HAY FEVER.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

For more than a quarter OF a century
a body OF philanthropic physicians and
laymen interested in the relief Of hay
fever sufferers have held an annual con-
vention at Bethlehem, n. H., for dis
cussing the causes and possible cures Of
this aggravating ailment. Because Of
its altitude. Bethlehem offers relief to
most hay fever victims. and at the con-
ventions there are always numerous
comparisons of symptoms made by those
who have had experience with the mall
ady. There are always some new reme-
dies suggested and some new experiments
reported. and the object Of the United
States Hay Fever Association is to en-
deavor to find some absolute cure.
There is probably no disease known
to the profession which is so battling to
the physician and regarding which so
little progress in treatment has been
made in the past half century. 1t is
called hay fever because it was formerly
associated with the haying season, and
yet every physician has numberless cases
which occur at other seasons Of the year
and seem to nave no apparent connection
with the pollen Of goldenrod. ragweed
and other plants supposed to produce 1t.
The hay fever association has offered
number of prizes In different years for
treatment. Some OF the essays are con-
sidered excellent and authoritative. yet
not one of them has been able absolutely
to determine the causes Of a large per-
centage OF the cases. And. so far as is
known at present, there is no cure al
though skillful physicians are continually
making experiments in the hope Of find-
ing one.

instruction by Trained Nurses.
1t Is probable when Mr.. Oyster. who
is on a trip east, returns to Washington
an effort will be made to have the plans
combined or operated separately.
Health Officer Woodward is of the
opinion that the best results will be OBJ
tanned by having the children attend the
schools separately.
THE little girls could meet trained
nurses at the stations regularly he
said, "and. in an interesting way, be
taught how to properly care for children
that so often are placed in their care
According to Mr.. Oyster. the attend
ance at the schools of little girls and
their mothers together would more
strongly impress upon them the impor-
tance Of the proper care OF babies. 1t
is his plan to have monthly meetings
conducted at each station. when interest
ing programs will be given. refreshments
will be served, and an effort made to
make the meetings of an enjoyable as
well as instructive nature.

Keep Healthy
and Vigorous

Loss Of appetite, lack of energy.
quickness to tire are not, as you think,
a natural result of hot weather. but
are really symptoms of disordered
physical condition They show to
trained mind that the organs of the
body, from many causes. are not prop
erly performing their respective du,-
ties-the stomach may easily digest
some kinds of foods and reject others
the kidneys. or liver, may be slight
ly> or greatly out OF order-and any
one, or all of these conditions, may be
responsible for debilitated system.

Schools Open in September.

Whether the schools are to be operated
for mothers and their daughters together
or separately, representative OF Mr..
Oyster today said the schools probably
will be opened not later than the latter
part of September. 1t is planned to keep
the schools going as long as the stations
are maintained. and Mr.. Oyster has an
nounced he has no intention Of abandon
ing the latter.
Health Officer Woodward was pleased
when told this morning that Mr.. Oyster
his own.
New York is provided with schools Of
this kind he said, ''and Washington
should not be without them. Undoubt-
edly, they are capable of accomplishing
much good, and the health interests of
the city should be materially benefited"

Most of these
Many Get Relief; have been tenn
Few Really Cured. but the cures
have been few, If any. 1t is estimated
that at the present time there are fully
a million people in the United States
who suffer from hay fever, although only
a small proportion of them attempt to
go to any resort for relief.
Physicians generally agree that the
MALAY is more apt to attack persons who
belong to the professional or commercial
classes rather than to the laboring class.
The latest concensus of opinion places
hay fever with the nervous disorders,
Notwithstanding its organic symptoms.
The higher the refinement and civiliza-
ton of the individual the more highly
organized is his nervous system, which
perhaps accounts for the prevalency OF
hay fever among the well-to-do.
Against this theory. however. is urged
the statement that laboring people are
minor ailment than those who have
greater leisure to devote to thinking OF
their physical discomfort, and that conse-
quently many cases are unreported Num-
bers of people pursue their daily avoca-
tions while suffering severely from hay
fever which is to them only a severe
cold In fact many so-called summer
colds" would be diagnosed as hay fever
IL a physician were consulted.
While concedng that hay fever is par
TALLY nervous disorder and Is greatly
affected by the general physical condi-
ton of the patient, physicians yet agree
that it is caused very frequently by the
pollen of certain weeds. Ragweed and
goldenrod are the two plants most fire.
quently blamed with starting the trouble,
although there are many others. includ-
ing several of the grains, which have the
same effect upon some people. Golden
rod is generally considered the most mis-
chievous, and as in some localities this
plant continues to bloom until after the
first heavy frost it extends the duration
of hay fever until winter
But there are many other causes of hay
fever Many people suffer an attack. of

he would frequently be unable to con-
tinue his work for days if he inadvert-
emily came in contact with blooming

Many amusing stories are told regard
ing the effect of the imagination upon his
malady. One eminent physician who de-
voted a great deal Of attention to the
study Of this disease had patient who
was likely to have violent attack every
time she went into a room where there
were cut roses. Believing the malady in
her case to be largely nervous irrita-
ton he tried the experiment of present
ing her with a uli-blown rose one morn
ing when she came into his ofhce to con-
suit him about another matter. Within
five minutes the malady became apparent
and continued severely for several hours,
even after she had discovered that the
rose was an artificial one.
Another doctor claims to have had
hay fever patient who was stricken in the
winter time while standing before pic
ture of a hay field in an art gallery. An
equally absurd story is told of man
who believed that he would always have
hay fever every time that he came IN
contact with a horse. He went with
party of friends on fishing excursion
