Hay Fever as a Safety Valve.

A New York physician writing IN
the New York Sun on the subject OF
hay fever makes the unequivocal dec
laration that the disease is a boon
N disguise Fe also offers some
BRAND new facts on the subject. In
the first place, he says. hay fever is
not caused by any kind OF poilens;
on the other hand, he says, it is a
nervous disease, and an outlet for
certain poisonous matte for people
of a certain v temperament.
What, in other natures, declares M
doctor. would settle in some parts OF
the body in the form Of tuberculos.'
or kindred trouble, through hay few
by people of this tempe ament. !,
is a great safety valve, to be than"
fully received and nursed and
cher shed accordingly.
This is cheering advice to tn
members of the great 'sneeze army
Just pet, coax and encourage yoif
hay fever. The doctor says it needs
highly %nourishing foods and d ms
and the semidarkness and quit
the invalid. That is all. Just give it
a chance to come out well and alt
it has run its course OF a few We
you will enter a period of renew q
energy, health and strength. Suppress
it, continues the doctor, and you ar
simply canning the p~oisons your
system is striving to throw off.
The only consolation that is offer
ed ia the fact that after the disease
| has had it's swing it is finally car
| ried away as nicely as the vacuum
cleaner takes the dust out OF 20 J
| carpet. Which, after all is said an
| done, is poor consolation to the sui
ferer. However, the assertion that
pollens have nothing to do with the
disease except SO far as to irritate
the already tender mucous mem
branes, is borne out by the facts, in
as much as PREACHERS, editors and
other indoor worke s have the dis.
ease, while it is unqualifiedly assert
| ed that the a who works in the
| hfayfield does not have it. Personal
! observation would prove or disp owe
the assertion. Hay fever Wet ms,
therefore, can cheer up in the facl
that annually they are made over in
| to healthier individuals and that the
| disease is worth while mercy to Il axe
one feel so good afterwards" In

foremost psychologists, but its por
trayal upon the stage has been ne
elected heretofore.
THE Rosary" attacks the theme
boldly. 1t deals with the lives and
fortunes of a little group of people
living in the beautiful West Chester
County ear New York City. The hus.
band is a disbeliever in all religion;
his wife. a woman of serious con.
viction regarding faith in the things
ii life unseen. Strong N his belief
and thoroughly human, a priest moves
through the subtle story of this play
When doubt comes and the man and
Woman's lives are shattered, seem
ingly beyond human power to repair,
the priest analyses the situation and
by the power of his faith brings both
the people whom he loves back to
happiness.
Mingled with the darker colors of
human tragedy is a vein of natural
oomedy evolved from the events

TAFT vEToEs WOOL BILL
Asks Congress TO Pass Measure That
VIII Not Harm Industry
Points to Pledges.

Washington, Aug. 12.-For the sec
ond time within a year, President
Taft vetoed bill Friday to revise the
wool tariff schedule K of the Payne
Aldrich law. With message of dis
approval the president returned to
congress the measure evolved as a
compromise between the house and
the senate, holding that its low rates
would bring disaster to home indus
tries. He appealed to congress, how
ever not to adjourn until it has en-
acted measure substantially to re-
duce unnecessary existing duties"
without destroying protection for the
wool industry In the United States.
Il shall stand by my pledges to
maintain a degree of protection neces-
sary to Offset the differences in cost
of production here. and abroad and
viii heartily approve any bill reduc-
ing duties to this level" wrote Mr.,
Taft.
The bill sent to the White House
imposed an ad valoPem duty of 20
per cent on raw wool and of 40 per
cent on cloths. Both rates Mr. Taft
held insufficient to protect the grow.
er and the manufacturer.

Asserts Officials Searched His
Letters in Postal Probe.
CHARGES CALLED ABSURD
Assistant Postmaster General Grand
field Says inspectors Would Be
Punished to Full Extent if Caught
in the Act.

Washington, ID. C.--Discussion OF
the postofice appropriation bill was
enlivened when Senator La Toilette,
speaking on house provision grant
ing to employees of the postal service
the right to organize, deliberately
charged officials of the postoffice
with rifing his mail in an attempt
to interfere with an investigation he
was making into the postal service.
The Wisconsin senator declared
that his mail had been subjected to
an espionage almost Russian in char
acter" and he showed to the senator's
a bundle of letters which he said
had been tempered with
Absurd and ridiculous" are adj
jectiyes applied to Senator La Fol-
lettes charges by officials of the post
office department. 1t is declared pos
itively that if the senator's mail had
been rified the crime was committed
by somebody not connected with the
department.
DR.. Charles p Grandfield, first as
sistant postmaster general, said.
1--WE never have heard until now
that Senator La Follettes mail had
been tempered with / think the
senator is quite mistaken when he
charges that officials of the postof-
fee department rified his mail in an
attempt 70 learn the result of an in
vestigation he is making, or for any
other purpose. As to the senator's
statement that his mail was subject
ed to an espionage almost Russian
IN character, the charge is absurd, as
no one in the postoffice department
has the slightest interest in the re-
plies of the clerks to the senator's
inquiries. All mail addressed to
members of congress in Washington
passes out of the hands of the post
office department when it reaches
the senate and house postoftices."

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Pastor of Church Near Sparta De-
clares He Is the Object of
Pensioners Wrath

Sparta. Because he is in fear that
bodily harm will be done him every
time he leaves his home, Rev. Mr..
Stark, pastor of a German church
at Ridgeville, has appealed to Dis
trict Attorney Abel for protection.
The minister stated to the county
prosecutor that he is never able to
leave his house after nightfall with
out being bombarded with stale eggs,
rotten fruit and other kinds of
truck. He also exhibited several
anonymous communications he had
received in which threats were made
to dynamite his house, and do him
injuries of all sorts if he does not
give up his pastorate and leave the
community.
The preachers trouble is said to
be due to a fractional fight that has
been going on in his congregation
for years.
