DEADLY WILD FLOWERS.
Many That Are Well Known Contain
Dangerous Poisons.

Ii is rather alarming to realize that
a number of the wild flowers of which
we are all so fond contain deadly poi
sons, according to an Article in the
September issue of Boys Life, the boy
scout magazine.
The daifcdi is an instance in point.
It's long narrow leaves contain pow
erful irritant poison, and children
should be warned most strongly
against chewing them.
The common foxglove contains poi
son which has the most extraordinary
effect upon the heart, whose action may
be reduced to only seventeen beats to
the minute. OF any one thus poisoned,
the pupils of the eyes are widely dilat-
ed, and his only chance of life is to lie
absolutely still until the doctor comes.
Everyone knows the wild arum or
cuckoo plant, with its big heart shaped
glossy leaves. A most dangerous plant
it is too. If You chew leaf your
tongue swells enormously; so much so
that you will be almost unable to swal
low Melted butter is the best remedy
for poisoning by this plant.
The most dangerous of all common
bridegroom plants is the aeonite, or
monk hood, which has palm shaped
leaves A very small dose causes a
strange tingling all over the body, and
partial blindness. A little more and
death is certain.
These are all plants which are more
or less attractive to the eve. There
are others which seem to advertise
themselves as dangerous. The hem
lock, for instance. If you pinch leaf
it gives out nas4y, mousy odor One
need hardly to state that it is very
poisonous, being a powerful narcotic.
The sufferer sinks into drowsy state,
which, il remedies are not at hand,
ends in death.
All the magistrates have "A sinister
appearance and should be avoided al
together There are also many COM
mon shrubs, the leaves of which, if eat
en-. produce unpleasant results. Among
these are the common privet, the elder,
holly and laburnum.
Quite number of plants are pos
sessed of short hairs on their stems or
leaves, which will cause a rash to break
out upon sensitive skins One such is
the Primula obeonia, which is one Of
the commonest pot plants in green.
houses or on window sills.
Many who work in Conservatives or
glass houses often find that hyacinths
cause severe eye trouble The idea is
that the pollen is the irritating cause.

VERMONT TEACHERS LOYAL
Declared Commissioner Hillegas in Re-
Spouse to Query.

Are Vermont Teachers Loyal?" was
the question directed at Commissioner
OF Education DR., NJ. B. Hillegas after
his brief talk TO the members of the
United America" movement in Bur
lington last week.
His reply was interesting and doubt
dispelling in its instruction. Vermont
is singularly free at the present time"
he said, from any indication of rad
icalism or disafTection among it's teach
ing forces, although in other states the
situation is not so heartening."
There Is creeping into the public
schools OF the country, everywhere, an
insdlous propaganda that will have its
effect upon the coming generations and
the organization perfected last week
will do much to offset this, according to
the noted educator
THE teachers are wondering and
struggling with the present day prob
lens just as everyone else is and they
need someone or some group of right
thinking, sound minded persons to in
terpret for them the vital issues of the
present day. With an organization
that is purely American and patriotic
to which they may turn, the problem
of our teachers becoming disaffected
will solve itself and in the proper man
ner," is the belief Of the commissioner.
If you intend to devote any space
to this subject he told reporter,
Il wish you to emphasize the loyalty
OF the Vermont teachers and, as an
example, | will relate the story of one
teacher who has come back to Vermont
within the past few weeks, an example
that is multiplied many times and will
demonstrate to the public just what
our teachers are doing for the state
"A teacher who was drawing 81 100
year was offered position in another
state paying several hundred dollars
more year and after due consideration
accepted it. She was supervisor of the
biology department and had four teach
ers in her care.
"She had not been out of the state
many weeks when she wrote that she
was thoroughly sick of the conditions
under which she was working and
wanted TO return to Vermont.
"At that time there was but one
place open to her and that paid 5000 a
year and within few days, she had
accepted this school and is now back in
this state teaching at smaller salary
than when she left
This is case typical of the condi-
tions here and shows the loyalty that
we can expect from our teaching force, 7
was the way the educator summed up
the situation
In view OF the known condition in
some educational eenters of the coun-
try, due to the spread Of radicalism,
the words of DR.. Hillegas are of inter
est, it is believed, to every person in
the state and particularly to those who
have followed the work of the public
schools closely.

