 If these methods are carried out for a few years the results will, 1t is believed, justify both the cost and the energy expended. at least in many localities
 The most important hay fever weeds, however, such as the rag weeds have not been specified in most Of these laws because 1t has been only recently that their noxious character from a health standpoint has been recognized. Many of the less active hay fever weeds are mem tioned. however, particularly the yellow dock and the cookie bur.
 A number Of cities have taken up the matter Of preventing hay fever by the eradication of noxlous weeds and have passed municipal ordi- nancos which have been helpful.
 Health is one Of mans most valu- able assets and every person has right to ask that his health shall not SuNcr because of CareleSsness or neglect on the part Of his noighbor. If hay fever weeds ore allowed 10 grow on neglected premises, vacant lots, and uncultiyated fields. and to infect the air with noxious pollen. hay fever sufferers are centainly en- titled to relief.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. II. s, CUMMING Surscaon General, United states Public Health Department

Prevention of hay fever by the
 eradication of weeds that produce
 me noXlous pollens is a more com.
 rhcat"d problem In the Pacific and Rocky Mountain states than 1t is in
 the eastern states.
 This is due to the fact that the taIl hay fever is caused by the pol-
 len o' larger number Of plants. It mas aIr"0dy been pointed out that in
 he cast as a rule the most prolong- cd anl most severe cases of spring
 hay fever are caused by timthoy pol
 lon.
 Timothy Is, Of course, valuable grass and while it stands in some what the same relation to spring hay fo}'r as rag weed does 10 tho fall typo of hay fever, it is doubt ful if it is possible or desirable to prohibit th" growing of timothy hay. lt Is estimated that east of the state of Kansas between S0 per cent and 9o rcr cent af fall hay fever Is due 10 tt' common rag Weod The rag weed is in very different class from timothy. So far as it known, rag weed serves no useful purpose. T. and many other weeds which wo have mentioned shou1 he oAtHrmi- mated.
 Many grasses have pollen Of con siderable side and their pollen is not carried 10 q great distance. On this account when cities have endeay- ored to control early hay fever caused h% these grasses their efforts lave hoen attended with consider. able succoss.
 Al the other extreme. however, is the pollen Of the raE we'd, who's" huoyancy is 90 great that wind velocity of twenty miles or nor" will carry i' several m'oe Tn" odp- cation of tho public in tho royious- ness of thosc woods from a bay forr e'anlpoint is of tho greatest import anC". When this has h""u accom- p'ishod suitable legislation will b. enacted.
 Tharo are many pcoplo, sufferers from rav fever. who do H1t r'allz" trat common weeds ara the cause of their suffering. There arc many ether poopln who allow woods in their hack yards and vacant lots or along their roadsilcs to go uncut ho- cause they likewise do not ,ndor- stand that by allowing thts" weeds 10 grow unchecked they are bringing suffering 10 many persons who may ,n living even at distanc"s cons'1"r- ably removed from the weed patch- s.
