The PEOPLES HEALTH
By Samuel @. PavIo, MD.
HAY FEVER

MA FEW Elk
Hay Fever is a disease manifested
by attacks of sneezing accompanied
by nasal discharge and frequent
obstruction of nasal breathing. The
eyes are infiamed, tear and itch, and
there is also itching of the palate
around the ears or other parts of the
face. Occasionally it is complicated
by wheeling and asthmatic breathing
Hay Fever is a seasonal disease de-
pending entirely on the dates of polli-
nation of trees, grasses and weeds
and the symptoms correspond to the
exact period when the particular pol
/ len appears in the air. The process
Of fertilization of the flower by the
transfer of pollen from the anthers
to the stigmas of the pistil is called
pollination. 1t is evident that only
windborne pollen comes in contact
with man and affects him. The insect
borne pollen or the pollen which ferti-
Lies in the same flower does not float
in the aid and does not come in con-
tact with man and affects him. The
insect-borne pollen or the pollen which
fertilizes in the same flower does not
float in the air and does not come in
contact with man freely.
1t is estimated that an average per-
son inhales about 1000 pollen grains
in twenty-four hours, depending upon
the quentity of pollen in the air. The
wind carries the pollen high on a dry
sunny day.
There is as much pollen at an ele-
walton of 1000 feet as at sea level
1t diminishes in amount above 5000
feet elevation, becoming almost nil at
$4,000 feet That is why Hay Fever
sufferers who go to the White Noun
talns to escape the tortures of the
disease are sadly disappointed. The
elevation is not high enough to pre-
vent the wind from carrying the pollen
up. The faster a person moves, the
more pollen he inhales. A patient
riding fast in an automobile or train
encounters a greater amount of pollen
and suffers more from symptoms than
when walking.
Sunshine stimulates the production
Of pollen, while cloudy days are I'M
favorable. A slow or heavy rain over
several days will free the air from
pollen, because of the lessened pro-
duction and the settling down of the
pollen. Pollination ceases when the
temperature falls below 60 degrees
while a temperature of rs degrees is
the most favorable Off opening flow
ers. They usually open in the morn
ing, and the pollen is carried by wind
in great quantities at that time. The
knowledge of all these factors of pol
lination is important to interpret and
fully to understand the symtomato-
logy and treatment of the Hay Fever
patient.

There is seldom any excuse for Offend

It's so easy to make your breath sweeter

s1'he insidious thing about this ofc1-

has it at some time or other without
realizing it. Experienced people protect
themselves by gargiing with Listerine
Antiseptic morning and night, and be-

quickly halts fermentation, said by
some authorities TO be a major cause

-FOUR TRUSTEES
 REPLACED
Governor Baldwin to Re- piace Norwich Hospital
 Board Members

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 16-(UP)- Four of the eleven trustees of Nor- wich State Hospital for the Insane who signed c report defending the institution against charges of incorn- petent operation, will be replaced by Gov. Baldwin "very soon," 1t was re- ported reliably today.
 Regular terms of the four expired last year but they were given hold over appointments pending an inves- tigation of the hospital after State Sen. Joseph B. Downes charged that conditions there "stink to high heaven"
 The governor, 1t was said, allowed the trustees to remain in oftice be- cause he thought it inadvisable to change the personnel of the board until investigation had been com- pleted.
 A special Investigating commission headed by Dr. Creighton Barker re- turned 2 report of incompetency in conducting the institution and rec commended its superintendent, pr. Chester Waterman, be replaced.
 The trustees, who conducted their own inquiry, denied all of the find- ings of the Barker commission. One member of the board, however, Dr. Edward J. Brophy, refused to sign the report. He was one of two physi- clans on the board.
 It was understood today that Gov. Baldwin was studying the transcript of testimony given before the Barker commission.
 The executive arranged Q confer- ence for later in the day with Frank L. Mcclure, New London, chairman of the trustees, at the state capitol. It was not known whether anyone else had been invited to the meeting, ct which 1t was reported the surveys of both the Barker commission and the trustees would be discussed.
 Terms of the proposed new ape pointees would extend until i945.

 Harold M. Kennedy, United States attorney in Brooklyn, said his joint inquiry with the federal bureau of investigation, which resulted in the arrest of the l8 clerks, salesmen, and manual workers revealed that the leaders had threatened "imme- diate action" as Q result of which the arrests were made earlier than had been planned. He said evidence his men and collected indicated that the alleged terrorists planned to start their activities about Jan. 20. An investigation into possible tieup between the group and the outlawed Irish Republican army also was under way.

 We expect more arrests" Ken- nedy said. We have merely scratched the surface. My men and the F. B. l. are continuing to make a thorough check on the background of these men,"
 He said every effort would be made to expedite the trial of the alleged conspirators who, according UO k1OOVeEI 1hfG bSSAA "0AAAA6 ASA months at suburban camps.
