WHY:
So Many People Are Killed by
Mushrooms.

Numerous fatal poisonings from eat.
Ing mushrooms reported in the news
this summer were not due 10 mush-
rooms at all, says the American For
estry association of Washington. The
association says the greatest care
should be taken Id selecting this ar.
ticle OF food. In an article In the
American Forestry Magazine attention
is called TO statement by Prof. Louis
.. c. krieger, who said:
ITO ask person to gather his own
mushrooms for the table without pre-
yious instruction that viii enable him
TO avoid the deadly kinds, is equiva-
lent tn, II not worse than inviting him
TO put his unprotected hand into 6
den Of rattlesnakes. Indeed, of the
two risky performances. the latter
would be the safer; for there are a,
least two known antldotes for rattle
snake venom, whereas there is none
for the poison or poisons of The 'ex-
ceedfugly common Amanita nhalloIdcs
and its multitudlnous forms and vari-
eties."
On the same subject Or. r. w. Shu.
feldt, c. NJ. Y. s., writes in American
Forestry:
Every word OF this can be indorsed
and inasmuch as the poisonous spe
cies Of mushrooms met with are uu-
merous, and often closely resemble
some OF the harmless ones, one should
be as certain of diagnosis of harm

from white, or arsenic from gunpow-
der.

our mushrooms stand among the most
delightful foods known; and when the
