Edison Adored His Mother

After Thomas Edison went home
from school and told his mother the
teacher said be was added and
hopeless as pupil, his mother took
it upon herself to- teach the boy.
This is what Edison wrote years
later in referring to the incident:
my mother was the most enthusi-
astic champion that boy ever had,
and was determined right then that
I would be worthy of her and show
that her confidence in me was not
misplaced. My mother was the
making of me. She was so true, so
sure of me; and felt that I had
some one to live for, some one
that must not disappoint."

Flute Was Used by Early
Hindus. Chinese. Japanes,


instruments Of the flute type app
pear to be Of very ancient origin.
The Hindus, Chinese and japanese
claim to have had them as far back
as their civilization can be traced,
and such instruments were also
known to the Egyptians, Greeks and
Romans. The first western trace Of
the transverse flute, notes a writer
in the Detroit News. is found in
German manuscript Of the Twelfth
century, >the ''Hortus deliciarum" of
the Abbess Herrad Won Landsperg.
The oldest form Of the English
flute had seven holes, which could
be stopped by the fingers, but had
no keys. This instrument was in
general use until about the begin
ming Of the Eighteenth century,
when 1t was replaced by the Ger
man flute, an instrument over two
feet long, which had six finger holes
for the normal tones and from six to.
twelve keys for the semi-tones. I'M
provements made in the middle of
the Nineteenth century by Theo-
bald Roehm, a German, working
with Gordon. an Englishman, en-
abled the player to produce music
on any key with all the chromatic
intervals. The chief Improvement
was a system Of keys permitting
several holes to be closed at the
same time with one movement of
the finger. ss, 80.

Health And
Hygiene
Rv m w n pro,,,r
Hay Fever
By DR.. w. D. Brown

John Bostock in 1919 described
a periodic affection of the eyes
and chest" as a disease entity. That
was the beginning of a study Of
what we now recognize as hay few
er. The symptoms excessive
sneezing, lacrimation, constant ma
sal discharge, itching of eyes and
nose, and general discomfort-are
we'll known.
The pollens of Towering plants
are borne through the air to every
one in the vicinity. One or two per
cent of those inhaling the pollens
are unable to withstand the physi-
co-chemical reaction of them on
the membranes of the eye, nose,
and lower respiratory system. In
these cases the membrane swells
and gives evidence of severe irri-
tation. The condition of the wealth
er determines the amount of pol
lens in the air and as result the
severity of the symptoms.
Polarization varies in different
localities, depending on the in
digenous type of plant families.
Thus the hay fever season may be
in the Spring, Summer, early Fall,
or any combination of these. This
fact is very important to know be-
cause susceptible person may
avoid the pollens of "a certain type
by going to another locality during
this time where the specific pollen
is absent; or he may be desensi-
tized one to three months before
the offending pollen is in the air.
From the foregoing it may be
seen that relief from this disorder
is not very simple matter. There
are many drugs used which give
variable results. Desensitizing
with the injection of increasing
amounts of the pollen to increase
resistance helps in many cases but
not all. Each case is a problem
which must be worked out indi-
vidually.
