Sometimes abnormal conditions of the lining membrane of the nose, defects in the structure of the nose, and infections, seem to be to blame. Some of the people affected are the victims of an unhealthynerâ€" vous tendency (neurosis). Often the susceptibility seems to be present Without any discoverable cause. '_\\’Iiiatc\'er the cause of suscepti- bility may be, an abnormal sensi- tiveness to certain grasses, pollens and proteins is the exciting cause of the attack. _ The first thing to do in seeking to avoid your annual attack of this annoying disease is to find out if you have any abnormal conditions «if the nose. If any such abnormal- ities exist, and seem to be capable of making the lining membrane of the nose sensitive to the action of pollen. they should be remedied if possible. The next step is to find out just what, brings on the attack in your particular case. This is done by testing yell to determine to what {teamâ€"V‘s, "pollensor proteins you are abnormaly sensntive. The tests are made by applying extracts of these lo Danger L. R. inquires: “Is there any dan- ger in being vaccinated if you have recently had an Opeartion for ap- pendicitis?” Kidney Stone H. R. M. writes: “I get attacks of colic in one side which the doctor says is caused by stone in the kid- ney. The pain is terrible when I get the attacks. What can I do for the colic when I get it? Is there anything I can do or anything I can take to keep from getting stones?” Reply llot baths or hot applications ap- plied over the loin on the side where you have the pain will sometimes help to overcome the attack. Drink- ing hot lemonade or hot water con- taining baking soda may ‘help. AL __A l' III-sufâ€" li‘vnnuug If you pass any stones. have them examined in order to find out what they are composed of. When you know the composition of the stones. you are better able to select. a diet which may tend to lessen their form- ation. Regardless of what kind of stones you have. you should drink large quantities of water. If the stoncs are composed of uric acid. avoiding meats and living on a dict consisting of fruits and vege- tables may help. If the stones are composccl of oxalatc. avoid foods that contain oxalic acid. Oxalic acid foods are cocoa, rhubarb. spinach. lwans. beet root. figs and curt-ants. Tea and coffee are probably among tho things that should be avoided. The plate glass window in Dr. Gil- lies‘ drug store was completely de- molished last Saturday night just at closing time.

The accident happened as Mr. Louis McDonald was driving down the street with a horse he reeently purehased. and as the horse slipped on the pavement. the lines were drawn tight to prevent the an- imal from falling. and one of them broke. with the consequence that the horse was drawn towards the side- walk, and as it. stepped on the side- PLATE GLASS WINDOW SMASHED N0.

SCHOLES Reply THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR substances to the skin in very much the same way as one is vaccinated. Unusual sensitiveness is shown by a slight irritation occurring within a few minutes where the offending substance was applied. After you have found out what causes your hay fever, you can either avoid that particular thing or you can be treated so as to les- sen your sensitiveness to it. The treatment consists of a series of in- jections of the pollen in order to ov- ercome your sensitiveness to its ac- tion. As it takes some little time for this treatment to be completed, it should begin from fourtosix weeks before the expected attack. While not always successful, it often gives relief for one season. sometimes two. An thing that promises relief is us- ualy welcomed by the hay fever victim. ‘not Contagious Mrs. S.

