famed for cantaloupes, stated that the growers
having difficulty in selling their crop fifty

Patients who suffer from any type
Of hay fever may obtain relief from
their symptoms by spending the per-

plants whose pollen affects them do
not grow.
For example, those who suffer
from the rag weed or fall type Of
hay fever obtain relief on the Paci.
fic coast, in northern New Hamp-
shire, on the European continent, or
in various mountain resorts which
are free from rag weed.
Since most patients cannot change
their residence each year for APP
proXimate!y two months out of the
twelve, they must seek relief by
other means.
During the hay fever season con-
siderable relief may be obtained if
simple precautions are followed.
Strenuous exercise such as tennis
and baseball should be avoided as
unusual exertion induces vigorous
breathing and correspondence in
creases the dose Of pollen inhaled.
The sleeping room should be kept
closed during the day to exclude as
much of the pollen-laden air as pos
slblc. Upon retiring the windows
should be opened, since the damp
ness of the evening air and the les
sened breeze will allow but rela-
lively small amount of pollen to
gain access to the sleeping room.
Hay fever patients who suffer
from distressing eye symptoms may
find relief by wearing amber glasses.
During the mast nine or ton wears

dividuals by injections with extracts
of the pollens to which they are
sensitive.
This treatment brings about a
assassination Of the patient. or in
other words, it accustoms him to a
, considerable dose Of pollen. At the
present time it may he said that a
large majority Of patients so treated
are benefited and that o consider

1t happens also, fortunately, that
the asthma which frequently an

and which is most dreaded by the
patient. is most regularly benefited
by these injections.
1t is important that those who
suffer from hay fever understand
that they should present themselves
to their physicians for medical
prophylactic treatment about three
months before their symptoms usu-
ally begin. This early precaution is
necessary as the series of injections
extends over period of about two
months and should be completed if
possible not less than two weeks be-
fore the time when symptoms usu-

physician and does not cause the pa

New York, Aug. 21.-The one spot
| in New York except the morgue
where all meet on a basis of absolute
equality is the marriage license bu-
rcau in the Municipal building.
And 1t is one of the busiest spots
| in town. Licenses at this time Of
the year average about 1875 day.
In June they average aobut 100 a
| day.
The society dcbutante and the rich
| young man must go through the
same rigamarole faced by the illit-
! crate immigrant.
AS they come through the door
they are handed blanks which both
parties must fill out and swear to
before the license is issued Then
they must fall in line in order of
their arrival.
he line is continuous from the
time the bureau opens in the morn
ing until it closes at night. In that
line silks and satins rub elbows with
aprons and shawls. More than half
who take out licenses at the bureau
have the ceremony performed on the
spot. The duty of tying the knot
falls to John J. Mccormack, deputy
cltv clerk. His desk is the altar, his
Office the Cnapel.
For the ilitcrate the ceremony
takes on all the flourish and solem-
rity of a church wedding. Often for
the illiteratc or aliens who do not
understand English the ceremony
consists simply of asking each if
he is willing to take the other as
lawfully welded mate, and pro-
nounccment of them as man and
wife.
In the first seven months Of this
year Mccormack has married $500
couples in his officc-chapel. They
have reached there through "ro-
cess and routine which turns out
married couples not unlike the very
efficient system of assembling turns
out flivvers at Detroit.

two new dramatic training schools

schools will be $500 and $1,000, yet
both offices are flooded with appli-
cations for admission. There are al
ready two organized dramatic schools
here with more applications ,than
they can handle. Considering that
many who cannot afford high tuition
have the same ambitions for stage
careers the lure of the stage is quite
apparent.

High Rates That Kill Profits
Duluth Herald

Postmaster General New reports that the post
office department. showed deficit Of $37 li9,OOO in
the fiscal year that ended with June.
Nobody need be in any doubt about what causct.
that deficit.
Raising the pay OF postal workers didn't cause It.
But raising postal rates high that they k.!.e;,
business DID it.
The government is having precisely the same
experience that any business enterprise has when
it makes the mistake Of charging more than the
traffic will bear.
When rates so high that people won't pay
them, possible profit is turned into positive loss.
That's the kind of rates congress established an l
that kind Of rates had the effect it always has
The remedy is not to cut wages but to cut postal
rates to point Where they will revive the business
that has been destroyed.

Colonel 'Possum as he opened his
front door to get the morning paper,
and found letter there with his
name on it.
He opened the note and read:

is round and white and shiny, will
you please telephone to Nancy and
Nick, the Twins, care of Will o. the

"Round and white and shiny"
thought Colonel Postum. polly"
he called to his wife. do you hap
pen to think Of anything that is
round and white, and shiny"
And he told her all about finding
the note and what it said.
Mrs. Postum was baking sweet
potato flannel cakes for breakfast,
but she stopped her cake turning
long enough to listen. Then she
said, 1T might be anything from a
dish to straw-hat, but I'll name
over everything / can think Of. 1t

NO." agreed Colonel 'Possum.
"And it can't be melons, because
they are green and brown" said Mrs.
'Possum.
NO." said Colonel 'Possum again.
"And it can't be cotton because,
although it is white, it is neither
round nor shiny" said Mrs. 'Possum.
NO. said Colonel Postum.
But suddenly something popped
into Colonel, 'Possum's own head. II
know of something that is round
and white and shiny" he exclaimed.
"A magnolia blossom!"
That's right admitted Mrs. Pos
sum, giving one of the sweet potato
flannel cakes q flip up in the air 50
that it wouldn't burn. II think you
have guessed just right. Colonel. 1t
surely must be a magnolia blossom.
And it says Reward don't know
what reward q person would want
for giving anybody nice pretty,
fragrant magnolia blossom. Do you?"
mo, DON'T, said Colonel 'Possum.
"But I'm going to look for nice
