TO END HAY FEVER 1 11 1,1 1 *' EXPERTS RECOMMEND THE ERADICATION OF WEED*. Extermination of Worthleee Plant*, They Believe, Would Help Greatly in the Effectual Starr) piny Out of the Diseaae. Hy u "war on woods" hay fevor suf ferers may be relieved of ail annual orgy of sneezing, according to ait ar ticle in tlu> Me<llt'al Hecord by l)r, NV. Scheppegrell ?>f Now Orleans, Ui, Doctor Hchcppegrcll was one of the men who caused the enactment of a city ordi nauvc In Now Orleans l'or the control of weeds as the best menus of controlling hay fever and preventing its spread. 4 In hiH article, "The Cause, Treatment and Prevention of Hay Fe ver," he says it is a simple disease, "whose continued existence Would be a reflection on preventive medicine." "The plants that are responsible for hay fevor are practically all commou weeds, such us the ragweed, the cockle burr, the yellow dock and others," he writes. "They are wind pollinated, without attractive color or fragrance, very numerous and with abuudant pol len. The lack of color or sceut is due to the fact that these plauts are vrlud pollinated, the quulltles mentioned be ing inteuded to attract insects for fer tilisation. 4MThe most common weeds that cause hay fovor are the ragweeds, which are the causes of most cases of fall hay fever. The marsh elder Is also a cause of fall hay fever and frequently pro longs the attack. The early cases are duo to the yellow dock and the mid summer cases to the eartflesa weed, cockleburr and other wind-pollinated weeds. Ib early summer many cases are due to the various grasses. "The Indirect reaction of polllcosls is partly due to the effects of the pri mary irritation and partly to the ab sorption of the protein of the pollen and the toxin formed by the proteo lytic action of the cells. "The Important factor In the treat ment is the removal of the exciting cause. In many cases the pollinating weeds are in the neighborhood of the patient's residence and the cutting of these will frequently give marked re lief. My first prescription to such pfc tleuts is, 'Have the weeds and grass in your neighborhood cut and keep away from other weeds.' "A method which has given relief In almost every case is the removal of the patient during the hay fever pe riod from the Infected locality. This does not necessitate an expensive trip to the mountains or swisule, which fre quently falls to give relief on account of the presence of huy fever pollens In the air at these places. A temporary visit to a mere central part of the city wfU be sufficient, provided the areas with pollinating weeds or grasses are atiu sufficient distance (one-half mile or more). "As hay fever has been shown to be a distinctly preventable disease, it is clearly our duty to use every effort to eradicate the cause. Investigations indicate that the large majority of the plants whose pollen give rise to hay fever are worthless weeds, which arc alike an expense to the farmer and a menace to health." Sharks Used as Food. An unreasonable prejudice exists In this country ugainst the use of shark like fishes (sharks, dogfish, rays, etc.) as food. A recent memoir by Lewis Radclifle, published by the United States bureau of fisheries, points out the flesh of various small species of this class as palatable, when properly prepared, and that this fact is better appreciated abroad than in this coun try. In England and Wales, in 1913, there were landed 64,990 hundredweight of dogfish, valued at $100,000. It appears, however, that u good deal of shark meat is eaten in the eastern United States by people who think they are eating something else. For example, trap fishermen in the neighborhood of Woods Hole, Muss., remove the head, fins and tall from all the larger spe cies of shark (except the sand shark) caught In their traps, after which treatment the body lodks not unlike swordflsh. It is then shipped to Boston and New Yark, where it is sold as deep water swordflsh. The fishermen re ceive from three to eight cents a pound for this class of food. Shark fins are a great dainty, not only In Japan and China, but also in the West Indies and Bermuda, where thpv annoar on the menus of the best hotels. Demand for Dyes. There are two Industries In the Cork district of Ireland that might consume considerable quantities of yellow dye. Cork Is one of the leading butter mar kets In the world and has lately become a margarine-producing center. The manufacturers have had difficulty In securing dyes of a sufficiently concen trated and powerful character. Their thief sources have been Scandinavia. American dyes have been found uneco nomical in quality as related to price, even though war conditions have In creased the price of north European dyes. i Packing for Vacation. "Jack?" "Yea?"

