Poison Ivy Can
Be Prevented

Summertime Is here and this
is the time for poison ivy, poison
oak and poison sumac to start
spreading their three-cornered
foliage all over the landscape
especially the shady spot where
you want to sit down to MUNICH
on your picnic goodies. But bet.
ter be on the lookout for these
despoilers of your outing.
First thing to do is try to learn
to identify these plants. Then
learn to avoid them whenever
you're in the woods for picnic
fishing or camping trip, or even
a stroll. Any dictionary will give
you a description of the plants
with the larger books giving you
an illustration of what the leaves
and fruits look like.
Make a habit of washing thor.
oughly each time you take a
stroll in the woods and you think
you've rubbed against one of the
poison bushes. Best way Is to
make a thick lather of yellow
kitchen soap and hot water and
wash five or six times. Apply
alcohol, then rinse with
cold water and dry with soft
fabric.
II you have been touched by
the poison leaves and the above
mentioned precautions are not
effective, you are then In a bad
fix. Medical science has not yet
developed a sure cure for a bad
case of poison ivy. Inoculations
have proven more or less sue
cessful but they must be taken
before coming in contact with
the plants.
One thing you must remember
IL YOU have a case of the poison.
Don't scratch. Wash the infected
spots with soap and water and
rub with alcohol, then cover with
a calomine solution to which
enough carbolic acid has been
added to make a two per cent
Dressings soaked In a
solution of EPSON salts may
bring relief. OF course you
should see a doctor as soon as
possible.

THE LECoNTE's THRAsHER

Birds are ordinarily known for
their swiftness, both in the air
and on the ground. The Lecon-
te's Thrasher is one of the swift
est of all the birds, but its speed
is the most useful on the ground,
so it is seldom that it will rise in
the air and escape like most
birds, but will, instead, travel
over the ground so fast that men
on horseback cannot even come
close to it. Not only can it sur.
vive in a chase, but it can even
be quite active in temperatures
as high as 1870 degrees above
zero.
One tree will make million
one match will destroy
