HAY FEVER

In the beginning of an attack OF Hay
Fever the patient experiences a sense
of uneasiness about the nasal pass
ages, with a slight disposition to
sneeze. Gradually these symptoms in
crease. and often there is an Intense
itching of the nasal passages, with a
profuse wateTy discharge which neces-
states the constant use Of the hand
kerchief. In aggravated, cases the dis
charge drips continually from the
nose. later the mucous membrane be-
comes so congested that the secre-
lions present a grayish color. The
inflamed mucous membrane natural
" causes more or less stenosis, OF
narrowing or closing Of the nasal pass
ages, which adds greatly to the dis
comfort Of the sufferer; oftentimes
the nasal passages are entirely closed
up.
If the patient lies on the side, the
nasal passage which is uppermOSt be-
comes open, while the fluid collects in
the parts below; or, if the patient lies
on the back, the flow passes to the
rear portion, causing a complete stop
page of the nasal passages. The fluids
which escape from the nose are often
irritating, and very frequently give
rise to irritation around the opening
of the nose and lip, and sometimes
even result in eczema. The eyes be
come cOngested and the lips red and
itching. If the disease is allowed to
run an attack of asthma often sets
in. The asthmatic symptoms are usual
ly confined to the night time, al
though the waking hours are often
characterized by shOrtness of breath
ing, which the patient describes as
wheeling.
Hay Fever is a trea cherOus dis
ease, but almost every case yields to
proper cure and treatment. Every
sufferer from this insidlOus and de-
ceptive disease should consult Drs.
Shores & Shores at once and be quick
ly cured at little cost.

six months at the elephants feet,

like fan in her trunk, and from time
to time gracefully waved it over the
slumbering child, whether to temper
the heat of the atmosphere or to keep
off flies, l am unable to say. The
gentle way in which she moved her
feet over the child, and across to each
side, astonished me. l sent for a white
loaf and some oranges, and calling her
by name (she was never chained),
tried in vain to tempt her to my side
on the low veranda. Nothing would
induce her to leave her charge.
The warm air and the monotonous
wave of the swinging fan overpowered
me with drowsiness, to which l yield

Here is a charming little expert
ment with which you can entertain a

All you need is a spool, a pencil, a

any of our readers can easily find
about the house, with the possible ex-

you can replace by hatpin, if you

Fill the tumbler with water, nearly

- Der OF BANKING FIRM.
Why Famous Financier Has Chosen
Henry p. Dawson for an ,Aid-sue- il,
r. cess Won by Energy, intes-
rity and Brains. &,


New York-Among the men who
have won their way to fortune and a
commanding place in the financial
world will have to be written the name
OF Henry P. Davidson, late vice-presi-
dent of the First National bank, but
who on January l became a partner in
the banking house of ]. P. Morgan &
Co.
To men of finance the name of
Henry P. Dawson is very familiar,
and stands for all that goes to make
up the successful banker and man of
affairs, for although but Al years Of
age, Davidson has made himself felt
as power in the money morld.
Henry P. Dawson is strictly a self
made man. Every dollar he possesses
he made from the raw material Of en-
ergy, hard work, application, honesty
and quick intelligence. When about
10 years ago he came to New York
from Bridgeport, Conn.,, he was merely
"a bright, active, enthusiastic young fel-
low, who had had little experience
as bank clerk in his native town of
Troy, Pa, and in Bridgeport. He had
a few hundred dollars, but his real
capital was in his head.
The little money he had then can
not be considered as even the nucleus
of the fortune he has acquired since,
for Mr.. Dawson does not owe his sue
cess to frugality and saving; he owes
1t to keen business foresight and
knowledge of finance, and to the conf
dence of moneyed men he has won.
He was born in Troy, Pa, little
town near the northern border of the

