Threatened with the heaviest
chinch bug lnfestatIon ever record
ed In the history OF the state. nli-
nols farmers should consider revls-
Ing their rotations as a means OF
partially protecting their 1884 corn
crop.
BY this Is meant the location OF
legume crops In the rotation so as
TO Isolate the small grain, corn and
grass delds where the chinch bugs
are prone TO breed and feed. II has
been proved that legumes are dis
tasteful 10 this Insect pest. and sep
aratlng the bugs "favorite" crops
with legumes is suggested as one OF
several control measures. Further
more, the addition OF one or more
legumes Will improve the fertility
OF the land on which they arc
grown.
A hve-year rotation supplying this
dual purpose may consist OF corn,
oats. clover, corn and soybeaus. In
this case. not only Is co per cent
OF the farm In legumes. but 50 per
cent Is In cash crops. One crop OF
corn Is completely set Off between
two legumes. which In many cases
will prevent serious damage from

When wheat Is grown with a max

be planned. An important feature
OF this combination Is that the

chinch bug. is isolated from the
corn crops by a legume on either

Of Yours
Natural Defenses of the
Body
By
JAMES W. BARTON, Nj. d.

a LTHOUGH man has a wonder
1 \ ful brain, there are a number
OF things done by the body TO pro-
tect him that are not directed by
mans will.
Something irrltates the nose and
a sneeze removes II. Something ir-
ritates the throat or bronchial
tubes and a cough sends 1t up and
out OF the body.
Some food or other substance.
placed In the mouth, is irritant

medlately there is a great flow OF
saliva or the mouth digestive juice.

shield II from harm, little substances
do get into the eye. When this hap
pens the tears flow abundantly to
wash the substance out.
However, as DR.. Walter b. Can
non, Harvard, points out, there are
other processes going on in the body
which, while they do not act as
quickly as sneezlng. coughing, vomlt-
Ing, and the flow OF tears. are pro-
tecting you all the time from various
troubles.
Something rough rubs or presses

Lessening the Distress in
Hay Fever

VOU are hay fever victim.
4 You have tried the pollen ex-
tracts and find yourself one of the
number not helped by them.
You have heard about the air
chambers or air rooms where VIC
tins may spend a number OF hours
a day free from the irritation of the
pollen that is In the air. but there
is none of these chambers In your
vicinity or you are unable to afford
the time and money even II there
were.
What can you do to lessen the
Irritation from hay fever?
These is no question but that
some OF the preparations sold by
your druggist will give you some re-
lief. Most of them contain adrena-
lin, and some have some pain kill
ing preparations mixed with the
adrenalin.
Is there anything else you can do
to help carry you through this try
ing time until the frost brings re-
lief?
hay fever sufferers have found
that II they keep themselves in good
condition physically. paying strict
attention to their diet and to in
testInal movement, they get great
measure of relief from the hay fe-
yer symptoms.
Diet is most important. II has
been found that an acid diet aggra-
Yates the symptoms in a great many
cases, so that while acid foods must
be eaten they should be eaten in
smaller quantities during the hay fe-
yer season.
This means that cereals, meat.
eggs, fish, coffee and tea must be.
cut down; butter and sugar kept at
their usual amounts; and vegetables,
fruits and milk increased.
The bowels must be kept active by
the use of fruits and rough or coarse
vegetables In some cases very small
doses Of epson salts-a half tea
spoonful-every morning has been
found helpful.
No one ever dies of hay fever but
1t is q very miserable ailment dur
ing the weeks ii exists. and until a
cure is found for each case. follow
ing the above suggestions may be Of
some help.

HAzEN MAPS FIGHT
ON BOOTLEGGERS
Determined Campaign Plan
ned Against Liquor Law
VioIators and Gamblers.

A determined campaign against boot
leggers and professional gamblers will
be waged by the District Commissioners
in cooperation with the new United
States attorney, Leslie c. Garnett. it
was announced today by Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen.
Plans for the drive were discussed at
a meeting of the Board of Commits
sioners. Hazen said afterward.he would
Immediately call into conference Mai.
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent of po-
lice, and outline to him the general
program agreed to.
Hazen, who has direct supervision
over the Police Department, said he al
ready had conferred with the new
United States attorney and had been
promised the fullest cooperation.
I'VE do not have in mind any spec
tacular raids" said Commissioner
Hazen,, "but we hope by means of real
cooperation between the police and
prosecuting officials to drive these
violators of law out of our community" /"
Commissioner Hazen said that with
the repeal of the prohibition amend
ment and the expected enactment of
a liquor control measure for the Dis
trict, the Commissioners would expect
to have full cooperation from the pub
Lie in actions taken against bootleggers.
When legal liquor is made available
to residents of Washington I believe
that we will have the cooperation of
the public in continued effort to stamp
out the bootleg traffic. he said. with
legal liquor available, there no longer
will be any excuse for public traffic
with bootleggers."
Commissioner Hazen did not disclose
what plans he had in mind as to ef-
forts to run professional gamblers out
of town. He did say that in a city the
size of Washington it was to be ex-
pected professional gambling operations
would be disclosed. His purpose is to
get the evidence and take the cases to
court and to obtain convictions with
the cooperation of the United States
attorney
Commissioner Hazen said that the
District now has special squad of Of
flcers assigned to deal specifically with
vice and bootlegging matters, but that
he expected every member of the de-
partment to assist in a continued cam
paign.

