Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

BY DR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States Pub
 lie Health Service.
 The actual number of hay fever producing weeds Is large and any weed growing in great profusion and with an abundance of wind borne pollen possibly has its quota of hay feve' victims.
 One of the chief offenders is the common rag weed, sometimes known as ambrosia, or Roman wormwood, because it leaves resemble those of the wormwood. The rag weed is an annual with leaves much cut and thin. IL has spikes If green flowers at the end of the branches. It is found along road sides and in dry places, especially in fields that have been neglected after a crop of wheat, rye or oats has been harvested in early summer. It grows from one to five feet in height and blooms from August to October or later It is q native of America, is found in the dry soils from Nova Scotia to Flor ida and west 10 British Columbia and Mexico. It is, however compara- lively rare and local west of Kansas.
 Other Offenders Are:
 Giant Rad Weed, tall, unsightIy weed, also called the horsewced. IL grows from six 10 l5 feet in height with rough hairy stem. The lower leaves are deeply partaJ with sep arate margins. It is common in most soils from Quebec to Florida and west to Nebraska, Colorado, and New Mexico. In the moist land, near the Gulf Coast, it forms about 90 per cent of all the rag weeds.
 Western Rag Weed, perennial weed, growing from two to six feet in height, from running root stocks, thicker and stuter than .he common rag weed, covered with loose, shag- | BY hairs and thick leaves. This is the | common form of rag weed in Louis jana and in the prairie country. In the west 1t generally replaces the | common rag weed.
 False Wormwood grows from two 10 three feet in height with small white flowers resembling tiny Caifli- flowers. It is almost always in bloom and may, therefore, cause hay fever at any season of the year. It is very common along the streets and side walks and In vacant city lots. Its leaves closely resemble those of the be distinguished by the small white flowers. It grows In Florida and from Alabama 10 Texas. The dan gerous season is from January tc December.
 Marsh Elder. an annual growing from three to six feet high with 6 rough, hairy stem and a small, nod ding greenish- white head of flowers The marsh elder grows in mois ground and wet places. It is com mon from Nebraska to Louisiana, il Texas and New Mexico. The danger season is from August to November There is also a western elder { western plant, which grows from watery, creeping root stocks, with stems or branches nearly simple, e foot or two high. This elder usually grows in sandy, saline soil.

POLL PLAYERS DO WELL
 WITH WEAK CIRCUS SHOW
"Thc Leopard Lady" Must Be Improved To Survive On
 New York Stage.
(By Herald Reviewer.)

Draggy entertainment. That s what "The Leopard Lady" is. The Poi Players arc appearing in the piece at the Palace theater in Hart ford this week and are doing the job well.
 '"The Leopard Lady, is being pre- scented for the first time on any stage It is expected that it will ultimately reach New York. But it will need a lot of pruning and re- vsing if it wants to last in that city, where an ultra sophisticated au- dience will either walk out or go to sleep if the show it put on in its present condition.
 One thing may be said. It is a departure from the usual run of circus shows. The first act drags, however. The second act peps up and is brougth to snappy close, The last act includes a love scene which makes the audience restless. Titters of laughter and talk were heard all over the thcater during the act, the only lively section coming toward the end when the villain is knocked out, supposedly by blows from the loaded end of a whip. Ap- parently he succumed to heart trou- parently he succumbed to heart trou the aim of the leading lady was none too good,
 In spite of an extra long wait be- tween the second and third acts, the show was over by 10:30 o'clock. It leaves the audience with the feeling that they have seen nothing. The plot is rather weak and only the OK cellent acting of the cast holds the interest of those out front.
 Catherine Willard, the guest star is excellent in her portrayal of Paula, the leopard trainer. If you like Edna Earl Andrews you'll surely like Miss Willard's perform ance. They look and act enough alike to be sisters. Walter Scott Weeks has a strong part, that of the temperamental and fiery Cesare, a Cossack horseman. His work is un- usual Flora Gade, the ingenue, docs the best work of her season so fa' in Hartford, In the part of Tano' shimi, Japanese wire walker Hel work showed study and lots of 1t Then of course, Edmund Abbey a' the owner of the show, puts across his usual sterling effort.
 But Hartford audiences are scandal. They always laush vher they're not supposed to. They >angl at the costumes this week, which arr of the period of 1880. Next W"'F they'll laugh, too, probably. They always do.
