AN APPEAL FROM OKLAHOMA.


Brothers Of the Alliance In Kansas and

homestead settlers In Oklahoma had no
control and two years Of continued out
lay Of money has entirely exhausted the
resources Of many industrious brothers
in this territory who have their lands
plowed and ready TO plant, but they are
unable TO purchase seed. Many Of these
brothers have been victims of mortgage
indebtedness and lost their homes. They
are now trying TO create in this new ter
rItOy home that will be all their own,
and would rather let their land remain
idle than TO give loan agent lien on
their farms we're Il possible for them TO
do 80. In behalf of these brothers who
are so bravely battling for a home on
Gods green earth, / appeal 20 your gem
erOsity and fraternal love. / have no
doubt that there are many generous
brothers In Kansas and Missouri that will
respond but, what yon send, send at
once, as it will be time to plant by the
time the seed will be received and dis
tributed.

In a recent number of Pharmaceu-

Wisconsin, reviews some cases of
poisoning by the so-callcd wild parsnip,
with the result that in several cases
where poisoning was supposed to have
been due to the wild form Of the COM
mon parsnip (PastjnacG SGti0a) it was
caused by eating the roots of water
pcmlocl1 or spotted cowbane (CicutG

been known as deadly poisonous UNI

very popular belief that common
parsnip in its wild form is poisonous.
Chemical examination made some years
ago by Prof. Power and Mr.. Bennett
failed to show poisonous principle in
the root. Boiled roots fed in consider
able amount to cats showed no i'll eff
