Indian Trail Trees Subject for Next Carden Center TaIk "Indian., Trait Trees" is the subject on which Mrs.. R. R. Dnn of Waukegan is to speak at theInîeeting of the, North Siiore Garden center.at. 10:30 Monday nîorniing, July 22, at the headquarters ini Winnetk om- nî.unity Houise. The. Waukegan Garden -clùb lias arranged .al JUl1y programus at the center. Monday of this week the audience. enjoyed, a most .int.erestinig address on the subject "To Bieathe or flot to Breathe," by Dr.,Frank B. Kirby, di- rector, of education of the Abbott laboratories. His- subject had to do with the',well known summer disease called bay fever.. Dr. Kirby'brought out the fact that,.' ôtd as it inay seem, "bay fever" seldomn bas any fever, and it is seldom caused by hay. It was shoWn that, while there are * estimated 2000,000 patients suffering from bay fev.er. every. year, few, of *them know what' is, the cause, and,. wbile most of it resuits- from ragweed pollen.. few know what 'a ragweed looks like. It was hard to. bçlieve that some 1,000,000 tons of ragweed polleni are poured into the air every season. Thev say Chicago bolds the record at thirty tons as against New York City at ten to~ns. The speaker1 referred to the 40,000 acres of vacant property iii *and about Chicago bearing ragweed and other hav fever weeds as a par- tial, explanatioii. .Whereas astbma bas been known for* 2,000. years,- %this disease is rela- tively new. Perhaps it shbild, be shown as only tecently recognized, said Dr. Kirby. In fact. the first reference to the condition dates back only to 156 5 and the first injection in the modern treatment was given as recently aq 1910.
