Red Cross of That Country S
Doing Splendid Relief
Work.
CHRISTIANA, Norway, June 28.? ^
Br!' . (Correspondence) ? The Norwegian
Red Cross has extended to the United
B States an invitation to send to Nor- n
way for a "rest cure" any of its si
: nurses and Red Cross workers who si
B: may become ill or worn out in the fi
course of their work in Northern tl
B France. tl
B In Norway any such American con- tl
valescents will be the guests of the a
Norwegian Red Cross, and will be b
sent to the most suitable Norwegian ir
B health resort for a period of six N
B*;,'. weeks or more at its expense. tl
Bjgf V Similar invitations were long ago u
K extended to the European belliger- N
B? ents, although Germany and Russia V
B?y are the only ones who have sent ti
B|r nurses here in response. Germany v
By has thus far sent 500 nurses to Nor- o
way, while 65 Russian nurses are 1,Bp
now here for a month's vacation.
BnL A visit from even a small Araerl- ir
K; can Red Cross unit would be regard- v
K ed as a great event in Norway, which w
Be1; v " regards itself as a little closer to the tl
Bk United States than any other Scan- e
|i| dinavian country. Norwegians fre- si
quently remark that there are more b
Bg(: Norwegians in the United States than tl
Be':. there are in Norway, and that therefore
one country is as much their si
"home land" as the other. u

Hay fever occurring at this season
of the year Is usually called rose fev
ir. (hen
.. CT Or rOBG CUIU. It JS uu umci ciu luun
Ijd; the disease common in the fall month?.
Hay fever is a catarrh of the upper
dr passages. It is due to the action of
the pollen of any one of 25 grasses
and at least seven plants on the mu- ii
coub membrane of the nose and throat g
of some people.
Among the plants causing hay fever
' are yellowdock, cocklebur, careless s
weed and many varieties of grass. 1,
Hay fever plants are numerous, wind
pollinated and their flowers are without
bright colors or pleasant scent. B
The pollen is always found in great
quantities.
Vaccines of various kinds ar used c
to prevent the disease from developlug.
Some of these are made from
; the pollen of the more important plants 8
A chang in climate is often advised. ,
I The control of weeds and grasses
also offers a means of preventing hay
fever. Most cities have ordinances ^
against noxious weeds, but they are
usually not enforced.
Persons susceptible to hay fever ,,
I should not rent or buy property in I
neighborhoods with neglected weeds or
grasses. This action would likely help
correct the neglect They should also *
avoid driving along roads passing J
through sections full of grass and weds .
in bloom, for pollen Is likely to be inhaled
with the dust. r

The Electric Service Company has
secured a contract for the equipping
of the Long Coal Company's mines at <
Rej-noldsville with complete electrical 1
machinery In place of the steam driv- 1
en machinery with which the mine '
was formerly equipped. A high ten- ;
slon cable is being strung from North m
View to Heynoldsville by the Monongehela
Valley Traction Company to
provide the current for the machines
and this Is expected to bo completed
as soon as the equipment is Installed.
Two forty horse power pumps with a
capacity of live thousand gallons a
minute and a fifty horse power elec- .
trie motor together with a substation
to supply power for cutting and hauling
will be installed and the mine
will be one of the best equipped In
this region. This stop was tauon in l
order that the coal, quantities of which t
were formerly consumed In the steam j
plant, might all be marketed. A num- ]
ber of coal companies are introducing <
electrical equipment as a measure of c
economy and by so doing are materially
increasing the output of their <
plants. <
