HOW TO KNOW POISON IVY.

Hints ON Detecting the Plant and
Curing It's Poisonous Effects,
Poison Ivy grows wild throughout the
whole land. It's leaves are in threes,
smooth and shining on both surfaces,
with margins which may be toothed or
even. There are flowers In May and
June and fruit in the autumn-a
smooth, white, wax-like berry, says the
Boston Traveller
The poison is a nonyolatile oil found
in all parts of the plant. When 1t
touches the skin of a susceptible per
son 1t produces an eruption of an cry.
sipelas-like nature. In severe cases the
point affected frequently becomes irri-
tated year after year
A person Is particularly susceptible
to the poison in warm weather, when
the blood is heated and the skin pores
are open. 1t is, however, dangerous at
all seasons, and some Of the worst
cases of poisoning have occurred In the
winter, when woodchoppers have been
perspiring freely and have worked
amid the ivy vines.
To relieve the Inflammation and dry
up the pustules powdered sugar of lead
dissolved Ia alcohol is highly recon-
mended Tincture of grindelia diluted
with three times its bulk of water and
applied two or three times an hour will
check the spread Of the eruption. A
solution of one part of hyposulphite Of
soda to three of water applied con-
stantly to the affected place is a good
remedy.
A doctor who has been poisoned
about eighty times says the poisonous
principle is a fixed oil soluble in alco-
hol and which is precipitated by lead
subacetate; hence the use of lead salts
In Inflammation of the skin resulting
from the action of the poison ivy oil is
rational, but the precipitated lead COM
pound must be removed from the skin,
as it is gradually decomposed and the
oil set free again to continue its irri-
tant action.
The use of soap and water and a
good hand brush Is the simplest way
of getting rid of the oil. The action is
mechanical and perfectly efficient. AL
cohol in full strength dissolves and re-
moves the oil, but does not neutralize
it. Care should be taken lest the al
cohol with oil in solution flows over a
part as yet unaffected as it may cause
further eruption. The use of ointments
and fatty substances is wrong, as they
serve to spread the irritant oil of the
poison. Clothing that may have been
in contact with the plants will retain
and transmit the irritating quality. A
doctor says he has been poisoned by a
pair of shoes worn while collecting Ivy
plants the previous year.
The Ivy plant is usually a climbing
or trailing shrub, but sometimes as
sumes an erect habit of growth. On
the seashore along the Atlantic coast it
| sometimes covers hundreds of acres on
islands and spreads over large areas.
The trunk is buried out of sight below
the surface and the branches rise erect
out Of the sand like separate plants In
such forms of ivy growth the poisonous
properties do not seem to be so power
full and active.
1t is not generally known that If
boiling water is poured on the plant
the vapors are often poisonous, and
that the smoke from a bonfire Of ivy
brush is as dangerous to inhale as the
breeze which blows of the vines in
/ June.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAY USE SANTA #
 TRACKS

\ story Is going the rounds given 'Tedcnce by some, secuted by others, 'ha' the southern Pacific will be com. p'lled very soon to run it's passenger trains to New Orleans by way of the santa Fe tracks from San Bcrnardino through to Ash Fork, Arizona, where They will cross over the Santa Fe, Pres colt and Phoenix to the Southern Pa 'lhe main line at Maricopa--a possl' blllty suggested by the continued ris- 'ng of the Salton Sea.
 The statement is further made thar 'he Southern Pacific officials have been looking to the future, and that if becomes impossible to stop the en- 'roachments of the sea, that pcrma' nent linc in some other direction will oe necessary. Tn that case they have been figuring on using the Santa Fe mo jointly, with that road through the 'alon, and out as far as Bagdad, and From there over the new California 'utof, which the Santa Fe now has under construction to . point in Ariz' ona inst north of Phoenix. From this po'nt 1t would be very easy to get to Their main line by way of Maricopa.
 l' is said the mileage of this line would be longer than the present, but no' great deal, and that 1t would 'olyo the question of a through route when the sea cuts oif the present line' which 1t is sure to do soon unless the How of the water is stopped.
