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

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. ?

CLOCK lu tiE DEPENDED ON
i ?
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

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. Municipal
authorities have already received in

them distributed to the population in