ALLEYS CLEANUP
PROGRAM BANNED
Budget Bureau Says Pro-
posaI to Spend S500,000
Is Contrary to Plan.

The Bureau of the Budget has noti-
fed the District Commissioners that the
proposed legislation for use of fund
of S500.000 IN the Treasury to the credit
of the United States Housing Corpora
tion for the elimination of alley dwell
ings in the District is not in accord with
the financial program of the President
This word was transmitted today by
the Commissioners to Chairman Norton
of the House District Committee in
report on the measure she sponsored
during the past session of Congress for
the use of this fund for alley dwelling
elimination: A similar bill ives intro
duced in the Senate last session by
Senator Capper of Kansas. The Com
missioners approved of the objectives
stated In the bill. but could not sponsor
enactment of the measure because OF
the action of the Bureau OF Budget.
Since the introduction of this meas
ure, proposals have been laid before
the P. w. A. calling for the use of
some of the construction funds made
available for use in the national re-
covery program for plans for rebuild
ing of slum areas.
Commissioners Report.
The Commissioners today wrote to
Chairman Norton:
The Commissioners have noted that
District funds are not involved and
that $500, 900 of the unexpended funds
OF the corporate funds of the United
States Housing Corporation will be
made available under the terms of the
bill for the purpose of inaugurating the
program contemplated
The Commissioners are heartily in
favor of the purposes of the bill, as
they believe the elimination of alley
dwellings would be of great benefit to
the District of Columbia.
Bureau Ruling Cited.
However, they desire to invite your
attention to the inclosed copy of let
ter from the director of the Bureau of
the Budget, dated January 9, 1894, in
which the director states that the pro-
posed legislation, which makes avail
able for its purposes s500,00o of funds
in the Treasury of the United States to
the credit of the United Staes Housing
Corporation. would not be in accord
with the financial program of the Pres
ident"
The Norton-C -Capper bill provided for
the purchase by condemnation or gift
Of land or buildings in inhabited alleys
for the replanning of such land. for
the leasing, management and mainten-
ance of such buildings and for loans to
limited dividend corporations to be en-
gagged in the development of new
structures on alley dwelling sites.

Senate Committee Yet to
Decide License or Dis
pensary Issue.
DETAILS TO CONSUME
ALL DAY TOMORROW
Majority Expected to Favor Pri-
Vate Licensing, With Margin
of Vote Not Over Two.

The Senate District Committee to-
day restored to the local liquor bill a
ban against drinking on the streets,
parks or other spaces. which had been
knocked out by the House, but did not
complete the bill or take final vote
on the issue between the private license
or Government dispensary systems.
Chairman King predicted it would
take the rest Of today and all of to-
morrow to finish working out the de.
tails Of the measure in the committee.
After finding yesterday that sentiment
was closely divided as between the pri-
vate license and the Government dis
penSary plans, the committee decided
to go ahead and perfect the details of
the House bill and have a final test
at the end on the question of whether
a dispensary system should be substi-
tuted.
The belief prevailed at the Capitol
today that there will be a majority to
report favorably the private license
plan, although the margin is not ex-
pected to. be more than one or two
votes. Just before the committee went
into executive session this morning a
delegation Of women made a final plea
for substitution of the dispensary
method.
Davis Plans Amendment.
Senator Davis, Republican of Penn
sylvania, is preparing to offer an
amendment in the committee later to
eliminate the alcohol control board of
three members and require the District
Commissioners to handle the issuance
OF licenses and supervise the places
licensed. Indications were, however,
the amendment would not carry.
The new section inserted in the pri-
vate license bill by the Senate commit
tee today to prohibit drinking in public.
reads as follows:
mo person shall. in the District of
Columbia, drink any alcoholic beverage
in any street, alley park or parking, OF
IN any vehicle In or upon the same, OF
IN any place to which the public is in
vlted for which license has not been
issued here and under permitting the
sale and consumption OF such alcoholic
beverage upon such premises. No per-
son shall be drunk or intoxicated in any
street, alley. or in any vehicle In or upon
same, or in any place to which the pub
lie is invited. or at any public gathering.
and no person anywhere shall be drunk
or intoxicated and disturb the peace of
any person
The House made it an offense to be
drunk or intoxicated in any public
place, but by not prohibiting drinking
in public places made it possible for a
customer to open bottle and consume
it on street or in the park.
Other Agreed Changes.
Other changes agreed upon this morn
ing were: No limit would be placed
on the number of "on sale" licenses
that could be issued to companies op-
Grating number of hotels, restaurants
or taverns. As the bill stood yester-
day hotel and restaurant companies
could get ION sale" licenses at only
three locations. The bill still allows
only one of sale" license to chain
stores for sale of liquor in sealed bottles.
Another amendment requires that
