MohI of This Suffering Suhl to Be Preventable. London I>aily Mail. ; "My mother always has headaches," wrote a bright little girl in an essay on "Mothers." The child was manifestly surprised, as if there was something wrong in having headaches and that mothers could and should avoid them. I Headaches are not so common now as formerly, when every woman regard? ed them as part of her lot In life, but they still arc far more common than they need be. Most of them are of our own mak? ing. It Is said that there are 100 caus? es of headache and at least three fourths of those are avoidable with a lU'.'.e care. "vv.mt of open *ir exercises Is one of tho most prolif.c of all causes. Nearly all men go oct of doors every day, but a vast body of women do not leave I the house for two. three, four and even six days running. Now the air In any house is always less pure than the air outside. In the evening when doors and windows are usually closed, It becomes more or less poisonous to the brain and nerves. And a woman who breathes nothing else but this air for 24 hours must be ex? tremely healthy if she escapes head? aches. Added to this unwholesome con? dition there is very often want of ex? ercise. The blood thus not only be? comes impure but It stagnates more or less and the tissues of the brain | are constantly bathed in stale and tainted, fluid, making a headache in? evitable. Then the homekeeping life and the bad air combined produce constipation and an anaemic state. The woman living under these conditions becomes pallid, listless and depressed. To avoid this sort of headache wo-, men should go out at least two hours J every day, wet or fine. If some inter-1 esting reason can bo found for the OUtlng so much the better, and there are hosts of available reasons. A woman can do her shopping in I installments and spread it over the Wholf week; sho can find one friend j or another to visit every day, or most ! days; she can Join a club, visit pic- i turc galleries, go out for lunch or tea j In a cafe, meet her husband at the, station, take out the children Instead of sending them with the nurse, cycle, play tennis and golf etc., and as a last resort may take the dog for an airing. This systematic < pen air exercise would be half the battle against naost varieties of headache. And it should be combined with open windows. It is astonishing how 1 insensitive women are > bad air. They will sit all the evening in a room with closed doors and windows and! positively deadly air. And then they 1 will go to sleep in a room where the j window}* have probably long (l?een eloned to shut out the misty "un- ( wholesome" night air. The night air Is not unwholesome, It is actually purer than the day air; j and If tho bedroom windows arc kept; wide open through the whole 24 hours headaches will he very much rarer than they are. There is also the headache which follows soon after eating, and this is rather difficult to cure. It arises from a combination of causes; because the victim cats unsuitable food, perhaps oats too quickly and perhaps also bustles about and gets flurried before I sitting down. Many women make it a point to criticise the cooking and find fault with the serving of din? ner at the very worst time possible. No part of our body is so much dis? turbed by emotion of any kind as the' stomach. If a diner is Irritable, or! angry, or worried, or depressed during the meal, the stomach responds by re? fusing to work. The consequence is that a woman who does not control her emotions hi meals is likely to rise from the table with congested brain, an uncomfort? able weight in her str mach and short? ly after comes on the headache. Med Iclnc Is not the cure for tihs, but tran qulllty and a cheerful spirit when eat? ing. The strenuously denied tight lac? ing is a hedlpful cause for the after dinner headache. At meals all cloth lug should be loose. A good way to manage this headache is to take fruit only f<?r breakfast and have an early luneh. Hut, of course, all the causes must be removed. The congestive headache is marked I by a flushed face, red, glittering eye?, giddiness after stooping and a burst? ing pain in the forehead and back of the head. It may arise from great ex? citement of mind or intense depress? ing emotion; from Indigestion, great fatigue or even from insuflUdent cloth? ing of the limbs and feet, it la well in this case to eat sparingly for a time and abstain from pepper, mus? tard and other condiments, Holding the aims above the head glvea relief, and so does can d? Cologne to the forehead and temples, One should keep the feet warm and sleep with the head high. .lust the opposite I* Hie anaemic in ad.o he, :i \ cry common \ ttrlety. 