John Howard, colored, a iieensed atreet peddler, started In Tuesday morning to rid the city hall of all asthma and hay fever. Noticing the painters and decorators wen presenting the interior of the municipal building with fresh color and hearing that the administration was trimming down the running expenses of the city, Mr. Howard thought the psychological moment for of fering hie panacea for asthma and hay fever had arrived. Consequently he ap peared at t'ae city hall front door Tuesday morning like a new Moae In the wilder ness, knocked on the door and was ad mitted by Superintendent Rowden. Explaining hi method and medicine, Mr. Howard said he searched men, not with X-ray tools nor for their valuables, but with an all-seeing scientific eye. He said he had been on speaking terms with asthma and hay fever for four years and had a medicine which would drive those ailments out faster than a cat sliding down a steep Un roof. The little forethought which Mr. Howard offered In City Clerk Butler's office, while he opened up his line of goods on the coun ter, was thla wise: "The hay fever am the antu-pasm at I the nerves and brain, a tickling at de roof ob de mouth, creating In de upper nostrils a tightening across de bridge of de nose and an Itching and burning sensation in d eyes.
