NEW HOPE OF CURE for HAY FEVER

D ERHAPs no affection is more
common and more difficult to
relieve than hay fever. It Is
called hay fever because 1t makes
its appearance every Spring when
the meadows begin to flower The
disease is especially frequent in the
United States, England, Germany
and the north of France. 1t recurs
with despairing regularity every
year and sometimes several times
a year in persons who are unfor-
tunate enough to suffer first at
tack.
Hay fever sets in suddenly with
frequent attacks of sneezing. run
ming from the eyes. abundant secre.
ton from the nose and swollen
mucous membrane. rendering breath
ing impossible. 1t is frequently ac-
companied with fever and attacks
resembling asthma. Examination OF
the nose shows congestion oil tho
mucous membrane covering the tur.
binated bones.
Just what cause hay fever re-
mains good deal Of mystery.
The most generally accepted theory
is that it is not caused, as was for
merly supposed, by the pollen Of
flowers itself, but by some unknown
mlcrobe which finds an abiding
place in the pollen.
Al the time OF year when plants
flower this microbe evidently finds
conditions most favorable for its
development. When tho pollen is
scattered through the air the
microbes go with It and when they
reach the mucous membranes OF
the eyes, nose or bronchial tubes

 The death of Judge Jones marks the passing of one of the most prominent and honored Alabamians of his generation
 Since 1901 he was judge Of the United States court for the middle district of ,Hlabama. Prior to his appointment on the federal bench he served his state for two terms governor. from 1890 to 1894. Judge Jones served Alabama in many other honorable capacities and his death will be mourned by people throughout the entire state.
 Immediately after his death the state flag was placed at half mast on the capitol by order of the governor The governor further directed that the front entrance to the statehouse be draped in mourning as tribute to the yformef chief executive.
