Archeoogists in France have been
greatly encouraged by the success
which has attended the excavations In
Provence in search of more Roman
architectural remains. 1t is thought,
owing to the extent of the discoveries,
that 1t will be possible to bring TO
light the roads which existed between
the various Roman establishments of
tho south of France. Inscriptions and
sculptured fragments have been found
at Die In the Drome, aqued lets, an i'm.

II.
Since then. Dunbars experiments have
been carried further, and toxins have
been produced from various combina-
lions of pollens. In some cases these
toxins have cured the patient for the en-
tire season. Then again, no improve
ment occurred, possibly because the toxin
was composed of the wrong pollens for
that particular case.
Though the toxins have proved valu-
able remedy, they have not driven out hay
fever as It was prophesied. In fact. the
disease is said to be on the increase. IT
is not contagious but the nasal cond
ton favorable to it is sometimes inherit
ed. The advance OF hay fever is ascribed
partly to the fact that so many city
jewellers live in the suburbs where weeds
usually grow abundantly.
Hay fever statistics are vague but i'm
pressive. Members OF the hay fever as
ISOLATION estimate that there are now at
least 100000 hay fever sufferers in this
country, and that during the sneesing
season, averaging forty-two days, they
meeze on an average, seventy-six times
day each Equipped with these undis-
putabie estimates the statisticians pro-
coed to show that these organized sneez-
ers produce 3,192,oo 900 sneezes every year
Luckily for the United States, the sneez-
ers have not organized to the extent OF
agreeing to set off their seventy-six daily
sneezes at regular times. The reverbera-
ton Of a million simultaneous kerchoos
would surely bring our skyscrapers top
ping down about our ears and deafen the
country with their resounding echoes.

on the grounds of intolerabe severity,
while Dr. Averll claims that his wife
deserted him in January, 1915 DR.. Aver
i'll is represented by V. A. Billiard, while
w. r. Austin and ]. j. Enright appear

vorced him. After their separation. he
went West and met his present wife
in Denver. Col, and they were married
near that city in the early part of 1918.
The present Mrs. Averill had some
money at the time they were married
and she let him have money to come back
to Burlington and fit up an office here to

let him have about s4,5e5, including 5000
toward buying an automobile. She claims
that this money was loaned to him and
that he was to pay it back to her. Aver
Ill claims that it was given to him out
right and that there was nothing said
about paying it back.
Mrs. Averill testified that Dr. Avcrill
tTedteu HeT larry well as long as she mao
any money, but when he found that her
money was gone, he began to abuse her

casions he had choked her and otherwise
abused her, and that he had threatened
her life, so that she became afraid of him
and her nervous system was in such a
condition as result of this treatment

to properly run the house and cothe
herself, and that she used her own money
for clothing until it was all gone.

to his present financial condition. His
