.HAVRE De Grace OPENS
With A Banner CROWD

BALTIMORE. Sept 22.-The Mary
land fall racing season began at the
Havre de Grace track yesterday with
a banner crowd of 5000 and plenty Of
snappy contests. The hot weather
proved beneficial TO the thorough
breds, and under its influence they
showed plenty of speed.
That bookmaking is the popular
form Of speculation here was mad.
evident by the large amount Of money
the knights of the odds handled hn
each race. Tom Shaw, the heaviest
operator on the line, turned over near
ly $4,000 in bets on the six races, and
other pencilers did a proportionate
amount of business.
That the Hartford County Associa-
ton is after every dollar of the pa
irons OF racing was clearly shown by
the number of bookmakers i'm the ring.
/ Twenty-Five drew stands. Each paid
Sl20 for the privilege of operating
q total of $3.50. The six races cost
the management $4,000, as they gave
away that amount i'm purses. II will
be seen from this that the Hayre dc
Grace track does not pay its program
out OF the money obtained from the
ring, but depends largely on the gate
receipts to meet expenses.

HAY FEVER

Now that the closed season for
hay fever has arrived we may safely
venture to discuss this delicate uues-
tion. Victims of the disease have
poured in a veritable avalanche of
inquiries about it which we made up
our mind to answer in this article
after the season had closed. It seem.
ed foolhardy to risk saying anything
about it while the country was up
in arms.

periodic rhinitis? It is a neurosis,
like hives or hysteria, to which GER
tain individuals are susceptible un-

actions are attributed to peculiar,
perhaps hereditary, sensitiveness Of
nerve coils. And it is safe to say
that each of them, hay fever, in
cluded, can be overcome by educat-
ing the nerve cells.
For instance, a physician handled
for the first time an anaesthetic,
antiseptic busting powder in treat
ing a wound. In a few hours ne
suffered severe eruption Of eryth-
ema and hives which rendered him
unacceptable. It laid him low for
over a week. But no one suspected
the medicine, for he had never ex-
hibited any particular idiosyncrasy
or Representatives, before. But
a few weeks later he again busted
wound with the same powder, and
once more suffered severe eryth-
ema, and this time it was not SO
general and did not disable him.
Now he began to be suspicious. He
carefully refrained from handling the
drug for months. Curiosity over
came his doubts finally, and he cauti-
ously uncorked the vial and merely
touched the powder with his finger.
Immediately washing it off. In
few hours he experienced a moderate
crythema and hives. This same
thing happened half a dozen times
thereafter, but at last he found that
he could handle the stuff with i'm
punity.
Why? Because, by repeated small
doses (absorbed by inhalation or
possibly through the skin) he had
immunized his system against the
drug He had educated his nerve
cells.
There is just one sure cure for hay
fever. Find out what precipitates
your attack. whether it be a specific
pollen, the emanations given off from
horse, a cat, or other animal.
Then, with the intelligent aid of

IDAHO HAS LARGE CROP

While Idaho farmers are elated
over a so per cent increase in their

PEELED to be content with a crop

ditions were all against the potato

AS a result Of partisan legislation.
the American people must now SUBJ

ness men and wage earners of tho
country, instead of reducing their ap
preparations by nearly 100000, 900
for projects which are necessary, if
not questionable. or by restoring tariff
duties which, on sugar alone would
bring in revenue of over $50, 0OO, 900
per year.
Tho Underwood Tariff law has re-
suited in great damage to the bust

State, but the beet sugar industry has
suffered irreparably and will be fore
ed out of existence if the tariff is
finally removed, as provided for in
the Underwood tariff law. Farmers
will not raise beets if the price be
reduced, and sugar manufacturers can
not compete with foreign manufac-
turers without reducing the cost of
production. A slight reduction has

WHY SlLoS FALL DOWN

1t is about time for someone to
start an investigation to learn the
reason why SO many silos are falling
down. Anyone who has occasion to
read the various country weekly news
papers is astonished at the number OF
wood and concret silos that are re.
ported as falling over. It would be
found perhaps that the reason in
most cases embraced the old causes

farmer should know that he can not
get good work and good goods unless

War a Boon to
Postal Savings

The war in Europe is proving q
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hostilitie
opened across the seas postal-savings
receipts began to increase by leaps
and bounds and Withdrawals fell off

who, in their imagination, saw lines
of feverish depositors at post-office
pay windows anxious to again return
their savings to the bootleg and body.
belt depositors whence they came
before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But
the forecasters failed to reckon on the
absolute confidence of the American
citizen, regardless of the flag that
first met his eyes, in the ability and
purpose of the Government to carry
out it's obligations, not only among
the nations of the earth, but with the
humblest citizen of our land.
Two important results have follow
ed; thousands Of people, largely of
foreign birth, accustomed to send the'
savings abroad, are now patrons Of
our postal-savings system; and enor-
nous sums of actual cash have been
released for commercial uses among
our people at time when the need
for every available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady AMI
healthy and the system has filled
an important gap between the tin-can
depository and the factory paymaster.
On July l, when affairs were running
smoothly and abroad and the trans
mission of money across the Atlantic
was safe and expeditious there was
approximately $43,000,000 Of postal
savings standing to the credit of about
1888, 900 depositors. Since then over
100000 of deposits have been ad.
ded and the number of depositors has
increased enormously This unpre-
cedented gain is the more striking
when it is considered that the net
gain in the last three months is larger
than the gain for the entire fiscal
year 1914. Scores of offices have
done more postal-savings since the
war has been going on than was
done by them during the previous ex-
istence of the service The increases
are confined to no special localities
but have been fell in every nook and
corner of the country. New York
City alone made a gain in September
of more than a million, while Brook
lyn showed a relatively big increase
Chicago reported larger gain in the
past three months than for the prey
ious twelve months. More than 1000
new accounts were opened during the
period, bringing the number of de.
positors in that city up to over 21 900
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only adde |
