Although the public has been Men
all supplied with articles and pam-
phlets, there is a tendency in these
publications to lay stress on fads, and
the result is that unimportant and
even obsolete methods are given a
prominence that must detract from
the value of the present movement.
Surgeons at the front insist that the
war has two main medical lessons to
teach. In tke first place the more
open figliting has already change.' the
character of wounds in a notable man-
ner, aecondly, the disability cases
are due in a great measure to the
difficulty of employing orthopaedic
measures with the present number of
surgeons. Highly trained orthopaedic
surgeons, being specialists, are not a
large class of practitioners:, and the
French and British authorities have
lately seen the necessity of taking
the problem in hand. The result has
been the centres where these surgeons
can collect and treat the largest pos-
sible number of disabled men in the
early stage of their iuturies.
Saab. centres are now in active op-
eration in France and England under
tho direction of experts like Professor
Bergonie and Sir John Collie. The
sort of material on which they work
is strikingly illustrated in the reports
which have just been published. Ortho-
paedic surgery is briefly that form of
'surgery which recalls disabled men
,to lite by giving them back some of
the joy of living in the restoration of
an injured limb oe nerve or in the
straightening of an injured joint. In
other • words the skilled surgeon is
able to put the pieces together again,
and experience shows that this work
can be better done at first hand. or
when the injury is received, than by
any subsequent process of training.
Por the wounds coming in are fre-
quently wounds of the arms and legs
which cause shortening of the limb
or the loss of skilled movement
through nerve injury, and these it is
found -are susceptible to wondarful
bgli'ei.-We are :tor the poor saints came easily after
Although the value of these cannot
be overestimated, it would be a mis-
take to suppose that they can ever
take tho place or tho orthopaedic
oiliness now established near the front.
These are ainong tho greatest achieve-
ments a war surgery. It has been
found that vocaLional centres did not
always attract the discharged mon,
The fact, for example, that a disabled

living in some new occupation and
thus become independent, was a draw-

Daily oeercise, in the form of walk-
ing, will keep one from having. head-
ache. Tho man or woman rho is in
the habit of walking several relies
every day rarely suffers from. pain in
the head. Savages seldom suffer from
headaches because they take sufficient
physical exercise.
Brain workers frequently suffer
from headaches which are due to in-
sufficient blood supply in the brain.
When conditions aro such that a brain
worker cannot manage to take a brisk
walk three or four miles a day, he can
take exercises at home, Dr. Leonard
Felix Fluid, in the New York 'Medical
Journal of December 15, 1017, gives
the following suggestions for over-
coming the distressing symptoms re-
sulting from insufficient blood supply
in the brain. He says:
"Those suffering frequently from
headachewill derive benefit from
performing this exercise in bed before
arising in the morning. Lying on
your back in bed, raise your head until
you can see your toes. Confine the
movement to the muscles at the front
of tho neck; there should be no move-
ment of the back. Next, turn over
and support the weight of your body
on your toes and on your hands, Raise
the head and lower it until the
muscles at the back of the head are
fatigued. Confine the movement to
the muscles of the neck. -This exer-
cise increases the blood supply of the
brain, makes the neck full and round
and will tend to reduce a double chin.
If you should become dizzy while per-
forming It discontinue the exercise
and resume it on the following morn-
ing."
Although lack of sufficient exercise
is Use commonest cause of headache,
this painful affection may be caused
by eye -strain, indigestion and consti-
pation, the last two conditions, how -
over, rarely are found among those
who have an active outdoor life,
foed even at the present high price.
Me luncheon should be a nettrishine,
..neal-potatoes or riee-riee padding,
a potato salad, bread and butter ---and
lam or other sweet and milk, cocoa or
ehocolato to drilla'. Candy, cake and
all other sweet substance should bo
eaten at meals or dessert if one would
escape having digestive disturbances

The sick headache =entreats itself
by a heavy pain in the temples, Ac-
ompanied by an offensive breath,

learning the cause of her sick head-

has violated the laws of banith by
worrying, loss of sleep, by irregular
eating, by injudicious eating of pastrY,
etc., by an improper or insufficient
clothing of the feet, or by becoming