JUST BOX OF CARDBOARD Hundred* of Italian Famillee U*e ln> vention Coating Them Only ? Few Cents. Kvory American housekeeper who own* a tireless cooker know* that It uIIowh her to go to a matinee and find the dinner ull ready on her return. Hut it is to the honor und glory of Mr#. Oiusepplna Hlunchl Gelsser of Turin, Italy, that she has discovered endless cooking possibilities in the cardboard box thai took home b'>r last ICaster hat, Kays a Now York World correspondent. This is how to do It : Tako your strongest cardbourd hat box, and make sure it is neither broken nor cracked. See that the cover shuts tight. These two conditious are abso lutely essential. Fill your box with cither cotton wool, sawdust or hay, well packed In and perfectly dry. Make in the middle of this mass a hollow big enough to hold your casserole, covering It up with the cotton-wool, sawdust or buy ? cot ton- wool is really the best. Put whatever you want to cook into your casserole. lioil It on the fire for from ten to thirty minutes, according to the nature of your food, then put it In your hat box, where It will cook as in the most expensive tireless cooker. Then go to your matinee. Mrs. (Jelqqer says that you can leave It four hours without hurting the meat or stew. All the flavor 1s retained, for, belugjherniet ically sealed, the 'juices are preserved. Boll the vegetables ten to fifteen inln uts over the gas cooker or Are before pnttlng into the hat box and keep them there for two hours. Potatoes should be ten minutes on tire and one hour in hatbox, she thinks, and dried chestnuts twenty minutes on fire and two aud a half hours In hat box. Mrs. del user calculates that even with the hardest foodstuffs her system saves you from 80 to 50 per cent of firing. Food keeps hot for ten hours In the box. The Ideu has so taken with Turin housewives that hundreds of families are now us ing It. A local cookery school gives free lessons in the quickest way to turn hat boxes into flreless cookers. One woman discovered that the best way to close up the lid Is to sew automatic buttons all around it. All flreless cook ers on the market cost a lot of money. This one can be made by any practical woman for a few cents. Adjusting Burdens of Women. An English overseer of recruiting expresses the opinion that If flour bags . were only a little less cumbersome many men would be obtained for the British army who have now to bo ex empted because they cannot he spared from grocers' shops. While he ad mits that successful attempts have been made to introduce woman assist ants in grocers* shops, they cannot be expected to shoulder a sack of Hour, much less a bag of potatoes. It ap pears that strong protests are being made to the recruiting authorities by the grocers against the compulsory en listment of their male assistants of military age. They plead that the men are necessary, as the sacks of flour cannot be lifted by women. Departure from established stand ards are reputedly less frequent in the United Kingdom than in the United States, but it ought to be possible in the present crisis, when every able bodied man is needed In the British army, to adjust burdens in grocers' shops to the capacity of female backs without seriously fracturing the un written constitution. Russian Enterprise. The enterprise of the Russian peas ants is continually giving evidence ot the nation's readiness for progress. The phenomenal success of the con sumers' leagues has euabled the estab lishment of numerous factories and distributing centers on capital owned by the peasants themselves. The mis taken Impression of the mujik us a moneyless dweller on the -jsoll^ia brought into sharp contrast by the real ization that the Russian peasant Is now thriftily Investing his savings Id industrial enterprises. Thus, the credit society of Sapojok, government of Riazan, has Just bought a factory for the purpose of manufacturing agri cultural machinery for 23,000 rubles. Members of the society alone will be employed In making the winnowing and crushing machines. Chinese Women 8tudents in Japan. Chinese girl students in Tokyo are no longer th^ curiosity that they were in former yen^'f^ere being scarcely spy girls' school in the metropolis but has among its students young ladles from-China. Many of these girls are studying to become teachers, others are only anxious to acquire new khowl TTtgc and become worthy citizens of their country. There are 20 Chinese women, mostly married, studying at Mme. Yoshloka's Medical School for Women, Kawadacho, Ichigaya. These naturally wish to go into practice when they have completed their studies. ? Herald of Asia Feminine Intuition. Her ? The gentleman you Just recog nized is an artist, isn't he? Him ? Yes.

