ORIGIN OF HAY FEVER
UNKNOWN TO DOCTORS
Would Take Years of Research to
Find Real Cause, Says Superinten-
dent of Hebrew Hospital.

I That the origin of hay fever, from
which so many suffer about this tim
of the year, is unknown, and tha
I it would take years of research t,
/ find the real cause, was the state
/ ment yesterday of Superintendent
/ Moose of the Hebrew Hospital, Bal
i timore, when asked what caused tn,
disease.
The disease is caused by small or
ganisms,' he said. "They are 81
small, in fact, that it has so far beer
impossible to study them rightly, bu
| suppose the day will come, as il
all other diseases of infectious ma
ture, that the cause and remedy viii
be discovered and then will follow &
cure and preventative
President w. Scheppegrell, of the
American Hay Fever Prevention AS
sociation, has issued a long circular
IN which he gives instructions which
If carefully followed, would result in
the avoidance of the attack. He says
All cases of hay fever are due to
the Inhalation of pollen, the majority '
of these being due to useless weeds.
The cases that develop before Au-
gust are caused chiefly by the pollen
of neglected grasses and the spring
and summer-blooming weeds.
The principal causes of hay fever
cases developing in the fall are the
various forms of ragweeds, whose ca
pacity for distributing pollen is mea-
sured by the hundred millions. The
most common forms of this weed are
the common ragweed (Ambrosia ar
temlsiaefoloia) found in the greater
part of the United States east of Kan
sas; the giant ragweed (Ambrosia
trifida), growing in moist areas of
this section, and the western rag
weed (Ambrosia psilostachya9, prin-
cipally found west of Kansas.
In order to avoid hay fever, per-
sons susceptible to it should see that
the neighborhood of their residence
is free of all grasses and weeds, and
especially the ragweeds. The three
squares in each direction Should be-.
inspected and, if weeds are found.
the owners should be urged to have
them cut at once. Where this is re-
fused, these cases, in the interest of
general sanitation, should be report
ed to the health authorities for yio-
lating the grass-weed ordinance.
Where no such law exists efforts
should be undertaken to have such a
law passed as soon as practicable.
Where the neighborhood cannot
be cleared of hay fever weeds, the
next consideration is Temporary
change of residence. The majority
of mountain and seaside resorts. un-
fortunately, are infected with hay fe
yer pollen, so that visits to these
places in the hope of getting relief
are usually disappointing.
LAS hay fever is due to pollen of
neglected weeds, temporary visit to
more central part of the home town
at a sufficient distance from such
weeds, will usually give entire relief.
Hay fever sufferers should avoid
toaos ipSsse5lns ipSssses5lns ii7esy@ ,ectio or =
grass and weeds while in bloom are
Usually full of pollen which is in
laled with the dust. An hour of
pleasant driving may therefore re-
suit in night of suffering"

SELECT TREES WITH CARE
Matter Worth Great Consideration by
tho One Who 10 Planning a
Real Home.

Now that the process of tree NOV
Ing Is so successful, it Is a simple
matter to annex and preserve as ones
own specimens of the numerous beau
tiful. trees which the countryside
dweller is apt to run across in his
woodland ramhles.
Do not make the mistake, however,
OF thinking that any kind of a tree
can be planted in any place; selec-
tons need to be made with intelli-
gence and due regard to drainage and
soil.
The over-changing beauty OF the
mountain maple makes it an unusu-
ally satisfactory tree for ornamental
planting. The branches in winter are
beautiful in coloring. as in spring are
the buds and blossoms. followed in
summer by the developing fruits.
The wild plum tree, too, has posi-
bilities which too many people fail to
recognize. The blossoms Of this tree
are the nearest we get to the cherry
blossom display Of the Japanese, and
although their beauty endures for only
q brief season, tho trees are especially
desirable when planted along rocker
les or along walls.

eiIbo Goes TO Work.

The Bilbo gubernatorial administers
ton, after the pomp, formality and OBJ
servance of the amenities of inaugu-
ration, got down to its first taste Of
official life.
When Gov. Bilbo entered the execu-
tive department on the morning of Jan.
10, 1t was to find Private Secretary
Buck keeping the crowd of first-hand
callers entertained, pending the ar
rival OF the governor, and the counte-
nance OF the young governor was BEAM
ing with good nature, while his greet
ing was just as hearty and outspoken
as when he was "just Bilbo," as one
OF his callers expressed It.
Before leaving the department for
the last time, Gov. Brewer, with the as
sistance of his office staff, had cleared
the tables and desks, and the new gov
sernor found everything in first rate
order, as had been the case when he
entered the executive mansion a few
days ago.
Gov. Bilbo realizes that the eyes Of
the state are upon him, and has pledg-
ed himself to make Mississippi the
best governor she ever had" and he
has already shown that he is ready
and anxious to sidestep factional lines
and be the governor Of al the people
