POISON IVY.

The outdoor season is here and PEG
pie are seeking the parks, the wood.
and fields for fresh air, rest and pleas
ure. The Department Of Health be
lieves in the outdoor life and urges
every one who can, to get out of doors
as much as possible. 1t often hap
pens, however that people on their
picnic or outing excursions are pois-
oned by q plant known as poison ivy.
This plant grows in all sorts of places:
in vacant city lots, along country
roads, in the woods and even in the
sand near the lake. Many people in
and around Chicago are poisoned by
coming in contact with it because they
are ignorant of its poisonous charse-
ter.
Poison ivy may be easily recognized.
Its leaves are always grouped in
threes. It is sometimes called the
three lesved ivy. Early in the Spring
the leaves are tinged with red: in
Summer they are q rich, glossy green
and again in the FAN they turn a beau
tiful scarlet. This is why many per-
sons especially children, being at
traeted by the beauty of the plants,
gather them to take home and are
badly poisoned.
The poison is found in all parts of
the plant; the stems, leaves, roots and
berries being equally dangerous. The
poisonous element in the plant is q
heavy, gummy oil, that adheres to the
skin of the person handling it. If you
find you have handled poison ivy, and
the sooner you discover it, the better,
wash al the exposed parts thoroughly
with soap and warm water. Soap cuts
