At the present time the line of the city's property leaves Summer street on an angle so that some of the city's property is di- rectly in front of Mrs, Hulrs house. lnasmuch as the city acquired this land by condemnation proceedings, the point was raised as to whether the city had the right \to sell any part of it. Judge Peck was of the opinion that the dity had the right, lnasmuch as 1t had not been using the property in question for school purposes, but 1t had been used by Mrs. Hull as driveway to the rear o finer property.
 He offered the city $500 for the small triangular strip of about 20 feet frontage, provided warrantee deed was given and S250 provided a quit claim deed was given. After a discussion lasting nearly a half an hour, the matter was referred to the miscellaneous matters committee.

says in "The Book of Camping and
Woodcraft":
A specific for poison Ivy or poison
sumac is tincture of grindelia. have
cured cases two or three days old,
where both eyes were swollen shut and
other parts correspondingly affected.
SO it is evident that tincture of grin
della will cure some cases, and bad
cases at that. have never used it and
have never seen it used.
What Mr.. Hansen says about the Sc
robustness of ivy poisoning Is gospel
truth. A bad case is not only the acme
of discomfort, but is dangerous to life.
The old-timers knew that as well as
anyone and cast about in all directions
for remedies. Alder bark, chewed up,
was one of the old remedies. A strong
I've made from wood ashes was an
other. Salt and water was still an
other. Old-timers often made concoc-
ton of the green bark of witchhazel
and applied it as hot as 1t could be
borne Others made a decoction of
sassafras root.
1t was not long ago that the lead
remedy was pretty generally used. The
camper who wished to be armed
against poison ivy usually took with
him some powdered sugar of lead
dead acetate) and some weak alcohol
$50 to IS per cent?. Then, if someone
became affected, the process was this
Add the powdered lead to the alcohol
until no more will dissolve. Strain
the solution. Wash the infected parts
several times day with It.
Nowadays, however, soda is the
main reliance of the camper. This
soda must be cooking soda (bicar-
bonate) and not washing soda Gear
bonate). When case of ivy poisoning
turns up, the main thing is to get at it
quickly. A thorough washing of the
infected parts is the first stage of the
treatment. Kitchen soap Is better than
toilet soap for this purpose, as Mr..
Hansen says. One w0odsman will APP
ply the soda dry. Another will mix
the soda with water. A third will dis
solve lot Of the soda in hot water
and let it cool. Cooling precipitates
the excess soda and the liquor is
saturated solution. 1t is probably true
that prompt application of soda will
check most cases at the start. The
treatment Of poison sumac cases is
the same.
An experienced woodsman will see
that the victim does not spread the
infection by scratching, even IL he
has to tie the sufferers arms at night.
The best rule of al as to poison ivy
is this: Leaves three, let 1t be!'
