HAY FEVER.

Weeks after the close of past hay
fever season met . victim and his
wife Ia the northern woods. The man
was one of the most superb hunters ]
ever saw. His real occupation was that
of merchant In a southern Wisconsin
city.
| The wife told me that for years her
husband had been obliged to leave his
business in the late summer for a
sojourn in the woods to secure relief
from his hay fever. She explained,
without smile, that that year they
had TO postpone their trip until after
the regular season on account of his
business being so heavy that it could
not be left.
And that indicates one very import
ant phase of hay fever. II has been
factitiously remarked that hay fever
only attacks those whose business and
means permit the luxury. While it is
true that there is big nervous ele-
ment in hay fever, nevertheless the
peculiar disorder isn't all nerves nor
all imagination.
The lining mem brane of the nose is
peculiarly sensitive in hay fever vic
Tins. Sometimes this sensitiveness is
due to some growth or other unnatural
condition. In cases of this nature,
successful treatment of these disorders
removes the tendency to hay fever.
On top of the peculiar neurosis and
the sensitive membrane. which may
be nervous Representatives,, there
is some rrita,nt-commonly the pollen
of some Towering plant. The irritant
isn't necessarily confined to such sour
ces, however. In the case of one emf
neat sufferer, cited by Osler, "a GER
tain sort of feather pillow" acted as
the excitant. In another of my own
acquaintance, flax seed poultice
would invariably bring on a typical
seizure.
Hay fever is too common to cali for
any description here of its symptoms.
While large amount of clinical and
laboratory research is being carried on
to determine possibly more specific
cause and a "sure enough remedy"
nothing new has been established. A
single mail delivery brought two in
auiries for "some new relief measure. J"
A. suggestion of danger lies in these
and the thousands of similnr queries
that are being made at this season.
1t is a well known fact amongst
physicians that many drug fiends have
been made by drugs employed to give
relief Hay fever remedies of secret
formulate should be Stunned. They are
almost certain to owe whatever relief
they may afford to dangerous, habit
forming drugs. A victim may better
chance ''sneezing his head off, than to
tempt drug fiend's reason for blow
ing out his brains. If the treatment of
conscientious physician doesn't sue
coed in making symptoms tolerable,
one had mucn better seek hay fever
victims resort at any cost.
One can, howeve, fight the nervous
frame of mind which, as l have sug-
gested above, is factor in probably
every case. Certainly there is no sense
in beginning to sneeze in the presence
of artificial flowers, as has been done.

THE AVAILABLE LAND AREA.
(Fond din Lac Commonwealth. }

(Fond du Lac Commonwealth
The Wisconsin Bulletin, in discuss.
ing The Available Land Area" says
"Some one has prepared an article,
which has been reprinted in many pa
pers, to the effect that we are using
only about one-fourbh of che tillable
lands of the United States. This is
an error. We are tilling more than
one-fourth of all the land area of the
country, and the land in farms in
cludes nearly so per cent of all the
lands In the country. There should
be g distinction between land and
| tillable land. The man who prepared
the article in question assumes that
the mountains, the rocky regions-in
fact, all lands--are tillable, while the
authorities indicate that but trif1e
more than 10 per cent of our tillable
lands are yet unoconpied. The land
now In farms is but a little over SO
per cent under cultivation, bit there
are no figures showing how much
the improved acreage of our farms
may be increased, The fact Is that
the increase has been very slow in
recent years"
The distinction made by the Bulle-
tin is timely and should furnish ma
terial for reflection. OF the millions
of acres of untitled lands in the United
States today a large percentage will
be found untillable. Another con-
siderable percentage will be found
arid and requiring expensive irriga-
ton. Still another percentage, thong h
tillable, may be found i'll adapted to
agriculture by reason of soil oondi-
tions. Thus there is a wide difference
between the acreage of untitled lands
and the acreage of untitled lands
available for cultivation and the pro.
fitable production of crops.
All of this should have much sig
nificanoe TO the land holder and to
the prospective land holder. The fer
tile acres, the acres that can be made
to produce abundant crops, will be in
steadily increasing demand and the
people are coming to understand that
while Wisconsin still has much such
land, in the course of few years it
will be converted into productive
farms. The transition of thousands
upon thousands of acres OF Wisconsin
unoecupied lands into farms is TAX
ing place each year and there isn't
a doubt but that this development
will continue until every acre is TAX
en- up for Wisconsin, besides having
the rich lands, also lies right at the
doorway to the worlds best markets.
This means that Wisconsin has but
fairly entered upon its period of
growth and development for far-ses-
ing, discriminating land seekers will
be inclined TO pick on Wisconsin first
and let the more remote sections wait
their turn.

158-POUNDERS
Class Has Been Three Years
Finding Itself, Declares
Sailor Petroskey.
By H. M. Walker.

OS ANGELES, Feb. 12.-That
the unfortunate death of that
truly wonderful boxer, Stanley
Ketchel, was in a measure RESPONSE
BILE for the temporary shelving of the
1888 pound division is the novel idea
held by Sailor" Ed Petroskey.
In any line of business you must
have a pace maker" said the big
blonde boy yesterday. "Ketchel was
such a whirlwind that he had all the
middleweights keyed up to the high
est possible notch.
None of them could whip him:
they knew it as well as the champion,
but his dashing methods kept the
men trying, kept them working to
improve themselves, and the result
was that from 1908 to 1909 this class
was on an equal basis of public popu-
larity with the lightweights.
When KetChel was killed the bot
tom dropped right out from under the
division. Papke, Kelly, Mantell and
the rest of that bunch began to run
around in a circle, each claiming the
title.
Promoters and public alike soon
lost interest. In few months a sec
ond crop sprang up, worse than the
old one for the simple reason that
they had no pace maker. Young
Herrick, Morrow and all that crowd
flashed and disappeared.
Meanwhile real lot was develop
ing. To-day we have Clabby, Chip
McGoorty, Dillon, McAllister and my
self.
4 have studied my own division
and no man in the world can tell me
anything about the history of the
Founders We have had a couple
of bad years, but it is my honest be-
lief that had Ketchel lived there new
er would have been a day when the
middleweights did not rank as the
most popular of ALI the classes. There
must be a head to everything. Our
class lost its head and was three
years in finding it.
Who was the great middleweight?
We had three of them-Jack Demp-
sey Bob Fitzsimmons and Ketchel. I
am proud to box in a division honored
by such names as these"
