B. writes. "What can I <U> to prevent them?” Every year it becomes easier to an swer questions similar to this. Hay fever is of two types—that which comes In the spring and the regular August autumn kind. As a rule spring hay fever is due to grass pollen, while that of the August-autumn type is due in the main to ragweed. A sufferer can discover which pollen causes his trouble by having skin tests made. The pollen vaccines prepared for making these tests are put out by the drug manufacturing concerns, and any physician can get therft. The method of testing is so simple that any physi cian can carry it out. The time to make these tests is now, months in advance of the hay fever sea son. In fact, it is already rather late to begin a campaign to ward off spring hay fever this spring. Having established which pollens are responsible, the next step Is to test to see how sensitive tho patient Is. Testa are made with pollen extracts diluted as little as 1 to 100, with other dilutions of 1 to 100,000, and with still other dilu tions in between. Having determined the smallest dose which will cause a reaction fealment to decrease sensitiveness Is begun. The treatment consists In getting the patient used to this pollen by Injecting him hy podermically with very small doses of It—doses too small to cause any reac tion. If time is pressing the Injections should be given at four day intervals. If there Is plenty of time the interval Bhould be one week. The amount in jected should be increased slightly each week. After mar.y treatments the pa tient becomes so accustomed to pol lens that he no longer reacts to them. If a case comer? on at the hay fever season and has the typical symptoms of hay fever It cAn usually he presumed that the case is one of hay fever and the only testing (hat need be done is for sensitiveness to pollen. The number of hay fever sufferers who chase the climate cure runs into the thousands, the amount of money they spend annually Into the millions.

Men's shoes, showy fashionable shoes, for $1.20 a pair, and a good pair of women's shoes for 30 cents; a good cloak for a man or woman for $1.80, and $3 for one of extra fine material, cut by a fashionable tailor. Twelve and one-half cents for a meal for three children, and two and one-half cents for a meal for an old man. These are some of the prices paid In ancient Athens about the time of De mosthenes, 350 years before Christ. They are given in "Studies in History, Econ omy of Athens,” by George Bancroft, the American historian. He tells us that the whole expense of building was in considerable. The price of houses varied^, from $45 to $1,800, according t<l situation and Quality. The l»*ter price was unttsually high'; half ulc sum would purchase a good duelling house. Under SolgP'^a bushel of wheat was worth Brents, from 390 to 380 years before'Christ it cost about 30 cents, and ill ^Fie age of Demosthenes 60 cents was considered a fair price. It did not cost much for some men to live in those days, even famous men. Socrates, "wisest of mortals," is sup posed to have lived on an Income of $76 a year, but then, the historian tells us, his manner of living was inferior to that of the slaves. His coat was old and shabby and he wore the same gar ment both winter and summer; he went barefoot; his chief food was bread and water; and "as he engaged in no kind of business to mend his estate and in crease his fortune It is not wonderful his wife, the famous antlppe, scolded often.” Of course there is a fly in all this oint ment of ancient low prices. They were exceedingly moderate but so were wages. The great number of slaves who came into competition with the free labor reduced the price exceedingly. Mere manual labor could be procured for 10 cents a day. That seems to have been the lowest rate "and is not lower than the present price of labor In many parts of Europe,” says Bancroft, writing in 1855. What Will Bryan Do? Under the caption, "We Have With Us Again”—! the Omaha World-Herald editorially treats of the election of Wil liam Jennings Bryan as delegate at large to the democratic national convention: On the face and according to the indi cation of partial returns from Tues day’s democratic primary election, W. J. Bryan has won one of the most notable personal triumphs of his long career. The World-Herald is frank to recognize it and to attach proper importance to its significance. Mr. Bryan failed utterly in his effort to induce Nebraska democrats to deny to Senator Hitchcock their indorsement for the presidential nomination. But, in the face of the known fact that tits own candidacy for delegate-at-large was hostile to the democratic national ad ministration, and to the administration's policy on the League of Nations, and In the face of his reputation of the primary law, he has succeeded, apparently. In accomplishing his own election and the election of several if not most of the candidates on his slate for delegates to the national convention. He has pos sibly succeeded, also, in accomplishing the defeat of National Committeeman Mullen, a strong administration sup porter and ono of the ablest national leaders of his party. This means, if the final returns bear out present Indications, that William J. Bryan is commissioned by the democ racy of this state to go to the San Fran cisco convention as a free lance dele gate. with full opportunity to devote his power and talents to either guerilla or open warfare upon the leadership of President Wilson and the policies for which he stands. It means, unless we entirely miss our guess and misread his purposes, that there will be "hell-a-pop ping” at San Francisco with Mr. Bryan the chief fireman and trouble maker. • • • » • • • • And the most significant development of that result Is that the shining dome of Old Doctor Bryan, his face beaming with renewed ambition and strengthened determination, appears once more above the democratic horizon after a long per iod spent in the basement. May a kind heaven have mercy en our beloved but distracted country. Hooked 1 From the Houston Post. "I suppose the big fish got away," sneered the indolent acquaintance. "Of course,” rejoined the true fishes man. "They have learned to know me. Any full grown fish around here hides os soon as I step into a boat" of a hay fever resort is a skin test made on the subject, not on the resort. The question In not whether Jones gets relief at SaltaJ.r, but whether this par ticular Individual will. The only way to know that Is for the person Interested to have himself tested and then to go somewhere where his pet aversion does not abound. Some hay fever subjects develop bron chial asthma toward the latter part of the hay fever season, some still earl ier in the course of the complaint. These cases fall Into two groups. In one group there In so much pollen and the patient is so sensitive that the pollen gets into his tubes and sets up a condi tion there similar to the well known condition in the nose and eyes. There is nothing for persons in this group to do but stay in rooms, the open windows of which are covered by damp cheese cloth, and to wear veils. As soon as the season is over they should begin vaccination, so as to be ready for the next season. The second group develop bronchial asthma, because they are highly sus ceptible to the poisons from certain bronchial tube bacteria, as well as to pollens. Therefore, all hay fever sub jects who are accustomed to develop ing bronchial asthma before the season is over should have skin tests made for j^?cep*Q)iiHy to pollens, and also for —--1—a* . . . -1 -.
