FIaqIer's Florida Railroad.

There is no railroad from Key West
to Cuba, and could not well be, as
nearly 200 miles of ocean intervene.
What Mr.. Flagler did was to build
railroad along the eastern coast OF
Florida to it's southern extremity, and
thence on piles and artificial viaducts
to Key West, and to provide for the
transportation of loaded trains both
ways between Key West and Cuba by
huge ocean ferry boats constructed and
equipped specially for the service.
There are no figures at hand as to the
cost Of the work done by Mr.. Flag

The settings in which they dance are
among the most exquisite ever

The story, like many Of those

About noon today our lookout

the morning. The subs idea, think,
was to lie on the surface and out
range us with shell fire, but we sur
prised him as we have one of the
largest guns carried by merchant
ships, six-inch, so caliber, which
is anything but a plaything.

Of us all the time, the closest falling

fell short Of Fritz, as we were firing
at $500 yards which is about 165
city blocks, and you can imagine
how small a target two feet high
would look $500 yards away.
The sub figured on us having
only a flve-inch gun, and staying
outside our range and sinking us by

ROSE FEVER.

Hay fever is most common in the
autumn months in this country. In
Europe it comes with the flowers
that bloom nthe spring. Rose cold
or rose fever is the name usually
given to the ailment occurring at
this season of the year in the United
States. The disease is the same as
the autumnal hay fever. ....:
Hay fever is a catarrh of the up
per air passages, due to the action
of the pollen of any one of twenty
five grasses and at least seven plants
on sensitive mucous membranes of
the nose and throat of some people.
According to the American Hay
Fever Prevention society, all hay

fever producing plants have four
characteristics. The plants are
numerous, wind pollinated. the flow
ers are without bright color or
pleasant scent, and the pollen is
found in great quantities. Among
the plants causing hay, fever are
yellow dock, cocklebur, careless weed
and many varieties of grass. AK
To prevent the disease from de-
veloping various vaccines are used.
Some of these are made from the
pollen of the more important plants.
Change of climate is also often adj
vised. One of the surest ways of
preventing the disease is through
the control of weeds and grasses.
Most cities have ordinances against
noxious weeds, but they are seldom
enforced. The development Of the
war garden. idea may result in the
elimination of. many weed covered
lots and so prove a boon, to the hay
fever sufferer. - r.
Persons susceptible to hay fever
should avoid renting or buying prop
erty in. neighborhood with neglect
ed grass or weeds. This practice
would probably be Of effective as
sistance in correcting such neglect.
They should avoid unnecessary, ex-
posure to pollen Roads passing
near sections full Of grass and weeds
while in bloom are usually full Of
pollen which is inhaled with the
hdust. An hour Of pleasant driving
may, therefore result in night OF
suffering.
| In some cases of hay fever, nose
specialists find nasal polypi, infect
ed -sinuses, or other nasal trouble
| Operation on these conditions re-
suits in a cure in such cases. i
Meaning the Baby.
Mother: A baby should be weaned
long before 1t reaches the age Of
twenty months. THRUST that you do
not mean that you are giving the
baby the breast, as many mothers
do. as often as it wishes and allow
ing at the same time to have any
thing it wants. A baby should be
weaned gradually by substituting
an increasing number Of feelings
from a bottle, or preferably from "a
cup, in place Of the corresponding
number Of breast feelings.
Scia&ica.
F. L.: sciatica is either neuri
tbs, of neuralgia Of the sciatica
ming down the back of the thigh. 1t
is more often a neutritis than neu-
ralgia. 1t is not impossible for the
symptoms you suggest, aching and
soreness of the legs and knees to be
present, but if so pain in the back
of the thigh and tenderness on pres
sure over the course Of the nerve
would be more pronounced 1t is
impossible to make a diagnosis Of
sciatica without such tenderness. 1t
may be advisable to restrict the use
of acid foods, but presumably
whether they are used or not would
have little effect on the disease. One
of the best measures OF relief con-
sists in the application of flannel
wrung out Of water as hot as can be
borne. Any cause for the condition
that can be found should be re-
moved. Consult physician for this
and for the details OF treatment.
