John Baber, of Browndale, Wayne
county, had his hands and feet Sc
verely frost bitten, Friday evening at
about eight o'clock, while on his way
home from Forest City. Attention
was called to Baber's plight by his
cries for help, which were heard by
the granddaughter of Robert Rails
ton, who lives on Higgins alley. The
child had been out of doors for
few minutes and when she re-entered
the house, informed her grandpar-
ent that she had heard the calls from
the culm dump, which is but a short
distance from the house. Mr.. Rails
ton investigated and found Baber al
most helpless, his whole body numb
ed and unable to help himself. Mr..
Ralston secured aid and helped the
stricken man to the Office of DR..
Lloyd. Baber suffered severely from
the treatment which removed the
frost from his hands and feet. Had
he remained on the culm dump with
out help another half hour, he would
have frozen to death.-Forest City

Teaching Cattle to Avoid Poison.

The experiences of Walter Larden
on the pampas of Argentina indicates
that the avoidance of poisonous herbs
is not, as has sometimes been
thought. an instinct born in animals.
There is a poisonous weed on the
pampas called romerilla, which the
native-born cattle and sheep have
learned to avoid, but imported cattle
and horses have to be taught not to
eat it. That is done by tying them
fast and then burning heaps of the
weed to the windward of them. The
smell of the smoke breeds in them so
great dislike that they do not
touch the green weed afterward
