Avoid Leaflets Three

"Use your eyes when you go
through the woods. You can recogn-
ize poison ivy by the way its leaves
are divided into threes. If you see
leaflets three; let them be-" sums
IN the answer and advice of DR.. R..
Fl. Riley. Director of the Maryland
State Department of Health to a
question as to how to avoid the
danger of skin poisoning -dermatls
from contact with poison ivy.
.'In this part of the world, poison
ivy is very persistent pest" Dr..
Riley continued. ''You will find the
vine festooned over fences and fence
posts. growing over walls, climbing
up and over tree trunks, scramble
ing along the ground or attaching
itself to underground. 1t is de-
termined and very luxuriant grower.
You can't miss It. But avoid touch
ing it. You can usually distinguish
it from other vines by its three
leaflets. 1t is often entangled with
Virginia creeper or wOodbine. But
the Virginia creeper has five leahets
not three-and is harmless.
1.-THE skin poisoning caused by
poison ivy and by other members OF
the same plant family, is due to
an irritating, resinous substance In
the sap of the plants. Anybody who
has ever suffered an attack ofpo1son-
ing from poison ivy has every rea-
son for remembering to- keep hands
off of it. The slightest brushing OF
the leaves or handling of the plants
will release the poisonous sap. 1t is
deposited on anything that touches
it. not only on the hands and race,
but on clothing, shoes, tools, garden
implements, golf clubs, golf balls,
and the fur of animals. The poison
may even be carried long distances
in the smoke from burning leaves
or stems or roots of the plants in
camp fires and in brush fires.
1.-THE best way to protect yourself
against poison ivy dermatitis is to
avoid touching the plants. II you
happen to come in contact with
poison ivy, the first thing to do is
to lather the hands and other al
fected parts, thoroughly, with suds
from a good alkaline soap-strong,
yellow kitchen soap-rinsing ire
quently in clear water. The abund-
ant soapy lather will help to dis
solve the oily sap, which is not af-
fected by water, alone. But be very
careful in rinsing not to spread the
Irritating poison.
1.-THE poison retains its strength
for long time on objects that have
come in contact with it-even last
ing from one season to another.
Clothing or tools or other objects
that have been contaminated by the
sap or juices from the plants should
be thoroughly scrubbed with soap
suds before they are put away.
Constitutional disturbances, few
er. digestive and kidney complica-
lions may occur in connection with
the skin poisoning produced by
poison ivy and other members Of
that plant family. Accordingly, as
soon as any signs of the poisoning
occur, consult your family doctor.
He will give you detailed directions
as to what you should do"

II appeared before the Commit
tee on Trade Agreements and made
an emphatic protest against this
differential and appealed to them
that Puerto Rico's pineapple in
! dustry be protected in the revi-
sion of the Cuban agreement, but
apparently they were determined
to consider tropical products from
the standpoint of benefiting Cuba.
We don't know yet how this new
pending agreement is coming out,
but we are very fearful it will con-
tain further Determinations again

THE British treaty agreement
lowered the tariff en- coconuts from
$4,000 to $500 a hundred. That
was not a tremendous thing in APP
pearance, but actually it means
that the low-wage regions such as
Jamaica and the Bahamas and all
the competing British islands in
the Caribbean. can send in their
coconuts at a price which the
Puerto Ricans cannot meet.
THE Swiss agreement made a
reduction in needle work which
very seriously injured the needle
work industry. That is more or less
academic now, because the wages
and hours bill has completely
flattened out the needlework in
dustry. But it seems to me rather
tragic that when we were casting
about, making every effort to find
some crop for Puerto Rico that
would not be limited by quota,
such as sugar is, not destroyed by
hurricane. such as coffee, not de-
stroyed by some other factor or by
competition which they could not
meet, such as the citrus-fruit COM
petition of Florida and Texas,
which naturally prevents Puerto
Rico citrus fruits from amounting
to much, with the high cost Of
transportation-we developed pine
apples and found a crop that was
supported and would have increas-
ingly supported great many thou

ruined by the Cuban Treaty."

CAPP1IIL!O!2L
Should Clean Slate
By Con Gresham Knutson

Last Friday the Keep America
Out of War Committee" met to
consider and discuss the present
foreign situation. Among those pre-
sent was my old friend. john J. o.
Conner, fomer member of Congress
from New York, who was "purged'
by the President last fall because
he refused to be a rubber stamp.
Mr.. O'Connor suggested that If we
must get into another war we
should at least ask England and
France to pay what they owe us
from the last war so we can start
the new war with a clean slate.
They have not paid us a cent for
seven or eight years and they now
owe Uncle Sam enough money to
pay off every farm mortgage in
the country. They tell us they can
not pay anything on the debt but
1 noticed the other day that one of
them had let China have IS million
dollars and Turkey an equal
amount. 1t is quite generally agre-
ed that we will have to finance the
next war if we get into it; but
with a wide ocean on each side of
US there need be no next war for
us.
War? What For?
Our Increasing Load
ence report of the Treasury-Post
Office appropriation bill for 1910,
Representative Dirksen of Illinois
brought out some interesting fig
ures pertaining to the debt load Of
the Republic and the alarming rate
at which it is increasing.
At the close of the Civil War the
national debt was but two and
two-thirds billions and the interest
charge was slightly over thirty-four
and one-half millions. In 1914 the
interest charge of what we owed
was about % million. Twenty-Five
years later, in 1889, it had reached
the astronomical sum of one bill
lion, and for 1910 it will be / bill
lion so million, which is about
what it cost to run the entire gov
eminent when I first came to- Con-
gresS.
Mr.. Dirksen showed that the
money we now pay out in interest
on the national debt would build
$4,000 comfortable cottages cost
ing $500 each. In the past 6 years
we have paid out billion dollars
in interest for which sum we could
have built 2 million $50 thousand
comfortable homes for that many
families.

Braddock Eyes
Comeback Trail
AS Funds Zane
By ROBERT McSHANE

JIMMY BRADDOCK, Cinderella
- man of the heavyweight ranks,
has decided to come out of retire
ment. This despite his withdrawal
from active competition several
months ago.
Braddock has a good reason for
taking his gloves off the wall. It's
the same reason that prompted
Tony Canzoneri, Benny Leonard,
and the many others to get back
into the ring after their best fighting
days were over. He's short Of
funds.
Joe Gould, Braddock's manager,
forced his retirement in the first
place. Gould intended to see to it
that his man quit before he absorbed
too much punishment. He didn't
want Jim changed from likable
young man to a punch-drunk vet
eran of too many ring wars.
So Jim quit the ring and started
in the saloon business. Braddock's
Inn wasn't very much of success.
In fact, it went down for the count
and $4,000. The 32-year-old former
heavyweight champ again ran into
financial troubles. That, of course,
couldn't be foreseen. Gould's inten-
tions were highly laudable.
Don't feel too sorry for Jim. Be-
ing broke isn't a new experience to
him. When his fighting went bad
