HAY FEVER

do hay fever victims really
find complete relief in the Lake
Superior region?' is a question
frequently asked the Minnesota
Public Health Association. Dr.
III. E. Webster, for many years
health officer of Duluth, answers
the question in the affirmative,
and gives the reasons for doing
so. He says:
Duluth has special inflow
of summer guests from all parts
of the southern and central states.
They come about the middle of
August as invalids. You can
recognize them by their sneezing.
A few days later they are seen
picnicking, boating and have any
thing but the look of invalids.
But they stay on because if they
go back to the south they get
the fever.
What causes the desease and
why the relief? The principal
cause is the pollen of ragweed or
goldenrod, which irritates the
nasal mucous membranes. For
tunately, only a few have this
idiosyncracy. People who suffer
from bronchial asthma seem to
be especially susceptible. Relief
is secured principally because
the region is free, in part. from
the causes, the pollen Of ragweed
and goldenrod, and the atmos-
phere is not contaminated with
other dust which tend to prolong
the attack. Besides, cool days
and cooler nights promote sound
sleep, increase the appetite add
to comfort and cheer. The inn
provement in the general health,
no doubt, decreases susceptibility
| to the desease.

assessed damages against him of

THE COST OF WARS.

"The money cost of the European
war UP to this time has been greater
that that of any former war, and be-
fore it is over the figures will be
startling indeed" said an old citizen.
"Our civil war-1S6 to 1865-cost
in round figures, according to govern
ment com. ilation, $5,00O,OOO, 600 We
have been in the habit of referring to
that bloody strife as the most expen-
sive in history, but the war between
England and France from 1893 to
1915, cost $6,250,OO0,00O. A total of
100000 men were engaged in that
war. In the war between the north
and sOuth-the civil war-2,041 500
men were engaged on the Union side
and 100000 on the Confederate side.
'The cost of the Franco-German
war was about $4,000, ,000, 900, and the
cost of the Spanish-American war was

man, however, holds out hope of speedy
relief, predicting that the storm prob
ably will pass Wednesday, leaving
generally fair weather in its wake.
There have been many snow storms
railway traffic either has been almost
suspended or greatly retarded. One
Chicago and Northwestern train, filed
with passengers, was held in a huge
bank of snow near Maribel, Wis, from
10 O'Clock Sunday night until Tuesday
afternoon. Western Missouri, Kansas
and Southern Nebraska report that a
heavy snow storm had set in.
In the Middle West many wires have
been carried down and a fall in tenn
perature is causing additional trouble.
Wire communication from Chicago to
many points was difficult.
Northern and Western New York
and New England have been hit hard
and traffic of all kinds has suffered
severely. Massachusetts and Connec-
ticut points reported tying up of traffic
on electric lines.
The Monongahela and Allegheny riv-
ers have reached the flood stage as
the result of snow and rain. The low
lying sections of Pittsburg are mum
dated and trolley and railroad traffic
there were at standstill Tuesday
night. Hundreds of families have left
their homes in this section. At Mar

forced to quit work and at East Liver

RESUMED ON BOTH FRONTS
Anglo French Navy Reported as De.

Italy Notifies Reseryists to
Prenare For Call.

London, Feb. 2-The Germans nave
been making desperate efforts the last
few DAYS to break the extended dead
lock on the eastern and western fronts.
They have delivered a series OF at
tacks, aIW ays preceded by artillery
activity. on the Allied lines in Flan-
ders and France, and while in almost
every case they have thus won pre-
liminary advantage, before the hght-
ing was concluded the French, British
or BeIgians have regained trenches
temporarily lost, and in some cases
have occupied the German positions.
In these attacks, according to Brit
ish and French official reports, the
Germans have suffered severe losses.
The German artillery has subjected
the Belgian positions in Flanders to
severe bombardment-which suggests
that the moment has arrived for an
other effort to get across the User, and
thence to the French coast ports.

LIBRARY NOTES

We are doubtless living in the CEN
tury of the child The day of the
neglected child is rapidly passing
away. The fact that the child of to-
day is the man or woman of tomorrw
has been SO impressed on the minds
of people that the home, the church
and the state are doing all in their
power to develop the child. They hap
PLY realize that the little man and
the little woman are not the ideal
children but the real boy and girl
with the taste and tendencies of youth
To utilize these attributes of the child,
the imagination, the love of adventure
and other characteristics is important
in the development of the full grown
man or woman. This spirit is shown
pal ticu1arly in the children's books
Of today. Probably the finest books
placed on the market are the books
ffor the children. They contain almost
e 5erything to delight and instruct and
viii doubtless mean much to the man
hood of the next generation.
We placed on the shelves of the

tifuI books named in the following list.

THE PRICE OF COTTON
Charles Vein in the New York Jour

(Charles Vein in the New York Jour
nal of Commerce).
Cotton is entirely too low and can
not remain so. There is one aspect of
the situation which may have escaped
the consideration of some cotton mer-
chants. Wheat, oats, corn, meat, wool
and many other commodities have been
forced up by the urgent foreign de-
mand and by the decreased foreign
production incidental to the war. In
short, there has been another violent
advance in the "cost of living, and
that means another decrease in the
purchasing power of money (that is,
go1d).
It is true that the purchasing power
of gold has increased measured by
real estate, bonds, stocks, etc., but so
far as the average individual goes the
cost of living is up.
The price of cotton is measured
by this enhanced price of wheat, meat,
etc.-that is, by the standard of the
relatively depressed value of gold, and
therefore Scent cotton does not mean
the same as it would have year ago.
| l have not made a careful compari-
son, but measured by other standards
than gold l think it safe to say that
cotton is today cheaper than at any
time since ii became staple, cheaper
than when it was around cents many
years ago, and this disproportion is
sure to be adjusted in the near fu-
ture.
Eight-cent cotton measured by cent
of low purchasing power is cheap COM
pared with scent cotton measured by
the cent which at double the present
purchasing power. The cent by which
cotton is measured today has lost in
purchasing power, not only in the last
Is or 20 years, but especially so in
the last five months
