pollens and various other sub
stances. When these individuals
come in contact with one of these
substances, this Representatives
ness causes symptoms in various
parts of the body.
Hay fever, asthma and hives. to
name the commonest forms OF al
leroy, are conditions of this type.
Why some people have this hyper
sensitivenoss and others do not Is
unknown, although it is quite def
nitely of an hereditary character.
Allergy may appear in persons
in childhood or in later life. have
known of two sisters, one was at
f1icted with hay fever in childhood
while the other was perfectly free
from it until about the age Of
thirty when she too developed hay
fever.
In children allergy takes several
forms: they may have hay fever or
asthma. They are particularly
likely to have a peculiar reaction
of the mucous membrane Of the
nose which becomes swollen and
DOGGY and causes a running drain
age and a chronic cold.
Disturbances of Stomach
Another form Of allergy in chill
dren attacks the digestive system
and there may be attacks of dis
turbance of the stomach with
cramp, a chronic gaseous disten-
sion and diarrhoea followed by
constipation.
One type of digestive disturb
anc due to allergy IN children is
cyclic vomiting. This comes on
in attacks beginning in the pro-
dromal period with loss of appe-
tite, listlessness and ir|ritability,
languor and a little fever and then
later, a pain in the pit of the stom-
ach, gastric disturbance and final
ly the vomiting which lasts from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours,
followed by severe p%rostration.
This does not occur in adults and
the patient eventually wears it out.
The average age of these patients
is seven anG one-half years and
the symptoms appear periodically
for three to four years. Sometimes
they also have asthma and hives
and other skin eruptions.
Another form Of aIlergy which
affects children almost exclusively
is infantile eczema. These poor
little tots about the age Of one
year begin to have raw, scaly, itchy
areas on the face and hands which
constitute a very distressing con-
dition. No one can blame the baby
for being irritable and toucAy and
unresponslve.

WIND DAMAGE KENrON AREA
Barn Blown Over, Church Roof
Blown OFF, Many Trees Felled

The Kenton area was hardest hit
in a tornado-like storm that hit
Delaware early Sunday night. A
barn on the Attix farm, occupied
by Earl Cook, collapsed from the
wind pressure, trapping a farm
hand and a cow he was milking in
the wreckage. Smyrna firemen
were called to assist in the rescue.
The farmland was slightly injured,
and a COW was killed. Damage
was estimated at $500, since all
of the outbuildings, although not
bnown over, were moved from their
foundations. The old Bryn Zion
Baptist Church, built in 1880, was
completely wrecked by the wind
storm. The roof was blown off,
one brick wall collapsed, and eight
or ten of the surrounding trees
were broken in half, their tops car
ried yards away. A large tree fell
onto the roof of the Luther Lap
ham house on that farm near Clay
ton. Trees throughout this entire
area were felled, and other DAM
ages done, including windows
blown in on the Hill farm, occupied
were estimated at $500, since all

COUPONS NOT
EXCHANGEABLE
1t Is Illegal to LEND" Ration

only. If everybody does this there
will be enough to go around" said
