FRIDAY, AUGUST 12,1949 THE ESCANABA (MICH.) DAILY PRESS PAGE THREE To Quit Feeder Train Stambaugh Officials To Protest Petition Stambaugh city officials, will protest a petition filed recently by the North Western railroad with the Michigan public service commission asking that the passenger train from Iron River to Escanaba, making connections with the at Powers, be discontinued. First notice that the railroad plans to discontinue this service was a letter read last night at a meeting of the city commission. A hearing on the petition will be held Aug. 30 in the court house at Escanaba. Support of business men here and in Iron River will be asked in a general protest to be entered at Escanaba.

The letter said that the railroad has been operating the two trains between Iron River and Escanaba, connecting with the streamliner at Powers, at a loss. The commission said that while the operation of the two trains is unprofitable, the railroad realizes much income in transporting ore from the Iron county mines to Escanaba. Although figures are not available on the ore movement, the commission indicated that income more than offsets any loss the railroad might be incurring on the train.

On the eve ot the annual bout with the ragweed pollen, the doctors in the Allergy Clinic of the University of Michigan Hospital, surveyed the past developments and could find no startling new word for the four fo five million in the United States. They outline three possible ways to get relief: 1. The best method, if possible, is to go to some region where the pollen count is tow or not present.

In Michigan, this would be north of the Bay City-Muskegon line 2. The newly developed antihistamine drugs which counteract the chemical reaction causing hay fever provide symptomatic relief for many, but still must be used with care. 3. Injection under the skin of pollen extracts before the hay fever season will bring protection to many. Ragweed pollen liberates the histamine chemical from body tissues during the allergic reaction, the doctors said.

This chemical attacks the cells lining the nasal sinuses and eyes. This allergic reaction causes violent itching of the nose and ears, irritation of the mouth, watering of the eyes, and sneezing, the doctors explained. The reaction may take place directly on the skin surface if sensitivity to the pollen oil is present, they point out. With the development of the anti-histaminic drugs which m- I hibit. the action of the liberated histamine, it is possible to administer shots in advance of the pollen season which build up the tolerance and de-sensitizes his system to the annoying effects caused by the pollen, according to the University Allergy Clinic staff.

Since the anti-histaminic drugs may produce drowsiness, dizziness. and headaches, care mu.st be taken to avoid use of an improper dose. The doctors warn against driving an automobile or piloting an airplane until it is learned that the drugs are tolerated by the individual user. lassi fled Ads cost little bat da a biff lob Have 4 Camera Fun 0 PCI and IHDOORS LOTS FOR SALE CABIN SITES up at Stevens Lake Area.
