HEADACHES .Jleadache Is a symptom which iwows that some organ does not function normally. The head aches, but some other organ is sick. Mostly the stomach is the sick organ. Many forms of headache? are caused by stomach disturbances. An abnormal quantity of poisons Is produced in the intestines and absorbed into the blood stream.

I W**.- HISTORY INVOLVED IN SUIT Question Engrosses Attention of Lawyers, Oil Men, Land Owners and Federal and State Officials--Give* History of Wichita Claim. AttRin. Tex.--Seldom has a e«W been filed in American courts in which history has been involved to the extent that it is in the question of the ownership of the channel of the Red river, benenth the bed of which are valuable oil deposits. This question has been engrossing the attention of lawyers, oil men. land owners and federal and state officials. The state of Texas claims ownership In the bed of the river to the center of the channel, while the federal governmentv and the state of Oklahoma oppose the claim of Texas under the terms of the treaty of Spain In 1819, by which the northern boundary of the Spanish dominions In Texas was designated as the south bank of the Red river. The federal authorities hold thut the ownership of the Red river bed areas in dispute belong to the Indian tribes which owned the adjacent reservations. and the state of Oklnhomu maintains that, as a meandering stream, the bed of the Red river is state property and should be leased for the benefit of the state school fund. Joseph B. Thoburn, secretary of the •^.Oklahoma Historical society, has ad- \anced the suggestion that there Is still another claimant to the ownership of the oil bearing area of the channel of the Red river, namely, the Wichita Indians. Mr. Thoburn in the course of an extended statement says: "Older than any of the claims of ownership which are now bein£ to a treaty by the terms of which they ceded all of the lands In O^lplioma and Texas between the ArknnSas and Can* udlan rivers on the north and the Red river on the south to the government. The fact that the Quapaw Indiana lived i)i eastern Arkansas, that th^y seldom went as far west as the eastetti boundary of Oklahoma and that they never by occupancy or otherwise exercised any form of ownership or Jurisdiction over any of the lands within 200 miles of the region where the Wichitas were living, do not seem to have entered into the consideration at all. if, indeed, the government commissioners had any knowledge of the existence of the Wichitns at that time. Yet, with this Quapaw transaction as a basis, the government of the United States executed a giant of these lands* to the people later. More than-thirty years later thqi Wichita people first learned that their country had been sold by the Quapaw ami then granted to the Choctawa. _ ' , . "If the government of the United States ever means to do the square and honorable thing by the Wichita ! Indians it will never have a better chance than it has at the present time. Their lands are gone--sold to strangers without recompense to them and without their consent--but they still have an equitable claim to the ownership pf the Red River channel oil prop- Clark and Auguste Chouteau, as com- j erties, and simple justice fleraands missioners representing the govern- j that they be given a chance .ft) entailment of the United States, entered In- lish it." - ' . la the right of the aboriginal owners of the land on both sides of, the river, and these are the people of 'the Wichita tribe of Indians. "The ancestors of the Wichita Indians have lived in Oklahoma and adjacent states for a thousand years, and for approximately five hundred years past they have occupied the country on both sides of the Red river In that part of Its course where it traverses the Burkburnett oil fields. In using the word 'occupied' in this connection, I do so advisedly, for these people have always been sedentary in their habits, living in fixed villages and depending largely upon the cultivation of the soil for their subsistence. "The rights of the Wichita Indians to the ownership of tbese lands has never been extinguished by purchase, exchange or otherwise, though state and federal governments have seemingly proceeded on the theory that no such right ever existed.

Thousands of srhool boyw of New York are registering for |»urticipatioD In the compulsory training required under the Slater law. Moat of the registering is being done at the urmorles instance, she made her operatic debut as Mimi, In his "La Boheme," carrying through the part with success when she was in the first stages of typhoid fever; she f|Il under official suspicion as a spy In Turanto, wher« there is an Italian naval station; she underwent a siege of blackmail that resulted in sending two oppressors to prison, and she became the betrothed of a young noble, who was. killed in the war. _ In addition, her progress toward a career was hampered by the stern opposition of her father, Silas Marcus McVane, formerly professor of history and international law In Harvard, retiring as emeritus professor. Afterward the family became so proud of the young singer that they established a home in Rome, where Professor McVane died at about the beginning of the war. In connection with the spy and blackmail episodes It seems that Miss McVane unwittingly snapped her camera when the lens was pointed In the direction of masked batteries. Soon she became the object of scoffing in ihe street, she was hissed at the op- <>ra, she found herself unable to get letters to her friends or to hear from i hem. She became so nervous and dispirited that she wished to go away, regardless of her operatic- contract, mid was threatened with arrest if she tried to go. When, at last, men an nnyed her with threats of publishing the spy story and thus ruining her career unless she paid money to them, she contrived to get word to the American ambassador In Rome, who put the wheels in motion for a blackmail trial, whereby Miss McVahe was cleared and the men were punished. She was led to adopt singing as a profession on the advice of artists and others Who heard her voice In Paris, where she had gone merely to perfect her French. When her French Instructors sent her to Milan, with letters to the composer Puccini, she knew the lending roles in 20 operas. It was reported that Puccini intended to write sin opera for her. but the war absorbed him In other affairs. Miss Edith McVane, writer and novelist, and the Raroness Dodeman de Placy are sisters of Miss McVane.

Stripped of all their luxurious furnishings during the war. the Salsburg baths have Just been refitted with the aid of the American Red Cross for use as a military hospital for chronic rheumatism resulting from trench warfare. Five hundred soldiers are there, re«-overlng from rheumatism and similar diseases contracted while undergoing the hardships of war. Jb times of peace thousands of tourists visited Salsburg, high up In the Transylvanian Alps, southwest of Kronstadt. Many came for the dazzling social life. With Its magnificent hotels and gay casino, it was perhaps the chief showplace of eastern Europe When the Germans pushed the Roumanians out of this district early in the war General Mackensen and his staff took possession of the town and staged luxurious revelry there. When the Germans left they looted the place, stripped the hotels of tapestries, furniture and brass fittings. Even the equipment for the medicinal baths was wrecked. Under the direction of Maj. George C. Treadwell of Albany. N. Y., and several American physicians, the baths were refitted sufficiently to care for the soldier*.
