FRIDAY. THIRTEENTH.
NO UNX PRODUCER

Friday, the thirteenth, today, was
bereft of jinx provoking properties. At
least it would seem so, for not an ar
rest was made, so that no one can
blame his arrest ON the unlucky day
of the week and month. Neither has
a single accident been reported. No
one has had anything stolen or lost.
So the day was very much of hoax
for those who expected to hear of a
series Of dire misfortunes.
Persons who walked under a ladder,
or may have crossed the path of a
black cat must have had their fingers
crossed to ward off the jinX for no one
was met with any misfortune. Super
stitious persons who looked over their
left shoulder at the new moon last
night and felt that the omen portend
ed i'll, must have felt disappointed to-
day over the absolute lack OF recog
milton by the fates of these infallible
forebodings of hard luck.

BOARD TO HOLD
SESSION INTO
THIRD WEEK

The city trustees, sitting this week
as a board of equalization, will prob
ably not complete their work for some
time, it was announced today. The
board will hold session today for the
last time this week and sometime with
in the next 2 weeks when the eXamina-
ton of the tax roll will have been
completed, they will listen to the COM
plants of property owners who feel
that their holdings have been assessed
at a valuation that is too high.
1t is the plan of the board, it was
announced to complete the tax roll
inspection next week and then discon-
tinue the meetings until the following
week to ALLOW property owners suf-
ficient time TO receive notification of
any changes that may have been made.
The business district valuations have
been about completed and the board
expects to begin in the residential sec
ton soon.

Meanwhile, the United States Hay
Fever association, whose headquarters
are in New York, is waging q great
fight to immunize further parts Of
the country, by lobbying for anti
weed laws.
AZ for the remedies-well, the as
sociation recently in convention assem-
bled at Fire Island, N. y, heard 100
remedies discussed. including every
thing from pyscho-analysis and hyp-
notism to osteopathy and bleeding.
Some members declared they had tried
them all, and in vain!
But hope for the hay feverite is
at last actually beginning to dawn!
At least ten or dozen American
physicians are now experimenting with
various methods of immunization, and
each reports q great number Of sue
Icessful cases.
Some inject toxin made from
mixture of ragweed and nettles; 9th
ers vaccinate their patients with a
serum from rabbits into whose blood
toxin has been injected. Though these
doctors do not claim to cure hay fever,
they declare that they have rendered
their patients immune for one season
or more.
Anti ti-vaccinationists have evolved
another variety of hay fever cure.
This year, clad in heavy furs, they
are spending two hours each morning
in cold storage refrigerator. Relief
for the day is thus assured, according
to several New York society women,
who take the cure regularly in the
Woolworth building storage vaults.

By Kenneth w. Payne.

New York, Aug. 13.-SiX hundred
and thirteen million two hundred
thousand separate and distinct
sneezes! That is a record for reso-
nation almost the equal of the can
nonading in Europe, and devotees of
the annual sneeze declare it will be
realized in the United States of Amer
lea before the hay fever season, now
just open, has terminated!
According to P. F. jerome, secre-
tary of the United States Hay Fever
association, there are 100000 persons
in this country who are annually
preyed upon by the pesky poisons of
the pollen. Officials of the associa-
tion claim that 73 sneezes a day is a
low estimate for each person, and AZ
days is the minimum length of their
All lllCllol' iHlS ny Sllllpl NdlCuid-
lation is obtained the foregoing ter
rifying total of the nasal titilations
terminating in temper-trying tempests
known as sneezes.
As a matter of sad fact there are
probably hundreds of hay fever VIC
tins today in Ell Centre who aren't
included in the above total, who
haven't the time nor the means to
seek safety in one of the "high and
dry" zones marked "immune" on the
hay fever map, and yet who suffer
and sneeze and suffocate and weep, to
the pitiless amusement of their friends
throughout the weary season while
the noxious ragweed blooms.
For these the unsung and neglected
victims of Dame Natures annual cam
paign of "schrecklchkeit" the follow
ing article is written. 1t tells all that
is known about the wherefore and the
cure of the great American sneeze,
and as this topic will soon have sup
planted the war and the weather in
all leading conversations, it is advised
that every reader of the Press
acquaint himself with the following
facts.
! Hay fever was discovered (for lit
erary purposes) about century ago
by chap named Bostock who lived in
England.
There are 1870 plants known whose
pollen carries the particular poison
which produces hay fever. Ragweed,
golden rod, daisies, wild roses, bur-
dock, pigweed, rye and timothy are
among the guilty brands of herbage.
But why should city people, living
perhaps on the top floor of flat
miles from the nearest field of golden
rod, succumb to the ruthless aerial
campaign of these plants?
Well, German scientists who have
studied the disease maintain that one
tiny pollen grain carries enough
poison to produce the affliction in

