TEMPERANCE NOTE& a l c o h o l f o b SNAKE BITES. frown * iM tON by if. If. Kellogg, jt. o., or tU* Battle Creek Sanitarium, People who w o ready to admit that the effects ot alcohol upon, the human stomach arc bad under ordinary condi- tiotfS" anti rarely necessary for medical purposes still think that nothing but whisky will euro a person bitten by a rattlesnake. However, I am inclined tothink that there is more of supersti­ tion than fact in regard to the supposed benefit to he derived from the' use of alcohol to counteract the poison of the rattlesnake. A t apy rate l am quite sure that a tvhislry blte is a great deal worse than a snake bite. Hut you say a nan was bitten by a rattlesnake and heffank.large quantities oHiquor aud jt diu not make him driink—a man whq was foot addicted to the use of liquor and a fraction of the quantity would have made him dead druuk under ozdi­ nary circumstances—doesn’t that prove whisky to be an antidote? Or here is another man bitten by a rattlesnake ’whotook alcohol and did not die. Such instances- prove nothing. Ip the first place, the reason .that a man who has been thusbitten does uot become drunk, by taking liquor is simply because the •poison of the snake is more virulent than the poison o f the whisky. I t is just the same with poisons which are . given as medicines. Under certain con­ dition^, morphine can be administered indoses which would p-ove fatal to'one inhealth. Nature has her attention so thoroughly directed1 to the disease that she pays uo Attention" to the medicine. On the other hand, some become ex­ ceedingly susceptible to the medicine. If a person is really poisoned by the virus of a rattlesnake, the whole sys­ tem is aroused in alarm and conse­ quently alcohol can be taken in enor-' ,mous quantities and the body does not give it recognition. It might also be the case that the person was under such a state of mental excitement that the alcobol wpuld have no effect. Many a man in the army was wounded quite severely and yet so carried away by the excitement of the battle that he did not know until afterward that there was anything the matter with him. But you ask further, how about the cases of individuals who took whisky for the bite and got well? Many be­ lieve that if a person bitten by a rattle- snake.can be made dead drank lie will recover. Bnt the trntb is that if you can make him dead drunk, it merely shows that he was uot effectively bit­ ten. The apparatus with which a rat­ tlesnake dealB out his virus is of bone and made exactly like a hypodermic syringe, being sharpened off with a chisel point. It is curved, so that if it strikes the skin indirectly, it strikes on the rounded side and does .no harm for the poison slides off.. Frequently a snake w ill make two or three fruitless thrusts and w ill empty his poison bag before he pierces the skin at all. The thrust has to be exactly' right else the instrument w ill glance off and w ill not penetrate the skin, Or by getting too mpcl^excited the snake spills out bis potMmtoo soon and little or none gets intoihe system. Or, again, if the bite is sJlde through clothing, very little of th™inis w ill penetrate. Probably not more than, one case in ton receives a fatal bite and the remaining nine cases are the ones which get well when treated with whisky tor they would get well anyway. The proper thing to do is to imme­ diately extract ‘the blood and the poison from the wound by sucking it with the mouth. The wound can first be squeezed and cleansed and then drawn with the lips with per­ fect safety* I f the part is inacces­ sible, get another person to perform the service 'tor you. There are other other remedies such as searing with a red-hot iron, the application of caustic or of carbolic acid, but in the majority of cases these things are not at hand and to wait to secure them would be at the Tisk of life.—Reported by Helen L. Manning. __________ QUICK AS THE T ELEPHONE. The Saving Influence of m Kittle Child’* Prajrer. One night a well-known citizen of a western city who had been walking for some timCin the downward path* came out of hit house and started down town for a night of carousal with some old companions he had promised to meet. His young wife had besought him with imploring eyes to spend the evening with her, and had reminded him of the time when evenings passed in her com­ pany were all too" short* Ills little daughter had clung about his knees and coaxed in her pretty, willful way for “papa** to tell her some bedtime stories; but habit was stronger than love for child and wife, and he eluded her tender questioning by the deceits and excuses which are the eonvenleht refuge of the intemperate, and so went on his way. When he was some blocks distant from his holfic he found that in chang­ ing his coat he had forgotten to remove his wallet, and he could not go on a drinking bout without money, even though he knew his family needed it, and his wife was economizing every day more and more in drdcr to make up his deficits; so he hurried back and crept softly past the window of his little home in order that he might steAl in and obtain it without running the gauntlet of either questions or caresses. But as Jut looked through the window something stayed his feet; there was a fire in the grate within—for the night was chill- and it lit up the little pftrlor •ad brought out In startling effect tb« pictures on the -wall But these wyra nothing to the pictures on ths hearth. There in the soft glow of the firelight knelt his child at her mother’s feet, its smaUhands clasped in prayer, its fair head bowed; and, as its rosy lips whispered each word with childish dis­ tinctness, the' father listened, spell­ bound, to the words which he himself had so often uttered at his own mother’^ knee; “Now I laymedownto sleep." His thoughts ran back to his boy­ hood hours, and as he cohipresscd his bearded lips he could see in menory the face of that mother, long dince gone to her rest, who taught his own infant; lips prayers which he had long ago for­ gotten to utter.. -Thechild went,on and compleled her littlp verse, and then, fis prompted by the zqother, continued; “Bod bless mamma, papa and my own self”—then there Was a pause, and she lifted her troubled blue eyes to her mother's face: ' “God bless papa,” prompted ths mother, softly. “God bless papa,” lisped the little, m “ And—please send him homo sobers* .■--he could hot hear the mother as sb» -said this, but the .child followed in clear, inspired tone; “Godvbless papa—-and please—send him—home—sober. Amen.”,; Mother and child sprang to their feet in alarm when the door so suddenly opened, bnt they were not afraid when they’’ saw who it was, returned so soon; but that night, when little Mary Was being tucked up in bed, after such a romp with papa, she said in thesleep­ iest and most contented of-voices: “Mamma, God answers most as quick m the telephone, doesn’t He?”—Union Signal - ■ ■■■■■■ DRINKING StfUDIERS. Pernicious E ffect* o t M oilem te Drinking Among Officers. ” A good point is scored by Mrs. Me- Clees for American patriotism. Women may reasonably protest when they see the nation’s defenders going over to the enemy by adopting the vices of foreign countries. . > “The truth is (and the good of the army and navy should not allow us to ovorlook it) ,that United States officers with few exceptions are so-called 'mod­ erate drinkers’ and they also ape for­ eign customs too much. “The name , ‘canteen,’ tor instance; for although it may have signified in the Spanish army more than a century ago a cellar for the sale of liquors, with accompaniment of music, such as was once the case in the United States na­ vy when the grog tab was nailed to the mast of the ship .and the 'blue jackets' were marched to their daily ration by musical sounds, and although it might have had the English meaning of a per­ ipatetic store chest which afterwards became a permanent refreshment room tor the British army, or a so-called club room tor the French troops; yet history records tor us the sod conse­ quences resulting, viz., greater intoxi­ cation found within the camp limits than without, so that the attention of parliament was called to an investiga­ tion which resulted in prohibition.”— W.

Life is an interrogation point. “ What is it for?” we con­ tinually cry from the cradle to the grave. So with this little introduc­ tory sermonwe turn and ask: “ What js.

We believe August Flower cures Dyspepsia. We kuow it will. We have reasons for knowing it. Twenty yearsago it startediii a smallcountry town. To-day it has an honored place in every city audcountrystore, possesses one o f the largest manu­ facturing plants in the country and sellseverywhere. Why is this?