1 Weakly an<4 old people and those suf ! fcring from nervous debility are par ! ticularly liable to this form which is ? sort of gnawing pain at the top of the head, but sometimes also in the forehead. The eyes are dilated and there Is a tendency to faintness. This patient should lie quietly, with the head low, and put a hot-water bot? tle to the top of the head. Half aj teaepoonftll of sal volatile in a glass of water or a cup of strong beef tea or of coffee helps. The sick or bilious headache is of I ^n hereditary. It comes on gener? ally when the system is out of tone In people of a nervous temperament. The 1 attack may be actually caused by mental overwork, grief, anxiety, wor? ry, fatigue, late hours and errors in diet. The patient needs absolute quiet and rest. The feet should be kept warm. A hot bath often gives relief! or a mustard plaster to the back of : the neck. So, sometimes, does a cup > I of strong coffee. And the doctor can do a good deal with drugs. Between Attacks a vegeterian diet is good. In j any case fats, sweets, tea, coffee and I indigestible food of all kinds must be ? ' avoided. Twelve Health Commandments. New York American. Plain food and the absence off every worry is, it is agreed by every authority, the first great secrot of preserving youth and attaining what is known as a "green old age," but It is plain to almost every one that those who can free themselves from worry are few indeed. As for the plainest of food, few people who can afford it will adhere to this rule. The business man, the laboring man, the busy, hardworking house? wife and shopgirl and ever-active social class cannot attain freedom from worry and few of them will stick to the coarse food diet, yet there arc a number of rules which, if followed, will work wonders in the all-Important matter of preserving youth and arriving at a rugged old age. One of the best authorities on this subject is Dr. Arnold Lorand, of Carlsbad. He agrees with Seneca that "man does not die; he kills him? self," and Dr. Lorand has grouped some important rules, which he calls 'The twelve commandments' for the preservation of a green old age." He points out that the people who live In the poorhousc attain a re? markable old age, and he attributes this to the fact that they eat coarse food, not too much of that, have reg? ular hours for sleep, and having no fortune, have nothing to worry about. Hut for the other people, the busy folks in all walks of life, he offers aid in his commandments.' Most of the evils that befall us in this world," declares Dr. Lorand, "especially pre? mature old age and early death, are. | in our opinion, solely due to our own negligence; and to avoid such a fate we recommend the following pre? cepts: "1. To be as much as possible in the open air, and especially in the sunshine, and to take plenty of ex? ercise, taking special care to breathe deeply and rgularly. "2. To live on a diet consisting of meat once a day, eggs, cereals, green vegetables, fruit and raw milk of healthy cows (as much as the stom geh will puermit.) and to masticate properly. "u. To take a bath daily, and, in addition, onco a week or once every two weeks to take a sweat bath (if the heart can stand it.) "4. To have a daily action of the bowels, and in addition to take a: purgative once a week if there is any tendency of constipation. "3. To wear very porous under? wear, preferably cotton; porous cloth? ing, loose collars, light hat (if any), and low shoes. "(>. To go to bed early omd to rise early. "7. To sleep in a very dark and a very quiet room, and with a window I open, and not to sleep less than six and one-half hours or more than seven and one-half, and for women eight and one-half. "8. To have one complete day's rest in each week without reading or writing. "!>. To avoid mental emotions and also worries about things that have I happened and cannot be altered, as well as about things that may hap i pen. Never to say unpleasant things, and to avoid listening to such, if pos? sible. i "10. To get married, and. if a widow or widower, to marry again. "li. To be temperate in the use of alcohol and tobacco, and also in the use of tea and coffee. "12. To avoid places that are over? heated, espesctally by steam, and bad lv ventilated. To replace or rein? force the filiations of the organs which may have become changed by age or disease, by means of extracts from the corresponding organs of healthy animals; hut only to do this under tin- strict supervision of medi? cal men who ate llmi.;hl familial with the functions of the ductless glands." Dr. Lorand's "commandmenta" are so simple that almost anyon* 1 fol? low them. At least almost, a.l of them can he observed by people in every walk of life. It takes train? ing to avoid worry, hut ?hc deep breathing is equally important and should never be neglected. Women Motorists. Women motorists are increasing in numbers; and this fact is said to be stimulating manufacturers to build cars with especial reference to femi? nine abilities and limitations. "Crank? ing up" has heretofore certainly been j a man's work. When the self-starter has been perfected, however, as It now promises to be, and becomes simple, ine?.pensive and reliable, about the last mechanical impendl ment to a woman's handling her own car will be removed. Even now the clutch, which used to require a man's muscular power to disengage, gener? ally needs only the strength which the average woman can easily exert, and new devices make it possible for women to adjust tires. The Journal of the American Medical Association discusses this subject in a recent is? sue, with special reference to the physical effects in women of continued motoring. Driving a motor car from April to November should be a healthful rec? reation, both physical and mental, j for many women, provided the exercise be ?vithin reasonable limits and the j car a runabout or light roadster?one ' at any rate, not too heavy for a wo- t man to handle. The "weaker sex" are naturally quick of eye and deft of wrist, two qualifications, aside from I sufficient strength, which are needed, j Women are in general more excitable and of less steady judgment than men, shortcomings which may prove disastrous in emergencies, or which might render it advisable to confine motoring efforts to areas