The Queen won the hearts of all with her pleasing smile and ious manner, The sincere wish Canadians is that she has many, more happy birthdays. # S-' :.k WISH HIM WELL Regardless of the political views, there is no doubt but that the unani­ mous wish of the people of Canada is that Hon. Charles Dunning, Canadian •Finance Minister, will be restored to good health during his rest in the Old Land. For twenty-five years |Mr.' Dunning has been in political life and. the straii\ of his. arduous duties told on him despite the fact that he is but 54 years of age. Mr. Dunning is an English boy who came to Canada and settled in the West. Fie was but a por lad who had plenty of energy and ability.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM The rush to Delhi in Simcoe Coun­ ty of unemployed is proof that if there is work to be had the great majority of unemployed are ready to roll up their sleeves. The reason that the dis­ trict was swamped with people is ob­ vious - they thought they could get a job in the tobacco fields. , The unemployment problem is still • a serious one — one that the govern­ ment should tackle without further de­ lap. If people have a sincere desire to work for a living and cannot pro­ cure gainful employment, there is bound to be an accounting, It may be one thing or another but it surely gives the “isms” a fine chance to in­ crease their membership and that is one thing that will ruin Canada quick­ er than anything else. * tk * * HAPPY BIRTHDAY When the Queen had a birthday' last year we in Canada noted the fact and were most anxious to add to the! heap of greetings, she received onr tri-1 bute.

HAY FEVER Hay fever is caused by the irritation to the mucous membrane of the nose and throat from the pollen or dust of plants and grasses by persons sensi­ tive to such irritation. The offending plants are trees, grasses and' weeds, and the particular offender in a given case may be recognized by skin tests. Pollen or dust, to be effective in causing hay fever in sensitive persons must contain an- excitant to. this con­ dition; it ..must Be capable- of being carried by winds and for considerable distances; the source must be abund­ ant and the plants widely distributed. rwmraEM the the the the In. the- early spring, trees carry causative- pollens. Then come grasses,, say about June, and then weeds in Autumn. On the American Continent wind-pollinated trees are those carry­ ing catkins, such as the poplar, oak1, bfrch,. walnut,. beach, hazel and alder. Others are- the- maple,, ash, hackberry, sycamore and; mulberry. The willow pollen is the- only one of these not carried by winds. Trees producing­ perfect flowers, such as the elm and mesquite, are- also- wind-pollinated On the Western prairies,, the poplar is the chief offender among trees and tim­ othy is the worst of the grasses. , Dr. Heber C‘. Jamieson, of Edmon­ ton, writing in- the Canadian Medical Association Journal, defines the three hay-fever areas of the province of Al­ berta. One of these stretches from the Red Deer River to the northern boundary. * A second comprises the J cases, southern section of this region with its upper limit the Peace River coun­ try, while the third extends from the ; Red Deer south to the international boundaup-.

Weeds are the chief causes of au­ tumn hay fever. These comprise the rag-weed family and the thistle fam­ ily. The effects of these are found from July onwards. Golden rod, pop­ ularly supposed to excite hay fever, has been practically exonerated. The sufferer from hay fever sees the first signs in what appears to be a violent cdld in the head which may be associated with asthma. There are attacks of sneezing, eyes itch, head­ ache and lassitude. Old persons practically exempt. Prevention of .the condition is important point. To discover cause, skin tests are done on the suf- erer using- suspected dusts and< pol­ lens. The cause having been found a vaccine is prepared from the offend­ ing substances.
