On Saturday tftey went to Sterling, 111., to watch Ted Cartan play in the tennis tournament finals and on Sunday Mrs. Caran and daughter, Diane, went to Wheaton to a family get-together. The Booster family took off last Thursday for the Wisconsin Dells and Myrt tells me the trip was grand and the Indian ceremonies in the evening are. just out of this world and well worth taking the trip to see. I was very glad to see Mrs. Ben Turner back in" circulation after her recent illness. Over the weeljenc^ Mr. and Mrs. C. Wade entertained three ,-qf the ladies who work wfth 'Mrs; Wade in Chicago. They were Adeline Colaro, Lucy Barske and Marge Flesch. Visiting the Paras this past weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Listz and son of Chicago. Marilyn Venable was sorry to see this weekend come due to the fact that it meant going { back to Chicago and back to \>L ~ work after a two-week vacaion. Shef qvys she hates to. leave the peace and quiet of Lakemoor. Don't worry, Marilyn, next weekend will come around sooner than you think.

Mr. Fellows is Rita's brother. Baby Shower Last Thursday evening, a shower was held for the former Jean Milinac, now Mrs. Donald Peterson of Lilymoor. She received many lovely gifts and well wishes from all of her friends. Birthdays It seems as though the majority of Lakemoor folks were born in August, if I am to go by this week's birthday report. On Aug. 8, Mrs. Marge Levand celebrated her birthday with heraunt, Mrs. Daley, from Chicago, her brother and his family, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lamont, of Lake Villa, her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. John Daley, of Lockport, and Mr. and Mrs. Klum of .Chicago.

Jr., and Stewart Claik. A chicken dinner was served and then the parity all went to the Moose Jiall in Woodstock. All I can say is that if the rest of the year will be as gay as the beginning, Harold really has something" to look fonv rd to. Mrs. Tony Leon will celebrate her birthday on the twelfth of August. Happy birthday to all of you and may you have health and good fortune'- in the years to come. --' i ' b <• -S- -H' -M ^ .14 <•'M» HEALTH TALK ***** 4* • { . 4 - f Remembering Once again I will type a couple of articles ^flund in an old copy of the Plaindealer and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do.

Subscribe To The Plaindealer Hot Weather Sufferers There are some eight million persons in the United States to whom tlie hot weather po^fes a real problem and great suffering. These a:e the victims of hay fever and asthma w<ho are subject in their misery of sneezing and wheezing, according, tp the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society in a health talk. What are. the causes of hay fever and asthma? The most important cause in this part of the country is ragweed pollen. Every year, beginning in August and ending in September or October, an estimated quarter of a million tons of ragweed pollen is released into the air. Each individual pollen grain, which is too small to be seen by the naked eye may be carried -by the wind for as much as a few hundred miles. Wren thes£ minute particles come in contact with the nose, eye or lungs of a susceptible person, a reaction sets in. The eyes may water and itch; there is A tickle in the throat and breathing- is difficult. There are other causes of seasonal hay fever and asthma. During the spring the pollen from t^€es^\vill cause trouble for some persons. .A little later grasses rolllriaW. causing other persons tro suffer. This is called rofcefever and is due to grass pollen, not roses. Some persons are allergic tee molds, which are also a source of seasonal allergy. Molds, such as the type seen growing on bread, oranges or preserves, or cheese, have seeds called spores, many of which are smaller than pollen grains and travel long distances in the air. Persons sensitive to these spores suffer just in the way as persons susceptible to the pollens. . To obtain satisfactory relief of the symproms of hay fever and asthma, ' the exact cause or causes mast be determined. This requires a complete review of the patient's history by the physician and a series of laboratory tests to detect the culprit causing the reaction. Skin tests are usually done ai^d these are performed in various ways. For exr ample, a number of superficial scratches may be placed on the arm or back to which are applied the various substances to be tested. Again a watery solution of the substance to be tested may be placed just underneath the skin by an injection. When the test is positive, the area tester becomes red and swollen. Other ways: of testing include placing Page Thirteen the pollen or grain or mold spores iin the eye or nose to see if they actually cause the symptoms complained of. While it is not always possible, economically, to travel to a cold area or one with a high altitude, neither ,1s it practical. Trees, grasses and mold grow all over the world, but, in general, areas with little vegetation, such as high altitudes, have appreciably less of the offending substances in the air. Air conditioning may be effective, provided the pollen is actually filtered out. Thus, when it is impractical to avoid the irritating sources^ the best objective is to builcl up» the body's defenses against them. Good results have been obtained in many susceptible persons by injections of an Immunizing agcnt& which is an extract of th«T offending substance. As the doij age is gradually increased, the body's tolerance increases also. While most persons ' rebound, admittedly the relief is not always complete. , Thus" the person suffering from seasonal hay fever or asthma may also require seasonal treatment. This is to be an appraisal by his physician.

Bap Thomas is our health officer, so he was made ragweed "inspector." "Can't see why anybody should be bothered by a few weeds," he snorted. "I say it's all in their minds." But Hap went on out to do his job. Then, yesterday, I met Hap-- looking kind of sheepish. His eyes were red and as he took out a big handkerchief, he sneezed. "Know somebody who isn't allergic, who'd like a job?" asks Hap. Prom where I sit, I can sympathize with Hap. It's no joke. But as Hfip admitted later, he was dead wrong in scoffing at thfe idea of hay fever. Making light of other people's ideas and opinions is a familiar trouble with a lot of folks. Whether it's hay fever, football or a choice of, say, buttermilk or beer as a thirstquencher, I'm just naturally "allergic" to anybody who "knowsit- all" I Copyright, 1954, United States Brewers Foundation Renew that subscription to th Plaindealer now!
