If You Suffer from Migraine

By Herman N. Bcndesen. M. D. 'Migraine is a condition in which there are attacks of headache. together with sickness at the stomach and vomiting in some instances. The hraia he is usually on just one side of the head. The cause of migraine has no' been definitely determined There are some authorities who think that it runs in .families, that it may be due to allergy or oversensitivity t-i some food which is eaten, or that it may come from a disturbance of th glands of internal secretion, or from some psychological upset. According to Dr. Graham, of the Harvard Medical School, it may be possible to adjust a person’s surroundings. environment, and way o' life so that the things which tend to bring on an atta k of migraine will occur less frequently, if the sources of irritation in the patient’s surroundings can be reduced or removed. and the patien’s ability to meet these strains of his environment is improved, the number of migraine attacks may be materially red'iced. There are certain errors in living which srern to be frequent with patients with migraine. These have been listed as folknrs: 1. Getting up too late in the morn Ing, so that the period between arising sad going to work is so short that the individual is rushed and an atmosphere of tension and excite went is pct up.

of the state and realize that in rural areas, daylight saving time is not looked upon with favor. But many cities in Northern Indiana previously have voted in favor of shoving up the clocks one hour, beginning with the last Saturday in April and extending through to the, last Saturday in September. These communities operated on the “fast” time schedules without great harm to anybody, for after all. there are only 24 hours in a day and the hand on the clock doesn't really change anything. The legislature is stumped iwith the problem and chances are, no matter which way it votes, the result will not suit everybody, for individual tastes differ widely. —o o The legislature is working toward an agreement that the gross income tax rates should be boosted one-quarter of one percent across the board, as the means of I providing revenue for paying the soldiers' bonus. That sounds better than the first proposal of a one hundred percent boost in the rates. Raising upwards of 150 ' million dollars, or an average of 15 millions a year, is a problem in any man's language and where to place the burden or how to collect the money, is as puzzling as meeting present day overhead. Schemes of legalizing pari-mutuel betting, new cigaret and tobacco taxes or other forms of excise levies do not seem to get very far 1 among the law makers. There seems to be general opposition to a sales tax. —o o—State Aid Cheaters: I Illinois and New York have made public the fact that numbers of I persons drawing unemployment compensation from those states have been wintering at Florida ! and California resorts. Other I | northern states probably have some of the same. Statements from officials of the two states indicated that resort residence in I itself is no. bad. although it might ; cause lifted eyebrows among citizen observers. As long as persons are properly qualified for compensation, there seems to be no legal reason why they cannot go south with the sun while wai ing for another job to turn up. Just a few fraudulent claims in such a spectacular situation draw a great deal of attention. At times when public scandals arise, most taxpayers are prone to conclude that the whole system of com pen sation and social aid must be much more plagued with cheaters that they actually are. A few cheaters can give a whole program a bad name, which makes it the more important that they be kept weeded out.

•- 2. Sleeping tan late c:i Sundays i and holidays. It would appear that - migraine attacks occur frequent!’ 8 cn these days, and that they cat • often be avoided by getting up a i the usual hour and taking rest, i necessary, later on in the day. ’ 3. Eating a scanty breakfast an s a quick lunch, and then having at unusually large dinner. Distribut -* 'ng the food intake more even!} • during the day often stems mor t beneficial. 4. ’ Working steadily dur'ng the r dav without any rest periods. а. Staying up too late at night б. Insufficient time off and fail 8 use to take vacations. 7. B;ing ton conscientious aboit the neatness and accuracy of work ' performed, and failure to delegate ; tasks to others. • 8. A tendency to take on extra ’ activities. 9. \ tendency to eat excessive ’ amounts of starchy .'oods and • sweets 10. Eating chocolate. It is thought that chocolate should lie routinely eliminated in all forms from the diet of the patient witii 1 migraine. Attention to these factors may be helpful in reducing migraine attacks in some persons. ’ QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS i MB.: Is tuberculosis inherited? Answer; Tuberculosis is not inherited.

there was something oddly impersonal about ineffable beauty, somethin.-’ abstract and remote. He told himself amusedly that it was something like having a rendezvous with one of the Seven Wonders. He could visualize her perfectly and did, with pleasant frequency. He could see again the exquisite oval of her tace, the smooth ivory of her throat, the delicate contours ot all her features, the shining upsweep of her blue-black hair. Her eyes, he mused reflectively, did not at all correspond to his preconcieved notions ot perfect beauty. There was nothing wrong with tier eyes, deep blue and brilliant, longlashed, tenderly framed by arching brows. It was the expression, the life in mem, mat seemed contradictory. He had fancied, from what he had read, from pictures he nad seen, or perhaps from what he had only dreamed, that the eyes ot ineffable beauty would be mysterious, fathomless, inviting and yet probing, searching tor responsive depths, drawing out unsuspected tires ot passion. Sammy's expression was straightforward and serene. That was the word. Berene. Their brightness was that ot steadfast, unswervabie purpose, unwavering determination. That was not Lie spirit in the eyes ot beauty as ne Had imagined it. He could see ner again, her movements, every slight gesture ot neau and nands anu icet, now she walked and danced; with what easy unaiiected grace, a lissome assuredness snow mg in so much as me nil ot a Unger.

That, too, was impersonal. Wisdom nad to be impersonal. When elements ot intimacy intrude, judgment is biased and wisdom Used tails prey to human nature. But wnen, m mstory, did wisdom and beauty walk band in narid? Yet Bammy Ingram with all her beauty, nau a personal side, a side quite apart from matchless beauty and innate wisdom. She was in love. She was going to be married. For nine years sne nad looked forward to that marriage, nad worked in preparation tor iL Love and betrothal represent the ultimate essence ot me strictly personal. He nad suspected Red, the man ot whom she had spoken, whom she loved, ot practicmg some form ot black magic upon her. He had bewitcned her. He wondered how, otherwise, this Red had dared aspire to me possession of such perfection. He did not envy him. The lovely dearness of Donna was still his heart's desire. , He selected me place for their meeting with meticulous care, ft must be mid-|own, for her convenience; quiet, for he would not miss one wise word of her low, warm voice; rather expensive, but not ostentatious; good, but not show-off.

He smiled to think ot Bammy Ingram drilling, goddess-like, into sucn dives. He laughed to think ot me gapes and £asps ot amazement with which sne would be regaraed. Then he sobered quickly, ft would not be an amusing experience, it would be embarrassing. And, ne thought honestly, it would not embarrass her; it would embarrass him. Bammy was too serene, in her beauty and her wisdom, to teel contusion. Boyishly, ne made excuses tor the extra care he accorded ms appearance on Wednesday. He told mmselt it was merely that ne did not want strangers to wonder wny she picked up sucn a hayseed. He wore nis best, most conservative business suit and selected other accessories to correspond. Anyhow 1 don t look rich, ne assured mmselt comfortingly; nobody can lake me tor a sugar daddy.
