tittle Probability That Hoosier Girl
Will Ever Eradicate Stingy Streak
From Present One.
The stingiest young mas has been
Jlscovered and he is a Hoosier too?
ring in Terre Haute, says the In
(Sanapolis News. He has long been
termed a chair-warmer by the family
af the girl whom he honors with his
sampany, for he has never taken her
da a'show?even a moving picture one.
A*for candy and flowers, well he has
aot sent or brought any of either.
As he seemed to be really nice the
*trf decided1 that perhaps he was green
?that he needed a little hint. So the
sther night she decided to give him
me.. After he had occupied about an
door of her time .and also of her fa
Mmt's-hp?t nnri plertric lieht. she said:
JTifi so hungry for candy. Will
jura go to the drug store with me so
itiat I can get some?"
Hp rc/se to show his willingness, and
ahe girl was delighted, believing that
er plan was going to work. But when
he drug store was reached and the
wody was bought, he displayed no In
dntiot! of paying the bill. So, of
sourse, she hed to do It herself.
Furious at him and the whole world,
Mi she carried the box home and put
atOI In Its wrappings, on the piano

?f the evening she tortured him by
Wktog of the joy she would have on
tte morrow when she ate the candy.

lateresttng observations made by
Dr. William Sheppegrell, president of
ifte American Hay Fever Prevention
association, are reported in a paper
jafellshed by him. As a result of a j
red-cutting campaign carried out in j
Wrir Orleans in the spring of 1916 the i
amber of hay fever cases was re- J
iMtd to less than 50 per cent of the |
antsI prevalence. The "cold storage" j
treatment of the disease, in which ?
practically all ventilation is excluded J
la order to Insure the absence of at- j
saosphertc pollen,- is said to afford only j
transient relief, while the low tem- i
puatuic Is likely to cause bronchitis, j
The effects of an abundapt rain on hay JI
flWer patients is beneficial because tbe j
bob not only washes the pollen out of j
the air, but also permanently removes j
ft* toxic qualities, so that It is harm- I
its when again blown into the jir j
alter the rain is over. This has been j
proved by laboratory experiments, in !
wfcicfc pollen, after submersion in wa- I
er, was inhaled by hay fever subjects j
without any apparent effect. ;

Alexander today urged all Ameri
cans to eat fish for at least one meal '
on March 9, designated "National ^
Fish Day." '
The Secretary of Commerce in a *
statement making the request, als'o
asked fish dealers to give the. public (

places of business on that day.
America has plenty of fish, the
Secretary said, but its people are
among, the smallest consumers of
fish in the world.

sjttd eat 65 pounds of fish a year
per person, Sweden 52 pounds, Nor

pounds while the average American
