DR.. T. S Heaton. Toronto, who
made a study OF the various causes
and different methods OF treatment,
gives conclusions reached after re-
viewing some OF the work and writ
ings OF sixty-six physicians doing re-
search work on hay fever and
asthma
He believes that the treatment OF
hay fever and asthma by the avoid
ance OF the substances that cause
these conditions is the best method
at this time. Rooms In which these
substances cannot enter and the use
Of air filters are OF great value In
fighting these ailments. Avoidance
OF the foods known TO cause hay fe-
yer or asthma Is the best method
OF treating this particular type
Certainly asthma and hay fever
are difficult to cure. Certainly. too,
the special treatment by extracts
can help many at any age"

these remarks by Doctor Heaton,

Her sails were set on a starboard

her. finding TO their astonlshment

The decks were absolutely In or

Standing at Wall and Nassau
streets, my imagination went back
to l45 years ago. The stone struc-
ture, once the United States sub
treasury, now the passport Office,
changed 10 a much different build
ing-the city hall OF Colonial
times. which was also the capitol
OF the province OF New York. The
hurrying crowds OF bankers. brok-
ers, panhandlers. messengers. run
ners, telegraph operators, typists,
filing clerks. traders, mlllionaires
and down and cutters changed TO
those who had witnessed the birth
OF liberty. The hurrying ceased
and Colonlals massed in front OF
the city hall. Then the Ward
statue OF George Washington
changed from bronze TO flesh and
blood. On a platform were the
members OF the First congress OF
the United States of America. With
them were generals who had fought
under Washington. Beside Wash
ington stood Robert IL. Livingston,
chancellor of the state of New
York and grand master of the Ma
sons. Heads were barred and there
was a great stiffness. Chancellor
Livingston was about to administer
the inaugural oath to the first Pres
Ident of the United States.
The Coolidge examiner., 1934-07-13

Instead OF administering the oath,
Chancellor Livingston turned to
Gen. Jacob Morton, marshal Of the
day. There was whispered con-
ference, at the conclusion of which
General Morton hurried away while
the crowd wondered. From the
platform, General Morton sped to
the Old Coffee house at Wall and
Water streets, the meeting place OF
st. Johns lodge of Masons Of which
he was master. He was gone only
a few moments. When he returned,
he was carrying large Bible rest
ing on a cushion Of crimson vel
vet. He had taken that Bible from
the altar OF St. Johns lodge. Then
ii became known to those on the
platform at least that while other
details had been attended to care
fully the matter Of a Bible for ad-
ministering the oath had been over
