If You Hove Headaches Often

By Herman N. Bundeson M. 0. HEADACHE is such an ordinary occurrence that most people think that its treatment is a simple matter. This is far from true, because headache occurs as a symptom of many different disorders. Its successful treatment depends on discovering and eliminating its underlying cause, often a most difficult thing to do. This is particularly true in headaches of the migrain type. It has been suggested that in migraine there may be a period preceding Hie headache in which there is a contracting of certain of the arteries which run to the brain, and then fol'lows a period in which these arteries relax or dilate. Then there is still a third period in which there is some stretching of the lining membrane over the brain and some swelling of ihe walls of the blood vessels du* to the collection of fluid in them. It is these latter things which seem to produce the pain by making pressure on the pain-carrying nerves. . A number of different types of headache have been treated with sodium nicotinate. Nicotinic acid, from which sodium nicotinate is giade. comes from* the vitamin th roftpleX. It seertrfto have the effect of dilating the Mood vessels. Thirty-five patients with headaches like those of migraine were treated with this substance In some cases, the headaches were associated wjtb the monthly periods, with gastro-intestinal upsets, spadn

With our churches, schools and homes, each community is the better because of these institutions and their teachings of the Commandments and the observance of the Golden Rule. * All serve to make a better place in which to live and all have an influence for good. A community center should be developed with the same ideals in mind. o o The Columbia Valley Authority, which President Truman desires, may not be set up this year. This Authority would deal not so much with traffic as with power, irrigation and conservation in the adjoining areas. The idea is based on the realization that an immense stream like the Columbia , should be controlled not by local interests alone, but by a conjunction of the bordering districts and the federal government. *■ __o—o — , v After Berlin: « ( c For the first time since the blockade of Berlin began, there b seems to be genuine official op- 1 tiinism over the prospect of end- • ing it. For almost a year the socalled cold war has seemed to revolve around the situation in Berlin. If that situation should be cleared up bytsome magic of agreement among the Big Four, what would come next? If the Berlin blockade should be lifted, the cold war would by no means be over. It is reasonable to suppose that the blockade will not be lifted at all except on terms which would prevent either side from making a legitimate claim to a Victory in the battle of Berlin. And probably the Berlin affair can be ended only to clear the way for renewal of the debate about the formation of a German state. That was the chief bone of contention when the blockade was instituted, so we would be right back where we started last June. The Berlin blockade was an effort by Russia to obtain by force concessions which could not be obtained at the conference table. So far the effort has failed. If the blockade is now’ lifted, the Western Powers could regard it as a Russian failure and there-* fore a Western success. But it would not he a success entitling anyone to sit back and relax. The lifting of the blockade would only signal the beginning of a new series of difficult and trying negotiations. But at least it would be progress.

of the neck muscles, or hives. In carrying out this treatment, the preparation was given' by injection into a muscle twice a week. In about three-fourths of the cases, the patients ..had complete relief from the headaches following four injections or two weeks of treatment. In a few others, six injections were required. Several did not benefit by this treatment. The treatment evidently causes no reactions of any great importance. although there may be an occasional sensation of flushing, t If necessary, the injections may be given daily or twice a day. However. tn most instances, the headache is relieved with the first injection. Continued use of the preparation seems, in many instances, to prevent recurrences of the headache. Os course, this type of treatment must be carried out only under the direction of the physician and used in those cases he believes will be benefited by It. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS D.

