POISON IVY AND SUMAC.

Poison ivy may appear IN
various forms, but. the three
telltale leaves identify It.
Not all varieties of poison ivy
bear fruit. Those that do have
whitish or cream-colored berries
resembling mistletoe.
Poison sumac, under various
aliases, grows only in swamps
or in wet ground.
Poison sumac has z to Is
leaflets arranged in pairs along
each stalk, with q single ieafiet
at the tip.
Poison sumac 10 often con-
fused with elder, certain kinds
Of ash, and various other shrubs
and trees bearing somewhat
similar foliage.
Its loose, dropping clusters of
flowers, followed Ey smooth
ivory.white fruits; are readily
distinguished from the densely
covered upright terminal spikes
of the harmless sumac.
First aid to poisoned: Wash

forms.
The poison-ivy plant Is also known
as poison oak and by various local
names, such as three-leaved ivy, pol
son creeper, climbing sumac, mark
weed. picry, and mercury. 1t grows
in the form of woody vines, trailing
shrubs, or low, erect bushes and adapts
itself to the greatest variety of condi-
lions, fiourishing in woods or in the
open, In low, moist soil or in dry soil
and on hillsides. 1t Is especially abun-
dant along fence rows and at the
edges Of paths and roadways, scram-
bling over rocks and walls, climbing
posts or trees to considerable heights,
often mixed with other shrubbery In
such a way as to escape notice until
its presence is made known by a case
Of poisoning.
Poison Ivy. or poison oak, is found
in one or more forms In practically
all sections Of the country. In its
various forms the plant is most readily
recognized by Its leaves, which are
always divided into three leaflets, and
by Its whitish waxy fruits, which look
somewhat like mistletoe berries. All
varieties DO not bear fruits. but when
discovered the whitish or cream-col

RADICAL MEXICAN
REVOLT PREDICTED
RETURNING BUSINESS MEN SAY
soLsHEvIsM SPREADING
AlARMINGLY.

New York.-Business men return
ing from Mexico predict the Obregon
government will have TO fight for its
existence within 60 or 80 days. 1t will
be a revolution of the violent Boil
shevist type and the attacks will
come from within, and without. Gen
eral fear is expressed that it will be
of such a nature that the United
States will be forced to intervene for
it's own protection.
Oregon is considered the strongest
man in Mexico and if he calls, the
Mexico is becoming more and more
radical. The reins of power are held
In Mexico City by the extreme radical
party, which dominates Oregon and
whose leaders are Gales, minister OF
the interior, and De La Huerta, for
mer provisional president.
The spread of communism is illus
trated by a law recently passed II
the state of Vera Cruz which re
quires every business man to give the
state half his profits, to be divided
among the workingmen.
"You know how much the working
man GETS" said a Mexican formerl!
active in revolutionary affairs. "Yol
know the game down there wei
enough to know who gets the money.
The business men are fighting thi
law with great vigor. but its passag
shows the trend of the Mexican mind
Obregon is radical enough for al
working purposes. but the extremis
agitators want a Russianized Mexico
They want all capital destroyed @

taken, however; not to spread the poi

The shorter life of man is probably
accounted for by his energetic life.
Women probably marry earlier than
men because their best chance for
marrying is between the ages Of twenty
and twenty-five when they are most at
tractiye. 1t is found that about 80
per cent Of the women marry between
those ages. Men generally marry
when older. The difference In age
averages about three years. That is
why the laws are so arranged that man
becomes Of age at twenty-one and
women at eighteen.
