AntitOXin for Hay Fever

The real cause of hay fever, that
disagreeable and puZzling form of
summer affection, is claimed to have
been discovered by the bureau of plant
industry of the department of agri-
culture. To be more correct, the dis
covery was not made by this Dureau,
but It's experts have confirmed G theo-
ry as to the cause of this disease put
forward by a German investigator
Some time ago word was received
here that a German scientist named
Dunbar had found hay fever toxin
and as he declared that the disease
was occasioned by the pollen of
grasses the matter naturally fell I'M

All, mel There came day of parting
The schooldays they are ended and the
tune
OF life 1t bore somber sounding air
Long years ago one afternoon in June
And ! was standing in the same old spot,
With eyes fixed on pretty maiden
trim.
Each pulse within my being throbbing
hot,
While detained with more than
wonted vim.
All, me! The sweetness OF the school
house bell!
My eyes they hear your calling notes
again.
Anon I'm trooping at your beck and
with kindred spirits down the shady
lane.
The clover flowers spillng on the air
The essence of its sweetness and per-
fume
And by my side a maiden wanders there
Along the fields of sunshine and of
bloom.
Fond memory recalls the winding ways
The, daisy chain, the sunny brook that
flows,
Each throb and thrill of childish rounde-
lays,
The grapevine swing. the brair path

All sweeter to my heart than all the
rest

Must Be Well ShOd

All military men are agreed that the
feet of soldiers must be in good con-
dition in order that they can fulfill
their duties efficiently. No troops the
feet of whose members generally are
not sound are able to carry on long
campaign successfully. Napoleon.
Wellington and many other celebrated
generals have insisted upon the neces-
sty of soldiers being suitably shod
Indeed, good food and good feet are
two most essential points in deter
mining the issue of war.
The Japanese, according to all re-
ports, is in almost every respect an
ideal soldier. He is brainy, enduring
strong, and, moreover. is able to
thrive on a dict which would mean
almost starvation to fanaticism, and.
as is well known, fanatics have ever
been most redoubtable fighters. But
he has weakness, and, in the opinion

in fatal weakness-his feet are de-
fectivc. His body is of iron, but his
feet are of clay.
