We are the opinion that there
is an implied license, growing
out of the custom Of nearly 100
years, that the public lands of

SEES are adapted to the growth
and fattening of domestic ami
mails, shall be free to the people
who seek to use them where
they are left open and u~ninclosed

Han FeUer

HAY FEVER is caused by the pollen
IL of plants. There are at least one hun
dred and twenty-five different kinds of
pollen known to produce hay fever. Pos
sibly all pollens are poisonous. Even MORN
ing glores will cause hay fey." in some
people. Different people are affected by
different plants.
The best remedy for hay fever is a
change of residence to a location which is
free from the particular cause of the dis
ease. Hay fever Is due a combination
of two things-first, susceptible nasal
mucous membrane, and second, the pollen
of certain plants which, floating in the air,
is inhaled and sets up the irritation char
acteristc of this disease. Special vaccines
are now prepared and used with increasing
success.
Patients suffering from hay fever are
often wonderfully relieved by sitting In a
very cold room Temperature 80 degrees
Fahrenheit to degrees Fahrenhet) for an
hour or two. The relief often lasts for sew
eral hours, and so may insure a good
nights rest
The services of a nose and throat special
ist should always be secured in advance of
the expected attack.
Lightly smearing the lining of the nos
trls with vaseline protects the sensitive
mucous membrane and affords much relief.

much stress cannot be placed on the impor-
tance of clean, sound. fresh fruits or vege-
tables and clean cooking utensils. Prepare
the fruits and vegetables for blanching
Prepare green and beans as for cooking
taking especial care to remove all foreign
plants from the greens. Blanch the vege-
tables and all fruits except berries by
placing them for from three to five minutes
in rapidly boiling water. Remove the

the better take out Immediately and drain
at once
From this point on speed is highly i'm

warm must net be allowed to remain ex-
posed to the air one minute longer than is
necessary. Remove the skins when neces-
sary and as each article is pared cut it up
and pack directly into the clean scalded
Jars, packing as solidly as possible without
bruising or mashing. When fruit is being

boiling hot syrup. For vegetables, fill up
with boiling water, to which a teaspConful

made cooker or steam cooker and let them

After processing remove the Jars, tighten
the tops Immediately and stand upside

carefully for leakage and screw the covers

Meningitis

After injury, how long does 1t require menin-
gifts to develop? Does it come from an injury
to the body or head? ANXIOUS.
Acute meningitis is a germ disease and
comes from infection. Chronic meningitis,
or the tubercular form which may also be
subacute, results from the invasion of the
coverings of the brain and spinal cord by
tubercuar germs which usually have ex-
tended from some other part of the body.
If there is any suspicion of meningitis, a
physician should be consulted at once and
a prompt diagnosis made.
