Our Headache Corner Edited exclusively for those who are ly afflict- ed with headaches. They are our best people, the ones with the superiority complex. Edited by HENRY HEADACHE He or she who has a headache—the “headachee,” as one might say— usually “takes something” for it. * * «© Now, don’t misunderstand us—we referred to taking a remedy. * * «© Sometimes it’s 50-50 whether the effects of the remedy or of the head- ache, are the worse. * 8 6 Is there then no relief for the head- achee? + *# Oh, well, if you insist on knowing— the fact is that Kohler-Antidote leaves you feeling fine after a head- ache. * 6 « Because it isn’t a single powerful drug, but is a combination of bene- ficial ingredients, as the fellow said. + * «* You can buy about everything ex- cept drugs in a drugstore, but for 35 years practically all druggists have sold the right remedy for your next headache. = ‘ Sea SICKNESS —in the roughest waters.

Popular Recreations “La Crosse” i THE first place, does anyone know anything about La Crosse? That’s fine. Then wecan talk freely. La Crosse is a deft combination of the old Sanskrit word meaning may- hem, the old Persian word meaning homicide, theold Bolivian word mean- ing insanity and the American Indian word meaning so’s your old man. It comes down to us, as a game, from the old Biblical days when it was customary for parents to sacri- fice their children to assuage the gods which they idolatrously worshiped. When a father wanted to sacrifice his son he taught him to play La Crosse. As modern law will not recognize this practice La Crosse is not allowed to be played any more than murder. It is from the word La Crosse that we get the name which we have given to the unelevated intersection of a railroad line and a busy highway. One plays either at his own risk. Grade crossings are, however, a bit safer on the whole, due to the fact that there is only a double threat of disaster against a multiple threat in La Crosse. La Crosse is played with a ball and some peculiar looking instruments of torture, probably dating back to the Reign of Terror. An attempt is made at the ball with this strange tool; it is, incidentally a combination between a tennis racket, a snowshoe and a billy, if the ball is missed one of the contestant’s heads is hit in its stead. This always brings another ball into play and the unconscious player is carried balling from the field. This counts a knockout for the other side, but does not score any points. The game probably has an object but no one has ever been able to find out what it is for two reasons. First, no one ever goes to see a La Crosse game. Second, the players, if they come to at all never remember anything at all about their past lives. A La Crosse game may start any time in the day and continues till fall; till all the players fall, or till night fall. When the field becomes too strewn with bodies to make it a sporting contest the wardens generally call the game. The Champion American La Crosse team is the one representing The New York State Asylum for the Insane at Mattewan. They became champs just this season by defeating their Illinois rivals at Dunning.
