I look around for the cause. Usually I loosen my hair. It is not generally known Hint hair done up tightly and pinned close to the head will cause headache. Try letting the hair fall loose, or braid or pin it loosely in a a different style. Sometimes it is my collar which is too tight, and when I take it off my headache disappears. Again it is caused by tight or uncomfortable shoes, or by highheeled shoes, which may feel comfortable but which will cause t.h-e trouble. ADVERTISING FOR FEDERAL BUILDING SITES.
