of Elizabeth's subjects ate as grossly

But at the time Of Elizabeth there

an ardent advocate of the light break

advocated no breakfast at all for those
whose work in life was not especially
active. To those whose work was
active Doctor Venner was somewhat
lenient and advised q little breakfast

The Country Editors Revenge,

scribe that occasion and to show
how the editor got even with his
subscriber:
THAT was when Petty Amthorne

the Democrat to be the best paper
she had ever seen. He let Ayers
burst a couple of buttons from his
vest in his swelling pride before he
explained that the Democrat when
cut in two exactly fitted his wifC's
pantry shelves, and that she didn't
have to trim it bit. The old man
turned on his heel without word
and that week he kindled his old
time fires and wrote the followin
for the local page:

lawlessness and encourage license.

it is OFTEN repaid by dover Of

The child Of married parents,

allowed the sanction of society and
the courts, but it suffers through a

The first salute ever given to Old

HAY FEVER
BY DR.. r. r. Daniels

The hay fever season will soon be
upon us, soon will the red-nosed,
weeping-eyed victim of this common
disorder inform us between ''cach0os"
that this year it Is worse than ever. "
Hay fever is no respector Of persons
nor Of climates; it's victims may he
found among the rich and the poor
and in every locality.
The Direct Cause
Hay fever is due to an unusual SEN
sibility of the mucous membrane
which lines the upper nasal passages.
This is often a part of general over
sensitiveness Of the entire nervous
system. When tho nasal mucous
membrane is in representative con-
dition it is easily irritated by dust of
every kind. Pollen from flowers and
weeds is a frequent source Of irrita-
tfon. In some persons the dust of
horses or of hay will bring on. vio-
lent attack at any time Of the year.
The Underlying Cause
The unusual sensibility Of the mu-
cous membrane of the nose and up
per air passages is due largely to i'm
proper eating and to bad hygiene in
general In this way the body over
chargeid with waste materials, which
irritate the nervous system and cause
catarrhal condition of tho mucous
membranes Of the body, and thus lay
the basis for hay fever. Bony enlarge
ments and other abnormalities in the
nose frequently increase diseased con-
ditions in the nose and throat and in.
crease the tendency to hay fever.
The Cure
Changes Of climate with rest and
recreation which are usually included,
frequently stop the attack. A loca,
ton free from dust and from the
usual plants, the dust of which brings
on tho attack, often brings relief.
However. a certain way of relieving
this troublesome disorder is to build
up the general health, increase the
body's resistance through good by.
giene. The hay fever victim should
begin, even before the usual time for
the attack, to take every morning @
tepid sponge bath followed by q
thorough rubbing of the body with q
dry towel He should take some sys-
tematiic daily exercise, preferably out
OF doors, and he should sleep with
an abundance of fresh air in the bed
room. More important than everything
else Is the food. The diet should be
small in amount and easily digested;
1t should consist largely of fresh veg.
etables and fruits with but little meat
potatoes and bread.

CHILDREN OF LOVE

An absolutely legitimate child in
the eyes of heaven and earth to-
day requires the collaboration Of
God and law.
The generally accepted idea of
legitimate child is one born in wed
lock. According to the usage of
words it does suffice to legitimate a
child when a marriage ceremony has
taken place between the father and
mother.
But in the higher court of nature
something more is required. That
something is love between the par
ents, especially in the mothers heart
for the father Of her child.
That is the only excuse for con.
ception-

the long spiritual months a child

whose caresses are hateful to her

quently found born in wedlock, they
are rarely found born out of wed.
lock.
This is explainable through the
fact that women frequently marry
for other causes than love. Ambi-
ton. incidence and avarice lead more
brides to the altar in modern times
than love. They are not actuated
by the wifely or the maternal i'm.
pulses.
They are not even stirred by ma
lures sex impulse-that impulse
which brings SO few imperfect ami.
mails, insects, birds and plants into
existence.
They simply endure wifehocd and
motherhood as the price they pay for
the pride and privilege of occupying

and willing mothers to place no le.
gal barrier between the children
born in and out Of wedlock.
