will have the effect on their individual
victims.
1t is for this reason that some per-
sons will escape the hay fever by leav-
ing a certain section of the country,
and that others will go that section
to find relief. Those who go there,
are not susceptible to the pollen OF
the flora there, and the residents are.
Hay fever Is known to the doctors
as catarrhus aestivus, or summer ca
tarrh. and prevails in the warmer
months chiefly. It is more prevalent
in the cities than in the country. &C
cording to the records.
This seems illogical at first glance,
when 1t is considered that the pollen
OF the various plants is responsible for
the disease. But DR.. Brown points out
that there are more people in the
cities to catch the disease, and that
the pollen will be borne by the
matter OF the population being con-
centrated in the cities and has Moth
ing to do with the mode of life" DR..
Brown says.

States and England. There is no rea-
son known for this fact.
Hay fever occurs twice as frequent
ly in males as. In women, and is most
troublesome between the ages of fif-
teen years and thirty years.
The predisposing causes of the dis
ease are, nervous instability and in
stability of the mucous membranes.
Some of the exciting causes are pollen,
dust, sudden changes of temperature,
and in some cases, mental excitement
The symptoms are: general and. To-
cal depression, fever, injection of the
eyes. pain in the eyes caused by strong
light. the nose, throat, larnyx and
bronchial tubes dry and burning, the
blood vessels of the nose congested,
the nose swollen and injected, and a
cough, followed in many cases by
asthmatic seizures.
That the subject is not always hum
orous, is proved by the fact that there
are Observation-Disclosures cases of death
resulting from hay fever. But these
are very rare, and complications fire.
Quently enter into them.
First Frost Is Cure.
And recovery from hay fever is in

but seldom actually brought about. The
best cure for hay fever is the first
frost of the season, which almost in
causes it to disappear.
There are some people who believe

says This may be true, but think
that it's mostly due to psychology. If
you think and believe, for months,
that at a certain time you will begin
to cough and sneeze and weep with
hay fever, why it's entirely possible
that you will. But this is about the
season of the year when the exciting
causes begin to get in their work"

In the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love
and along about this time in the sum-
mer a good many of the young, old
and middle-aged men of this country
can't turn their thoughts to anything
but hay fever.
There are tremendous humorous
possibilities in hay fever, but not for
the persons who are victims of 1t. 1t
is safe to say that there are few
humorists and alleged humorists-in-
GLIDING cartoonists. who are subject
to hay fever or it wouldn't be so
popular a subject with them
Just about this time of the year Is
the opening of the hay fever season.
And the opening Of the hay fever
season is looked upon with rather less
anticipation than is the opening of
the hunting season. The persons who
suffer from hay fever don't have any
pleasant thoughts at all about it, and
the persons who don't have it never
think about It.
This is the time of the year when
the Kansas people who have hay fever
and plenty OF money, leave the prairies
for the mountains to escape the
plague, and the mountaineers who
have it head for the prairies.
Illumination Is Possible.
There is something peculiar about
the reactions of persons to hay fever.

There has of recent years, been de-
yeloped a method of Immunizing hay
fever victims, but it doesn't mean;
general immunization.
The cause of hay fever is not very
well known, but it can be traced" at
one stage, to the pollen of different
plants There are very many plants,
of which the pollen has the power to
induce hay fever in those who come
in contact with 1t.
And different plants produce hay
fever in different people, according TO

the pollen of a plant which doesn't

So before a patient is treated with
the NEGOTIATIONS which produce inn
munity. they are tested with the pol

clothing, orphanage workers point
out Food and clothing are cut down

WORLD POLICE HEADS
TO DISCUSS SYSTEM
FOR UNITED ACTIVITY
(Rv Assoclated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 11.-Police chiefs
from all over the United States, most
of the great centers of Europe, and
from many countries in South America
meet here today with the hope of form
ing some sort of a union looking L
ward an international police system.
The idea came from Police Commits
sioner Enright, of New York, and his
deputy, DR.. John A. Harriss. This
spring they travelled through Europe,
met the police leaders there, discussed
conditions. studied universal prob
lens and came to the conclusion that
conference, on a large scale, would go
far toward solving the difficulties
which have leaped into police work
since the war.
Commissioner Enright brought back
promises that heads of departments in
London, Liverpool, Paris, Brussels, VI
emma, Rome and perhaps Berlin would
attend
II is the belief of New York's de-
partment, according to Deputy Com
missioner Mckay in charge of arrange

directly from the war has confronted

tion will be discussion of this class,

Commissioner Enright, that it might
be possible for tho chiefs, working to-

Because of enabling legislation that
would be required by different govern

conference. But the plan is to talk
over all the situations involved, and

Executives of the western railroads
