HOW TO RELIEVE HAY fever
Exneriments in a Number of Cases
That Have Had Encour-
aging Results.

A few years ago Prof. Dunbar, OF Ham
burg, found that by means of a solution
of salt it is possible to extract from the
pollen of varieties of grass held respon-
sible for the disease a substance which,
through it's effects upon the mucous
membrane of the nose or eye, has shown
itself to be the poison of hay fever.
What has heretofore been surmised
has now been demonstrated-that Pc
culiar predispositiOn is necessary to
contract the disease. Prof. Decker, of
Erlangen, has made a series of further
experiments and has published his con-
illusions in the Munich Medical Weekly
Journal. He first vaccinated hay fever
patients with the serum prepared by
Prof Dunbar, and regretfully ascer-
tanned that the remedy did not always
produce the desired effect. He resorted
to another mode of treatment, consist
ing of massage of the mucous men,
brane of the nose, which must first be
rendered insensible by cocaine The
massage is made by means of a probe
covered with cotton, and Is used once
day, lasting only from two to three min
utes for each nostril; later one minute
longer.
The results so far observed in eight
cases have been very encouraging. and
the favorable effects have not only last
ed for one year, but have also been no.
ticeable in the second year.

WORK OF BEAUTY DOCTOR
One Who Made Good COMPLEXION
But It Did Not Prove
Lasting.

According to woman who has made
the rounds in search of youth and good
looks, there is as much disagreement
among beauty doctors as among doctors
of medicine, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. What one will do to you and tell
you to do for yourself is exactly oppo-
site to the methods of the next YOU
may go to. One specialist will, for in
stance, massage the face with a solu-
ton in which alcohol is the principal
Ingredient, and another will tell you
that that is all wrong, because such
treatment is merely temporary slim
ulant to the skin and will leave il
worse than it found it.

LAST OF THE
LUMBER INDUSTRY
Last Lumber Scaled Out Last
misunderstanding About
the Industry on the Black
River==Total Cut is Estimated
at 1900, 900, 900 Feet.

We quote the following from an
article in the La Crosse Chronicle of
Tuesday morning on the death of the
logging Industry on the Black river.
ltiis written from La Crosse stand.
point, and shows how that city has
MIXED the industry and built up a
city by making the wealth of the
river from source to mouth pay
tribute:
Black rivers logging industry died
Saturday.
Then the last brazil of logs that ever
will be taken out of the river for Mis-
SiSsippi river points was scaled by
w. III. TilJon and E. G. Erickson. two
well known north side men, who for
many years have scaled logs on Black
river and it's tributaries.
The brazil is at present tied up be-
low Trow's saw mill and is owned by
the Standard Lumber Company of
Dubuque. When the Kit Carson
arrives in the city on trip down river
with raft of logs, the brazil will be
picked up and be taken down to-
gether with the raft.
In the brazil are 1900 logs scaling
IS, 900 feet. The logs came down with
, Trow's drive this spring and were to
have been sawed at TrOw'S saw mill.
The scaling of this brazil marks the
end of the two scalers' career on the
Black river and they claim the honor
of scaling the last brazil ever taken
out of Black river. Mr. Tilton will
retire from active service, while Mr..
Erickson will soon resume his duties
as government scaler on the Leech
Lake Indian reservation in northern
Minnesota, where he has been en-
ployed for the last four years.
The first logs were taken from Black
river down the Mississippi in 1852.
| The timber was cut near Neilsville
and was owned by a pioneer logger,
Ruel Weston. The logs were sawed
at Davenport mill.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1905-08-15

Up to 1880 more logs were sent
down river than were sawed in the
mills in this city. But when the
number of mills increased, more
lumber was manufactured and RATED
in this city than the amount of un-
sawed timber taken to points along
the Mississippi river.
Although there are no records to
show the entire output of logs of the
Black river, loggerS and ScaIers eSti.
mate about five billion feet of logs
have been fioated down Black river.
As most of this came to this city the
local saw mills sawed three-fourthS of
the amount.
W. III. Tilton has the honor of being
the last lumber inspector of District
No. of the state of Wisconsin which
comprises Black river and all its
tributaries. He is at present in
cumbent and with the end of logging
operations on the river there will be

RATS SUMMER IN COUNTRY
The Rodents Seek Cool Air and Re-
turn When Winter Comes
Again.

The fable of the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation in
fact. Mice occasionally migrate in
large numbers when food grows scarce,
and traverse considerable distances to
fresh houses. Farmers in part of
Perthshire, England, had a good rea-
son to become aware of this fact
when, couple of years ago, vast
swarms of mice invaded their corn
fields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when it
has to. The rat, on the contrary,
seems to take yearly outing, in very
much the same fashion as human be-
creatures of the world. Whole
troops of rats leave the towns at the
end of summer and spend a month or
two in the country, apparently in or
der to enjoy the change of food which
the country affords at that time of the
year in the way Of fresh fruit and
grain. Before the cold weather sets
in they are all back in their old quar-
tiers.
Reindeer migrate with the same
regularity as swallows. They move
south when the winter sets in, but as
soon as ever the snow begins to melt
they travel steadily north, sometimes
for as many as thousand miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui
eide is so strange phenomenon that
for long time naturalists looked up,
on the stories of the migrations of the
Jennings as an improbable fiction
Yet the facts are beyond dispute. AT
irregular intervals these ratlike
creatures start out for their homes
in the Businesses of Northern Scandi-
navia in huge droves, numbering tens
of thousands. and travel steadily

hundred forms Hawks and other
birds of prey hover above them
Foxes, wolves and man decimate

they reach the sea. They do not stop
They plunge in, swim out and strug'
gle on, until at last their strength
fails and they drown. Not one ever

THE GOVERNMENT
FOREST EXHIBIT
At the Lewis and Clark Centen=
NAL Exposition, Portland,
Oregon.

The exhibit of the Forest Service at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition gives
deserved prominence to the need and
the value of forestry in the northwest.
1t emphasizes the great benefits of
the forests to the region, both on the
northern Pacific coast, where they are
the richest in the world in their
stand of merchantable timber, and in
the agricultural areas of eastern
Washington and Oregon, where they
dominate the success of irrigation by
their storing and supply Of treasured
water. Indeed, the intimate relation
betwee forestry and irrigation-the
most important economic problem
of the nOrthwest-iS most fully
brought out in the association of the
forest exhibit with that of the
Reclamation service in the same
building.
The picturesque Oregon state
"Forestry Bullding," constructed Of
the giant red tir logs, is distinct from
the Government forestry building,
but it has attracted much attention
and has also assisted greatly IN i'm
