Address jar, Andrew la Currier, care of Nilson Publishing Co., 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto, HEADACHE The frequency and variety of head-• aches have stimulated the medicine'' manufacturers to devise means for their relief, and the market has been; flooded with their products. Headache is a very comprehensive' term. It may be a simple neuralgia due to disturbance of the nerves oi- one side of the head, the forehead, or the top or hack of the head. The blood current of the head may be unaffected in such cases, or there may be less blood than usual with re -f suiting pallor of the face. Or the face may be red, the head hot and throbbing, with a painful sense of fullness and congestion. Again, there may be dizziness in addition to the head pain, and perhaps nausea and vomiting, theee symptoms being due to some trouble in the diges-; Live apparatus, I Yet other headaches are clue to some trouble in the eyes, the ears, the kidneys, to growths within the skull, or a thnusend other causes. Is it reasonable to imagine that all these different kinds of headaches can be cured by the same medicine,' and is it not expecting too much of any powder or tablet that it will be equally useful for all of them? It is safe to say, therefore, that any medicine which promises to cure all kinds of headache, is n fraud. Furthermore, headache may ate merely one of the noteworthy symp- toms in it more or less important disease, and a headache powder, no matter how good it may be, may o ly mask and obscure other _symptoms, unless it goes to the cause of the dis- ease, which so far as I know no headache powder can do. What, for instance, could such a medicine do in headache proceeding from turner of the brain? It would be unlikely to produce any impression upon the tumor; it might not even relieve the pain, and if a considerable quantity were taken, it might cause wealmess ane} faintness i i Margaret Deland, thr noted Ameri- can author, writes from Paris: "Over lir America we thultghl we knew some- thing nihout the war and the condi- tions iu Prone°, but when you get here the difference le as the differ• ence between studying ,the laws of electricity and being struck by light- ning.

If any of the headache powders'. does nut have such a depressing ac- tion, I do not know which it is; and if all of them have this quality, none should he given unlees we know at the time what the condition of the pati- ent's heart really is, Even with people whose hearts are apparently sound, some are extremely sensitive to the action of such drugs as headache powders are composed of, even in small doses.

Moreover, physicians also ehould realize their responsibility in pre- scribing them; and give them with the same precautions which they are supposed to use in giving other drugs which are commonly admitted to be dangeron. o OcUP 1 cur OUT AND FOLD 0114 DOTTED ,LINES a mar5/4,wrm.+..51.-1322u,mon.wamM.17a•.-,+rc,..atcn+sra+uc •nt=1=6.12.0 HOW IS YOUR PERRY PATCI I was earprised to the! how few her- ries- are grown by farmers for their own use. I had always imagined every farm world have the fruit gar- den a, certainly a: they heti the vege- table garden, es I hal grown Meek- berges, st,awbe rice, mod grapes and found them so little cr;p2riiie or trou- ble, and the fre_h n sit so much supe- rior to the crueh ed, half mouldy, and otherwise undesirable fruits purchas- ed at the grocery. Of course, nice hnme-grown fruit from the store is all right, but that is !chat you chin hardly find unless there is a regular fruit farm in the vicinity, for farmers that do not grow for their own use will not grow for others. r Consider- ing the value of theze fruits and the pleasure We get from their use I can see no possible reason wiry they should not be more generally planted. Let's see what the farmers say. A latch that Didn't Bear One farmer told me he had a patch of strawberries that never bore and Ise just plowed them up. He told of eeveral patches in his neighborhood that had run out in a few years and, while they blonmed every year bore no fruit. Now I had had some experi- ence with ,lust such a patch years ago. There was a big patch of berries en the place when we moved there, but we were told it bore none at all. We plowed two furrows together, then left a strip six inches wide, plowed two more furrow; tugeth•:r, and con- tinued Dile until the patch tea, made into these sex -inch rote;. We 'ad- ver;cd the middles and set out rocas of new plants, setting alternate rows of .taminete plants and young plants from the old patch, buying the stamin- ates. We fi Tred that the old patch had been allowed to go and the strong- er al owing infertile: flowered variety Mid trilled out the weaker growing stcamfuate variety• if there had been such planted in the drat place. Our eupne hien was seemingly correct, for we got a fair crop tient year and a good crop tine next, after which we removed all the trace,, of the old rows and kept the new !•tar's !'rum :Tossing the middles. Um preventing the pistillate from crowding out the stem- mata if you have a patch that is not hearing, nine chances out of ten this is the trouble. If you do not want to deer up the whole patch and renew, just clear room for a row through the middle and plant it thick- ly with a fertile variety, setting the plants so early in the spring that they will bloom in season and fairly freely, and you will get berries the first: year, for a few staminate plants will ferti- lize quite a patch of bermes, especially if you have plenty of bees around. Easy Way to Clare for Blackberries A farmer complained that taking i course, nothing could L expected, and nothing was received. It does take some attention to keep a blackberry retell in condition, but it is worth it, and fete fruits will give a better re- count of themselves. If the farmer is too buoy or not intern -ted enough to give good culture let them haul out a load of manure and mulch the patch fairly deep and thin will keep down the weeds and give the fruit a chance; for blackberries are very hardy in plant, and not easily discouraged. If the mulching ie done at once after planting there is less likelihood of the vines sprouting so much, fur the roots will not be disturbed. Grapes Are Easy to Grow Grapes can he grown anywhere, over arbors, along fences, over win- dows, or in vineyards on hillsides that are fit for nothing else, and these can be mulched to advantage, also. have grapes anyway, for this is one of the finest fruits grown and the very easiest to have, and sure to produce almost every season. Care is neces- sary for hest results but fruit will be borne without much attention. -Prun- ing will give finer fruit, but I have seen large quantities of very good fruit grown on vines running along a fence without having been touchers in any way for several years. If yon want to have something fur nothing, just stick a grape vine in an odd cor- ner and eat the fruit thereof. Th's Is not advocating planting and then leaving to grow without ease, but it is saying that if care cannot be giv- en plant anyway and do the hest you fruit anyway. Clare for your fruit in can for them and you will have some the most approved style if you will, but if you won't plant it and care for it the best you feel you can, and then take what you get, and .yeu will get more than you linen earned, you may be sure of that, Growing is Cheaper than Buying I have seen farmt•re hewing. end car- rying home crates of these fruits to put up for winter u<e and pay- out mare for a very limited supply than it would have taken to plant; and care for a latch of their own. A friend a mine picked as numb as three dol- lars worth of strawberries from litre rows eixty feet long, and did this at every picking during the height of the season. That pateh cost about a dollar and a half for Rants, took about fifteen minutes after every rain the first season to run through it with the wheel hoe, and probably an hour or two during the summer to cut run- ners and pull weeds that escaped the hoe. After the first year it was mulched in the fall. the mulch stirred in in the epring after the fruiting, sea - eon, when a good hoeing was given all care of blackberries was too much'; the space between the rows. A iter trouble. He had planted a patch but: the first heavy rain another mulch woe the sad and weeds had taken it and given, manure from the barn being he wouldn't keep it clean for the fruit.; used for this mulch.

