that he is registered on or before Sept. 7

State Pomologist DR.. j. II. Funk has

AT this season of the year, when poi
soning from poison ivy is so often suf-
fered by campers and pedestrians in vi
entities where this weed grows, sugges-
ton of remedy made by Field and
Stream, an outing magazine, is quite

ure ofgfndella, which can be procured at
any drug store. The affected parts should
be anointed with the tincture, which, it
is said, will stop the intolerable itching
and cause speedy cure.
