Berlin Paper Comments
on Wilson, Bryan and 7. R.
By Associated Press

Berlin, Sept. 1, via London 1920
a. m.-The National Zeitung pub
fishes to-day a leading article under
the heading. Wilson, Bryan and
Roosevelt" which is noteworthy for
its friendly tone and for the ungrudg-
ing admiration expressed for Presi-
dent Wilson.
The article begins by saying that
discussions of the Arabic affair have
been in quieter tone since Count Won
Bcrnstorff, the German ambassador at
Washington, presented his request to
the American Government to delay
action until Germany had had the OPP
portunity of presenting its side of the
case. Even the antiGerman newspa-
pers' admitted the justice of this re-
que st, the article says.
President Wilson is pictured in .ha
article as standing between two rivals,
where activities threatened to bring
about such a situation that the PrcsI-
dent might make his attitude toward
Germany dependent on domestic po-
litical considerations.
Mr.. Wilson is characterized as a
more clever politician than "the un-
lucky Bryan and the astuta politician,
Roosevelt"

1t is not surprising that the person

The manifestations of digestive dis

enough they are not recognized as
such, in fact in many cases the symp-

in the digestive organs. 1t may result
in headache, defective sight, heart

continually recur or vary from time

In the earlier stages indigestion may

WOMEN CAN'T WORK
OVER SIX DAYS NOW
Attorney General Gives an Opin-
ion on the Subject to the
Department of Labor

In an opinion given to the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry Attorney
General Brown holds that women may
not be employed as railroad tele-
graphers or telephone operators more
than six days a week, even though the
work be very light. The opinion is
the first to be given on this feature of
the women's employment act of 1918
and is very positive in it's language.
The attorney general says:
You forward the letter of two tele-
graph and two telephone operators of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and request an opinion based upon their
letter as to whether the act of July
Of women, is mandatory. in so far as
II prohibits working more than six
days in one week.
The act provides, in unmistakable
terms in Section 3. No female shall be
employed or permitted to work in, or
in connection with, any establishment
for more than six days in any one
This department has heretofore in
terpreted this law as literally as pos
siele; SO as not to w4rk fFi hardship tS ana

that this, provision of the law will ulti-
mately close this line of work to Iwo-
some method for so constituting it as
not to work such result.
I'VE are unable so to do. The
language is plain. There is no room
for any other construction. The prohi-
bition that no female shall be employ
ed for more than six days in
any one week. is mandatory, We are
not permitted to deviate from the plain
letter of the statute. The appeal for
relief, If the hardship exists as indi-
Gated in the letter which you submit
must be made to the Legislature, but
as long as the law stands as now writ
ten, l advise you that 1t is unlawful to
permit women to work in any estab-

CAUSE OF HAY FEVER
Pollen of Rayweed Is Blamed by
Physicians.
Irritating Principle Of Plant Has Long
Been known-Stlen1a That Rest
ed on sthe coldenrod Has
- Been Removed.

The chief cause of fall hay fever
is the pollen of the two varieties OF
ragweed. The generic name OF the
two ragweeds is ambrosia. The com
mon or wormweed variety 10 called
"artemisiifoIia" ON account OF Its
leaves resembling those Of the worm
wood (aFtemisia.) It is an annual,
with leaves much cut and thin, oppo-
site and alternate, as shown In the IL
lustration. 1t has spikes of green flow
ers at the end OF the branches. 1t re-
sembles the common NORWOOD,
which, however. bears small insight
ficant white flowers.
The great ragweed is called "tri-
iidia" on account of Its large three
lobed leaves. It is the tallest mem
Der of the group. and frequently grows
to height OF u feet. It is common
In moist soil in the lowlands near the
gulf coast.
Tho irritating principle of both rag.
weeds Is formed in the spikelike flow
er, being yellowish in color and almost
as light as smoke. II is so abundant
that during the stage of pollination It
will stain ones clothes yellow while
passing through such field. 1t is SO
extremely light that 1t is almost Inn
possible to collect any amount of 1t
without its being blown away.
Laboratory investigators have iso-
lated large number of plants whose
pollen will produce the characteristic
reaction OF hay fever. The golden
rod, for instance, has been accused OF
being responsible for so per cent OF
all cases OF hay fever. The commit
tee ON original research of the Amori-
can Hay Fever Prevention associa-
ton has demonstrated the fact, how
ever. that the goidenrod belongs to a
group OF only Is per cent of eases that
do not owe their origin to the rag
weed.
An obvious reason for the goldenrod
not being responsible for large num-
Der OF cases Ia that its pollen Is not
wind-blown. but heavy and tenacious,
SO that the majority of patients are af-
fected only In the event that the nos
trils are placed in close proximity
TO the flower.
Tho pollen OF the ragweed. however,
Is easily detached In clouds and Ii dis
tributed BY the wind over large ter
ritory.
The usual attacks OF fall hay fever
sufferers are coincident with the pol
lination OF the ragweed. while the
goldenrod frequently blooms for
weeks after the attacks have subsidized.
The most active stage Of the rag
weed Is In the month OF September
and every effort should be made at
that time TO destroy these noxious
weeds.
The object OF the American Hay
Fever Prevention association is the
dissemination OF general knowledge OF
benefit to sufferers from hay fever. the
education OF the public regarding the
weeds that are known to produce this
