"The best method of eradicating hay fever is by the cultivation of neglected grounds, but where this is not feasible thc dangerous weeds should be up rooted or cut dawn before the flower ing stage. This prevents the formation of thc pollen and tho production of seeds. "Hay fever Is a preycntablo disease, and united action on the part of the public to rid this city of noxious weeds will greatly assist In eliminating it."

Six yearn ago, after an nrctie voyage In his ship, the Teddy Bear, Captain Bernard visited Philadelphia and sold his ethnological collection to John Wanamnkcr. In 101B he obtained In struction In scientific collecting nt the university Museum nnd sailed again for the northlnnd In 1010. The letter is Important because it in dicates that for thc first time a region hitherto unknown save In 'the baldest deatlls is likely to bocome scientifically understood. Stcfaneso'n spent some time In part of thc region, but his writings disclose mat nn lld not penetrate nearly so far ns has Captain Bernard. The letter of Captnln Bernard is here given Just as writttn, but ns he is a French Canadian thc spelling will be excused : "Having a opportunity to despatch mail to thc States, the first in three years, I thought I would write you a few words. We got froze fn nt Taylor Island, Victoria Land, in August. 1017. nnd wns unnble to irce thc schooner till September 1010. It wns very desert land to stay so long. Games were scarce and no natives within n hundred mile so w; did not fare so good.

Those na tive differ much from the Coronation Gulf nnd Victoria Land people.

We now have a very large collec tion of curios gathered from Dolphin nnd I'nlon Strait to King William's Land." A royal Northwest mounted police man who had gone to thc region to ar rest an Ecklmo accused of murder brought out thc letter. Captain Bernard expected to reach Nome. Alaska, last August, but or no word has been received from him, save the one letter, it ls possible that for thc fourth winter he has been imnris- ! oned In the ice. V fi '- 'r (,' EXPLORER OBTAINS.

But we are passing up a- legitimate opportunity to make a great deal more than we are selling them for. The facts are these. The suits in this event came to us at a tremendous concession. They were scheduled for regular $60 and $65 lines. But quick action at the psychological moment enabled us to cut the cost almost in two. And now similar action will enable you to do likewise. If you don't want them at $35, you can wait and later on pay $60 and $65 for suits of similar quality. It's up to you.

" "1 - mm Ten Thousand Churcjioo Report Incroase of 34,000, In tho Last Year FINANCIAL REPORT GIVEN Ten thousand Presbyterian cburchea throughout the country report a' net increase of 34,000 communicants for thc last year, as compared with the de crease of nearly 20,000 reported bytli churches one yenr ago. These figures arc from thc stated' clerk's annual statistics and were announced yesterday by the Rev. Wil liam Pugb, who has been nt work the last few months upon the records in the office of tho late Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts in thc Wlthcrspoon Build-' Ing. It Is the largest increase of member ship reported since 1017, which marked tho beginning of the great slump ta membership reported by all denomina tions during the wnr period. The Presbyterian Sunday schools hart an enrollment of 1,351,260, as com pared with 1,310,410 last year. The whole number of communicant Is 1.037,105. Presbyterian contributions also madu a big forward Jump in the year, the total being $43,071,072, whereas the sum of $32,804,708 wns reported in 1010. Much credit for this must be given, to the New Era propaganda which bas sought to increase thc interest of church members in all lines ot cnurch activity. Upward of $3,200,000 was given for home missions, an Increase of about $1,000,000 over last year Foreign missions received upward of $3,500, 000, or an increase of SI, 500,000. Con tributions for cducntion Jumped from $230,000 last year to $1,009,000; Sun day school work from $230,000 to' $410,000: church erection from $179, 000 to $354,000: relief and sustenta-' tlon from $200,000 to $580.000. , and frecdmen from $200,000 to $200,000. Only in temperance work was there a decline in contributions, probably" because most persons bellevcdthat with the coming of prohibition the church's activities along that line would be less pressing. Whereas $234,000 was given by thc Presbyterian churches to tem peranee in 1010. there was only $220. 000 given in 1020. ' For congregational expenses, the Presbyterians gave $25,700,000 this year, as against $21,097,000 last year. The Presbyterian Church in the Lnited States has 0700 churches, 0024 minlsttrs. 44,025 ciders. 17,178 dea cons. 4050 manses, 40 synods and 288 presbyteries. sTIIIIIIIIII ft 4 & aUllllHlllfis V SHnW R R MAINS '"ti , V .",r.l 7 i ii; i. i. . , l w-l 1 a SI M; vl I .).W?Wkk,. t j2&j.: iilfc&fi
