That the Institution Is Not a
Good Place to Be.

Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 6,-Judge Austin
Jr., who sentenced himself for day
in the Toledo workhouse to investi-

a hunted, haunted, mindless being
when again thrown ON his resources
in the world.
Il know that hereafter my sentences
will be more than ever tempered with
mercy" declared the police judge.

Antidote For Poisonous Weed Which Makes
 Cattle Crazy
Ingredients Being Sent To Stockmen All Over
 The County
Frsm Saturdays Dany)


 The agricultural department is now sending out thousands of pamphlets to the eattlemen of Arizona, western Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas telling them now to cure "locoed" cattle.
 Cattle become loeoed by eating the loco weed. They go crazy and meet a slow but aganizing death. After ex. perimenting for years the experts have finally found the trouble.
 The loco weed contains a mineral, "barium," which is poisonous enough to drive cattle crazy.
 Tn experts have finally discovered an antidote for the poison. A bulletin giving the ingredients of the antidote is now going to every cattleman whose name can be secured. Whenever a steer is found suffering vita the loco poisoning all the owner has to do to cure it is to inject a dose of the anti. dote into its system.
 The loss by loco poisoning reaches millions of dollars each year.
