IMMUNITY DOES NOT EX1S Economic Loasea From Poisoning Are Very Great and There la Urgent Need of Widespread Campaigna to Stamp Out Poisonous Plants. (Prepared by the United Etates Depart ment of Agriculture.) Washington, V. C. The best ways to avoid Ivy nnd sumac poisoning, the most practical means of eradicating these noxious plants, and the most approved method of treating cases of such poisoning have been the subjects of an Investigation conducted jointly by the United States department of agriculture and the public health serv Ice of the United States treasury de partment. Despite general belief there s good reason for believing that abso lute immunity rrom Ivy ana sumac poisoning does not exist. Investigators state. They also found that many common methods of treatment are not to be commended. Poison Ivy Is some times called poison oak. Poison sumac Is also known In various localities as poison dogwood, poison elder, poison nsh, thunderwood, nnd polsonwood These poisonous plants are widely dls trlbuted. While no accurate estimates can be made as to the economic losses resulting from poisoning, the total Is very great, and there Is urgent need for widespread campaigns to eradicate these noxious plants. Handle With Gloves. If one must handle these poisonous plants, gloves, preferably of rubber, should be worn. After the gloves have been removed they should be thorough ly washed with soap and water and rinsed several times. Inasmuch as the clothing which comes In contact with the leaves may be a source of Infection for a considerable period, care should be taken In changing the garments, nnd also the shoes. Many cases of poison ng have resulted merely from contact with exposed clothing. One of the surest and best methods of minimizing or preventing Infection nfter the hands, face or other parts of the body have been exposed, Is to wash and rinse them repeatedly with an bundance of good kitchen soap and hot water. The poison, nfter being deposited on the skin, requires some time to penetrate, and If this penetra tion can be prevented by thoroughly washing, eruption and irritation will not result. While exposed parts should be cleansed In this manner as soon after exposure as possible, It is worth while to make the attempt even 12 or :0 hours nfterwards In the hope that t least n portion of the poison may be removed. A heavy lather should be produced and the washing should be continued several minutes. Severe scrubbing with a brush is not advis able, but several swnbs or smnll com presses of gauze may be used, discard ing each In turn, so that the poison may not be distributed by the cloth. Bathing with alcohol diluted with n equal amount of wnter Is also nn effective preventive. Where exposure has been more general, a bath for the entire body, followed by a change of clothing, Is a good preventive measure. The hair should not be neglected. Bathing, if not accompanied by suffi cient changing of water or rinsing, may result in spreading the rash to skin that had not been Infected. In cases that are at all serious a physician should be consulted. Sugar of Lead Not Recommended. The investlgntors cnll attention to the fact that scores of remedies and prescriptions are more or less In popu lar favor, but in spite of the claims they assert that no specific treatment for poisoning from Ivy and sumac Is yet available. Ointments should not be used in the ncute stage of the dis ease. In the later stages, however, soothing and astringent ointments may bo of vnlue in allaying irritation ana hastening cure. The extent to which it is desirable to use solutions of per manganate of potash, hyposulphite of soda, sulphate of magnesium (Epsom salts), and other remedies, is also dis cussed. Sugar of lead, formerly much used, often proves disappointing if ap plied after Inflammation has developed, and the user runs the risk of lead pois oning If this substance Is applied ex tensively. The names "poison oak" and "nolson Ivy" are used Interchangeably In many localities. The plant generally known as poison oak throughout the Pacific coast occurs as a bush, sometimes four or five feet high, and has leaflets re sembling the leaves of the western oak, but It Is also found as a vine, and is sometimes called poison Ivy. In the east from New Jersey, Dela ware and Virginia southward the name "poison oak" is often used to distin guish from the poison Ivy vine, a form occurring as a bush with lobed leaflets, n little resembling the leaves of scrub oak. Westward from Minnesota, Ne braska, and Arkansas to Washington, Montana, Colorado and New Mexico. this name Is applied to a low bush or trailing shrub which does not climb. The leaves of all forms have stont rather long stems, bearing three leaf lets, two or which are opposite, and short stalked, while the third has a long stalk. The leaflets are from one to four inches long, dark green on the upper surface, lighter (sometimes with a velvety coverlne of fine hairs) un derneath, with smooth or somewhat indented margins. In the eastern states and westward as far as Wyoming to Texas, the Vir ginia creeper Is found generally In the same location as Dolson lvv