outside the crowded portion of the larger cities. I It offers much pleasure and benefit, J perhaps, and may be indulged In j when the other forms of exercise or sport are unavailable or unsuitable. Rational motoring affords opportunity for plenty of fresh air, with improv? ed appetite and increased zest of life. The ever-changing scenes may soothe and satisfy the emotions, and hither? to unfamiliar aspects of civilization may interest and divert from intro? spection. There is, however, quite a formid? able array of troubles, nervous and otherwise, which have been charged against motoring, and which point to the fact that the sport at best is a somewhat strenuous one for women. The ailments for which the motor car may be held responsible are due almost entirely, however, to speeding and to the fear of accents which might be engendered ts tre result of this. The "auto-eye" is a spasm of the ciliary muscles (which govern acom modations for distances); to this those who have errors of refraction are specially prone; speeding over an un? known country, through devious roads, the sight being constantly and rapidly attracted by objects now near and now In the distance, makes abnormal strain on the visual mechanism. Wind and dust, coupled with high speed, induce any degree of con junctival inflammation, from a hyperemia to a contagious lesion; the wearing of goggles largely obvi? ates this. Auto-leg is a cramp due to sitting in one position for hours, while the veins and muscles are un? der strain from consecutive shocks and joltings over bad roads. Nerve strain and nerve exhaustion followed by hysteria and neurasthenia, are not rare, especially among young women who motor extensively. Such attacks come on relaxation after si rain in a rapid run over many miles, but they are not ordinarily serious in healthy women; but may be in those not up to par as to their nervous sys tents. The excitement of motoring j may appeal to such women. The j ever-increasing stimulation inherent in speeding may sooner or later end ? In prostration. For such cases entire I rest and complete abandonment of motoring are absolutely essential. Pole's Passion for Gambling. The trial at Crakow of a Polish ad? vocate named Steinfeld who haa come to grief through gambling has been tbe oooaalon of some curious revela? tions about the bold which this vice haa ou businesa men In Austrian Po? land. Dr. Gtetnfeld's wife In her endeavor to kee.-> her husband out of temptation tried the plan of never leaving him out of her eight even when he wect to bis face. Tho lawyer then made a practica of going to b?d ee-'ly and rising at 4 In the morning before his wife was awake In order to hurry off to tho so-called "Monte Carlo" at Crakow, which he would find ?tili in full swing at that hour. When stay? ing at hotels during the summer ra would arrange meetings with other card players In the bathroom and play : there for hours, while he told hla wife , that he wai taking a cold water cure PHENOMENA OF AIR. Connor Explains The Erccntrkitles of the U md family. . j aKnsas City Star. What is a tornado? A cyclone,? A hurricant? A gale? And why? Col. P. Connor, of the Kansas City Weather Bureau, has received those inquiries many times of late. "It's all a matter of barometric pressure," Mr. Connor elucidates. "There are very few violent atmos? pheric disturbances in the winter time, because the atmosphere is pret? ty well chilled to the same temper? ature. But in the springtime the hot and cold strata of air become ner? vous. Then follows a rarifled centre in some locality. "Now It must be known that air par? ticles are very sensitive and selflcsh as well. So that when such a rarlfica tlon takes place all those air particles on the outside want to get in there and take the seats In the front row. When they all get started toward the cen? tre a gentle whirling motion is set up, always moving In the opposite di? rection of clock hands. "That movement is a cyclone. It sweeps over an area of 1,000 miles or so at a rate of 30, 40, 60 or 60 miles an hour. Those movements drop an occasional thunder storm or two along the way. Were it not for these cyclones this great Western country would be arid and dry, for they al? ways carry the clouds along with them that contain the rain. "The tornado? Well, down in the southeastern quadrant of the cyclone, probably 100 or 200 miles from the centre of the cyclone, Old Sol i warm? ing up the earth. The earth's heat is thrown back in turn and warms the atmosphere and it becomes light. And all the while this whirling motion of the cyclone continues, bringing down the colder, heavier air. When this light, heated air bumps into the cold wave there is nothing left for the cold air to do except drop. And with the dropping it sets off along the earth at a fast pace in a whirling, rapid movement, while the warm air goes scooting up to the clouds. "That is the tornado. It shoots along at the rate of an express train and roars like 100 locomotives puffing and snorting together. And woe be? tide the house that gets in the way. Finally the disconcerted bunch of air layers go on up into the northern part of the cyclone. There they get cool? ed off and calm down. "A gale is just a plain old breeze that gets up a steady, hard speed. It changes to a hurricane when it pass? es the 60-mile-an-hour mark. Never get frightened at a cyclones?but look out for the little tight between the air layers when they bump." SCHEDULES Southern Railway?Premier Carrier of The South. K.
