Hay Fever Follows Civilization.

Hay fever is the price of civiliza
ton.
Modern methods OF living,
especially in America, increase the
nervous diathesis or temperament,
which is the principal condition in
the foundation of this disease.
An English physician, Dr.. Bos-
took, in 1919, gave what is sup
posed to be the first description of
hay fever. Several years afterwards
he collected and reported 80 cases.
In 1876 it was estimated that there
were between $4,000 to so, 600 cases
in the United States. In 1902 the
estimate rose to over 800, 900 cases
in this country alone. Reports
from England and Germany would
indicate the increase there is nearly
as great.
These facts and statistics are sub
jects for the great psychologists of
our country, and will sooner or later
demand national attention.
The name of this disease un
doubtedly originated with the PEG
pie who noticed that the symptoms
were brought on or made worse dur
ing the hay making period. While
the name indicates disease asso-
ciated with fever, the victim seldom
has an increase Of the bodily tenn
perature, although he often has the
sensation of burning in the eyes,
nose, month and skin,
The regular date in which at
tacks begin corresponds with the
date in which nature ripens the diff
ferent pollen. June being the
month of roses we have some cases
which are poisoned by the rose pol
len, which floats in the air at this
time. These cases are as rule
miider than those affected later.
Then there are some affected by the
pollen that floats about the first
week in August, but the greater
number Of cases in this locality are
affected by the pollen of ragweed or
goldenrod, which ripens about Au-
gust 10.
Experiments have been made to
count the number of pollen floating
In the air during a season. A
round glass, such as is used in mi
crosopical work, was coated with
glycerin and exposed to the wind.
In the beginning of the season 20
pollen would collect on the glass in
"a hours At the height of the sea-
son there were $50 pollen collected
in 81 hours. 1t was found that
when 20 pollen were collected in
this way, the symptoms would begin
in some cases, while when 300 were
collected violent symptoms would
be present. Thus, it can be seen it
is possible that in the future the
weather bureau may notify the hay
fever cases when it is safe to ven
ture out.
For the relief and cure of this di-
sease it is necessary to eliminate
one or more of the three conditions.
Thus, when patient goes to a eli
mate free from his particular poi
sonous pollen, heobtains temporary
immunity A permanent cure can
be made by correcting one or both

Paris, Feb. 13.-An exciting incident

tinued to shout at the top of his
voice, NM. Combes and Vale and the
other ministers retired from the house.

consulted with the chamber, which
eensured M. Binder. When he at
tempted TO resume his speech the
president suspended the sitting.
M. Vale made a brief rejoinder to
the effect that his accusers were de-
tenders of the Humberts, and an in

City of Mexico, Feb. 13.-The Mexican
Herald publishes the following tele-
gram, sent to Senator Morgan, at
Washington. by Gen. Rafael Reyes,
minister from Colombia at this capital.
Mexico, Feb. Is, 19O3.-To Senator
Morgan, Washington, D. CT read in
to-day's newspaper that in a session
of the Senate on the 18th inst, you de-
clared that a recent chief executive of
the Colombian government had sold
out and abdicated for $1,000, 900. Ac-
cording to the Colombian legislation
the chief executives are the President
and Vice President.
THE last President was Senior Don
Manuel Antonio San Clemente, vener-
able old man of over so years, whose
reputation for integrity is widespread
in all Spanish-American nations. and
who died a few months ago, and the
President in charge of the executive
office at the present time is Senior Don
Jose Manuel Marroquin, whose up
rlghtness is as we'll known as that of
the former.
Neither of the two abdicated, and
therefore the charge you have uttered
is false. 1 must suppose, having re-
gard to the respect which is due to
the Senate of the United States, and
to all the nations of the globe, to your
own age, and integrity, and to justice
and truth, that in making the asser-
ton in question you have given Gre
dence to false and malicious reports,
the origin of which 1 invite you to
publish.
And l must expect that acting with
the courage and sturdy honesty of the
men of the school of George Wash
ington, among whom towers the pres
ent executive chief of your nation,
that you will in fairness fulfill your
duty of rectifying a charge as inju-
rious as false against my country.

SENATE ON TRUSTS.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The Senate
Committee on the Judiciary to-day
further considered the question Of
trust legislation on the basis of the
Littlefeld bill, the attention being
again monopolzed by the question as
to whether all corporations SHOULD be
included in the requirement to make
returns.
Senator Bacon has offered an amend
ment, providing that the returns re-
quired shall only be mandatory upon
large corporations, but that 1t may
be made applicable to smaller ones, in
the discretion of the authorities hav-
ing the matter in hand. Senator Bacon,
Senator Hoar, and others, advocate a
provision on these lines, but other
members of the committee express the
opinion that no mandatory requirement
for return should be made upon any
corporation, but that the entire ques-
ton should be left to the control of
the executive department of the fed
eral government.

New York, Feb. 13.-William Hooper
Young was to-day taken to Sing Sing
prison where he will commence the
life sentence for the murder of Mrs.
Anna Pulitzer.
Young fought furiously against his
removal from the prison van to the
train, which was to carry him to Sing
Sing, and the deputy sheriffs had to
drag him through the Grand Central
depot, which was crowded with people
anxious to get a glimpse of him. His
clothes were almost torn from his
body, his hat broken and his collar
torn off.
Young made this fight despite the
fact that he was handcuffed between
two burly negro prisoners, who, like
him, had been sentenced to Sing Sing.
Once on the train he quoted down,
and drew the blinds of the car to shut
out the gaze of the curious. Arrived
at the prison town, he walked quietly
from the station to the penitentiary.

senate VIII Probably Hurry and
Ratify Both For President.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Gull
lom, chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee. had a conference with the
President to-day, concerning the treat
les that are pending in the Senate. The
anxiety of the President to have both
the canal treaty. and the Cuban reci-
procity treaty ratified. as soon as pos
sible, is not concealed.
While it is understood that a definite
decision has been reached, it can be
said to be not improbable that in case
the Senate should fail to act upon those
treaties at this session, an extraordi-
nary session of the Senate may be call
ed to consider them. According to the
best information obtainable -o-day, it
seems likely that an extra session will
not be necessary. The belief is that
both of the pending treaties mentioned
will be ratified before the close of the
present Congress.
