Season Is Here, and Tips to
Prevent Suffering Follow.
ARE OVERCOMING DISEASE.

American Hay Fever Prevention As
ISOLATION Issues Annual Warning.
Some Towns Have Greatly Reduced
the Number of Victims by Requiring
Grass TO Be Cut.
The days of horror for hay fever
patients approach. Daily the furnace
like sun is bringing weeds and pollen
bearing matter to fruition, closer each
day to the time when the dreaded mi
asma shall drive human beings OF
tender throat and n~oStrils TO the for
ests, the mountains and the seashore,
anywhere away from the scourge. But
some people can't go, and now yearly
at this time the American Hay Fever
Prevention association publishes its
bulletin GA the subject. The report
follows in part:
AN 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 August are
caused chiefly by the pollen of neglect
ed grasses and of spring and summer
blooming weeds.
The principal cauSes of hay fever
cases developing in the fall are the
various form of rag weeds, whose ca
pacity for distributing pollen is meas
ured BY the hundred millions. The
most common forms of this weed are
the comnion rag weed (Ambrosia arte-
misiaefolial found in the greater part
of the Unito1 states east of Kansas,
the giant rag weed (Ambrosia trifda)
growing in moist areas of this section,
and the western rag weed CAmbrosia
i psliostachyaD principally found west of
Kansas.
While the rag weeds are the chief
causes of fall hay fever, there are 9th
er weeds, such as the marsh elder
diva axillarisl, etc. which flower at
this season. so that all weeds should
be treated alike to insure safety
against hay fever.
Avoid the Weeds and Grass.
In order TO avoid hay fever persons
susceptible To 1t should see that the
ne|ighborhood of their residence is free
of tall grasses and weeds, and especi-
ally of the rag weeds. The three
squares in each direction should be in
spected and IL weeds are found the
owners should be urged to have them
cut at once. Where this is refused
these cases, in the interest of general
sanitation, should be reported % the
health authorities for violating the
grass weed ordinance.
In cases i'm which the above cannot
be carried out it is sometimes prefer
able TO have the weeds in the immedi-
ate neighborhCod cut at ones own ex-
pense than suffer the torture of a pro-
longed attack of hay fever from this
neglect 1t must he remembered. how

borne by the wind. and Il single lot full

FOLLOW THE REAL LEADER"

President Wilson, upon his western
"trip just completed, struck a popular
chord that has resounded from one
end Of the country to the other. Be
hind him, wherever he went, there re-
manned unquestioned evidence that the
people are with him in the program he
ha, mapped out, He has hit keynote,
and Americans, regardless Of theiran-
tcccdcnts, are everywhere cordial and
enthusiastic in their approval Of his
plans for the national defense.
In his speeches the president was
both logical and convincing, and his
handling of the subject has demon
silatod qualities Of leadership even
beyond those heretofore attributed to
him.
President Wilson's trip and the sem
timent it developed has made it more
than ever the plain and imperative du-
ty If democratic congress to stand
with and support him in the program
ne has made and the platform he has
built for national progress and nation
al solidarity.
IN the president himself and the
policies he proposes and advocates is
the best hope Of democratic victory I'm
November. If the democratic congress
stands shoulder to shoulder with him
now, it will pave the way for that vic
tory. If it does not, if it permits di-
Vision and disSensiOn to enter demo-
cratic ranks, then defeat is certain and
the responsibility for it must rest up
ION those lie aders responsible for it,
1t would make little difference if de-
ieat brought personal punishment on

would mean the downfall of the ma

owe an imperative party duty, and

by placing themselves in complete ac-
cord with the president and his poll

Omaha daily bee., 1916-07-12
Hot Weather in the City Council.

II is too bad that business affairs Of the city
must be made to suffer because Of the climatic
conditions now prevailing. Omaha Is not respon-
sible for the vagarious conduct Of the weather
man and its bad enough to have to put up with
the meteorological freaks that have been visited
on US lately. Our trials are not to end with this
however for the democratic brethren OF the city
commission have seized this as the proper mo-
ment to stir up things among themselves. With
out regard to the merits Of the controversy in
any Of its angles, dips or spurs. The Bee sus-
sests that perhaps Mr.. Butler was right when he
made the statement that the city ought to take
advice OF its corporation counsel, or get one who
can be trusted. And we feel positive that Mr..
Butler was right in asking that the appropriation
Of $4,000 for additional motor equipment for
fire department uses be held over for little
while. Omaha is not suffering because Of short
age in FIRE fighting apparatus, although it yet has
in service few horse-drawn hose carts and hook
and ladder trucks As to the welcome" arch,
two opinions no longer exist, the mayor to the
contrary notwithstanding. II was a mistake in
the beginning and has degenerated into joke,
Disagreement, and threatens to become nui-
sance, II the weather were little less like the
sort Kansas City revels in, The Bee would urge
Messrs. Dahlman and Butler to keep 1t up, not
only for the good Of their souls, but to the end
that the people might get interested and some
real reforms be accomplished.
