BEWARE OF POISON BEANS!
STRAY LOT SOMEWHERE in
WEST, DIR. LADD HEARS
Of poisOn beans!

II Beware or poison Deans!
A variety Of beans containing con-
siderable amounts Of cyanogen, one Of
the very deadliest poisons, may be on
sale in some parts of this country,
according to word received by DR.. F..
F. Ladd, state food commissioner.
DR.. Ladd has received sample Of
the beans from the South Dakota ag-
ricultural college, which forwarded
the beans and warning here.
The beans are Of a variety raised in
eastern Asia and the East Indies.
Their admission to European ports
has long been governed by restrictions
specifying the maximum possible cy-
an0gen content.
"These beans can be recognized by
the fact that they are just little
larger than navy bean and are
slightly flattened, like Lima bean,"
said DR.. Ladd last night. "It is only
lately that any attempt has been made
to ship these beans to the United
States and there are no regulations
governing their admission. The United
States bureau Of chemistry found
warrant, however, for holding them
up, but recent shipment got by be-
fore an analysis was made, which
showed them to be dangerous.
The government has been unable
to trace the shipment, but thinks it
went somewhere to the middle west.
The symptoms Of poisoning from these
beans will be the same as from cya-
|nide and physicians will know what
treatment to prescribe"
The poison beans are very late in
maturing and are worthless for any
purpose. besides being highly danger

sensible, as we are living in an age when
youthful appearance is Of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to.use product,
improved by the addition Of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui phur
Compound" for, about so cents bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has. been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is.so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful APP
pearance. It is not intended for the cure.
