right now It Is not unlikely tree
fever: that is. If you will waive
the objection to calling your trou
ble fever that's another odd thing
about this alleged hay fever It la
neither hay nor fever, in the ma
jority of cases. In fact, if a vie-,
tint of hay fever actually does de
velop any fever, that is, elevation
of body temperature above the nor
mal, he 4uis probably got some
complication and he ought tq con
sult a doctor regardless of the con
dition of the hay crop.
Prom the last of February to the
end of May is the pollinating sea
son for trees, and the pollen of a'
number of treeB or shrubs causes
trouble for sensitized persons.
Among tho varieties commonly
found responsible, by skin scratch
test, are Cottonwood, oak, white
ash, winged elm, red maple, black
willow, swamp poplar black, wut
nut aspen, white elm.
Of course there are other pollens
than tree pollens in the air in
April and May, but where tlio In-
dividual s season commences bright
and early in March he may reason
ably suspect the trees of the vi
cinity are responsible.
Prom one to two per cent of the
entire population have pollinosls.
being subject to the disorder is no
index of an Individual's intellectual
or social superiority; it 1b Just evi
dence that he happens to be sensl
tlzed to the pollen in question. How
or why he has become so sensl
tlzed is a little myBtery we are
not yet prepared to elucidate, but,
like the police searching for the
lierpetrator of a crime, we are fol
lowing-up clues and we are con
fident we will discover something
soon. ; .
PolloiiB vary as widely in char
acter and appearance under the
mlcroscoiie, as pineapples do from
apples. - Some, pollen grains ' are
smooth and rounded and . these
usually cause no trcible; other
plants give off pollen grains that
resemble burrs and these are often
resnonsible for the trouble. ' :
Pollen is, borne by the wind. Vjf
a sensitized Individual could screea
or filler all the air he .breatHoi,
Ijlirough a filter , fine eJiouIV to
separate out the pollen grains, ho
would havo no "bay fever" or polli
nosls. If he can run away to a
region where the plant responsible
for his trouble does not grow, he
will escape the attack. There is
little pollen left In the air after a
rainfall, and sufferers from polli
nosls usually experience a period
of comparative rellof after a good
shower. Victims of this disease
commonly find they rest more com
fortably with - windows closed, to
exclude the air and the pollen it
contains. . - . ,,-.-, . '
Probably most victims of polli
nosls got their annual attacks lats
in the summer or in the early;
autumn. They are prone to blame
gohlenrod for it, because golden-
rod happens to bo in blossom Just
then. Unldenrod seldom causes
I rouble; the familiar ragweed in
the usual cause of polllnosls so
attributed to goldenrod.
If your trouble begins in March
or April, you may suspect the trees,
but not every case of persistent
rhinitis 1h of thte nature, and only
the specirtc. skin scratch testa ap
plied by the physician, or a regular
annual recurrence at the same sea
son and an equally regular annual
cessation of the attack when the
pollinating season Is ovor, will con
firm the suspicion In any case.

Are You Run Down,
Weak, Nervous?
To have plenty of firm flesh and
the ability to do a big day's work
and feel "like a two-year old" at
night, you must eat three good
meals a day, relish your food and
properly digest it. ' If you can't
eat, can't sleep, can't work, just .
take a teaspoonful of lanlac bo
fore meals. , ' ' - - . . '
Mrs. Fred Westin, of 387 E. 67th
St North, Portland, Ore., says:
"Tanlac cured my stomach trouble ,
completely after three- years suf- -ferine.
It built me up to perfect .
health, with, a train of 27 lbs. That
was two years ago, and I still en
joy the best of health." '
' Tanlac is wonderful for indiges
tion and constipation gas, pains,
nausea, dizziness and headaches. It
brings ' back lost appetite, helps
you digest your food, and . gain
strength and weight. It contains
no mineral drugs; it is made of
roots, barks and herbs, nature's
own medicines for the sick. The
cost is less than 2 cents a dose. Get
a bottle from your druggist. Your
money back if it doesn't, help.
