the most faded places In the once bright red of the Turkish carpet. Anne came home the day before the wedding. She had come with every intention of helping, hut she was so tired that before she had been in the house ten minutes she lay down on the old porch swing and went to sleep watching a squirrel ran up and down the walnut tree.

tiad an uneasy feeling when ne considered this marriage, which, on the surface, seemed almost Ideal. It was not the short length of time they had known each other that bothered him—that sort of thing wss customary nowadays—but be had a vague sense of there being another side to Philip which Anne did not know. Old people looked older asleep, he thought, watching Anne's face, and young people looked younger. She must be tired. Girls certainly made a lot of fuss about weddings. Anne’s cheeks were flushed the pink of her wool sweater; a curl was in one eye. He crossed the porch noiselessly and lifted it back from her face and pulled the blanket up over her shoulder. He stood looking down at her a moment, and then went back into the house. In the morning they brought In all the flowers left In the garden—zinnias that looked as if they were made of paper, and white and yellow chrysanthemums, and cosmos and gladio'.as. They put golden glow and golden rod in tall jardinieres; and In the comers, and In the fireplace, and In the porches, were the red and yellow leaver from the mountains. It was Sunday, and as beautiful as a late September day tn the mountains can be. The Lanes came early, bringing Jean and Mary, and while Mrs. Lane helped Mrs. Bowman put the finishing touches to the wedding breakfast, the girls took Mary with them to Anne's room, where they proceeded to make, first the flower girl, and then the bride, ready for the occasion. It was a good thing she had Jean to help her, Anne thought, as Jean combed curls deftly; her own fingers would never have been steady enough. She had not even been able to comb Mary’s. They heard a car turning Into the graveled drive, and Mary ran to the window to look ouL "It's Philip," she announced, and dashed out of the room and down the stairs. Anne looked after her tenderly. "I hope the baby doesn't burst with all the excitement" Jean smiled. “You ought to be flattered." "Oh. It Isn't me. She just likes the idea of her own home.” Anne had found It an appealing idea herself. Jean leaned over to get a bobby pin from the dressing table and Anne pull-d her heafl down and kissed her. Once she had felt as though Jean were deserting her; now she felt as though she were deserting Jean. They hugged each other hard for a moment, and then Jean straightened up. “ft's all right to cry after the ceremony," she said, dabbing at her eyas “But It wouldn't add anything to the effect to be aD streaked before- * • • It was a small wedding Besides JJ** Lan * ’ aM Dr. and ST S? fift. *r"*-*
