ron HAY FEVER SUFFERERS.
a Victim Obtains Good Results by
Avoiding Acid Fruits.

The time is almost at hand when
hay fever patients enter upon their
annual season of fortune. Being a
victim of rose cold 1.-THE same thing,
the season of which is now over,
want to offer suggestion which
think my experience this year has
proved to be of value.
My physician reasoned that as rose
cold and hay fever occur during the
summer when acid fruits are eaten in
quantity ought to eliminate straw
berries from my diet on the theory
that the strong acid of this fruit
working through the blood caused
the irritation of the mucous men,
brane peculiar to the disease.
Being very fond of strawberries, I
had already eaten great many and
had had considerable rose cold, when
the suggestion was made, but | acted
upon it at once, as there remained
about six weeks of my season In
which to make the test The result
was far beyond my expectations.
In previous years as far back as |
can remember | have had many bad
spells of two or three days each in
June and several very heavy attacks
in July, whereas this year | had but
two very mild attacks in June, lasting
but one day each and none worth
speaking of in July.
| know there are scores of hay fe-
yer patients who are all through act
ing on suggestions, and who have re-
signed themselves, cheerfully or 9TH
erwise, to their fate, and I have pre-
viously been in their class, but it
seems to me that I am justified in
urging this plan upon those who are
willing to make the experiment re.
garding the fruits that are most used
in hay fever time.
AS Strawberries Seem to have caus-
ed my rose cold, so may peaches, ap-
pies, pineapples and other acid fruits
and fruit ices cause or aggravate hay
fever. In each case some particular
fruit may be responsible for making
the blood less alkaline.
A trial costs nothing but a little
care and self-denial, and l hope this
will meet the eyes of some who will
give it a fair trial from the present
time to the end of the season, and
then report through your columns
Anti-Sneeze, in New York Times.

Recovery of Stolen Goods.

A Lynn (Mass.) Judge recently de-
cided a case of much interest to pawn
brokers. 1t seems that a thief who had
stolen watch pledged it with a
pawnbroker for SO. The owner Of the
watch had it returned to him, but
the pawnbroker insisted he should re-
imburse him for the sum advanced
the thief The judge who had the mat
ter before him held that there was
no validity in the claim for eompen-
sation; that the real owner had a
right to his property, and that it
should be given up without the pay
ment, on his part, of a dollar.
Curiously enough, this sound and
just decision was criticised by the
police on the ~raund that it has been
the habit of the pawnbrokers to aid
EN- in restoring stolen good t
condition being that the money ad-
vanced should be returned by the
owner. The police held that if, in the
future pawnbroker knew he would
not be reimbursed he would be very
Glow to aid in the recovery of piIfered
valuables.- Washington Post.

Something Doinu.

Another rip-roaring newspaper has
been started in Florida. this time at
DeLand, under the name of the mes
senger of the gods, The Mercury. j.
Hall Brumsey, an experienced news
paper man, is editor and manager,
and he has started right in as re-
former of the Claude L'Engle type,
supporting the administration and
tearing the hides off those who oppose
it. Well, We are glad that the ennui
of summer journalism in Florida is
banished by the existence, persist
ence and daring of John G. Collins,
of the Tallahassee True Democrat;
Claude L'Engle, of the Tallahassee
Sun, Albert Williamson, of the Jack
sonville Floridian, and J. Hall Brum-
sey, of the DeLand Mercury We
would caution them, however, not to

"our Common Language"

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, we see, has
been criticising the growing tendency
of English journalists to adopt Amer
lean slang. We read in a daily paper
that he said that he would not tread
the smoking lava fields Of discussion"
about the comparative merits of
saffron and blue Journalism, but he
wished to deprecate the constant, the
increasing, the deplorable corruption
of the English language which was
going on all the time, and for which
some newspapers were raking the
streets to pour out every morning.
The degradation, he added, would be
less threatening If we in England had
little less cordial admiration for
American slang. The unfortunate
part of the matter is that these
idioms of the states are so fascinat-
ing. There is something so fresh
and breezy about them. They go right
to the root of things. After having
spoken of men as 'lunching" for so
many years, it is change to read of
them in Mr.. George AIDES work as
'pronging about forty cents worth.
The word stunts" is equally fasci-
mating. We like to read of people
doing stunts" Also it is nice to think.
that they sometimes ''have wheels in
their cocoa" or "get next to de
game for fair" The secret of the
charm of American slang is that it is
essentially good-humored and high
spirited. We take it in much the
same way as we take to catch
phrases. But it is a luxury, and
should be treated as such.-London

gu:se a common sense so stern that
even to hint at it to a patient would
be fatal.
"For instance, hysterical patient
consults me about wrinkle on her
forehead and crows feet round her
eyes" the specialist said. Bridge and
late nights are the real cause, but it
is more than our profession is worth
to tell her so. Instead, recommend
her to go to bed at 8 o'clock every
night and fonow the violet rest cure
"She must battle in warm water
perfumed with violet toilet vinegar,
recline afterward on a couch, robed
in a violet scented tea gown, with her
lead resting on pillow of violet
leaves, while her maid messages

"The wrinkles disappear, however,
because she goes to bed at 9 o'clock.
"The debutante with the sallow
skin lies in bed until noon. We advise
her to rise at a. m. collect the dew,
steep in it some freshly gathered rose
petals, and wash her face in the To-
ton.
