The Many Causes of Headache

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. 0. ONE nt th*- strangest of all heart pains might be called “five-minute headache,” In thia disorder there Ik usually an attack of severe pain In the face, forehead or behind the eye. limited to one aide. Along with the pain there la swelling of the tissues. watering of the eye and eon gestion in the nose. Though most uncomfortable while it lasts, this headache Is short lived, each attack lasting from five minutes to an' hour and occurring daily over a period of weeks or months. Doctors call this disorder histamine cephalagia. It is due to the fact that histamine, a chemical which the body normally produces in small amounts, Is suddenly In- * creased until there is enough pre sent ’to .cause Irritation. In treating histamine cephalagia. It is suggested that Injections of histamine be given under the skin. I starting with a small amount and gradually increasing the amount There are other substances which also may he utilized, such as one called histaminase. as well as the more recently discovered prepara tions. pyribenzamlne and benadryl. These substances can be taken by mouth, but of course, must be utilized under the direction of a physician. * One of the most common causes nt head pain, according to Dr. Frk«> N. Allan, of Boston, is migraine. a rendition In which there are attacks of headache frequently followed by sickness to the stoaaeh and vomiting The condition tends to run tn families Attacks often assy be prevented

More unusual than fiction Is the tragedy which befell a pilot and a father with bls two daughters, who while flying near Boston, struck the flaming mouth of a gas turnace chimney, the plane plunging down the Inferno. Even the vivid Imagination of a Dantes, couldn't have thought up a more horrible picture. The most Incredible news story of 1947 Is that the Coney Island Mardl Gras, which ordinarily is celebrated after Labor Itay, will be omitted beuase. among other reasons, the management cannot get attractive girls. To think that proud New York City would make »uch an admission. Why not aj>peal to the rest of the country, which would be both willing and able to help? o o — A new law places the cost of providlng for the Inmates at the County Home < Infirmary i on ih«> town-hips. Under the plan work led out locally, the per capita cost I I tor each inmate is 17.50 weekly, which the township must pay to the county. While this charge will offset the cost of county Infirm ary operation, the townships will feel the financial obligation more closely. In Washington township, whic h inc ludes the city of Decatur, the per capita cost will be based on seventeen inmates in the infirmary o• o — i Many schools throughout th n country will have to be enlarged ' to accommodate the extra number of children who will start to school during the current and immediate future years, due to the large number of birthfi in the- past five years. Births reached their high e t peak during the five months of this year, numbering 1,572.mu>, compared with the all time annual record in 1946 of 3.4«'.000. Beginning with the war years, births Increased tremendously and this young population will now be starting to school, necessitating larger or additional primary rooms. — o oA new political party has arisen The Vegetarian Party has nominated Dr. John Maxwe ll of Chicago for President on a meatless plat form. While the hardly look for victory, they think that they might get 5,000,00 n votes. If the Vegetarians get that many votes or even a fifth of that number. they might turn the scale in several states. If their campaign makes any headway, it would not be surprising to have the major party nominees drop a few kind words in their direction. Not kind i enough, however, to risk offending I the butc her- and the meat-eaters.

or lessened by using a substance known as ergotamine, which can be either taken by mouth or given by Injection into a muscle. I’ain in the head may also be due to high blood pressure in which case, the attacks occur in the morning and wear off during the day. Such headaches may be relieved by the use of sedatives or quieting drugs. If these are not effective, Dr. Allan suggests giving potassium or sodium thiocyanate These preparations are helpful In lowering the blood pressure, but can only be given over a short period 1 of time as reactions to them often occur. In some cases, headaches may be due to what is known as physical allergy, that Is. sensitivity to such things as heat and cold In some instances. the attacks occur as a result of exposure to drafts or changes in temperature, causing tenderness of the muscles of the head an| neck. Improvement has been brought about In such cases by means of injections Into a muscle of niacin, which is a part of I the vitamin R-complex. After two or three' months' treatment, the preparation can be continued by mouth, taken three times a week. Thus. It Is easy to see that the story of headache Is a long and complicated one. Pain In the head may be a symptom of serious or underlying disease and that Is why persistent headache should always be brought to the attention of the physician even though in most eiiH it is fortunately « symptom I which is more distressing than omisou* L

