At the tea table, centred with,
an artistic floral arrangement,

ing her ,beautiful antique silver
tea service which attracted con-
siderable attention.
This service,, purchased by Mrs.
Hall at small antique shop in
Paris in 1928 when she resided in.
France, has a most interesting
history. It. goes back to the days';
of the American Civil War, 1861-5.

The Alabama Controversy,'
So bitter grew the contioversy,'
that even though Lord John'Rus

neutral the'situation became ser-,
ious Repeated protests otter the
losses were made by the U.S. Am-

that 'The Alabama", had never

a Commission with representatives
from Great Britain and the U.S.A.
and Sir John A. Macdonald, Prime
Minister of Canada, met it Wash-
ington, to iron out this and other
differences, and signed on May 8,
1871, what became known as the
Treaty of Washington. Tier Ma-
jesty's Government agreed to
arbitration over the matter of
"The Alabama". losses and one
article of the Treaty sets forth
the conditions. There were to be
five ar itrators, one appointed by
the President of the U.S.A., one 11

To the many thousands of suf-
ferers from ragweed hay Fever in
Ontario,' there are really only two
things which can give uniform re-
lief—complete eradication of rag-
weed, or removal of the sufferers
to areas free of ragweed. The
first , is progressing, but is far
from accomplishment. The second
presents something impossible to
most people who, annually, go
through the hay fever season in
states ranging from `mildly irrit-
ated" to "insufferable living."
In years past, much has been
written about hay fever, its
causes, its reliefs and its cures.
However, no one suggestion seems
to fill the bill—that is; apply to
all cases equally well. Annual in-
jections have helped many, in
varying degrees. Masks and In-
halers have helped some but most
hay fever sufferers would rather
bear the tribulations of their al-
lergy than put up with the dis-
comfort ofwearing masks or in-
halers.
Sprays help temporarily in some
cases but seem to aggravate oth'-
ers. Drugs have been used suc-
cessfully in many cases to afford
temporary relief, but in most in-
stances the effectiveness of thcse
drugs is greatly lessened as the
sufferers' systems become accust-
omed to them.
Diet, exercise and rest all have
come into the picture through var-
ious advocates of relief or cure for
hay fever. High protein diets have
proved effective in some eases..
In the selection of homes, bay
fever sufferers should try and
choose locations distant from
weed -infested areas 'The ° pollen
of summer hay fever weeds, ordin-
arily, does not travel very far, and
a mile is usually a safe distance.
The pollen of the ragweeds and
other fall hay fever weeds, how-
ever, is very . buoyant, and in
windy weather may travel three
to five miles.
What can be done about it?
Here are a few hints to sufferers
suggested by the Departments of
Health and Agriculture for On-
tario.
1. Go to a safe haven .from Hay
Fever. Hay Fever sufferers can
vacation almost anywhere in
Northern Ontario, including
most of Haliburton, Muskoka,
Parry Sound and north thereof.
Complete relief can be obtained
by most sufferers in Northern
Ontario, To be doubly safe sel-
ect a place well removed from
the main highway or close to
extensive farming areas.
2. Pull or destroy all Ragweed in
the immediate neighbourhood.
Urge local municipal authorities
to spray or cut Ragweed. Or-
ganize citizens' committees tor
local Ragweed control drives.
Report neglected infestations.
3.,If business or other obligations
will not allow for a vacation in
the North then there are one or
two self helps which will bring
some measure of relief. Any air
cooling or ventilating system
where the outside air is drawn
in through a filter, or cleaner
will reduce the pollen count In
the house very materially,
4. Another simple method is to
keep one room in the house
tightly closed all day. During
this time any pollen in the room
will settle and the Hay Fever
sufferer can get some measure
of relief during the evening and
often a eomfortabie 'mght's
sleep.
Hay Fever is no respector of
' persons although first attacks
more frequently occur ill persons
between 20 and 30 years of age.
The average victim suffers from
six to eight weeks. Usually the
Hay Fever, season is over on the.
arrival of the first frost. .An at-
tack begins like that of a common
cold with sneezing, itching, red-
ness and puffiness of the eyelids
and watery discharges from the
eyes and nose. The irritation int-
erferes with rest. Most so-called
remedies provide very temporary
relief.
