Some thirty-eight years ago a llttlo group of roeo ooJders" got together In the parlors of tho hotel in Bethle hem (perhaps the most widely known of tho "exempt" spots) and organized the United States Hay Pover associa tion.

Many clergymen who had boon in tho habit of punctuating their oormoos with no sal explosions promptly sen In their namos. Among tho clerical socrults were rionry Ward Boechcr and Dr. Partridge, who for many pears served in an official capacity. Convention Yearly. Every year a convention was held at Bothlohein, and reports were read of tike progress made and suggestions presented by members. Hundreds of reputed remedies were investigated nnd found to bo totally worthless as hay fever euros.
