which has an interest for us here. With
regard to this period President Hughes
remarks Now, what the boy needs at
this time is adrot sympathy If you
are at some social gathering, aud you
see some boy standing by the door, suf-
ferlng like modern martyr, go to him
and make him forget that he has
hands, feet, a collar that gorges him,
clothes that are too big for him, and
for Just a minute let him DO human
being. lie may also need an appeal
to his self-respect at this period. Al
matter OF fact. no man can think too
much Of himself We do not hive the
one-thousandth part OF the self-respect
that we ought to have. And the boy
at this time needs to have real tribute
paid to his personality, so that he will
feel that, after all, he ls somebody In
the world" Nothing could be truer
than this. If there Is n time In the life
Of boy when he should have a large

himself as really superior person.

Something New About Hay Fever.

It's from the just issued 1905
booklet of the United States Hay
Fever Association.
1t contains the latest theories re-
garding the disease by Herr Otto
Schultz. president of the Hay Fe-
yer Society of Germany.
I'VE have investigated the NAL
ady carefully and scientifically"
says Herr Schultz. land our re-
ports are based on the methods of
treatment which the sufferers have
reported to US, which have proved
useful or of no value in each par
ticular case from their own expert
ences."
Mr.. Schultz declares:
First-That the only cause of
hay fever is pollen.
Second-There is no connection
between govt, rheumatism and
other like ailments. and hay fever.
Persons suffering with or free
from those diseases are alike liable
to hay fever.
Third-There is no cure for hay
fever. although certain remedies
may give temporary relief and
ease the suffering from the malady.
Fourth-Dieting will not help
the hay fever sufferer. nor will the
wearing or not wearing of certain
kinds of clothing root out or d.
minish the effect of the malady.
Fifth-Baths, warm or cold,
head baths, foot baths or shower
baths, are of value only when the
sufferer is in a closed. damp room
in which there is no pollen.
Sixth-The only way to escape
hay fever is to be at various times
of the year in places where the hay
fever plants are not blooming and
there is no pollen.
Seventh-There is no real per-
manent cure for hay fever.

Lexington Herald, Aug s.
We have received from Rev. f.
W. McCorkle a communication
which we take pleasure in publish
ing below.
We do not know what steps, if
any. have been taken to raise a
fund for the erection of a mOnu-
ment to Uncle Ben Bigstaff.
There is no man we have ever
known who strove more valiantly
and gave of himself more freely to
the cause of his kind than did
Uncle Ben Bigstaff. and a mOnu-
ment to him, taking the form sug-
.gested by Rev. McCorkle. would
honor those who contributed to-
ward it more than it would honor
him. The memory of his services
and the result of his work are the
greatest of all honors to him.
We hope the suggestion made
will be adopted and that at the
reunion of Morgan's men at Parks
Hill this month definite steps will
be taken to perfect an organization
and raise a fund for such pur-
pose. He writes:
