POLLENS FROM GRASSES
OF course. the real offenders
are the grasses. This was dis
covered long ago by an English
man named John Bostock, who
described his own case of yer
nal catarrh. 49,
lie found he had cold every
Spring and finally decided that
il was coincident with The
blooming of the grasses. He
published these observations in
a scientific journal and. although
he was an eminent medical man
and a distinguished psychologist,
his views were greeted with

sons wife Sarah. as if a place
had always been prepared for
his coming.
Mr.. Peterson brushed away
his tender thoughts and let
his face look rebelliouS. No
small wonder Sarah was kind.
He had his pension. And
many a time he had bought a
pair of shoes for one of his
grands. Sarah was A fool TO

Mr.. Peterson began TO think
about his retirement pension.
II was a nice round sum re-

every month. There were a
lot of things that he could do
with that pension. He could
lay down the law for one
thing. or move on his own, or
even marry again.

too, how much she would miss

Mr.. Peterson struggled up
and felt the cricks in his
bones He was rusty, that was
all Work would rub the
cricks out. He dismissed a
little flutter of doubt and
started toward the subway

But time has justified John
Bostock and we know now that
these periodical catarrhs are, in
truth, due TO the pollens from
the grasses which are thrown

Since the symptoms occur AT
about the same time as the
blooming of the roses, IT was
naturally thought for while

called rose fever"

another nice day Every old
man on the block would be
out. He would be shut up
inside a house the rest of
Spring, and all of Summer,

Winter, fetching and carrying
for a woman.
Desire for flight'turned his
feet to jelly. The housekeep-
er'S strong arms kept him
from falling. She eaSed him

doubtfully. She asked a little
nervouSly if he had these
spells often.
Mr.. Peterson gave her a
look of gentle guile. He
answered cheerfully that he
did. but they didn't worry
him.
II was plain that they wor-
ried the housekeeper Her
smile grew more strained.
Finally she blurted out that
she felt Mr.. Peterson wouldn't
do. A younger man would be
more suitable. Mr.. Peterson
grinned so broadly with relief
that the housekeeper decided
