controversial matters "should be ex-
cluded from the oonveesation at this
time; only those things 'calculated to
produlce a pleasant reaction should be
encouraged for discussion at meal-
time. ,
'Breakfast, in my opinion, should
be an important meal. At this time
your stomach has had the longest
rest that it gets in the twenty-four
hours, and is empty. It should there-
fore be in the best condition fox the
reception of a substantial meal. It
is also important that your rising
hour should !lye so adjusted that am-
ple time is provided to make thie
meal a leisurely one.
If at any meal -tithe you are over-
tired, an attempt should be made to
get ten or, better, fifteen minutes
rest lying down before eating. Dur-
ing this period complete relaxation
should be the aim, and the mind only
allowed to occupy itself with thoughts
of past pleasant happenings. If it is
impossible to take this suggested
rest, it would be better to eat very
sparingly.
While I do not believe it a geed
plan to emphasize the mechanics of
eating, still I think we should all
cultivate the practice of chewing
our food thoroughly. 13y cis doing,
when this food is swallowed it 'has
already undergone the first stages
of digestion. This, too, will lessen
the desire for drinking large quan-
tities of fluid with the meal, which is
objectionable: While there is per-
haps no objection to a small quantity
of .e.old water at the beginning of
the meal, I am trot alone in the be-
lief that drinking a tumblerful 09
ice -water at this moment is a harm,
ful practice, because it chills the
stomach, lessens the flood supply
and unnecessarily ,dilutes the gastric
oc
juices. The five or six glasses
water that it is advisable to drink
daily should be taken between meals.

There is a w
Y
�
for headaches. They eoccue • at all
ages and are far mare -common a-
mong young children than is gener-
ally .'suspected. The .occurrence o?
headache means that there is some-
thing wrong somewhere in the body.
There is an acute and very painful
form` of headache known as "mig`
rain," which appears to run in fain-
iliee.
lElyestlain is probably the most
common cause of the condition. It is
not necessary for the person to do
what is known as close Work to from eyesuf-

strain.As long as the
Use of the eyes causes abnormal
strain, whether this be from near em
distant work, or from poor lighting,
headache is to be expected as a re-
sult.
Inflanuntaion causes pain, and so
it is that any inflammation in the
head or in parts which are close to
the head is often felt as headache.
Inflammation is usually due to in-
fection in the head; the common sites
ef infection are the sinuses and the
teeth. Headaches may therefore be
associated with infected teeth or
with sinus disase.
lAs one symptom, headache occurs
in very many diseases, particularly
those in which there is high fever.
When some important organ of the
body is not functioning properly, one.
evidence of how the whole body may
be upset is the occurrence of head.
aches. So• it is that anaemia anct
nephritis give rise to headache.
Increased pressue within the head
causes pain. The pain may be due
to increased blood -pressure or to
some growing tumour. Ur either
case, there is headache.
There is a considerable difference
in the susceptibility of individuals
to headaches. 'Some people seldom,
if ever, have a headache, while,oth-
ere develop headaches from the
slightest disturbances. Why this is
so we do nob know. Those who are
prone to headaches may suffer from
them as a result of lack of fresh air,
undue excitement, work or fatigue.
Headaches are often associated
with constipation. There aro those
who believe that such headaches are
due to the absorption of toxic 01•
