A Woodland Crop That May Be culti'
waited With Little Trouble.
Speaking of plants that may be cul-
tivated with little trouble and with
profit to the grower, a writer in
Green's Fruit Grower advises those
who have a bit of unused woodland or
underbrush to plant golden seal. he
considers 1t one of the most remuner-
alive of plants to raise and says that
It requires very little care.
The roots OF this plant sold fifteen
years ago at 30 cents a pound. The
price has steadily advanced. The root
Is now worth $3.50 a pound, and the
dry leaves and stems now sell for 70
cents a pound. 1t is o of the most
widely used drugs known to the mod
ern pharmacopoeia.
At the end OF three years you can
sort out the mature roots from the
young ones and wash and dry them
for sale, while you put the young roots
back In the ground. At the end OF
the three years the grower has a year
ly crop of roots. and, beginning with
the first year. he has a yearly crop OF
leaves and stems. This Is one OF the
crops on which there is an absolute
certainty of a market that will run
after you as soon as any golden seal
buyer knows you have the goods to
sell. Go and ask your druggist or your
doctor about the value of golden seal.

POISON TO BABIES BUENz is GUILTY /
Mother Feeds Rough on Rats
to Two Little Ones.
No Money for Food, Woman
Buys Death for Infants.

Camden. N. J., Dec s.-Mrs. Mabel
Fields, "a, today confessed, according
to the police, that she deliberately
poisoned her two babies Thanksgiving
day because she had no food for the
little ones and no money with which
to buy it.
With her last fifteen cents, accord
ing to the police, she bought rough
on rats" and mixed it with the babies
oatmeal. They were rushed to the
Cooper hospital, but despite the physi-
clans efforts both died.
Mrs. Fields attempted to kill her
self by the same method. She hovered
between life and death for several
days, and it was not until she fully
recovered and had been removed to
the county Jail that she learned the
babies were dead.
"Oh! God help mel" she cried,
when a murder charge was read to
her. THE nurses told me the babies
were all right"
Mrs Fields tainted. For several
days she has been under the care Of
physicians and before the grand jury
meets December IA to consider her
case, she will be examined by sanity
experts.
Camden women today planned Il
dete rnlined fight to save Mrs. Fields
from conviction on a murder charge.
The defense, it was reported, will be
based on the plea of alleged illireat-
menr 10y her husband which drove the
young wife insane after the birth Ct
her second child.
Mrs. Fields told the police that she
was deserted by her husband on the
birth of her first child. She appealed
to the overSeer of the poor who
caused Fields arrest. The husband
was ordered to pay her So a week and
she went to the home of her parents.
Birth of the second child and worry
over the fact that she had no money
to buy the babies the proper food IS
said to have temporarily deranged
Mrs. Fields mind. She poisoned the
two infants, Frank. age fourteen
and Mabel, age three months,
in her mothers absence
George Fields, the husband, denied
to the police that he had neglected
his wife. He will be a witness before
the grand Jury.

in return for aid against the Anglo