It is believed that many derange-
ments of the digestive system and
even such serious ailments as appen-
dicitis are often caused directly or in-
directly by constipation. But apart
from these serious eonsequences con-
stipation is a condition to be avoided.
Wheii the bodily wastes are retained in
the human body they cause physical
discomfort by reason of their preseme,
and they also tend to render the blood
impure by the reabsorption of effete
matter and by preventing the elimina-
tion of other impurities from the
blood. Sufferers from constipation
are sour -tempered, fretful. have fre-
quent headaches and aro disagreeable,
and this decreases a worker's effict-
alley. Constipation is either ceetted
by lack of exercise, improper food or
improper personal habits. Those V*Lo
lead an active outdoor life are usually
free from this ailment.
Many cases of constipation can be
overcome by proper diet and proper
habits. If you are not in the habit
of walking begin to take a two or
three-mile walk every day. Begin to
drink water, one or more glasses cf
water upon rising in the morning seel

constipation is of frequent occurrence,

tables acid cereals in your diet and di-
minish the amount of pastry and

try to arrange to do considerable
walking every day. Walk horae from
work, walk at the noon hour. Exercise
is necessary to keep one in 'health, and
it is necessary to prevent headache,
indigestion, constipation and other
ills.
A dull pain in the forehead which
persists and is not relieved by taking
exercise or laxative medicines, is usu-
ally due to eye strain. After an ocu-
list has been consulted and proper
glasses obtained the pain then will
dieappear. Unnecessary straining of
the eyes should be avoided even when
fitted with glasses.
The headache arising from indiges-
tion may be recognized by a feeling of
dull weight in the head, accompanied
by a coated tongue, cold fingers and
aching eyes. This form is experien-
ced frequently by men upon their re-
turn to dutylefter a few days absence
following pay day and by women who
eat little breakfast and believe they
can obtain their nourishment from
candy and pastry. To cure headaches
of this kind the persons suffering from
them must realize that gross intem-
perance in the matter of candy and
pastry is likely to result in digestive
derangement of almost a serious char-
acter as excessive indulgence in alco-
holic liquor. In each case the serious
disturbance of tho digestive functions
is accompanied by the attendant head-
ache of indigestion. The remedies for
this form of headache are a rational
diet, fresh air and physical exercise.
Eat a raw breakfast -such as ?Tula
stewed or raw, a large saucor oatmeal
with milk or tream, broad and butter
with a glass of hot milk er a cup of

solved, or to the imperial Parliament.
He applied for the formation of a

Sir Horace's pian was not received
with favor by any section. The Free-
man's Journal, representing the Irish
Party, objected to the formation oi
another Irish party "Ja the grunted
that Ireland has parties enough and
that its difficulties are "caused as
much by internal dissensions as by
external betrayals." John Sweetman,
for many years a leading member of
the Sinn Fein party, and one of the
few wealthy men in its ranks, wrote
to say:
"I cannot agree that. England can'
now settle tho future government of
Ireland. She must now govern Ire-
land despotically till the Peace Con-
ference, and it, would be for her bene-
fit to govern us with a little coalmen
sense."
This view that nothing can be done
about Homo Rule till the end of the
war is also the view of the Unieniets,
and William Jellett, the most active
of the irreconcilcd Southern Uelonists,
has put forward his opiniofl as to the
immediate government of Ireland :n
much the same sense as Jelin
Sweetman.

With the French Army in Franco,
cable: The first phase of the battle
of the Aisne and Oleo has put the
French in solid possession of the en-
tire south bank of the Oise, west of
the Aillette, and also the Arnett°
River from the Oise to Pont St. Marti.
At a point near where 1? is crossed
by the road from Chauny to Soissons.
General Mangins' men along the Ail-
ette and. further south, at Crecy -all -
Mont, Pommiers and Juvigny, com-
mend this important road all the way
from Soissons to the Oise. They also
command the Laon railroad, Wilt.%
from the region of Coucy-le-Chateau
northward runs nearly parallel with
that road.
The Germans aro thus thrown, back
upon the hilly forest region of Cottey
for eommunication between their
troops operating on the Oise above the
Allette and their troops on the Aisne
east of Soissons.
"Do you have any difficulty in pay-
ing your debts?" "None, whatever,"
replied the impecunious eitleen.

in not paying them." - Birmingham
