UNCOVERED
San Antonio Woman Tells
of Mysterious Plant
That Kills.

The cause of mysterious deaths OF
prominent people in southern Mexico,
years ago, who passed away in their
sleep suddenly, is now being explain
ed as the existence of a fatal flower,
THE Devils Lily" comes to light.
Conceived in the mounth of Hades.
according to Indian tradition, and
used in parts of Guatemala and Chi
apas, as a means of death to annoying
political masters, wealthy landowners,
and enemies in love. "The DEVILS
Lily" bears in itself both life and
death.
Death il n person breathes Of the
flower, or if it is placed beneath the
pillow of some one asleep-life to the
person thus poisoned. if tea brcwed
of the roots be administered.
SAVED FROM DEATH
Mrs. w. o. Learn, San Antonio
snake dealer, who was poisoned by the
flower and miraculously rescued
through the efforts of an old Indian
woman, tells of the flower.
1t was years ago in Chiapss, she
said. She was then hunting a GER
tain kind Of snake there. She noticed
beautiful flower, a lily near a river
bank one day.
USED BY NATIVES
She pIucked it. 1t exhalcd a won.
derful odor. Placing it to her nose,
she breathed deeply of the poisonous
perfume. and Immediately lost con-
seriousness. An Indian woman, by
good fortune, happened to pass by at
that moment. Quickly, the woman
brewed tea from the roots, and gave it
to Mrs. Learn, saving her life.
No other antidote for the poisonous
flower besides the one mentioned is
known, Mrs. Learn says.
alt is often used by the natives
there to get rid of troublesome persons
in politics by placing the flower under
the pillow of the sleeper" Mrs. Learn
said. at is practically unknown to

KANSAS CITY, No. Nov IL
II Boosters OF the Missouri Val.
Icy conference today are OF the
opinion that several OF the confer

varsities run for their money.
This Missouri valley confidence
in the strength OF its teams, IS
based on comparative dope Of tho

Washington. Coast 1925 champions
Missouri, probable valley cham.
pion. defeated Nebraska 10 G.
Drake. contesting for Valley cham
pionship to the last game. also beat
Nebraska. and the Kansas Aggiss
held the Cornhuskers to a scoreless
tie.
Hence the feeling Missouri, Drake
or the Kansas Aggios could give a
real account OF themselves in any
intersectional games with the Coast.
Whether any Missouri Valley con-
ference team viii be invited TO thu
Coast for the usual post season
games or whether the various fac
ulties would permit such games is
another question.
Last year Missouri journeyed 70
