MARKS OF DANGER
Certain characteristics Distin-
guish Poisonous Mushrooms.
Edible Varieties May Be Easily ldentl-
fled With Exercise Of q Little
Care, Says Agricultural
Expert.

Every year there are few cases
of mushroom poisoning. In some In
stances the individual Is only made
sick, while In other cases the results
are fatal.
1t Is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used t6alis-
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some eases spAfies
that may be harmless for. one tndlJid-
ual may cause serious digestiyeslis-
turbances in another. There H. Hpw-
ever one group Of mushrooms thas is
deadly poisonous. This Is. the group
of Amanitas, says w. W.. Robbins Of
the Colorado Agricultural college.
There are number Of species Of
Amanita, all Of which are deadly pois-
onous. The deadly Amanitas have
white gills, a ring about the stem just
beneath the cap, and a cup or scales
at the base of the stem.
Do not place any reliance in the
many popular and traditional tests of
poisonous or edible qualities. These
tests are entirely worthless. The dis
coloratlon Of silver spoon; sinking
In water; or brilliant cOlOration-are
no indication of either poisonous or
edible qualities. Furthermore, the
notion that poisonous mushrooms can
be rendered harmless by boiling in
water and then washing thoroughly in
cold water Is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
a few edible kinds of mushrooms.
There are many Of these springing up
In our lawns dooryards and along
fences. One may feel absolutely safe
In using all those mushrooms having
black gills which dissolve with age
into an lnky mass. These, of course,
must be eaten before turning black,
but usually several stages of ripening
will be found in the same clump or
group of individuals, so that identif-
cation can be made. Among these
black gill species are the SHAGGY
mane," with n more or less bell-shaped,
creamy-white cap which becomes shag-
gy, and the "inky-cap," growing In
dense clusters. These two are both
common in lawns, gardens, etc, from
spring to autumn and are among the
best of our edible forms. All Of the
puff-balls are edible, and excellent If
eaten when the flesh Is white and
solid.
Mushrooms are sometimes soon at
tackled by worms, and in gathering
those which have perhaps stood long
er than the others 1t Is we'll to break
off the caps and note whether the
worms have worked their way up
through the stalk into the cap.
The deadly mushrooms are those
which possess the following three char
acteristics: U white gills; (2)
ring on the stem just beneath the cap;
and (3) q cup or scales at the base Of
the stem.

San Francisco, Jan. 20.-President

sistant District Attorney Edward A.
Cunha charged here on Thursday.
Beginning his address Cunha out
lined the history of the bomb explosion
here last July in which ten persons lost
their lives.
II will prove" said Cunha, out of
court, prior to opening argument in the
Mooney trial, that Mooney and Berk-
man belonged to an organization
known as The Blasters.' The purpose
Of the organization was to Overturn the
government and stop preparedness at
any cost"
Cunha quoted an article in Berk.
mans paper, the Blast:
I'VE want to warn the weathercock
In the White House that it may not
prove safe. Suppression of the voice
OF discomfort leads to assassination"
"Vide Russia" read the article writ
ten March 4, 1916. in protest of alleged
federal suppression of free speech In

Mooney declared preparedness must

WOULD STOP UNEMPLOYMENT
Commissioner General Of immigration
Plans National Cooperative Sys-
tenn to Solve Big Problem.

Efforts to settle for. all time the
questions of unemployment in the
United States and the lack of skilled
workers are being continued by An
thony Caminetti, Uncle Sans commits
sioner general of immigration, who is
in charge of the employment bureau Of
the department of labor, by trying to
bring about national cooperative sys-
TEN of employment. He would also
give industrial education to poor chill
dren at the expense of the national or
state government, as the case may be.
In addition to the cooperation of the
and that of many woman's Organiza-
tions, efforts will be made to >get the
great national organizations of men in
tereSted.
The idea is to establish a federated
committee in each town or community
where there is branch office of the
departments employment bureau. This
committee is to be composed of repre-
sentatives of organizations there to dis
tribute information as to where there
are openings for employment and
where people to file them may be
found. These federated committees
are to be supplied with the bulletins
now being issued by the employment
bureau. The committees are to send
in opportunities" to be published in
the bulletins.
With the aid of all these organiza-
tions and the federal committees,
Commissioner Caminetti hopes to bring
about general move for practical
industrial training in all the schools of
the country.

BRING DEAD TO LIFE
Coast Guards Save Many Who
Apparently Are Drowned
No Branch Of Uncle Sans Service Has
Greater Diversity Of Activities
Work Covers Big Area.

The work of Cncle Sans coast
guard is always interesting. No
branch of the federal service can re-
port a greater diversity of activities,
and each year adds to the constantly
growing panoramic stirring events on
the sea, which seemingly are endless
in their possibilities. The scenes Of
rescue work included the vicinities Of
all stations and the cruising districts
of the cutters, embracing as they do,
the Atlantic and gulf coasts within the
continental limits of the United States,
the waters of the great lakes, the Pa
citic coast, including Alaskan waters,
and the waters surrounding the out
lying possessions of Hawaii and Porto
Rico.
In addition to their work of protect
ing commerce and navigation along
our shores, the units of the coast guard
are frequently called upon to assist
bathers and swimmers and others
whose lives are imperiled in the water.
Often in cases of this kind the persons
taken in hand by the corps are in a
serious condition, and in some in
stances apparently drowned. Nearly
always painstaking and intelligent at
tentiOn is required to bring them safely
around and prevent Ill after-effects.
The treatment administered in this re-
suscitating work is based upon Scien-
titic principles and its efficacy has been
established in practice extending over
u long period of years. In all cases OF
apparent drowning, even though the
patient has been under water for as
long as 30 minutes, the corps Is ex-
pected to subject the patient to the
prescribed manipulation long enough
to revive him or to afford positive and
convincing evidence that life Is eX-
tinct. Instances have occurred, Off
cials of the guard say, in which by
such indefatigable effort persons have
been restored after physicians in at
tendance have pronounced them dead.
During the past fiscal year % cases
of resuscitation and attempted resus-
citation by the service crews were re-
ported, in which the patients had been
in the water either helpless or uncOn'
Scious for periods varying from a few
minutes to as long as % minutes.
In 13 of the % cases the work of
the corps was reported as successful.
In ten of these 13 cases artificial res
piratiOn was employed for periods va
rying from few minutes to an hour
and fifteen minutes, while in the three
other cases friction Of body and limbs
was sufficient to effect restoration
Five of the 13 persons revived were
apparently dead when the corps took
charge of them; they had been under
water for periods varying from one to
seven minutes, and the work of resto,
ration required periods varying from
five minutes to an hour and fifteen
| minutes,

More Stock in Eorests

There were 133,442 more cattle and
horses, and 6O5.33S more sheep and
goats using the national forests in 1916
than in 1915, This increase was in
spite of large eliminatiOns of grazing
lands from the forests. 1t is account
ed for by improved methods of hand
ling the stock and by more intimate
knowledge of the forage on the ranges
