MOUNTAIN WEED
 MAY BE GOLD ON
 THEM THAR HILLS

False Hellebore is a weed which grows on well-drained, moist slopes and looks like a skunk cabbage. It is common in Southeast Alaska. And it may be gold on the hills. Carl Taylor, plant pathologist
 representing the Rexall Drug Com pany, has been in Juneau investi- gating the plant. Working with Charles H. Forward, timber man. agement official with the U. s. For est Service here, he has been inves- tigating the pharmaceutical value of the species grown in Southeast Alaska.
 The root of the plant is used in manufacturing heart stimulants and insecticides.
 At present, supplies of Hellebore root are obtained from eastern United States and Europe.
 Rexall Drug Company has been searching for a supply of the Helle- lore root which contains more of the medically valuable alkaloids than is contained in roots from the present source of supply.
 Forest Service here sent samples to the company, and Taylor's jour ney of investigation to Southeast Alaska was the result.
 The weed is found in abundance is Southeast Alaska, in mountain meadows above timberline.
 Taylor and Forward have made arrangements for experimental planting of the weed here.
 Taylor returned to the south to- day, taking 1900 pounds of Helle- bore root with him for further tests, which will prove the com- mercial value.

one Of the leaders in this list Of

face with a thin cheese cloth and
allow to remain on till morning.
And then best Of all place some
small thin slices (the peel is fne)
over the eyes. Just watch and see
how clear the eyes will become
after few applications. Never
throw a cucumber peel away, for
there's health and beauty in 1t.

Woman Beaten
In Jail

McCOMB, Miss (ANP) An un-
identified 68-year-old Negro wo-
man is said to have been beaten in
Jail here two weeks ago because
she was thought to be in possess
ion Of information held vitality es-
sential to the prosecution Of an
other Negro.
The aged woman was alleged
to have been severely dashed with
cat-o-nine-tail type of whip after
being made to lift her skirt and
expose her nakedness. The beat
ings were administered at intervals
of five minutes, the latter time
being allowed for a rest period.
The victim was described as
being a "good woman, honest and
inoffensive." The incident is said
to add to the already long list of
whippings of Negro prisoners.
Whites too, are said to have
shared similar experiences.
Information was disclosed that
the whipping of prisoners in nu-
merous Mississippi Confines is a
common thing. 1t was stated that
in the courthouse at Magnolia,
Miss, a whip is kept on hand for
this purpose.
The white populace here is en-
ragged at the beating of the aged
woman and have asked that the
matter be given wide publicity.
No one here condones the practice
of torturing prisoners to the ex-
tent that beatings are mercilessly
administered.