Cleveland Claim* the Record of Hav ing the Moet Accurate of World'* Timekeeper*. | In the Case School of Applied Scl t euee In Cleveland there is a clock that holds the world's record for accurate timekeeping. Over a period of several months It showed a variation of only { eight-thousandths of a second a day, : which, In m year's time, would bo less than three seconds. Ship chronometer*, which are the i moat accurate time measuring Instru ments In general use, cannot keep true time within less than three to (We sec onds u month. Marine observations are absolutely dependent on accurute timepieces, hut ship's officers have to he satisfied If they can udjust their chronometers so that they will either ' gain or lose a certain amount each | day. Then they add or suhstract and get absolutely correct time. I This Case clock, says the Youth's Companion, stands on a stone pier, In, dependent of the building, that ex tends sixteen feet to u natural shale foundation. It Is in a small room sur rounded by two other rooms, all built with brick walls. Gas stoves heat the outer rooms, and electric contact ther mometers regulate the temperature. The gas atove flame automatically rises or falls with the variation in the outside air temperature. Thug on warm days In > August the flame in the gas stove is very low, while in below-stero January It burns at Its brightest. In the clock room Itself the temperature Is adjusted by an ordinary slxteen-can dle power Incandescent lamp tftftt HT flashed on and pff by another electric contact thermometer. The achopl strictly enforces the rule that there must never be more than two persons in title Inner room at one time. The clock, which stands five feet high, has three sepurate dials that reg ister the hours, minutes and seconds. It is Inclosed in an airtight glass J*r, inside of which are delicate instru ments for measuring temperature, at mospheric pressure and moisture, A ? small amount of chloride of llmet which is an efficient desiccating ma terial, is kept always in the Jar to ab sorb the moisture. By the aid of a set of dry batteries the clock automatically winds Itself every seven minutes. The movement is adjusted slow or fast by pumping air In or out of the glass container. Observations are made from the out side through double glass windows through the separating walls and by means of n small electric lamp placed over the dials. Not only can this wonderful piece of clock mechanism be adjusted to show less than a three second annual variation, but it Is also possible to make electric connections with other similar clocks elsewhere. With this as a master clock the others can be ! made to keep the same accumite time. Cripple Who Made Good. An interesting ease that eanie before the federal employment agency of the United States was that of a cripple who applied at the New York ofllce for a position as barninun on a dairy farm. The government's labor agent sent him to a dairy farmer who had ! applied for help. When the yripple ar rived at the dairy farm, the farmer, greatly incensed at the man's intirmity. refused to let him go to work, and | immediately communicated to the l agent his Indignation at being supplied with "a poor excuse for a man." The agent insisted that the farmer give the cripple a ohance to show his ability. Also, he made the proposition that instead of the $25 a month named as wages in the former agreement, the cripple should be allowed to work at the rate of a dollar a cow per month, he to milk all the cows he could handle. The farmer took the agent up on this offer, with the result that the cripple has been getting $30 a month for h!s work.--- World's Work. External and Internal Use. "Yes," he said, "we must cut down and economize. I've brought 'home a sample bottle of very cheap "claret, which I think I shall have to drink lu the future." "Good I" she responded. "And I have made a pint of furniture polish from an old recipe, ever so cheaply." . It was a few days afterward that the breeze arose. "How was I to know," he stormed, "that you'd pat your furniture polish Into a wine bottle? Great wonder I'm not poisoned I" "And how was I to know I was pol ishing the table with your old claret?*' ahe fired back. "Anyhow, It answered very well, and when you drank the fur nltore polish you said It was a very good wine for the price!" ? Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Turkish Food Supply. A Wolff telegruih from Constanti nople published in the German press statea that a special committee has been appointed to work out the details of a central scheme for the organlza* tion of the Turkish food supply, and especially of the grain harvest, the gov ernment having recently set aside a sum of ?30,000,000 for the establish ment of the department.
