RATTLtSNAKt POISON
 AND HIS ANlDOTt
A Remedy That It Is Claimed By the Pasteur Institute May Be Depended Upon and One Within the Reach of All.

A good rattlesnake story is always in order and makes fine reading but the subject of rattlesnakes also has a serious side to it, particularly if the man in the story feels the reptiles fangs. This article isn't bit funny for 1t is the consideration of the rat tlesnake from a serious point of view. The rattler is no more common in Ari- zona than in the greater part of the continent where the area remains in natural state and the snakes have not been driven out by the blow. but there is rather more danger here than else where for the reason that the traveller is apt to encounter them long dis tance from town or assistance of any sort. It is a general belief that there fs no antidote for the bite of the rat tlesnake and all that can be done Is to prevent the poison gaining a wide circulation in the blood and then stimulate the heart action by whisky or some other decoction or drug of similar effect. Whether this be true or not The Republican gives no opin- ion but it is willing to tell all t knows on the subject and that is that the Pasteur Vaccine CO. Ltd. of Chi cago makes an antivenomous serum which it claims is an antidote for the bites of rattlers and nearly all other venomous reptiles. Better still it is q remedy that can be carried by traV- elers in the mountains just as well ds by the druggists.
 This information Is brought to no- tice by Adolph w. Lautz. secretary of the territorial board of equaliza- ton and is furnished by him for what !t is worth. It is not printed as an advertisement for the manufacturers though if it is what they claim for if th. advertising is freely given for the good it may do the people and the lives it may save. MT.

should be sterilized by boiling for Is minutes Cover the site of the injec- tion with antiseptic cotton. The needle is introduced into the cellular tissue and the injection of the Serum should take at least one or two minutes. The needle is then abruptly withdrawn. The Serum is rapidly absorbed. These precautions as to cleanliness are nec- essary to avoid the formation of an abcess. However they may be dis pensed with if time is an object and the life of the patient is in immediate danger.
 After the injections have been made the bandage may be removed. The patient should be put to bed and well rubbed wrapped in blankets and giv- en hot coffee or tea to drink to induce precipitation.

uation and the men distributing the water have but one object and could have no other That Is to give every man his rights. That is what the gov ernment proposes to do and those who have acquired the bad habit Of breaking gates will not only have to stop it but stand the consequences. They owe no grudge against the gov ernment which is their best friend and is striving to give them protection. for which they must help protect others Not as the result of Tuesdays trip, but recently, it was discovered that two water users west of the city had brok- cn locks on headgates. The men even went so far as to admit it. contending as they had in the past that they had a moral if not a legal right to do so. l. is to convince them to the contrary that mention of the incident is made at this time. The reclamation officials have not disclosed the identity of these men and say they do not intend to in this case. nor do they say whether the offenders will be proceeded against le- gally. It is stated. however. and that quite authoritatively. that any similar infraction of the law will not only be given publicity but that the offenders will be diligently prosecuted, that proper examples be made.

STEALING OF WAFER

That and Other "Eeonomy" Policies Being Looked After by the Govern ment.

The local reclamation officials are giving the government and the lar"i CTS of this valley, the best that IS Tn them these days, in an honest ellor. to handle the water question to the pest possible advantage for all concerned and learn uy experience all Una. can he learned during the present cohul- tions that are necessarily changeaple and will be in a measure temporary until the completion of the reservoir and the distribution of water Is under- taken on a basis that will be perman- entIv systematic The big automobile of I. C. Hill. when not busy carrying him to and from the Roosevelt anu Granite Reef dams, is busy hiking up and down the valley canals ana hlt,lns the high places here and there- TOT instance on Tuesday afternoon about 4:3O Engineers Hill and Reed and Lln- coln Fowler took a little spin west to the Cartwright school house, thence south. further west and back to town again covering perhaps twenty-five or thirty miles in about three hours.
 The particular purpose of that trip was to look over certain sections where it is believed further econo- mics may be practiced by eliminating some of the Liberals and supplying more farmers through a single lateral In one instance it is believed that all the farmers under nine laterals may be served just as well through one, and in another case seven may be consol- dated into one. This is not a new discovery on the part of the engineers, but the original construction or so many laterals seems to have been due to the lack of confidence of the farm CTS in each other under old
 Each wanted his own lateral with as few interested as possible. each fear ing that the other would get the larger share of the available water. Under the present conditions the object IS entire economy in the use of water and it is desirable to have just as few ditches to soak up as possible and yet give every water user his due. The main point the service desires to inn ! press is that the water all belongs to the farmers and it is the purpose Of the government to give each one his due as far as practicable. The more water saved in the ditch soaking pro- cess. the more there will be left for | distribution.
 And it is the same way in the matter of stealing water. The service desires
 to have it impressed upon the farmers that when they steal water, they are not taking it from the government, or
 from any water company which may have got the better of them before and
 which they may feel they owe grudge. but from their own neigh bors and friends; that the act is there fore not only legal crime but is just
 as much a moral crime as though they ] stole their neighbors horses. There are
 many farmers in this valley who would
 not steal a watermelon, and yet in years gone by, the privately boast that they have stolen water, feeling
 when they did so that they were only
 stealing what they had paid for and that it was no crime unless they got | caught at it.

Avoid the use of alcohol or ammonia internally as they are injurious to the patient ant detrimental to the serum treatment. Do not cauterize the wound with eith- CT a hot iron or chemicals.
 Preparing the Soiution.-Sterilize the end of the tube by passing through flame. Break off the end. Hold the tube in a horizontal position and dis tribute the serum long the tube. Boil the requisite quantity of water and allow it to get cold as the Serum will not dissolve in hot water. Introduce say 1 C. c. still holding the tube al- most horizontally. This will moisten the Serum and cause the particles to adhere to the tube. thereby exposing to the water as many particles as pos sible so that the Serum will dissolve more rapidly. In a few moments hold the tube upright and add suffi- cient of the steriliZed water to make 10 c. c. The mark on the tube approx - imately indicates this quantity. The Serum will dissolve and the solution be slightly opalescent. This represents 10 c. c. Liquid Achievements Serum.
 The liquid can also be made in graduate or other suitable receptacle that has previously been rendered sterile.
 Dosage.-The serum should be used at the earliest possible moment after the infliction of the bite. Ii is used by hypodermic injection into the cellular tissue. preferably in the lower ab- dominal region a little to the right or left of the median line. The dose var ies according to the age of the patient the species of the snake and the time of the injection. The usual dose is 10 C. c. for children and adults; but if the bite has been inflicted by a very dangerous reptile, as Rattlesnake Copper head or Water Moccassin. and if considerable time has elapsed since the bite, it is prudent to increase the dose to. say. 20 c. c. Before injecting the Serum, wash the site of the injec- ton with soap and water and then with a per cent solution of carbolic acid or 1-I0OO solution Of corrosive sublimate. Both syringe and needle