CHAPTER THIRTEEN THERE WERE times, Gerda knew, when she changed gear quite well (though never with confidonee), but it never happened if John were in the car. Her nervous determination to do it right this time was always disastrous, her hand fumbled, she accelerated too much or not enough, and then she pushed the gear lever quickly and clumsily so that it shrieked in protest. "Stroke it in, Gerda, stroke it in,” Henrietta had pleaded once, years ago. Henrietta had demonstrated. "Can't you feel the way it wants to go it wants to slide in —keep your hand flat till you get the feeling of it don't push it anywhere EEEL it.” But Gerda had never been able to feel anything about a gear lever. If she was pushing it more or less in the proper direction it ought to go in! Cars ought to be made so that you didn't have that horrible grinding noise. On the whole, thought Gerda, as she began the ascent of Mcrsham Hill, this drive wasn't too badly. John was still absorbed in thought — and he hadn't noticed rather a bad crashing of gears in Croydon. Optimistically, as the car gained speed, she changed up into third, and immediately the car slackened. John, as it were, woke up. "What on earths the point of changing up Just when you're coming to the steep hit?” Gerda set her jaw. Not very much farther now. Not that she wanted to get there. No, indeed, she'd much rather drive on for hours and hours, even if John did lone his temper with her! But now they were driving along Shovel Down — flaming autumn woods all around them. "Wonderful to get out of London into this,” exclaimed John. "Think of it, Gerda, most afternoons we’re stuck in that dingy drawing room having tea -sometimes with the light on.” The image of the somewhat dark drawing room of the flat rose up before’ Gerda’s eyes with the tantalizing delight of a mirage. Oh! if only she could be sitting there now. “The country looks lovely,” she said heroically. Down the steep hill—no escape now. . . , That vague hope that something, she didn't know what.' might intervene to save her from the nightmare, was unrealized. They were there. She was a little comforted, as she drove in. to see Henrietta sitting on a wall with Midge and a tail thin man. She felt a certain reliance on Henrietta, who would sometimes unexpectedly come to the rescue if things were getting very had. ' John was glad to see Henrietta, too. ... It seemed to him exactly the Atting Journey's end to that lovely panorama of autumn, to drop down from the hilltop and And Henrietta waiting for him. She had on the green tweed coat and skirt that he liked her in and which he thought suited her so much better than London clothes. Her long legs were stuck out in front of her. ending in well-pol-ished brown brogues. They exchanged a quick smile a brief recognition of the fact that each was glad of the other's presence. John didn’t want to talk to Henrietta now. He just enjoyed feeling that she was there— knowing that without her the week-end would be barren and empty. Angkatell came out from the house and greeted them. Her conscience made her more effusive to Gerda than she would have been normally to any guest "But how very nice to aee you, Gerda' It's been such a long tune. And John'"

The idea was clearly that Gerda was the eagerly awaited guest, and John the mere adjunct. It failed miserably of its object, making Gerda stiff and uncomfortable. Lucy said, "You know Edward? Edward Angkatell?” John nodded to Edward and said, “No. I don't think so.". The afternoon sun lighted up the gold of John's hair and the blue of his eyes. So might a Viking look who had just come ashore on a conquering mission. His voice, warm and resonant, charmed the ear, and the magnetism of his whole personality took charge ot the scene. That warmth and that objectiveness did no damage to Lucy. It was Edward who seemed, suddenly, by contrast with the other man, bloodless a shadowy figure, stooping a little. Henrietta suggested to Gerda that they should go and look at the kitchen garden. "Lucy is sure to insist on showing us the rock garden and the autumn border,” she said as she led the way, "but I always think kitchen gardens arc nice and peaceful. One can sit on the cucumber frames, or go inside a greenhouse if it’s cold, and nobody bothers one and sometimes there's something to eat.” They found, indeed, some late peas, which Henrietta ate raw, but which Gerda did not much care for. She was glad to have got away from Lucy Angkatell, whom she had found more alarming than ever. She began to talk to Henrietta with something like animation. The questions Henrietta asked always seemed to be questions to which Gerda knew the answers. After ten minutes Gerda felt very much better and began to think that perhaps the week-end wouldn't be so bad after all. Zena was going to dancing class now and had just had a new frock. Gerda described it at length. Also, she had found a very nice new leathercraft shop. HenrMta asked whether it would be difficult to make herself a handbag; Gerda must show her. It was really very easy, she thought, to make Gerda look happy, ami what an enormous difference it made to her when she did I took happy! ’ She only wants to be allowed to curl up and purr,” thought Henrietta. They sat happily on the corner of the cucumber frames where the sun, now low in the sky, gave an illusion of a summer day. Then a silence fell. Gerda's face lost its expression of placidity. Her shoulders drooped. She sat there, the picture of misery. She Jumped when Henrietta spoke. "Why do you come,” said Henrietta, "if you hate it so much?” Gerda hurried into speech. “Oh, I don't! I mean, I don't know why you should think—” She paused, then went on: "It is really delightful to get out of Ixmdon, and Lady Angkatell is so very kind—” “Lucy? She's not a bit kind.” Gerda looked faintly shocked.. "Oh, but she is. She's so very nice to me always.” "Lucy has good manners and she can be gracious. Ejt she is rather a cruel person. . I think really because she isn't quite human she doesn't know what it's like to feel and think like ordinary people. And you are hating being here, Gerda! You know you are. And why should you come if you feel like that?” "Well, you see, John likes it—" "Oh, John likes it all right. But you could let him come by himself " "Be wouldn't Mke that. Be