BOTH WERE STRONG.
But the Price Had Shade the Better
of the FIavoring.

81 don't kick at having to pay good
prices" an irate patron of high priced
restaurants was saying yesterday, but,
l ask you, isn't $1.50 for garlic rather
strong? AS for me, the recollection al
most makes me weep.
81 was giving q dinner for six last
night, and as a part of the dinner l
ordered two racks of lamb. The price
on the carte du jour was $S a rack.
That's pretty high, but these are high
times. 1 have a great opinion as to
the merits of a dash of garlic in cook
cry, so to the waiter who took my
order l suggested that the dish on
which the lamb was to be served
should be rubbed with garlic, as one
frequently does in making a salad
"When the bill came the item for
the racks of lamb was not SIC, but
S17.5O. The waiter could not explain
the increase. l called for the head
waiter. He went to the checker and
came back.
1.-The rack of lamb plain would have
been $16,' he explained The extra
$1.50 was for the garlic
Zone cent would have covered the
cost of the garlic, and another cent
would have covered labor and all over
head charges. l figure that the profit
to the house on that garlic was 1900
per nt."-New York Times.

Let Him Alone.

The following editorial, which is
pre-eminently opportune, appeared in
The Milwaukee Sentinel under the
heading ''Let Him Alone" The ad-
vice should be taken home. The Sen
tinel says:
'EThere are other things than the
war that are getting on the nerves
of the American people.
Not since the mighty tasks I'M
posed upon A Abraham Lincoln has there
been a time when a president has
been obliged to assume such grave
responsibilities as now. Almost from
the day he entered upon the discharge
of his duties as president, Mr.. Wilson
has had unusual and most perpleXing
problems to solve. Not the least Of
these was the work of bringing
p congress to do that which his party
platform said should be done. Then
came most perpleXing complication
in California, in connection with COM
plants made by Japan. Following
that arose the troubles in Mexico that
have required his close attention.
Every day since the great war began
he has had to give time and thought
to preventing complications which
might prove serious to his country.
The most recent problem has called
for the concentration of all his powers
to an extent that might well break
down even the strongest of men, and
he remains at his task cOurteOusly and
periodically, endeavoring to do his
duty to his country and its hundred
millions of people.
In spite of all these great problems
that he must do his best to solve in
the right way, we see great
numbers of his fellow citizens crowd
ing in upon him with questions that
should not be brought up at this time
for president to solve. Four or five
times large delegations Of representa-
tives of the suffrage movement have
visited him, and several times he gave
them time and courteous answers.
But they continue to come. Only a
few days ago a large committee
camped in the White house and
awaited his appearance, and to his
credit be it said he did not appear.
Now comes a report that a delega-
ton of 5000 people are to call upon
Mr.. Wilson in July to urge him to
take stand in favor of national pro-
hibition. 1t makes the average Am
african citizen blush to think that
there are people who, under the cir
cumstances, would thus claim the
time, attention and the thought of a
president so oppressed with other and
greater duties"

His Quaint Suggestion.

A Frenchman who appears to have
been of thrifty turn of mind con-
ceived the idea in 1878 that too much
valuable time was being wasted in
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market. He found way of
preparing them without cleaning them,
and OH this he took out letters patent.
Apparently he had some slight misgiv
ing as to whether the public would be
perfectly suited with his invention and
so in his claim he makes this paren-
thetical entry:
Fish put up by this process may be
slightly unpleasant to the customer at
first, but he soon gets used to it.