vine. which It resembles somewhat in Its habits nnd the shape of Its leaflets, but It can be readily distinguished from poison Ivy In that Its leaves are divided into three to five leaflets to the stalk. Moreover, though It Is sometimes sup ported by aerial rootlets, like nolson Ivy, It also has numerous tendrils like tnose or tne grape vine, and its In edible fruits are blue, with red stems. and contain two or three seeds. Poison sumac crows In moist eround. usually In swamps or along low, miry banks of streams and nonds. It oc curs from New England to Florida, and westward to Minnesota, Arkansas and Louisiana. The poison sumac leaves are readily distinguished from the harmless sumac and species of ash, elder and other shrubs and trees hav ing a somewhat similar foliage, and the character, appearance and color of the fruits furnish other simple means of Identification. Furthermore, the poison sumac occurs on moist or swampy land, and In drier locations is found only along the borders ot swamps or bogs. The number of leaf lets Into which the leaves of the harm less sumacs are divided range from 9 to 21 and 31, while the poison sumac leaves divide Into 7 to 13 leaflets. While many persons are of the opin ion that contact with these plants is not necessary to produce poisoning, It Is probable that many cases supposed to have originated In this way have actually been due to direct or Indirect contact. There are cases on record showing that the smoke from burning plants will give rise to Irritation, and In some cases severe poisoning has re sulted from this form of exposure. Re garding the popular belief that soma persons are wholly Immune, the In vestigators state that there Is good reason to believe absolute Immunity does not exist, although It Is recog nized that some persons are much less susceptible than others. How to Eradicate Poisonous Plants. Eradication of these plants should be widely undertaken and followed up systematically.- Every landowner should feel a measure of responsibility in this matter. The simplest method Is by grubbing, in which care should be taken to cover the hands properly, and also to prevent Infection by means of the clothing. The plants In fields may be destroyed by plowing them up and putting in cultivated crops. Often repeated mowing Is also effective. The use of kerosene Is recommended where Injury to other plants or trees Is not to be feared. It may be applied with a sprinkler or a spraying pump, nnd In many case one application is suffi cient. Arsenate of soda has been used very successfully to kill poison Ivy on trees six to ten inches In diameter without Injury to the trees, as well as on stone walls, buildings, and along fences. Censored Four Times In Hungary. Budapest. Newspaper correspond ents here have discovered their dis patches have to run the gantlet of four different censors. One is a local official, another is dominated by ex tremists, and a third by bolshevik! sup posed to be located In Vienna. The fourth Is maintained nt an unknown point, supposedly by enemy neighbors of Hungary. Mutiny Is Work of Reds as- Bolshevik Prisoners of War Sow Seeds of Revolt Among Troops In Poland. Warsaw. Newspaper advices and official statements relative to the mutiny of Polish troops at Kovno show discrepancies which tend to confuse the public as to the real situation there. . It is reported in official quarters the revolt has been completely suppressed, but messages to newspapers declare the trouble is continuing and ihnt the uprising has in many cases taken on bolshevik characteristics. It Is said several hundred bolshevik prisoners of war have been released by Insurgent Polish .soldiers, who later Induced the liberated men to Join their Indian School Girls Have Queer Names Sioux City, la.

Dissatisfied now? ranks. There Is no official confirma tion of this report as yet. Government statements relative to the trouble have been given out by the Polish Telegraph agency, which says the mutineers, belonging to cavalry and artillery units, organized soldiers' councils, and taking up positions In the outskirts of Kovno, opened a heavy fire on the government buildings. After quite serious fighting the mutiny was put down, It is said, but no arrests have since been made by the Polish authorities. Discussing the situation between Poland and Lithuania, the telegraph agency says: "In Lithuanian government circles there Is a desire to reach an under standing with Poland, but this Is op posed by extremist ministers and the bishop of Kovno." HOW TO GET GOLD FROM LEAD Oxford University Professor Gives Tip on How to Take It from Mercury, Too. London. The alchemists' drenm of producing gold from base metals Is not extravagant, asserted Prof. Frederick Soddy of the physical chemistry de partment at Oxford, in a recent publi cation. He tells how to do It. "To get gold from mercury," he says, "expel from the atom of mercury one beta-particle, -which will make thal lium ; then one alpha-particle, which will turn the thallium Into gold. Or, to get gold from lead, expel from the atom of lead one alpha-particle, which will turn It Into mercury, and proceed as before."
