lock. 1t is known botanically as
cicuta maculata.
1t is not the hemlock which
was used in ancient Greece and
Rome to put criminals to death.
This was probably Conium. Cicuta
was confused with Conium in the
United States until 1881, when
it was definitely distinguished by
konrad Gesner.
The water hemlock is often
wrongly called parsnip or wild
parsnip, and also cowbane, death
of man, snake weed and wild
carrot. It lives among swamps
and is often found in wild
meadows and along irrigating
bitches.
Water hemlock, we are assured
by Gompertz journal American
Medical Association annually
causes many deaths among both
men and animals. It grows in
wet places in nearly all parts of
the United States. 1t has
a jointed, smooth, hollow,
green stem, from three to six
feet high, and bears rather large
leaves divided several times and
very narrow and finely toothed
along the margin. 1t grows a
tinv CrpaniSh.whifa f1ovap ar
ranged in dense compound clus-
terS, mostly at the top Of the
branches. The root has a char
acteristic bunch of spindle-shaped
bulbs, which gives out yellowish
gummy secretion, similar to that
OF the garden parsnip, somewhat
sweetish and not disagreeable
enough to prevent children and
even adults from eating quanti-
ties sufficient to be fatal. Water
hemlock is different from harden
parsnip, which has yellowish flow
ers, q broader leaflet, single
root without a cluster and a
rough skin, and which does not
necessarily grow in wet places.
The poisonous component Of
this plant is a resin which has
been given the name cicutoxin.
The roots are the most virulent
parts of cicuta, but any part of
the whole plant can cause death
when eaten. Cicuta is most pois-
onous in the spring, possibly be.

in winter. 1t is, nevertheless,
highly poisonous at all times.

when it comes to marriage we
expect to swap candy-hearts for
eternity. And IL we can't, we
feel cheated, and want to go off
and get drunk or shave career"
or get divorce. 1t never occurs
to us that marriage is more,
much more, than a question of
our individual thrills and vibra-
tons.
Bertrand Russell, England's IA.
NOUS philosopher, analyses us
wisely. He says that we have
built our marriages around the
idea of romantic love instead OF
the idea of children, and are suf-
fering because we had tried to
cheat our own natures. Mature
men and women were not made
for endless love-making. They
were made to work and bear
babies and carry on the human
race. But instead we try to
carry on individual romance.
'"The bond Of marriage should
be more paternal than sexual"
says Mr.. Russell. Romantic love
is q very valuable element but
not the one about which the
household should be built. Ro-
mantle love is a beautiful cpl
sode, but when 1t is over divorce

What's the Matter With

TNHE thing that a man misses
\ most, after marriage. is ADJ
VENTURE!
There Is a spirit Of adventure,
which turks in every human
soul-especially in every mas.
culine soul. It is not the fear
Of being wrecked on the stormy
sea of matrimony which terrifies
a bachelor. but the deadly fear
of being becalmed.
When a man unties himself
from all the rest of the women
in the world in order to tie him
self up to ONE woman. it Is
usually his last adventure!
Never again can he wake up
in the morning feeling that a
brand new experience or a brand
new thrill is waiting for him
just around the corner.
There are moments when every
one of us would like to buy a
ticket for Nowhere; or Just to
take a train and hop off at an
the end of the rainbow. YOU
know that restless feeling. The
Wanderlust.
But we make q hitching-post
of marriage by surrounding it
with hundred strict and rigor.

another woman. He must tell
you just where he's been and
just where he's going. He must
EXPLAIN everything, account
for everything, time everything!
He must tell you how he got
the spots on his vest, why he

he ate for dinner, and Just how
many cocktails he took. Even
