Now that the automobile season
has arrived it is we'll for all hands to
exercise a bit of care in meeting
teams. Be sure to obey the law and
there need be no fear of serious re-
suits. This does not meal that all
care should be on the side of the
autoist, but that drivers of horses
should be likewise cautious. Autos
have as much right to the highways
as any other vehicle-a fact that
should be remembered.

The original Jeff Davis used to be
listened to in the Senate with more
attention than is accorded to the
later law-maker who bears that
name. 1t is said that when the Ar
kansas Jeff made his animated talk
the other day he had three Senate
rial auditors, one of whom was his
colleague from ARK ansas, who of
course remained out of courtesy
while the diatribe was delivered.
When the Arkansas Davis was cleo
ted to the Senate it was said that
Tillman would have rival in lurid
oratorv in the new conner. but Til
man cannot hold a candle to Davis
IN that kind of harangue. Still, as
Mr.. Lincoln used to remark, For
those who like that sort of thing,
that is exactly the sort of thing they
like and Arkansas appears to like
being represented in the National
Senate by the Davis variety of sta tes-
men.

The village of Ludlow held its an

over the article TO raise a tax to de-

was no need of so doing, enough
money being received from its light

HAY FEVER CONVENTION

Bethlehem. n. H., Aug. 2S.-The
Society OF Sufferers from Sneezitis.
otherwise known as the United
States Hay Fever Association is
holding n national convention here
today, with program devoted en-
tirely to a consideration of the IA
vorite malady of the delegates.
Bethlehem was selected as the meet
ing place because of its enviable
reputation as retreat for hay fe-
yer sufferers. this section being al
most exempt from the hay fever
pollen. This is the thirty-fifth an
nual meeting of the association.
Great excitement was caused
among the delegates by the reading
of report from DR.. Otto Schultz,
president of the Heufeber-Bund Won
Helgoland, or Hay Fever Society of
Germany in which he declared that
there is no permanent cure for hay
fever. Herr Schultz declares.
/. That the only cause of hay
fever is pollen.
2. There is no connection be-
tween gout rheumatism and other
like ailments, and hay fever. Per-
sons suffering with or free from
those diseases are alike liable to
hay fever.
8. There is no cure for hay fe-
yer, although certain remedies may
give temporary relief and ease the
suffering from the malady.
4. Dieting Will not help the hay
fever sufferer nor will the wearing
or not wearing of certain kind of
clothing root out or diminish the
effect of the malady.
5. 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.
6. The only way to escape hay
fever is to be at various times OF
the year in places whore the hay
fever plants are not blooming and
there is no pollen.
7. There is no real permanent
cure for hay fever.
Reports show that New Hampsh,r
climate is more favorable to hay fe-
yer sufferers than any other section
Of the country. although some have
found relief in California. Michigan,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