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN EVEN as she dabbled—it was the only word which fittingly cov- ! ered Debby’s remarks—she wondered if it would be possible to dump the box ot paper napkins with a lighted match on top ot the kindling already in the fireplace. They might make a little smoke that would be seen from the shore. With that rain beating on the roof? Now she was crazy.•'What was that?" A tap on the front window. She wasn't fooling herself. Was it a friend or another heel like the man with the gun? Was he comifig in? What would stop him? Site had left the key in the outside lock. "Sit in that chair and stay there. Don’t move. If the dog barks—” The leveled revolver finished the threat •'Come here, Cocky. Don't you hear the 'Master’s voice'?” Deb realized that her whisper had more carrying power than spoken words. The dog Jumped into her lap. “I suppose you'll shoot us on the principle that you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, for two mur—” “Ssh-sh." He listened. Came two quick taps, then a single. He ’ opened the door a crack. "Couldn't find the notebook.” The harsh whisper which sifted into the cabin was punctuated by hard-drawn breaths as if the speaker had been running. "Nearly brok? my back rowing from the Beechcroft pier. Come out McGregor’s on to us. I'll bet the guy who's been painting the college boathouse was his man. We've got to beat it Remember, they swore they wouldn't help—" “Don't move.” The man holding the door flung tfie warning over his shoulder as Deb Jumped to her feet "What's that infernal noise?" The whistling kettle was putting on its act She sank back in the chair and abandoned the idea of hurling the lighted stemo wrapped in the tablecloth into the fireplace for a smoke signal. As if understanding her disappointment the cocker reached up and licked her cheek. "Who’ve you got in th'ere? Why don't you answer?" The voice seeped through the opening. “The key’s in the lock. Is this a trap? I'm coming in." The door was banged open with such violence that the man holding it dropped the revolver. As he stooped to pick it up Clive Warner brushed past him, kicked shut the door and stopped. “Deb," he whispered. "Deb, what are you doing here alone with—" A tree fell with a crash which shook the cabin. A shower of soot rained down the chimney. Cocxv whined and snuggled closer tn Deb's arms. The kettle kept up its shrill whistle. Her defiant eyes challenged the man staring at her as if she were a visitor from s distant planet and a horrific one at that. So, this is tye setup, she thought, even as she finished his sentence in a tone she hoped was flippantly sophisticated: “What am I doine alone here? Why not alone? Don't be oldfashioned, Clive. Can’t you see? I'm having tea with your palProfessor Romney." ►<-. “Did you drag her Into this?" Clive Warner demanded furiously. "Me? Drag her in? Asif her. Do you think I'm nuts to load myself up with a girl? She butted in, now she’ll take her medicine. I'm off in her boat She * coming with me." "OX bc, she tut Icure gemg

I'm going. She stays here.” Deb drew the first long breath she had drawn since she stepped into the cabin, partly relief for herself, partly gratitude that Clive fiad the decency to protect her, if leaving her alone on the island in a hurricane were protection. Was that a shout ? Every fiber in her body stiffened. If only her heart would stop pounding. If only the kettle would stop whistling so she could hear. Ears alert she listened. The sound again. Was it her imagination, or had a voice shouted, "Deb. Deb.” Had the itv.xi men heard? Apparently not. they had forgotten caution and were arguing angrily. "I said she was going. Better think that over, Warner.” The threat in Romney’s voice blanched Clive’s face. "I can see that you have." « “I’m going, Deb, to look after you.” His shamed voice hurt her. After all, she had believed In him once. “Come quietly and no harm will come to you, 'l swear.” "That’s mighty good of you, Clive.” She rose with the dog in her arms as if preparing to leave. Was she the only one who heard ■that shout? Perhaps it wasn’t a shout Perhaps she was imagining it “I won’t burden you with the care of a girl in your getaway. I haven't the slightest intention of going in that boat Who’s pounding on the door? .. . "Don't come in," she shouted. 'They have a gun-” A hand over her mouth reduced her warning to a gurgle, but she could still see. The door was flung open. 'Take it easy, Deb." It was Tim, Tim in glistening raincoat and dripping slouch hat on the threshold. 'That gun won't help you, Romney. I don't leave a loaded revolver in a suitcase. Take your hand off her mouth, Warner, and Take it off damn quick." The hand came off, but not before Deb had given it a,vicious bite. "Who do you think you are, giving orders here. Grant?" Romney had emerged from his coma of surprise. "This isn’t the' Center. Get busy, Warner, we'll tie him up before we leave with D—" A blow smashed the name back on his lips. That does it, Deb thought, as the two men backed Tim into the corner. He pushed the table with a lamp behind him is he retreated. The cocker yelped and whined as he circled the struggling men, caught the leg of Warner’s trousers and worried it A kick sent him halfway across the room. He sat on his haunches, blinking as if wondering how he came there. She must do something to help Tim. She was standing here like a dummy, her body shaken by the heavy thud of her heart The ipen had forgotten she was tn the world. Suppose they knocked out Tim, hurt him seriously? They would leave him here alone, perhaps to die. Between the noise of the storm outside, the queer sounds it was making in the chimney, the whistling kettle, Cocky*a whineberk. and the men's heavy breathing, any shout of hers would be unheard. Ker eyes flashed aruund the cabin for inspiration, lingered on the great fireplace. Was her idea of a moke signal the answer? The lamp and table went over with a crash. With half her attention on the struggling men, she cautiously lifted the kettle and placed it on the chair behind her. Its whistle stopped. With her left hand she picked up the fiammg stemo, with her right jerked the

