Convention Of Hay Fever Sufferers -
Held This Week In New Hamp-
shire to Talk Over
Woes
sNIFFLEs NECESSARY
Gargles, Eye and Nose Washes Are
lnsisnIas Of This Great
and Powerful
y coneiave.

The great national sneeze-fest, the
annual convention Of the United
State Hay Fever association. was
opened in the Methodist church at
Bethlehem, New Hampshire, this
week. Hundreds Of red nosed, red
eyed, sneezing and shifting suffer
ers are in attendance from many
parts of the country. Armed with
atomizers, eye washes and eye cups,
throat gargles and handkerchief,
they have come together in annual
session to sympathize with one an
other and to get lines on new treat
ments which will enable them to
spend the months OF August and
September at home attending to
business.
Hay fever is not a pleasant disease
and it makes its victims suffer and
destroys their good temper. But II
is by far the best organized disease
in the country So far as is known
the iaundice sufferers have never
held a convention, and no one has
ever called a meeting OF those afflict
ed with improving toe-nails.
Organized Years Ago.
The United States Hay Fever as
sociation was organized more thar
forty wears ago. In some respects
the organization is most unusual. Fol
example, if the association Is success
ful its successes will exterminate the
organization totally. Up to date i
reports remarkable growth, which in
d;cates that it has been unsuccessful
why do people show such marked
desire to Join an unsuccessful organi

shows SO healthy q growth Do truly
described as unsuccessful?
The selection Of Bethlehem as the
place OF annual gathering was really
made on merit, for 1t has the largest
number Of exempt reports of all the
places where hay fever sufferers go
for relief. A popularity Of the dis
ease is that one place may be exempt
for some, partly for others, and not
at all for others. According to the
statistics prepared by the association,
New Hampshire leads all places as
haven for the persistent sneezers.
The convention was called to order
by the Main Sneeze." the Rev. Guy
Roberts Of New York. Dr.. Roberts
does not suffer from the disease. but
the association elected him president
for the reason that hayfeverites who
try to talk at the convention. punctu-
ate their remarks by too many
"Achoos." The principal feature OF
the presidential address was a bitter
attack on the handkerchief trust.
Have an Anthem.
When the presidents address had
been delivered and the customary
greetings exchanged, the convention
began its deliberations, as for many
years, with the singing OF the associa-
tons anthem, beginning:
BLOW, bugle, blow, set the Wild
echoes flying"
Occupying seat of honor near the
rostrum was the venerable Richard
Muckle of Philadelphia, former
president Of the association, who is
now in his ninetieth year. Mr.. Muckle
has sneezed successfully, he says, for
seventy-six consecutive years, and
hopes to sneeze some more.
One of the features of the yearly
convention is the reading of Oliver
Wendell Holmes "cure" for hay
fever: "Six feet OF clean gravel, six
feet down" Following this, it is Gus
tomary for the president to read off
q hundred or more hay fever cures
AS the names are read there are
sneezes OF approval or complimentary
."Achoos."
P. r. Jerome is the secretary OF
the association and one OF the leading
spirits at the convention. Mr.. Jerome
has been a very efficient secretary
and the chances are that he can re-
tain the job as long as he goes on
sneezfng and wants it. Under his
guidance the association has been
brought up to condition OF effec-
tiveness where members can be IN
formed Of a lot more places where
they can get hay fever now than was
the case in the early days OF the as
ISOLATION quarter of century ago.

Not alone do the members of the
association get together and commits
serate with each other, but they get
out a booklet each year which is full
of interest to those afflicted with the
disease. A table Of places Of com.