What Famous Actors
Do for Their Teeth

No class values appearance so much
as those of the stage and films, and
their teeth come first. They want them
clean and highly polished.
Cecil Lean, who has the most perfect
teeth on the American stage, uses Albo-
don Dental Cream. So do Cleo Mayfeld,
Emmy Wehlen, Mae Murray and the
great Star of the Follies, Eddie Cantor.
They take no chances with potash and
csrbolc acid tooth pastes, with gritty
things that wear away enamel.
Albodon is calcium carbonate, sapon-
flied and mixed with the well known
antiseptic oils of cloves, cinnamon and
eucalyptus, which authorities declare
is the efficient and safe composition for
women and children, and so naturally for
you. 1t is in equal parts cleansing, pol
ishing and antiseptic. A tube contain
ing So brushings is sold everywhere
with the guarantee that Albodon will
satisfy your taste.

THE VALUE OF THE sILo.
1t Can Be Utilized at Ali Stages of the
Year.

The first and most important use of
the sllo IS to store succulent forage for
winter and summer use Some farmers
get large service from their silos by
keeping them employed as storage for
fodder. know of cases where the silo
has been filled in the fall with corn. fed
out during the late fall and early win
ter months, and filled in January with
stocked corn with water added This. if
properly made from good fodder, pro.
duces an excellent silage and very
much better results can be obtained
than feeding the fodder dry. An early
planting of oats and peas in March
or early April will mature good crop
in June. which can again be put in the
silo and fed out during July and Au-
gust when pastures are poor and feed
scarce. In this way it is possible to
use in q practical and economic way
the silo three times a year Few farm
ers or stockkeepers aim TO put all their
corn in the silo. This means that
large amount of corn stalks must Ell
Their be left in the field as stalks, or
cut and put in shocks as fodder
The prevailing high prices for hay
demand that fodder should be carefully
saved and it is very practical and wise
policy to cut up the corn in the fall
before 1t becomes dry or frosted and
put in large well built shocks It can
then be fed as fodder, shredded, cut
up or put in The silo.
1t sometimes happens, says A. L.
Haecwer, that silo will not be used for
fodder where herds are sold or stock
disposed of The silo in this case can
be turned to excellent use as stor-
age for grain. Ii is the best kind Of
granary, and many of them are be-
ing used for this purpose. have a
friend who makes il q point to put up
ice in his large silo each spring. He
has two winter silos, feeds out the
large one first and the smaller diam
eter later, then fills the large silo
with ice, which supplies him during
the summer months. By using saw
dust around The edge. the silo will
prove an excellent icehousc
There are many farmers who feed
cattle only when conditions are ia
vorable. The market may favor
their decision in this venture, or
it may be that they have
surplus Of fodder or feed which they
consider can best be marketed through
cattle These men certainly need a
silo or two, even though they may use
them only once in three years. 1t will
give them an opportunity TO save for
age crops which otherwise might be
wasted, and the silo in this case serves

as forage insurance and stands ready
to make feeding operation profitable.
With these many uses the sllo
should be considered as one of the most
important equipments on the farm, and
for the stock farmer; he should build
it as he builds his h2rn, Several years
ago the statement was made that a
silo was needed wherever corn crib
was found, but present-day experience
has proven that silo IL often needed
where corn crib is not. There are
large sections in the northern states
where corn seldom natures, but the
silo is depended upon to harvest the
crop. These are also cases where the
bulk of the corn raised in communi-
ty goes into the sio. We now say:
