FROM HER ALLIES
1t Is Necessary, Says Food
Administrator

CONGRESS IS
URGED TO ACT
In the Interests of Provid-

Washington, June S.--Congress mus
4. protect the American food supply from
her allies. With this warning from
both President Wilson and Herbert
Hoover, new food administrator, lead
ers of both parties turned to the food
problem again yesterday as the most
pressing difficulty ahead of the nation.
| England's clamors for more food are
growing louder, while the prices in this
country climb higher and the labor man
demands for governmental action to re.
duce the high cost of foodstuffs become
more insistent.
President Wilson has told Republicans
and Democrats that ample powers must
be given the food commission department
or the allies will be coming to this coun-
try bidding for American food and hoist
ing prices out of sight.
Mr.. Hoover says adequate machinery
must be set up quickly--at once-to see
that American markets are not raided
and prices forced to point of embar
rassment to the American people.
I'VE must" he says, protect ourselves
from our allies in order to protect our
own people and at the same time do all
justice by the allies and all the service
for them that we can
Both the president and Mr. Hoover
insist that the power of absolute ~.
QUESTION must be behind the food de-
partment.
Pressing demands from the allies for
everything the United States can fur
nish, coupled with urgent appeals from
the people of this country for legislation
on the food question, is squirting action
on the bill. The House agriculture COM
mittee in the interests of speed has
struck out OF its bill certain features
that would stimulate long debate on the
measure-the authority to fix maximum
in prices and to standardize certain
foodstuffs.
MIR. Hoover himself would not attempt
to do any fixing except as last resort
to preserve the country's food supply.
He believes, however, minimum prices
might serve to stimulate production, and
to fix minimum prices will be
left in the measure when it is reported
out OF committee to the floor Of the |
House early next week.
Already unrest at the food situation
Is beginning to be felt in Congress. Sen
ators and representatives are receiving |
thousands of letters from workingmen |
stating that their salaries are increas-
ng less than one-third as rapidly as the |
,rices in necessaries, while the govern. |
nent is making greater and greater de-
hands upon them.
let the government see that food is
put under control" is the tenor of all
etters.
AT the same time the allies are be-
coming somewhat FESTIVE over delay in
Congress to get the food control depart
nent into action. Speeches in Parlia-
nent indicate that England will count
heavily on exports from this country,
,ut these cannot be available until the
ontrol department has been set up and
provided for conserving the

more poisonous then than later in the
season. Occasionally stock finds the
roots when they are washed out by high
water in small streams. Farmers in their
| blowing sometimes bring to the surface a
considerable number of roots and these
are eaten by cattle, with resulting sick
ness and DEATH
In cases OF the poisoning of human be-
| ings the recognized treatment is to give
an efficient emetic, followed by cathar-
tic. Some form of opium may be given
to control the commissions when they are
violent. If free vomiting is promptly
produced the patient is likely to recover.
1t is obvious that ruminant animals
cannot be treated in this way for the
effective clearing of the stomach is inn
possible. While hypodermic injections of
morphine may be used to aid in control
ling the commissions and purgative may
help in eliminating the poison, ordinarily
the commissions are so violent that moth
ing can be done for the animal.
So far as livestock are concerned, about
all that can be done must be in the way
of prevention. If the land is plowed
where the plant grows, care should be
taken that no roots are left where stock
can get at them. Where the plants grow
in great abundance, as they frequently
do along irrigating bitches, it is desirable
to dig them out. When this is done the
roots should not be left on the surface,
but should be destroyed. 1t is seldom
that stock are poisoned when grazing,
unless they Craze along the bitches,
where the plants sometimes grow almost
in the water with very little soil and can
easily be pulled up.
Perhaps there is no way to prevent
some cases of poisoning OF children.
Something might be accomplished, how
ever, if parents and teachers would at
tempt to make clear to children the
danger of eating strange roots.

LOOK OUT FOR THIS
POISONOUS PLANT!
Cicuta, Widely Distributed, Is Sometimes
Fatal to Man and Domestic
Animals.

| Many deaths, both of human beings
and domestic animals, are caused every
year by cicuta, or water hemlock, a
| poisonous plant. 1t is the most violently
poisonous of temperate region plants, yet
| 1t is not generally recognized. Learn to
know it and look out for It'll A warning
has just been issued by specialists of the
y. s. department of agriculture in the
form OF a circular from the bureau of
animal industry, "Cicuta water Hem
lock- as Poisonous Plant" which de-
scribes this plant and gives remedies,
though cases among domestic animals
must be considered as practically hope
less 50 far as treatment rs concerned
Cicuta is widely distributed. Unfor
tunately, it resembles number OF harm
less plants and is not easily recognize
able. 1t belongs to the same family as
carrots and parsnips. 1t has number
of popular names, of which the most
common is ''cowbane,' or water hem
lock" In the mountain regions of the
West it is frequently called "parsnip" or
wild parsnip." Other names. less com
mon, are "snakeroot,' "snakeweed,'
beaver poison" "muskrat weed" spot
ted hemloek" and spotted parsley"
The plant grows in wet places and is
especially common in some parts of the
West along irrigating bitches. 1t has a
thiekened rootstoek with roots which
sometimes take the form of group of
tubers The cicuts is most readily dis
tinguished from plants of similar APP
pearance growing under the same condi-
tons by the transverse chambers in the
rootstock. These can be seen by making
a longitudinal section. Further descrip-
tion, except by botanical terms, is diff
cult, but the circular mentioned presents
that make recognition
easier
Only the root Of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases of poisoning are more frequent in
the spring, partly because the roots are
more likely TO be noticed at that time
and partly because they appear to be

A VIRGINIA MONUMENT.
Erected for Ex- Confederates on Field of
Gettysburg.

Gettysburg, Pa, June Son the tiele
of Gettysburg was assembled to-day q
remnant of the army of the Confed
eracy, gathered here again and probably
for the last time to witness the unwilling
of the memorial which the state of Vir
ginia has erected to it's sons who took
part in the famous battle.

ing over the monument to the United
States government and it was to be &C
cepted on behalf of the government by
Secretary of War Baker or his assistant
if the secretary himself was unable to be
present.
The ceremonies were to be simple, be-
ing opened about 2 o'clock with prayer
by Rev. James Power Smith, once aide to
"Stonewal' jackson and last survivor of
the staff of that great warrior.
An unusually large gathering of Con-
federate veterans for the occasion was
made possible by the fact that the vet
Grams were holding their annual reunion
this week in Washington, only five hours
away.
The monument, which is of heroic
size, is surmounted by a statue of Cen
eral Robert E. Lee mounted on Traveller,
his famous war horse. About the base
there is a group OF seven figures repre-
senting all arms of the Confederate serv-
ice. There are two boys, one bugler of
artillery and the other cavalry color
bearer carrying the state flag of Virginia.
One figure represents farmer fighting
side by side with one whose expression

business man. Beside an artilleryman
with long hair, aquiline features and
negligee appearance, stands a stalwart
mechanic, his musket firmly gripped to
repel and attack. On the mechanics
right stands man erect biting off the
end of a cartridge, suggesting a type
found among the professions, perhaps a
doctor Scattered about the ground are
shattered cannon, a broken wheel, a dis
carded knapsack, hat, a swab and an
exploded shell, indicating that the spot
had been the scene of some desperate
engagement.
F. William Sievers of Richmond is the
sculptor who designed the monument. 1t
was his aim to produce military memo |
rial which would differ from the conven |
tional figures of soldiers grouped about a
pedestal.
The Virginia commission in charge of
the work includes Governor Stuart, Col |
onel w. Gordon McCabe of Richmond, |
Colonel Thomas Smith of Warrenton, |
Major H. A. Edmondson of Houston and |
Captain Stesphen p. Read of Palmer |
