report in the Virginia Enterprise, at
tributed the death to brain hemorr-

Americans want to work for
their pay. Those who are ev-
erlastingly looking for some
thing for nothing are not Am
orleans.
The Miner is of the same op-
inion Commander Stevens has
expressed. We are not in
sympathy with the idea adj
vanced before the city council
of Duluth a few days ago when
radical groups appeared be-
fore that body and demanded
''just a few little things" as
follows: A weekly dole; ex-
emption from taxes, free gas,
water and light; free fuel and
medical supplies from funds to
be raised by cutting official
salaries, use of the interest and
sinking funds, turning over the
Community Fund receipts to
the unemployed and special
taxes on everybody but them
selves.
In conformity with this line
we suggest to Mayor Wolff and
the City Council of this city,
that employment be created
for our unemployed. The AM
orleans among our people want
work and not charity. The
question then arises, what can
be done to furnish work for our
people now on the unemployed
list which will not conflict with
existing statutes, charters and
laws. There are a dozen ways
to skin a cat and these ways
are being illustrated every day
for less worthy objects than
the one that now confronts US.
Ely is not broke and abund-
antly able to care for its unem-
ployed with about twelve days
a month each and without rails
ing taxes. In a very necessary
pinch, providing this depres-
sion keeps up any length of
time, which we do not believe
will be the case when we look
at the optimistic trend of bust
ness throughout the land) a
bond issue could be fioated to
tide US over and used in case
it is necessary.

Here is a chance to create
work. The city has recently
acquired a piece of land for
cemetery purposes. In order
to make this available for the
purpose for which it was pur-
chased, it will be necessary to
remove hill of gravel. Under
the title and purpose of GENE
terry Improvement, this gravel
can be used for completing the
Ely airport. Some may say the
airport is county property but
the fact nevertheless remains
that it is the Ely airport and of
benefit to Ely alone. Commits
sioner Pete informed US today
that there had been included
in the county levy for next year
the sum of $4,000 for Ely air.
port improvement. For this
we should be duly thankful
and do just a little bit ourselves
to help our airport. If this is
done, steam shovels should be
taboo and men given work and
those who need it most. This

BY DR.. Logan Clendining-

When the roses bloom again,
Jessie, dear, there will be a
number of unfortunateS with
runny noses and itching eyes
who will curse the roses loud
as well as deep.
But the roses have nothing
to do with spring hay fever
or seasonal catarrh. For most
victims, the attack begins the
last of May or the first of
June and goes through June
and sometimes part of July.
This is roughly the time when
the roses also bloom, and be-
cause they flower about She
time his troubles begin and
fade about the time they end,
it is natural for the victim to
blame it all on the roses.
Roses Art Not Guilty
But in spite of all this SEEM
ingly overwhelming evidence,
the fact remains that the roses
are not the guilty party. You
cannot produce rose fever with
rose pollen or rose dust, but
you can produce it with the
pollen of the grasses. Grass
does not have a conspicuous
flower like the rose, and that
is why it went so long unSus-
pected as the cause Of early
summer catarrh. But it has
a flower just the same, and II
blooms at the same time the
roses do, scattering it's light
pollen to fertilize other flowers
on the wind. And some Of this
wind-borne dust lights in the
rose" fever patients nose or
eyes and causes the symptoms.
Blue grass and orchard grass
and timothy are the commonest
causes of spring hay fever. The
trees produce it in some other
people but these are in the
minority. The cottonwood and
the box elder pollenate in April,
the oak and ash in May, the
walnut in May and early June.
Rye, dock, bluegrass, orchard
grass, lambs quarter and
timothy, successfully, from early
May to late July.
Vaccines Are Used
Treatment has been given by
vaccines. These vaccines are
made by dissolving the pollens
in a liquid and giving increasing
doses to the patient by hypoder-
mis- injection. AS a preliminary
the exact grass to which the
patient is sensitive must be
found. This is done by scratch
ing the skin and placing some
of the pollen extract IN the
scratch.

The first sign that love is on

that the brand of a woman's

Genius, in a husband, is that

whether he will wake up in

A man always imagines that,

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I have been going with a
boy for nearly a year and he
has told me more than once
that he loves me. But at times
he gets very mean and nasty,
though later he is always will
ing to ask for forgiveness.
About a month ago he left the
city without telling me he was
going, and never wrote me a
line during his absence. He
came back and the following
evening visited me, and has
been coming to see me every
evening since. He lost his job
while he was away, and he is
having a hard time getting
work. He's so improved since
he came back that I hardly
know what to do, because I am
really in love with him, but do
not wish to overlook his past
bad behavior. DOUBTFUL.
