SNAKE POISON
CURES CANCER

PORT JERVIS, \. Y, Aug. THE
scientists who are earnestly seeking a
cure for cancer, had best study the
case of Mrs. Wilhelmina Lodwig. Rat
tlesnake poison has cured Mrs. Lodwig
of cancer. so it seems. unluckily' her
nephew. Karl Lodwig killed the rattle
snake that bit her. SO scientists can
not learn the effect Of cancer poison on
this particular snake. 1t may be that
the cancer germ and rattlesnake poison
are ~recfprocal antidote. and had this
rattlesnake lived. it might have become
an innocuous. even lovable reptile.
However. speculation is useless; an
other sufferer from cancer and a rat
tlesnake must be brought in contact.
Mrs. Lodwig, 40 years old. is the
wife of a farmer near Millrift Pike
county. Pa. She had cancer OF the
left leg for years; physicians We're In
vain. Mrs. Lodwig was so near dead
that she determined TO visit her rela-
tives in Philadelphia. In this melan-
choly mood she was picking hhckleber-
rles on a hill near. her farm few days
ago. The lurking rattlesnake bit her
on the left leg; her cries brought Kari
running.
Mrs. Lodwig called a physician by
phone. but he could not reach her
home in less than three hours. Mean
time her left leg became Immensely
swollen, but, remarkable 70 say the
swelling did not extend above the can
Ger. Which IS a little above Mrs. Lod-
Wigs knee. When the doctor arrived
he prescribed a nerve sedative and told
Mr.. Lodwig his wife was doomed.
Instead. she soon became better the
swelling subsidized; the cancer quickly
took on a healthy appearance, and Is
healing rapidly. Mrs. Lodwig is GAIN

No rigid rule may be laid down for
selecting chairs for the veranda, as
conditions vary in different homes,
but two general divisions may be kept
in mind. In the first class belong the
chairs that will stand exposure to tie
weather. and in the second are those
that must be protected from the ele
ments. Sometimes a riazza is so situ-
ated or so enclosed that upholstered
chairs may be used with safety; sone-
times the danger from wind and rain
will make only weather-proof furni-
ture desirable.
There are other seats beside chairs

ESTIMATES WITH
ROAD PROJECTS
Levy Court Believes II Will
Hold Down Cost of New
Highways

At a meeting OF Levy Court held
yesterday afternoon, IL was decided
that hereafter when roads are TO be
constructed by the county. the specif-
cations must be accompanied By an
estimate made by Highway Commis-
sioner Price. Il was shown that upon
the roads. where the estimates by Mr.
Price accompanied the specifications
FOR bidding, the prices were cheaper
than those when no estimate was fur
nished.
Highway Commissioner Price, In
making a report upon the subway ct
Richardson's HILL under the railway
tracks on the Newport pike. stated
that the plan was not feasible on ac-
count Of the steep grade that would
destroy the road for all practical pur-
poses.
Plans for the rebuilding Of the road
from Christiana 10 Stanton we're sub
mltted by Highway Commissioner
Price and signed by the Levy Court.
The distance between the towns is
about three and one-half miles, but Il
will be impossible to rebuild the road
the entire distance. A resolution was
passed for the asking Of bids for the
lconstructon OF the road
Great pressure was brought 10 bear
upon the Levy Court for the building
of the Lancaster turnpike, but the act
ties up the court in so much as il is
clearly defined that the Newport road
be built first. In order 70 ascertain II
there was any way in which the work
could be done. the matter was sub
mitted 10 sylvester d Townsend, at
torney for the Levy Court.
May Build Later
In his opinion Mr.. Townsend sub
United the following:
section 7 of the act authorizing the
borrowing Of three hundred thousand
dollars for the permanent improve
ment OF public highways in New Cas-
lie county requires that all that portion
OF the road leading from Wilmington
through Newport to stanton, exclusive
OF such portion as is within the town
limits of the towns of Newport, shall be
wholly built and completed before any
lother road in Christiana hundred.
"As stanton is in Mill Creek Creek
hundred, the road u.s.. required TO be
built in so far as same is within Chris
tiana hundred.
"After such road Gin so far as the
same is within Christiana hundred, tis
completed. then the Lancaster pike
from wilmington 10 Mill Creek hum
dred line Of any portion thereof may
be built"

What is soundi

The natural question, What Is soundT'
opens up a world Of mystery and Of de-
light to those that like that sort OF thing.
Anything that sets up vibrations in the
air. where there IS an ear TO receive them,
makes noise. An alarm clock in a
vacuum-jar may whirr ever 50 busily'
but It makes no noise. There must be air
br there is no sound; and there must be an
ear TO carry the vibrations 70 the brain

Oh picture paper folk are strange;
They have such big, round eyes!
Somehow. their ages never change
AS time so swiftly dles.
They have peculiar twisty legs
And feet Of monstrous shape
And fingers just like wooden pegs,
And hair that hangs like tapel

Like Creatures not Of earth.
And men of geometric style
For poses primly strive.

CHAIRS FOR YOUR PIAZZA
Some Points Regarding Their Selection
Appropriate to the August Sales.

Appropriate to the August Sales.
It seems so simple a task to select
chairs for the veranda that usually
very little consideration is given to
their purchase. "Send me some real
cheap chairs for the piazza" is not an
uncommon order at the furniture
stores. but the result of such an order
is likely to be far from satisfactory
An ideal chair for the piazza is one
that is not too light nor too heavy
with low seat and The back sufh-
GENTLY high TO support the head. SUCH
a chair as this is not to be found
among the real cheap" chairs in any
store. A chair carefully designed and
well constructed cannot be produced
at a low cost. says the August Deline-
ator.
One of the most charming designs
for use on the piazza of a Colonial
house is the old high. backed Windsor
chair of President Washington's time.
