STRAY sTRAws IN AIR

Some stray political straws are
blowing these days in the county

Abe Olson will be candidate for
County Clerk and may not have
any opposition. 1t is pretty well
believed the record he has made
as chief deputy clerk not only en-
titles him to the office but that
he would be mighty hard man
to beat. Former Mayor Bertch of
Auburn is thinking Of running for
Sheriff. He'll have to buck a
hard man when he meets Archie
Hutcheson, even his friends say.
County Auditor Ferguson is also
making eyes at the Sheriff's of
flee and has a good record back
of him as Auditor. Some think
the Tenant boom has already
burst as he finds the police associa-
ton in Seattle is liability rather
than an asset. There are all kinds
Of candidates for Auditor from
Dick Faris and Mr.. Wisner down
to a dozen outside candidates.
Friends of Bert Ross are urging
him to run for Prosecuting attor-
ney but as yet havn't secured his
consent. 1t is whispered that Col
vim will not be a candidate but
will put forward R. S. MacFar-
lane as principal, and Mr.. Colvin
would then become chief deputy

The Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor

on the subject. More women are engaged in domestic

The curious fact that 20 per cent of the women

continue their education longer than women before
going to work; and second, women workers. when they
do marry often give up their positions in the business

There are several things which
you fail to take into account in
assuming that these great masses OF
meteoric iron falling upon the earth
should have been found far beneath
the surface Of the ground. If we
suppose that they did penetrate to
a considerable depth upon striking,
we must not forget that we are
ignorant Of the time when they fell,

agencies. Thus, the buried masses
Of solid iron would gradually be dis
inferred By natural agencies.

RELIEVING HAY FEVER
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner Of HEALTH New York City.

There are salves, too, which help in
some cases.
When speak of these applica-
tions l wish to warn against mar
cotics and other habit forming drugs.
1t is better to endure a hundred at
tacks of hay fever than to take a
chance on acquiring a vicious drug
habit.
Bear in mind that some attacks
of hay fever, asthma and certain
skin ailments may be due to food
poisoning. Watch your diet and
make sure whether or not some ia
vorite food is a factor in exciting
the attacks.
Contact with horses, cats and
other animals may make you much
worse. Heed your acts to see II the
repetition of anything you do brings,
with it each time a new spell OF
sneezing.
Pillow Filings may contain sub
stances which are poisonous to you.
The dust of sweeping or cleaning,
. the odors of certain perfumes, the
smell of certain foods-in one there
may be found an irritant to which
you are peculiarly sensitive.
These hints may help to make
your attack more endurable. shall

an idea that it is not unlike vac

were made in the inside of the nose.
The victim has all the symptoms Of
vaccination in IN unusual place. In
addition, the nose runs quarts Of
hot water, the eyes burn and water,
and the violent sneezing makes the
head ache terribly.
Dust, vapors, odOrs, the pollen Of
plants-anything capable of irritat-
ing the terrifically sensitive nasal
tissues, will excite itching, crawling,
burning and sneezing. Dry air is an
irritant. Moisture, which lays the
dust, washes the air and impreguates

hopeless and that there is nothing
to be done to lessen the agonizlng
discomfort. Your doctor will tell you
