DEAR MISS DIX: which hs is constantly working. As success and advancement come his wife must keep step with his progress unless she is a handicap to him. A wife who simply remains a housekeeper with her mind entirely filled with family and household matters cannot. have share in her husband's mental life if he has gone on broadening his interests and improving himself. She is more or less in the position of a servant, through her inability to longer be a companion to her husband. This is at the bottom of much of the domestic unhappi- ness we see about us and explains. if it does not justify, much of the phiiandering of husbands who seek abroad from other women the understanding their wives can- I Wiiil 3'01! Wvuid impress on girls the necessity of try- Ifll to keep up with their husbands intellectually.

All of which is, a grievous mistake. women had few opportunities of education and were kept more or less in the background. anyhow, men did not expect much of their wives ex-

A great many women feel that marriage gives them the privilege of slumping intellectually as well as physically, and especially that they have a right to do so after the children come. read the new books and the papers and magazines and kept u) with what the world was doing and were interesting companions.

But it does now. A man's wife is an active factor in his success or failure. Many a clever woman who knows how -to make friends for her husband and who is popular herself is his biggest asset.

HEADACHE . ,

Some years ego I tried to count up the number of causes of head- ache When it ran over lOO. I stop- ped. some research workers report over 200 causes.

When the pain is in the top of the head. it. may be caused by thin blood, mental and physical tired- ness tneurastnenis), hysteria. and diseases of the bladder and gener- ative organs.

Pain in the forehead is often due to constipation, digestive disturb- ances (gas). If immediately over the eye. it may be sinus or an eye disturbance.

If the pain is at the back ‘of the bead. it may be due to indigestion eycstrain. infected teetih, sinus dis- turbance. rheumatism, a displaced or ruptured disk (cushion between the neck bones of the spine), and diseases of the middle ear.

Pain at the side of the head. about the ear, ls in most cases caused by diseases of the ear and teeth, and even by eyestrain.

From time to time there seems to be epidemics of pain at the back of head and in the neck. which must be due to organisms in the air as these symptoms attacks whole communities. Fqrtunatbly. the attack does not last long usu- ally, and relief is obtained by hot applications and use of aspirin.

While we now are all familiar with cases of low, backache and sciatica caused by injury to the disks between the bones of the spine in the lower back, it. is only: during the past two years that we. are learning that the disks between: the spine bones of the neck can be, so injured or crushed that m’ fragments press upon the nerve or nerve which extend from the spine to the back of the head, neck shoulder and arm. Thus. when pain occurs in this region, it is believed due, to s. cold, rheumatism or neu- ritis. As heat gives relief at times. the fact that a disk has been in- Jured from s blow or fall never is suspected.

The thought. then, is that where the"! is Pain at the back of head and neck. which may extend into the shoulder and arm. and this pain persists for any length of time, an X-ray film should me made. In the meantime the patient can ob- tain scme relief by standing and

IT would be advisable to put into practice thrift, economy and con- servatism in the use of funds in order to escape paying the penalty for extravagance, over-enthusiasm and other lack of sound Judgment and reasonable consideration of im- portant matters coming up for dc- cision. Misplaced confidence. deal- ings with the wrong people, un- sound motives on the part. of either. oould prove risky. as would specula- tion, gaming. or any form of plung- ing or chance. Make changes cau- tiously, safeguard prestige.

For the Birthday

Those ~whose birthday it is should endeavor to use more than ordinary precaution in dealing with others, in dubious transactions, speculation, gambling or any form of exctss or extravagance of funds or assets. Misplaced confidence. snap judg- ment, lsvlsh or unwarranted dis- play. may cost prestige, popularity. and peace of mind with unhaPPY and unprofitable reactions on the health and in dcmestic contacts.

Out. of curiosity, grand-daughter and I gave the early-set duck eggs a bath this evening, lifting them gently from beneath a hen’: wings and easing them carefully into a

basin of warm water. "Now what will they do?" she asked with much interest. And she laughed and was much taken up by the strange an- tics of the bobbing eggs, an indica- tion of the life contained therein. She enjoys too, a visit to the sit- ting ducks, the Muscovey in the dim-lit barn-cellar, snug and pati- ent on her down nest. It is an in- triguing affair, deftly-fashioned. deep and well lined. the result of much effort in preparation.

Here it was that out of our abundance last Summer so much hay was stored that appraising it we said comfortably "\Ve shan't use nearly all of that!" And were surprised to find that by grass- time for the stabled cattle. not only the mow held a thinnish covering in the bottom, but stacks had also disappeared as though trans- ported on a magic carpet from up by a line, and indeed all stores of it were almost depleted. In the old mow then, in a feathery nest, this tweedsy-clad lady sits——and he, handsome fellow that he is. now goes his solitary and obviously lonely way about the yards.

Cooler winds and a promise of impending rain in spells of cloudi- ness brought anglers to the pond today-perhaps not too intent on their fishing but rather to enjoy the delights of the out-of-doors. The countryside pregnant with the near expectancy of Summer, is fresh now and exceedingly beauti- i111. though the earth is beginning to show a lack of moisture, needed for the farmers‘ crops. "If we would Bet some rain now—a whole day. or night of a gentle fall of it" ours agreed today, after inspecting the mange] and turnip drills where seedlings are showing only faintly.

Granddaddy and our small maid had gone down along the lane then hand in hand to fetch the cows from the field across the creek to the milking. They came at his call from distant corners when he 19g: down the bars. l-ler voice rang out i too in imitation of his. and we could hear them laugh. She finds it convenient sometimes to imitate his call about the yard or door. We hear her tread on a verandah and listen to a gentle, “Na-nna!" After a moment of suspense this changes to a lusty, "Grand-mother!" and by way of explanation if she has any audience she says “I'm calling my grand-mother!" This is follow- ed, if the silence continues by a stern "El-len, where are you?" in an echo of James‘ stern tones.

Lacking any field work at the moment our farmers busied them- selves tidying their premises to- day-ftleaning accumulations of ma- nure from the vicinity of piggeries and stables to a heap in a field. beginning a reserve to be used in next year's cropping.