Hahn. Diversity of Opinion In making our rounds, we werel not, successful in interviewing all{ the business men, some being out of‘ their places of business when we called, while some others were out of town. Others would make no preference. Mr. S. P. Saunders was one of these, saying that he had no doubt the oil was the better of the two if applied right, but it certainâ€" ly could not be denied that the oil had not had a fair try-out in the time it had been used here. Mr. Robert Burnett would make no choice, finally stating that it was all the same to him whether they kept the dust down or not. He ydidn’t care. Mr. A. Noble, who is also a mem- ber of the Council, said that his preference was far calcium chloride and that he was not in favor of either of the others, but of the two he would prefer the water. Mr. J. A. McLachlan stated that he, too, thought it might be well to try the calcium chlori’,de but would prefer the oil ahead of the water, as we had tried the latter for several years and it had proven anything but sat- isfactory. Mr. E. Kress favored the oil it ity were applied correctly, but had his name registered in the “wa- ter” column, as he had no wish to go back to the conditions of last yeai. S. McBeth of the Central Drug Store had no choice. He was of the opinion that neither the water nor the oil was of any use. E. J. Schenk was not in when we called, but Mr. E. D. McClocklin thought it might be better to have the dust nuisance fought with the water this year, spend the summer in getting the 103d in shape and then put the 011 on prOperly next year. He thought there was no use in putting the oil on the streets in their present condition. Mr. J. H. Harding favored the oil or calcium chloride, but un- der no circumstances the water. His claim that the water would form puddles in the road that would be scooped out by passing cars, leav- ing them in bad condition, is worth considering. The last man to be interviewed was Mr. H. J. Snell, who favored the oil, providing it could .be applied in a proper manner. He was not in favor of the water. and being the proprietor of the local waterworks system. his reasoning must be a big factor in deciding the method to be pursued. Mr. Snell claims, and rightly too, that the present water system cannot take. care of his cus- tomers and at the same time supply. water for the watering of the streets. While he erected a stand- pipe on Garafraxa Street this Spring from which the water wagon is filled. he said he had agreed to do so only until the Council had time to do something. He was not, pre- pared to furnish water necessary for ‘this new service. His customers all along the line on which the stand- pipe was ererted were his first con- lSltlt‘l‘fltitflll and that under the pres- ieut conditions. there was not. suf-, tlrient water for both. W'hen the water cart was filling. his customers went dry. the water pressure not be- ing sufficient. to force the water in- to the lower floors of buildings. let alone the upper. In his statement. he gave us to understand that he was not prepared to supply water for street watering purposes. .Business Men‘neavily Taxed Now Not Sufficient Water ehants generally take the View that m the majorit of cases, they are paying the hul of the town's taxes, and besides their places of business, also p31 tageg oh pxjivatemresidenees on residential streets. The claim, too that the front street oes not belong to them, that, it is used by the whole population, and that Durham as a town is big enough and rich enough and should have enough civic pride to co-operatively see to it that their main street presents a prOper appearance and is a pleasing sight to visitors coming to town‘ or to tourists passing through. Sev- . era], in fact the majority, have said *that they will not contribute one cent toward the watering or oiling of the street, as they consider that they are already taxed heavily enough without the addition ofa special assessment, the benefit of which will be enjoyed by all resi- dents of the town as well as by themselves. Every business man in town is paying a business tax in adâ€" dition to his regular taxes, and re- gardless of whether or not he owns the building he does business in, the taxes are taken care of in the rent he is asked to pay. As a sequel to the above, in con- versation with Councillor Bell yes- terday, we learn Reeve Calder was not authorized by the Council to even suggest that the business men on the front street contribute to- wards a special fund for street wa- terin this year. The opinion of the uncil was merely that the oil system was unsatisfactory and that the Council this year would ‘water the streets instead, paying for the service out of the general rate levied on the town. INSPECTOR AND IAGISTRATE INVOLVED IN SERIOUS CHARGES Mayor Cooper of Ieeford Chergee Irregulerities in Letter to Depart- mentâ€"Alleged Thet Report of Evidence Was Tempered With.â€" Inepector Beckett Demend’e Copy so! Mayor Cooper's Letter. On Friday, March 25, Angus Tuohy, who up to within a short time of that date had been the pro- prietor of the Queen’s hotel in Mea- t‘ord, was convicted before Magis- trate Creasor in the Owen Sound poli'ce court of illegally selling li- quor in his hotel at Meaford, fined $200 and costs and sent to jail tor a period of three months. The evi- dance on which Tuohv was convict- ed was given principally by two spe- cial detectives in the employ of the License Department at Toronto, Bradbury and Coughlan, who told of going into the hotel on a certain date with Robert Clark of Meaford and of purchasing two drinks of whisky. The. defence was that it ‘was t no ordinary two and a half per cent beer that was sold on this occasion. but a bottle was produced by the detectives which they swore 'I‘uohy tilled up from the. same bot- tle from which he. had served them, and it contained whisky. " vvâ€"u‘. "W’hen Tuoln \xent t0 nail for this Offence against the Ontaiio Temper- ance Act, it, was thought, that would be the end of the case, but it apâ€" pears there is an aftermath, and be- tore the matter is finally disposed of, there may he an interesting court action. It is alleged that Mayor 1‘. N. Cooper of Meatord took up the eudgels on behalf of 'l‘uohy, and wrote a letter to the License De- partment of Toronto in which it is alleged that he makes some very serious charges against Magistrate Creasor and License Inspector Matt C. Beckett, in which it is intimated that their methods of administering justice are not all that they should be, and makes some specific state:- ménts re rding both officials, and also invo ves the stenOgrapher who also invol'ves tfi'e stenographer' who took down the evidence in the case. In conservation with The Owen Sound Sun-Times on Monday, In- spector Beckett stated that he was determined to exhaust all legal means in order to obtain a certified cop of the letter sent to the De- par ent by Mayor Cooper. “You. can say for me that Matt Beckett has not the slightest intention of allowâ€" ing the matter to drop. In the state- ments which Mr. Cooper is credited with making in his letter to the Li- cense Department are true, then Matt Beckett has no right to be serving the puhlic in an capacity, and I think I have a rig t to know what the letter contains,” said the inspector. It is understood that one of the‘ allegations made against the In- spector is that he (Inspector Beck- ett) bribed the stenographer to tamper with the evidence when transcribing it, or in some manner interfering with the evidence be- ing transcribed as it was given. Mr. Beckett not only considers this a serious charge against himself, but that it is also a serious charge against the young lady who took down the evidence, and it is his intention to go the limit in order to secure a copy of the letter. All that he has at the present time is acme extract from the letter. ”but these are very unsatisfactory. A week ago today, Inspector Beckett wrote to Chairman Hales of the Lt- cense Board requesting that he he sent a certified copy of the letter, but up to the present. he has re- ceived no reply, although he has re- ceived replies to other letters sent to the Board, and today he forwards another letter making a further re- quest for a certified mm of the letter. Should the request of the Inspect- or for a cop yot‘ the letter be denied him by Chairman Hales he stated that it “as his intention to place the matter at once in the hands of his solicitor, and take he necessary legal action to force the issue. “I am going to make Mayor Coop er or Meaford prove the statements he makes in the letter which I under- stand he wrote to the License Board, and I will put him into the witness box in order to do it," said Inspect»- or BecketL who is \ery much wrought up mer the mat.,ter and some interesting dex elopments may be expected.
