HAY FEVER
An Efficient Toxin For Its Cure Has
Been Found.

From the Hospital: Sufferers
from hay fever will now DO rejoic-
ing, no doubt, that their special
malady, which has hitherto made
them look forward with something
like dread to the approach of
early summer, and at this moment
the subject of extensive expert
mental research at the hands of
Prof. Dunbar Of Hamburg, and
that, 80 far as his investigations
go, judging from Sir Felix Sc
mons report in the British Medi-
cal Journal, there seems to be a
reasonable likelihood that in the
near future medical men will be
in a position to treat the com
plant on basis of rational pa
thology and therapeutics.
Up to the present time the only
sure way of obtaining relief from
the affection has been to run away
from it and to abide the summer
in some place where the baleful
pollen is not, course obviously
impossible for TIE many. Now,
however according to Prof. Dun
bar, the toxin has been discover
ed. He has isolated from the pol
len Of certain grasses a toxic sub
stance which, when applied in
very dilute solution to the eyes or
nostrils of individuals who are
subject to hay fever, produces
within n few minutes the charao-
teristic local symptoms of the
complaint. The toxin solution
has no effect upon one who is not
a sufferer from hay fever.
BY injecting the pollen OF var
ious grasses into the circulation
of certain animals-rabbits, goats
and horses-Prof. Dunbar has
succeeded, he believes, in produc-
ing an active anti-toxin, which,
when applied to the eyes and nos
trils of hay fever patients in whom
the local symptoms have been
produced artifoially by the pre-
vious employment of the toxin,
Immediately quells the subjective
symptoms, and in few minutes
causes the objective sign to sub
side.
Grasses appear to be the chief
offenders in causing the affection,
for Prof. Dunbar has failed to dis
cover the toxin in the pollen of
roses and many other flowers.
The toxin was obtained in suffici-
ent quantity for experimental pur-
poses by extracting the crushed
pollen of maize with saline solu-
tons at the body temperature for
about SIX hours, and by preeipita-
ting the toxin from the solution
with alcohol. The antitoxin was
obtained by injecting the toxin
into horses. A full report of Prof.
Dunbar's Investigations will be
welcomed with considerable
amount of interest by the medical
profession at large.

was caught by his private chaplain.
Many Venetans were present, in

DR.. Lapponi was sent for. Before
DIR. Lapponi arrived the Pope re-

wrought by the excitement of the

been sleepless for several nights

The Advantages Of Farm Life.

Ii is the fIrners'boys who airs most
likely to succeed. whether In business
or in professional life. Spending
most OF their time under the open
sky, breathing fresh air, and eating
simple food, they ar" more likely to
have vigorous health and strong
constitutions that are their their
city cousins. Brought into constant
contact with nature, they absorb
great deal OF useful knowledge, aud
acquire habits of observation. Then,
too, the regular farm work, the
chores an j numberIess other little
things keep them well occupied, and
enable them to feel that they are
earning their way. thus ,ivlng to
them II sense OF independence aud
cultivating n spirit OF self-reIiance
aud manliness.
The performance OF n deal of
drud9ery is an indispensable prepar-
alton for all real success ia life, what
ever the occupation. A boy who is
afraid OF work or of soiling his hands
need not expect to accomplish much
IN the world. Country boys have
their full share OF fun, but there are
many dsagreeable duties on a farm
which farmers boys learn to accept
as matter OF course. Edward Egg

been discharged for reasons which
the company deemed sufficient cause

WASHINGTON, Aug. roth, 1908
Secretary Root has completed his
investigation OF Littauer-L Lyon glove
contract ana, as was expected, prac-
tically exonerates Congressman Lit
tauer, the Presidents eliminate
friend and most trusted political adj
visor" Mr.. Littauer claims that it
was not until after Lyon had secur-
ed the contract that he became in
terested in it and then only because
ne felt Obliged, as a manufacturer
of gloves, to charge Lyon as much
for them as Lyon had bid, the pro-
fit being purely incidental and unex-
pected by himself and Lyon. In
this explanation Littauer is practi.
cally upheld by Root. The one
point which Littauer fails to explain
is why he appeared at the War De-
partment on several occasions and
used his influence as a member of
Congress to secure the contract for
Lyon, especially as Lyon was not
constituent of his. With a recon-
mendation that, as, stated above,
practically exonerates Littauer, Sec
rotary Root has referred the whole
matter to the Attorney General, for
his advice.

land stripes that is to say, they
want some incidental protection.
In other words, they are more on
the line of the late Samuel ]. Ran
dalPs contention than on that prin-
ciple of the Wilson bill, as reported
from the Ways and Means Commit
tee. In southwest Texas the sheep
and cattle interests are important
and those engaged in them are nat
urally opposed to the free-raw-ma-
ierial theory of the tariff. The
same is the case in my district,
where the rice and lumber indust-
ries are thriving. This large infu.
sion of protectionist ideas of the
Democratic variety terms to give
popularity to such candidates for
the Presidential nomination as do
not wish to push tariff re adjust

German is not only popular on this
account, but also because Of his at
titude on what is known as the
Force bill, and that not only in
Texas but throughout the south. /