the flower girl, and last the bride on her father’s arm. Q. Is It always necessary to have ounselves announced when tailing cm someone who Is staying in a hotel? A. Yes. we must always an nounce our presence or be announced by one of the attendants. Do not take the liberty of going to i a room without this formality. Q. Should one ever hold a forkful or spoonful of food poised in the air while talking a’ the tabic-? i A. No; It is 111-bred to do so. 1 o o O I I Household Scrapbook ' By ROBERTA LEE 0 — n Faster defrosting To speed up the defrosting of your electric refrigerator, turn It to the "off" position. Empty the Ice cube trays, refill-with hot water, then put into the evaporator and close refrigerator door. In about 15 minutes the refrigerator will have defrosted to the point where the Ice can be scaled off. Reset refrigerator.

wouldn't enjoy ft without m« John is so unselfish. He thinks it is good for me to get out into the ! country." "The country Is all right,” said Henrietta, "but there's no need to throw in the Angkatells." “I I don't want you to feel that I’m ungrateful.” "My dear Onia, why should you like us? I always have thought the Angkatells were an odious family. We all like getting together and talking an extraordinary language of our own. I don’t wonder outside people want to murder us.” Then she added; "I expect it's about teatime. Let's go back." She was watching Gerda's face as the latter got up and started to walk toward the house. It's interesting, thought Henrietta, one portion of whose mind was always detached, to see exactly what a female Christton martyr's face looked like before she went into the Arena. As they left the wailed kitchen garden, they heard shots and Henrietta remarked: "Sounds as though the massacre of the Angkatells had begun!” It turned out to be Sir Henry and Edward discussing flrearr.is and illustrating their discussion by firing revolvers. Henry Angkatell'* hobby was firearms and he had quite a collection of them. He had brought out several revolvers and some target cards and he and Edward were firing at them. "Hullo, Henrietta. Want to try if you could kill a burglar?” Henrietta took the revolver from him. "That's right—yes, no, aim like this.” Bang! 1 "Missed him." said Sir Henry. I "You try, Gerda.” "Oh, I don't think I—" 1 “Come on, Mrs. Christow. It's quite simple.” Gerda fired the revolver, flinch- ’ ing, and shutting her eyes. The bullet went even wider than Hen- ' rietta's had done. 1 "00, I want to do It,” said Midge, strolling up. "It's more difficult than you'd think.” she remarked after a cou- . pie of shots. "But it's rather fun." Lucy came out from the house. Behind her came a tall, sulky mar with an Adam's apple. * "Here's David," she announced , She took the revolver from , Midge as her husband greeted , David Angkatell, reloaded it, and without a word put three hole* , close to the center of the target r "Well done, Lucy,” exclaimed Midge. "I didn't know shooting ■ was one of your accomplishments." "Lucy,” said Sir Henry gravely, > "always kills her man!” Then he added reminiscently, t "Came in useful once. Do you remember, my dear, those thugs that set upon us that day on the Asian t side of the Bosporus? I was roll- . ing shout with two of them on top of me, feeling for my throat." "And what did Lucy do?” asked Midge. . "Fired two shots into the melee. I didn't even know she had the I pistol with her. Got one bad man , through the leg and the other in ( the shoulder. Nearest escape in . the world I’ve ever had. I can't . think how she didn't hit me." Lady Angkatell smiled at him. , "I think one always has to take J some risk," she said gently. "And f one should do it quickly and not think too much about It.” • ."An admirable sentiment, my ( dear,” said Sir Henry. "But I have . always felt slightly aggrieved that I was the risk you took!” I To Bo Continued)