keepers. ~. =
All kinds of material are employed
in the cabinets that are for sale. Some
are artistic arts and crafts creations,
and others are deliberately covered with
plush. However, it is entirely un-
necessary to buy an expensive fireless
heater, as many housewives have
proved. The accompanying picture
gives an idea of how the box should be
constructed. One of the best home:
made tireless cookers was made by,
the man of the house out of large
wooden box, whose cover fitted snug
ly after it was placed on hinges. This
he lined with asbestos paper, which
cost only few cents A large two
quart granite kettle completed the out
fit. When the kettle was placed in
the box it was completely surrounded
with small pieces of newspaper, which
fitted in all the chinks and corners.
After the food was brought to the boil
ing point it was placed in the kettle,
securely covered, and the result has
been perfectly cooked food, at small
outlay. Rolled newspapers were first
used in this experiment, but did not
prove success, as the air could get
around them, and they could not be-
packed as tightly as the paper clip.
pings.
Still another family has construct
ed a flreless cooker out of an old
trunk. The trunk holds three large
covered granite kettles and around
them is securely packed as much hay
as the trunk will hold. A clean piece
Of flannel is placed on top of the YES
sells after they are filled and covered.
When the trunk lid is fastened down,
1t is left undisturbed all day. This
woman is employed down town all day.
She pares her potatoes and other vege-
tables after breakfast and puts them
over to boil. AS soon as they reach
boiling point she places them in the
receptacles in the Norwegian stove
(once trunk, and when she re.
turns at six o'clock her dinner is com
pletely cooked and ready for her. In
this way meat and two or more vege-
tables are easily prepared By using
double boilers, such as are used to
cook oatmeal, this woman manages to
make one receptacle hold two kinds
Of food, and can cook as many as
eight different articles.
This woman's experiment was so
successful that another-a china paint
er-tried using large tin cracker
box. In this she placed. tin kettle
and covered it closely with excelsior
which came around her china A
piece of carpet was laid on top and the
box closed. The result, after leaving
the food for day and first boiling it
for 20 minutes, was entirely satisfac-
tory. When she wants to take the
food out sooner she reheats it and
replaces it after it is thoroughly warm
In fact, there are countless ways in
which this fireless cooking can be
tried. The basic rules, and without
adherence to these one will fail, are to
use an alright box filled with a non
conductor Of heat, and to have the
food steaming and at boiling point when
1t is placed inside.

the end of piece of thread through
each hole. Now, knot the other ends
of the thread together.
Stick one end of your hatpin into
the side of the cork near the top, and
lay the knitting needle across the top
of the pencil, with the bottom of the
cork resting on the surface of the
water in the glass. You would better
have a tiny groove in the top of the
pencil.
On the other end of the knitting
needle suspend the triangular bit of
pasteboard as the picture shows. Now,
says Good Literature, you are ready
for your experiment.
Ask each of your friends to guess
how many matches can be laid on
the pasteboard without overbalancing
the needle and drawing the cork from
the water. They will guess absurdly
low numbers-two, three, four, etc.,
for the weight of the card alone will
make the cork bob up and down and
look as if it might be lifted from the
water at any moment
Now pile match after match on the
cardboard and you will find that q
good sized pile will be required be-
fore the corn can be lifted from the
water; pile weighing much more
than the cork
This is due to quality of the wa.
ter called surface tension" which
holds on to things with very real
force, and by weighing first the cork
and then the matches on a small scale
you can find out just what is the sur
face tension of the water in the glass !;
it will be just the difference in weight
between the cork and the matches.

THE BAD CHILD.

Come. Little Badness, and climb to my
knee;
Put your head down here and cry on
my shoulder.
For badness in you is like badness in me,
Only my own is the older.
If you were a papa and wore high hat
I wonder if you would be talky and
bossy,
And then when yo,sr little girl answered
like that,
Would you say she was ugly and
saucy?
If you were mamma and wore long
skirt,
I wonder If you would grow weary Of
service,
And then when you scolded and made
her feel hurt,
Would you say she was naughty" or
"nervous?"
If you were the strong .one and I were
the weak,
When you punished me, then would I
thank you?
And when I was crying too sohby to
speak,
Wouldn't I long to spank you?

Nothing is more fun for little girl

all nations by dressing them in suit
able national costumes.
There may be any number of dolls
In the doll family-the more the mer-
rier-and it isn't at all necessary that
they should be young or fresh, or even
whole, when the family is started A
one-armed doll, or one with one leg or
eye, will do very nicely for a Ger
man soldier who has seen service, or
even for one of our own sailors or
soldiers who has been to the wars. A
battered doll, long past first youth
with scanty locks and a damaged
nose, will not look out Of place as an
old peasant woman in the costume of
any Of the countries of Europe. There
should be Chinese and Japanese dolls,
whose costumes are not hard to make.
If one has not real oriental express
sion to start with it is not difficult to
make it by little attention to the eye
brows and the hair. For the eyebrows
the water-color paints will be useful.
There should be black.haired Span.

If possible; a colored Dinah and an

South Sea islanders. All these are
necessary in very complete collec-
ton, but of course they can be COL
lected gradually or made over from
discarded dolls Of the Anglo-Saxon
race. It is perfectly possible to paint
the white dolls black, brown, yellow or
copper colored, and to dye, frizz or
braid their hair into suitable wigs.
Care must be taken, however, to see
that the eyes are dark when the dark

The WaIrus', Defenses,

A full-grown walrus will weigh as
much as 1000 pounds; mountainous
mass of muscle and blubber, says the
St. Nicholas. He is armed with tusks
of ivory. sometimes two feet in length,
and when from his upreared bulk
these formidable weapons are plunged
downward upon an enemy, they are
as resistless as the. drop of a guillo-
tine. Such a thick layer of blubber
lies under the skin that he is practic.
ally clad in an armor impervious to
teeth and claws alike. So, unless the
bear is greatly favored by luck, he
has little chance to overthrow his
antagonist
