MEXICAN DIFFICULTIES.

II is evident that the United States
Government sprang great surprise
upon the world when it made the mill
tary move which seems to threaten
Mexico. The reason for that move is
probably still hidden, but the effect of
it is beginning TO appear. Mexico may
have received assurances from Euro
pean powers that her integrity will be
protected and this fact alone is awk-
ward for the United States, for it
makes it appear as though we were
threatening the Government of Mexico,

that there is no such agreement. and

In the meantime, the insurrection-

The only right Office that the United
States could perform in massing her
troops on the border would be to pre-.

insurgents and prevent them getting
their arms. supplies, and recruits from
this side of the line. That is what we,
as neutral power, are obliged to do
and, if the Government at the first had
stated clearly and frankly that that
was the object OF the massing Of the
troops on the Mexican frontier. a great
deal of misapprehension and uneasiness
would have been saved. AS it is. there

SEASON WHEN POISON OAK
FINDS ITS MANY VICTIMS
Saturated Solution Of Acetate of
Lead in Alcohol Recommended
as Specific.

Now Is the season when the small boy
goes barefoot. roams the woods and
comes home with white welts on his
legs. the hands swollen up and his eyes
half closed. Poison oak. There are some
people who are immune to 1t and others
who seem to get poisoned from walking
around the other side Of the block where
1t Is growing. The mere fact that there
are a good many persons susceptible to
1t In this part Of the country and that
the plant is common here makes it a
live subject during the summer time
There are several varieties Of poison
plants In this region Of the country, but
the commonest is poison ivy. more COM
monty known as poison oak. which clings
to many trees in the woods around
Washington. The plant poisons by con-
tact. The juices OF the bruised stems, or
often mere contact with the leaves, will
poison many people. while there are
their hands and suffer no Ill effects.
Some people are immune to the poison
at one time and not at another.
The Department OF Agriculture has
been making q study Of the poison plants
specifics for the particular poison Of the
oak or Ivy that is commonest around
Washington. but the most convenient
thing Is saturated solution OF acetate
OF lead in alcohol. This Is violent
poison II taken internally. and has to
be handled with care where there are
children to get at 1t. But it knocks
out the poison Of the poison oak. A lit
tie is soaked on q rag or raw cotton
and the places bathed with 1t. In the
majority OF cases a few applications are
enough to work q cure. 1t is a con-
venient remedy. and 1t IL q good thing to

trips, especially where there are children