cloth from the table with a speed that sent china and silver crashing and tinkling to the floor, and flung both straight into the fireplace. The blaze lighted'the room. She added the box ot paper napkins. The kindling caught and flared. She must keep it going. Her manuscript would help feed— For the first time she noticed the brass Cape Cod lighter. It was full of kerosene oil. She seized it and recklessly poured its contents on the Are. “Godamighty!” The bellow in the chimney was followed by two dangling legs, a chubby body in a blackened uniform, topped by a soot-streaked face. McGregor jumped clear of the fire and dragged after him another begrimed figure. Tears I streaming from their eyes had left white courses on their cheeks. Romney and Warner had stopped their furious attack on Tim to stare tn open-mouthed unbelief. He was righting the table. Deb rigidly controlled a hysterical surge of laughter. "Stop 'em, Sergeant Don't let ’em get away," roared the chief of the county police as the two men bolted for the door. "Who I thought up the dirty trick of lighting that fire?" he growled as he , slapped out sparks on his clothing. “I—l did. All by myself. It—it was supposed to be a smoke signal," Deb explained, even as she crushed back wave after wave of laughter interspersed with sobs of relief. Tim was safe. “Anything more little useful can do to help, Sandy?" "You done plenty, Miss Deb, you almost put the sergeant and me out of business, lucky our clothes were wet" McGregor slapped at a spark he had overlooked. The blaze in the fireplace had died to a heap of charred cloth with a glowing .edge and a few blackened sticks of kindling. There was light enough in the cabin to make out the sergeant, hand on the holster at his hip, standing between Romney and Warner in front of the door. Tim touched a match to the lamp. “That's the stuff," McGregor approved as light glowed. “Now we can see what we are doing." "Sure you know what you are doing,” Romney demanded truculently. “Can’t a man have a date with a girl on an island without calling out the police?" “That's enough of that," Tim interrupted furiously. "Suppose you start a real fire for us, Mr. Grant, and let me handle this,”. McGregor suggested. "Miss Randall is shivering." He doesn't know how right he is, Deb thought, now that the crisis is past my knees just aren’t there. "The storm seems to be blowing itself out," the chief went on. “We’ll wait till the waves on the lake subside a little before we take these two men back in the police boat It gave us an awful shaking up crossing from the college boathouse." • "Police boat!" Romney ex- ■ claimed. “You don't mean that you are arresting us?" "Funny you guessed so quick." ! McGregor stepped into the middle I of the room. Tim knelt in front I of the fireplace and laid fresh ' kindling as Deb handed it to him. Was thia real or would she waken in her blue and pink room ’ at home to find it a nightmare? McGregor was right, the storm • was clearing. la the west the setI ting sun was coloring lingering clouds with splashes of red, scarI let, crimson, ruby and garnet with [ swirls of purple and violet i (T 9 Be Cmitiaaedj , j
