Queen of the Desert

Within the canyons of the desert
mountains are found species of an
nuals. which, because they must have
a greater share Of moisture, do not
venture out on the level desert wastes.
OF these. says Nature Magazine, the
desert satin star is easily the queen.
OF the blazing star family, it upholds
the traditions of that group for dis
tinctive form and attractive qualities.
Its satiny flowers are not equaled in
all the desert fora in exquisite texture
and dainty tinting. Painted canyon
and other gorges in the mountains
north of Mecca. Calf. are its favorite
dwelling places.

Silly Idea That Toad
Is "Ugly and Venomous"

In Shakespeare's "As You Like 1t"
occur the oft-quoted lines: Sweet are
the uses of adversely, which, like the
toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet
a precious jewel in its head" Peo-
pie once believed that so-called toad
stones were formed in the head or
body of toad, and that these stones
more scientifically called bufonites,
because the toad belongs to the genus
bufo-had medicinal properties. A
man would wear a toadstone in ring,
perhaps, and use it to heal poisonous
insect or animal bites, or as an anti
dote for chemical poisons, and so on.
Such was the precious jewel" that
Shakespeare assumed was in the head
Of the ugly and venomous' toad.
Toads are still thought of as ugly,
but most species are now known to
be harmless. Indeed, fluid secreted
by toads may have definite curative
value. The Chinese have used for
centuries kind of dried toad venom"
as medicinal agent. Doctors Jensen
and Chen of Johns Hopkins university
have been investigating this Chinese
remedy and it is reported that its ther-
apeutic properties are by no means
entirely imaginary.
The origin of the word toad" is
unknown. The tadpole-the aquatic
young of the toad-was so named be-
cause it appears to be all head; the
combination of toad and poll (head)
into toad-poll, to use the modern spell
ings, finally developed into the pres
ent form, tadpole. The American toad
has the scientific name of bufo amer
icanus, "bufo" being, as Webster's
New International dictionary points
out, the Latin word for toad.
There are toads in every land on
the earth except Australia and NADIA
gascar. However, toadstones or buff
onites are not formed in the bodies
of any of them. A bufonite, in the
words of Webster's New international,
is fossil consisting of the petrified
teeth and palatal bones'' of certain an
cient fishes, formerly supposed to
have been formed in the head of a
toad"
The largest known species of toad
is called the aqua, name probably
native in origin. Its habitat is South
and Central America and the West
Indies. A length of eight inches is
not uncommon. 1t is reputed to de-
your small birds, field rats and sim
liar animals.

Protect Little Children from
"HarmleSS' Pills.

Among the perils that lie in wait for
small children within the harbor OF
their own homes, headache pills, CATH
artic pills and tonics are among the
most deadly.
Nearly one-hundred children, under
the age of five, die every year in the
United States because someone was
careless with pills: These figures are
secured by the Minnesota State Medi-
cal Association from the limited statis-
tics supplied by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company. Exact figures on
the numbers of these pitiful deaths
are not available because no tabu-
lation is made by the Bureau OF Census
as to the ages or causes, In deaths,
by accidental poisoning. 1t is the be-
lief of the medical committee that
adequate statistics would show twice
that many deaths each year from this
entirely avoidable cause.
Many of these pills that are known
to have produced fatal commissions
were not marked in any way to indi-
cate that they might be dangerous to
children" the bulletin says.
Many were supposedly harmless
cathartics regarded as safe enough to
leave around anywhere.

HOW TO, KEEP WELL

carthartic pills have a small amount OF
strychnine in them and often small
amount of bella donna. There Is
enough of both of them often to send
a baby into fatal convulsionS within an
hour or two if he has managed to get
his hands on the box and swallow a
few.
The pills are pink and sugar coated
or attractively covered with chocolate.
They look and taste like candies. They
go down easily and he seldom chews
on them and SO never discovers the.
bitterness inside"
Many of the unexplained cases of
fatal convulsions are believed, by up
to-date physicians, to have had their
origin in someone's box of So-called
safe pills which no one thought to
investigate before or after the tragedy.
The moral for every. parent and for
every adult who lives in household
with children is this, in the opinion OF
the medical association committee
Never leave drugs or pills of any kind,
no matter how harmless you have sup
posed them to be, where child can
get at them.
Every death by accidental poisoning
of child is an avoidable death. More
information for the public generally
on the dangerous possibilities of $50
called" harmless drugs and more care
on the part of parents will prevent
them.
