It's Sneezin' Time
Science Tries Drugs in Hay Fever

hay fever would go away-going
back to the good old principle Of
getting the right medicine fo1
what ails you.
The drug suggested is potas-
SUM chloride. Opinions differ as
to its effectiveness. In Tucson,
Arizona, a doctor reported good
results in cases of hay fever and
chronic vasomotor sinus trouble.
In Chicago, on the other hand,
practically no good results were
reported. The same tidings come
from San Diego, California. The
theoretical basis on which the
treatment was first suggested was
the finding of low blood serum po-
tassium in allergic states.
This particular attempt may OF
may not be successful, but the
hope that allergic manifestations
will some day respond to simple
drug therapy is an encouraging
one.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
j. E.-"Please tell me what ]
can eat in place of meat in re-
ducing diet. | have always had
an aversion to meat and have
never eaten it. In place of it ]
have eaten cheese. l can eat fish,"
Answer-Either cheese or fish
will take the place of meat to
certain extent. Also some vege-
tables have high protein con.
tent, such as beans, peas, wheat
and oatmeal.
M. F.-"Plcase tell me if nausea
can be caused by nervousness"
Answer-Nearly any symptom
can be caused by nervousness and
nausea is one which is most easily
excited in this way. If by nervous
ness is meant any emotional dis.
turbance or imbalance, it must be
evident that nausea can be caused
in this way. The common phrase
ut made me sick at my stomach"
is an indication of how frequent
the association is.
C. H.-"What are the seven
organs of the abdomen, and also
the ten nerves of the body"
Answer-This sounds as if the
questioner had been reading a
Chinese or chiropractic book Of
medicine. To name only eleven
organs there are, in the abdomen,
the stomach, small intestine, ap-
pendix, colon, liver, two kidneys,
two adrenals, spleen, and pam
creas. There are several thousand
nerves in the body.

Larger Cash
Income For
Farmers Seen

Washington, Feb. 5.-(AP)-The
agriculture department predicted To-
day that American farmers would
receive a larger cash income dur
ing the early months Of 1910 than
in the same months last year.
Large quantities CT agricultural
produce was said to he moving into
domestic consumption channels at
prices averaging higher than a year
ago.
The department emphasized, how
ever, that the purchasing power Of
farm products in terms Of. non-farm
goods and services continued below
The pre-World War level. 1t is the
goal Of the departments farm pro-
grams TO restore prices TO a level
which would give farm products
purchasing power equal to that Of
the l9lG-l4 period.
Although prices Of most farm
commodities are higher than they
were last winter, prices are lower
for tobacco, hogs, poultry and eggs.
The supply of tobacco is the largest
on record, the European market has
been shut off as result Of the war;
the 1889 pig crop was the largest
in l6 years, and production of poul-
try and eggs has been unusually
heavy this winter.

VIII admit you into the Wake Forest
gymnasium for the Wake Forest
Monogram Clubs Stunt Night, an an

And when the Monogrammers say
stars, they mean just that. Pacing
the Deacon "oldtimers" will be Jim
Waller, holder of the Southern Con-
ference record for scoring and an
all-Southern performer for three
straight years, and Boyd Owen,

bic basketball down a court. Other
stalWarts of yesteryear, including

complete the old gold and black
lineup. On the State College side of
things there will be Jim Rennie, P.
C. Hill, and probably Silent" Bill
Mann, as fierce a trio as ever wore
4 red uniform, to fire away at the
hoop.
But don't think that the basket
ball game is the only thing in store
for the night. 1t is merely a begin
ming. Between the halves of the con-
test there will be Professor Quiz
