HAY FEVER TIME
rs NEARLY OVER
Advent of Cool Weather is Hailed
With Delight by an Army of
Sufferers.

Springfield Register: 1t is with
great and genuine pleasure that the
State Register weather reporter
takes his typewriter in hand to write
a commentary on the meteorologic
conditions of the past day, for It is
hereby known that the said reporter
is one of that large class of unfor-
Inmates known as Chronic hay fever
sufferers" No more will he be forced
to carry multitudinous handker-
chiefs, in his various pockets, no more
will the end of his nose necessitate
soothing treatment after a non-union
day of sneezing, no more Will his
loud and sonorous kerchews drown the
merry click of the linotype machine
and interfere with the activities of
the telephone boy, and no more, OH
no more will he break the office
rules against profanity.
Peculiar it is how one can forget
his past sufferings and partake bliss
fully of the joys of today. In vain
would one listen on the street cor
ners for any expression of that timid
sticky and sweltering period We have
so lately passed through. A few days
ago. as we sat streaming with pers-
piration and swearing disconnected
ly at our equally unfortunate and
guiltless neighbor, we thought we
would never forget it. But now that
the agony is passed and while we
are anxiously waiting to see what
new variety of weather will develop
we feel like the man who has just
been dismissed from the dentists
office, with the phrase, We'll 4 guess
your teeth are alright now for a
