tract the sneezing habit. 1t is true that
city folks do suffer more than country
people. This is alleged to be due to
the fact that the rural resident is ex-
posed to the pollen from childhood,
while the inhabitant of city is not
so hardened. Women are more prone
to hay fever than men, and young and
middle-aged persons are most often at
tackled.
Hay fever victims will soon be able
to celebrate the centenary of their dis
ease, as it was first described by Bos-
took, who called it catarrhus aestiv-
ous,'' in 1919. Since then hundreds of
books and pamphlets about hay fever
have issued from the press, and the
perusal of this literature is one of the
favorite recreations Of the victims dur
ing the hay fever season.

DEUTSCHLAND ARRIVES AT HOME

The German submarine Deutschland
arrived safely Thursday at Bremen from
the United States.
The Deutschland, laden with val
liable cargo, arrived at Baltimore from
Germany July 9, and the successful
completion of the first transatlantic
voyage by submarine in service as a
merchantmen attracted worldwide at
tention. She sailed from Baltimore
on her return journey August with a
cargo principally of nickel and rub
Der, and passed out to sea on the fol-
lowing day, dropping out of sight of
allied warships waiting outside the
three-mile limit.
The captain of Norwegian steamer
which arrived in Hampto Roads for
coal, stated Friday he passed the
Deutschland August 10, then eight days
out of the Virginia capes. The Deutsch
land was under full sail.
The captain said he took her for g
sailing ship in distress. He received
a reply which said it was the Deutsch
land.
The Deutschland had collapsibl,
masts fore and aft when she lay at he
wharf in Baltimore.

HAY FEVER MIGRATION

While st. Sneezer, the patron of hay |
fever victims, has no special day on
the calendar, and his devotees cele-
brate on various days the arrival OF the
annual paroxysm, perhaps the major

in the latter part of August. A few
aristocrats among the curious sect of
sneezers develop their cases in June.

though medical men assert that the
rose is seldom to blame. These early
birds have no standing among the au-
tumnal sneezers, however, and their
boasts of superiority are greeted with
shifts and sneers.
MANY curious statistics have been col
lected by the hay fever victims, who
have an association of their own, which
holds annual convention in the sections
which are immune from disease. 1t is
estimated that there are about 100000
hay fever victims III the United States:
The average length of the attack is
given as forty-two days. 1t is further
estimated that each person sneezes
seventv-three times during this period.
This would give total of 6l3, 900
sneezes sneezed by the sneezers of the
United States alone.
Canada has comparatively few sneeZ-
ers, as the climate of the Dominion
is unfavorable to the development OF a
hay fever aristocracy. Many sections
of Canada, like New Hampshire and
northern New York, claim complete i'm
munity from the disease, and each Aug
ust witnesses the migration of many OF
/ Uncle Sam s sneeZers to the haven OF
refuge offered beneath the Union Jack
Hay fever is very prevalent in Great
Britain, but the continent Of Europe il
comparatively free from its ravages.
The humble, plebeian plant known
as ragweed is now said to be the prin
cipal source of hay fever. Among tn
victims, however, the weed is know
: by it's imposing scientific name of am
brosia, which has much more "class ,
than ragweed. More than hundre'
different plants have been suspected o

Watch Tower. They came in consid.

A Great Reformation Effected.
The Prophet Samuel put the matter
before the people distinctly, saying, "lf
We do return to the Lord with oil your
hearts, then put away the strange gods
and Ashtaroth from among you, and
prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and
serve Him only; and He will deliver
you out Of the hand of the Philistines."
He was warranted in telling them this;
for Gods Covenant with them was
that If they would obey His Laws, and
be loyal to Him, He would guide their
interests to their highest welfare, but
that If they were disobedient and dis |
loyal, He would deliver them into the
hands Of their enemies and punish
them Seven Times. 't''a y
-Baalim is the plural Of Baal-caretak-
ef. The Israelites had been foreWarn'
ed to Keep themselves from idols to
such an extent that they might not
even make an image Of Jehovah. But
all around were the Canaanites, whom
they had not driven out Of the land
These Canaanltes had Baal idols In
all their towns and even IN their
homes, as protective genii.
Ashtaroth is the plural Of Ashteroth,
a female deity, known also as lshtar
and Astarte. Connected with her
, worship were many licentious services
supposed to promote fertility-propaga
ton of the human species. II Samuers
work influenced all Israel to put away
their gods and to worship and serve
Jehovah only, he accomplished much.
Such reformations do not come by
change, nor are they miraculous.
Samuel prayed for the people of Is
rael, who poured out water before the
Lord, tasted and confessed that they
had sinned against the Lord. This con-
fession was appropriate when asking
the God whom they had offended to
receive them back into covenant rela-
tionship with Himself. The humility
necessary to such confession would be
profitable in their character building.
Israel Blessed by Samuel's Judgeship.
Samuel judged the children OF Israel
in Mizpah"; he gave advice in respect
to their affairs-disputes, proper course
of conduct, etc. Thus the nation was
making new start.
Meanwhile the Phiistines, having
heard of the gathering, came against
them with an army The lsraeites had
come together for prayer; nevertheless
they were probably more or less arm
ed. But they felt quite unprepared to
meet the Philistines, and asked sam
uel to cry to God. that He save them
from the Phiistines. They We're learn

vowed to be loyal to jehovah put then
into very different attitude towar
