DANGER IN WILD FLOWERS
Many Are Prolific Cause Of Hay
Fever, According to Expert Who
Sounds Warning.

Hay fever is relatively common in
children. but the reason that this is
not more generally known is that these
attacks are usually mistaken for
colds" writes DR.. William Scheppe-
grell Of New Orleans, president Of the
Hay Fever Prevention association. in
the Medical Record.
Sometimes child that seems to
have cold" is taken into park or
away to the country in the hone that
the fresh air will effect n cure, and it
IS there exposed to further infection
from the pollen Of the plants that are
chiefly responsible.
Besides the ragweeds. which are the
principal offenders. there are several
other wild flowers that. though quite
innocent when left alone. are likely
to cause hay fever If applied directly
TO the noStrilS Of children. Among
these Doctor ScheppegrelT warns us es-
peciaily against the daisy fleobane. one
or the commonest of weeds. 1t grows
from one to two feet in height. has
light green almost tOothless leaves,
daisy-like flowers about half an inch
wide. with large greenish yellow
DISK, white rays occasionally lilac
tlnged. shorter than those Of the daisy
and sometimes entirely absent.
Other flowers against which Doctor
scheppegrell warns are the dandelion,
held daisy, blackeyed Susan. and other
or the Compositae family. These are
harmless unless one shifts their bios
SONS. In which case they are likely to
start n hay fever that may persist well
into the fall.

MES0P0TAMIA TO COME BACK
Prophecy That Ancient Land Is to 30
Redeemed From Present State
Of Barrenness

1t may be remembered that. when
Gen. Sir Stanley Maude had to lay
down his work with his life In Meso-
potamia. that work was taken up and
carried on successfully by Gen. Sir w.
X. Marshall. The expedition which
he sent up the Euphrates freed that
river from the Turks. and just before
the armistice the force which he led up
the Tigris from Bagdad captured the
entire Turkish army of 1000 about SO
miles south OF M0Sul. the city which
stands on the west bank opposite the
ruins Of Nineveh. Since then the coun-
north and west from Basra there has
been notable revival Of commerce
and agriculture. with a beginning Of
the great irriga ton scheme devised by
Sir William Willcocks. 1t was through
irrigation that in ancient times the
land developed its extraordinary fertil-
ity. and traces remain of the network
Of canals that formed the center Of
Babylonia.
Is there to be a renewal Of that fer
tflity in place Of the desert barrenneSs

who has returned to England. Is Of
that opinion. Speaking recently at
Durham he made one very remarkable
statement. AS a result Of experiments.
he said. 1t was believed that Mesopo-
tamia would become the finest cotton
growing country in the world. That is
a large expectation, too large to dis
turb cotton growers In other countries.
Details Of the experiments. showing
surprising results. will have to be
made known before the "sea island"
territory Of Georgia, South Carolina
and Florida can believe that Its SUI
premacy is threatened by Mesopota-
mia. or that the beautiful long-stapled
silky wool Of its peculiar variety can
be excelled anywhere.

SUGAR BROTHERS

In view of the fact that the short age of sugar is becoming more acute and that with restrictions on the price to the consumer being annulled after January first, many people are saying that merchants are holding their stock for a higher price. Per baps some of them are, but we doubt If such is the case locally.
 An additional warning was given to retailers of sugar regarding such hoarding by the United States dis trict attorney. Assistant Attorney General Cohen in a statement, said in part:
 3Any dealer who is withholding sugar in the expectation of getting a higher price for it after the first of January, makes himself liable to summary prosecution of profiteering as his profits will be figured on the basis of the price which he paid fol the sugar and he will be required tc show his invoices and prove to the satisfaction of this office that the sugar was in fact purchased from his wholesaler at the new higher price,"

THE WEATHER

After all, or nearly all, the "oldest citizens" have taken a crack at pre- dieting the weather for the coming winter, now comes a naturalist of renown who states that we will have a severe winter, and we are more or less inclined to agree with him, judg- ing by the last few days.
 John Burroughs, the naturalist, bases this prediction on the fact that hundreds of arctic birds are as far south as Maine and Michigan. He claims to have seen many of these birds and says they are tame and unacquainted with man.
 Regardless of what the visit of these birds signifies, this is a new ex- perienee for both the birds and those who have seen them, which ia itself is. something worth while.