If you are persistent in this, after a while she forgets the. habit. But in the pasture lot a different plan must be used. The vow can be tied then by having a surcingle around her body and a rope extending from the surcingle to either side of the hetuf so that she cannot get her head to her udder. This, however, pre- vents hor from fighting flies and is really quite a punishment. I think the hest way probably is to get at almost any hardware store what is known its a calf-wenner. This is an arrangement that is fastened in the nose like a bull ring and extend- ing all around on this ring are long, sharp spikes so that when she goes to suck -herself these spikes are prodded into the udder and flank and she soon gives it up. Cows can eat fairly well out of a manger with an arrangement of this kind in the noxa, They seem to get along on pasture all right. After a reasonable length of time if Olio don't break the cow of the ]orbit, i' I would dispose of leer for beef he- cause it is a nuisance to have to loop ;this thing up every year. A Lettuce Tip.

[The End Of The Job 11 "Miss Jameson wants to know how the cost of provisions in the: past month compares with the cost. in July, and 'what recommendations yuu would make for the fall,” said Christine Garvine as she came into the office. Helena Erskine looked gayly tip from her neatly kept desk. "Ply compliments t, Miss Jameson, and I am leaving Saturday. I'll !make out the comparative costs, if I have time; but as for recommenda- i'lens, they fall to 'he lot of -my Un. fortunate succe.eeor! All of which j you will report to MIs$ Jameson in one of your own tactful translations!" Christine laughed; no one could re- sist Helena when she was in one of her gay moods. Then her face grew w•iatful. "Cif course I'm glad for you, for the work is heavy here. But we're going to miss you so!" Heavy! It weighs a ton a day! I've felt like a new creature since I decided to leave. No one ought to drupe the way I did, I leave that piece of advice to my successor.. It's been so blessed to let go! But you just 'better had' miss me!" "You'll be missed, all right. I've stiyed three:ph three changes. I know what it means ---the breaking in of new secretaries." " "That's not missing me," Helena a i• .'hen rly. protested t, s, "I refuse to flatter you; you're spoiled enough already," Christine re- torted. She turned away `slowly, and then came back. "Don't you suppose you could leave a few suggestions.? It would help the new secretary so much." But Yelena only laughed. "I haven't any. I'm emancipated, I tell you." After Christine left, Helena sat for a few moments with her hands be- hind her head. It was so glorious to be free! A dozen persons had come to her that morning for various direc- tions; she had refused them all. They were questions that dealt with the future, and she had no future to deal with there. Presently she ran over to F.dith Seaburv's office; Miss Sea - bury, too, was leaving for another field. She looked up and nodded. "You may enjoy a silent session with me if you want to, but don't you dare speak! I'm up to my eyes in work." "But why?" Helena asked, too amazed to obey the injunction. It was Miss Seahury's turn to look amazed. "Why? You know as well as I do, Melena Erskine. As if you weren't doing the same thing! Be- cause I'd be ashamed not to leave my work here in the best possible shape, and because I ward to make things as easy as possible for the tela secretary. It's always hard enough at first, in a new place. I can't work as fast as you can; that's ether I'm still at it when you are all theough. A swift color flushed Helena's face. She started to speak—then, without a word, she turned lurck toiler own office. A Plea To The Housewife!. Tarte the keenest interest in the voluntary rationing scheme.
