Kansas Health Board on a
"SWat-the-Sneeze" Campaign.
Eiimi1sssiels of Weeds Seems to
Be Only Wise Method.

Despite the cool summer Kansas
again is sneezing with hay fever and
as a result the state board of health
and the committee on public health
of the state medical society are Coop
Grating with the American Hay Fever
Prevention association toward the
eradication of the weeds which cause
the disease, it was announced here to-
day.
DR.. S. j. Crumbine. secretary of the
state board of health, pointed out that
although the disease was not so preva-
lent this year as usually. afflicted
kansanS must keep on SneeZing until
the frost and that wider knowledge
of the causes of the disease and steps
toward the elimination of the weeds
are the only ways to prevent its recur
rance.
statement. issued today under the
authorization of Dr. G. c. Nesselrode
of Kansas City. Kan, chairman of the
state medical society points out that
the chief cause of fall hay fever is
the pollen of the two varieties of rag
weed, which are especially prevalent
in neglected fields, yards and road
sides. and is sometimes found in
fields where Il crop of small grain
has been harvested early and after
ward neglected.
The statement points out that while
golden rod has been charged with be-
ing responsible for fifty per cent of
all cases of hay fever the American
Hay Fever Prevention association has
demonstrated the fact that the golden
rod belongs to Il group of only Is per
cent of the cases that do not owe their
origin to rag weed. 1t is asserted that
in the month of September every ef-
fort should be made to destroy the
weeds, since it is then that they are
most active.
1t is pointed out that with proper
cooperation the cause of hay fever
can be almost entirely eliminated just
as preventative measures have done
much toward the elimination of ma
larial fever, typhoid, tuberculosis and
OF her diseases.

that Kansas had produced her record

farmers were sending their chill
dren to college. Now Secretary Har-

explanation. The demand for a high
