How Her Life Was Saved When Bit
ten by a Large Snake.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago
a harmless little garter snake fell
on the wheel of an automobile which
was being driven by a woman. The
woman promptly tainted and the car,
left to it's own resources, ran into a
stone wall and caused a serious acct
dent.
The bite Of a poisonous snake
needs prompt attention. Mrs. X. NJ.

life when bitten by large snake.
ION August %, 1906, l was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper

used SIoan's Liniment, and to my as

CHAMPION EATER CHALLENGED
Farmer Whose Appetite Made Him
Famous Bantered to Eat.

Joseph Sheets, the Michigan farm
er who gained widespread fame a
few weeks ago by pulling down a
bet of $40 in an eating contest, is in
receipt of a challenge from a farm
er in Iowa, who thinks he has an
even greater appetite and capacity
than Sheets.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the challenge will be accepted
by Sheets. If he does this will
doubtless be one of the first contests
of the sort pulled off in the United
States for some time.
If the farmer from Iowa wants to
stand any show with the Michigan
man he will have to 'go some. :"
Sheets recent record of eating sauer-
kraut, potatoes, bread, steak and
drinking tea, water and beer in here
tofore unheard of quantities, and
then three dozen eggs on top of that,
will make any aspirant, in order to
surpass, starve himself beforehand.
The challenge is made in the face
of the bet recently made by Sheets
that he could out-eat any other man
in the upper peninsula.

says so right on their tombs.

BOTHERING INSURANCE AGENTS
Special Tax Imposed by State Is of
Interest in Dawson.

Are local and soliciting agents of
assessment and industrial insurance
companies liable for the special tax
of SO under the new insurance act
passed by the last legislature?
That is a question that is bother
ing some hundreds of agents of such
companies in the state just now, and
incidentally they have passed the
problem along to Insurance Commits
sioner w. A. Wright to do some Wor-
rying.
After worrying his due share over
it Commissioner Wright has passed
it along to Acknowledgement Hart
who is asked to render an official
opinion. which is expected to settle
the worry one way or the other.
The decision will be of interest IN
Dawson, as there are both assessment
life and fire insurance companies

than an average bale of cotton, and
netting nearly as much as two bales
at current prices. This is another
evidence of what can be done, on a

LONDON FOGS COSTLY EVIL

One Can Hardly Imagine How Awful
They Are. People Get Lost at
Their Own DOOrsteps.
When genuine London fog takes
possession of the English capital an
impenetrable mist, heavily charged
with sulphur, blots out everything.
You inhale it and it chokes you; it
gets into your eyes and they smart.
The pavement cannot be seen be-
meath ones feet The street lamps
are turned on, but their rays are
swallowed up before they have tray
eled half the distance to the ground.
Pedestrians lose their way and We
hicles mount the sidewalk. Some
times a driver does not see his mis-
take until he find himself mixed up
with the show goods in some shop
window
Business, of course, becomes dis
organized. An expert has estimated
that day of fog in London means
general loss of $1,250,000.
After a week of bad London fog
the returns of deaths due to disease
of the respiratory organs have sew
eral times been twice and thrice the
normal number. The sulphuric acid
irritates the mucous membrane, leav-
ing it particularly open to attacks of
catarrh and bronchitis. During an
intense and continuous London fog
at the end of 1873 the deaths for six
weeks were 1870, 800, 1900, g.
376, 2,495 and 2,016, those in the
fourth week being nearly double
those in the first. The report of the
registrar general in last February
showed that dense fog and cold were
more prejudicial to life than the
cholera epidemics of 1849, 1854 and
1866.
The deadly ingredients of Lon
don fog are the particles of dust and
SCOT which are always present in the
atmosphere. Sir w. T. Dyer esti-
mates that annually two tons of foul
deposit falls upon each acre at Kew,
while a careful measurement con-
Quoted at Chelsea some years ago
showed that a deposit of six tons an
acre fell in a single fortnight.
Couldn't See to Wash.
On the occasion of a great smoke
fog fourteen years ago the glass OF
the greenhouses at Kew Gardens
about three-quarters of a square mile
in area. could not be washed and had
to be scraped, the deposit weighing
three tons.
An analysis of one of these depos-
it's showed that rather more than
one-third was carbon or coal; anoth-
er third was finely pulverized mineral
matter most irritating to the lungs
and ffty-seven parts in every thou
sand were sulphuric acid and by,
drocholoric acid, irritants of the most
violent nature This will explain the
choking effect of London's atmos-
phere upon those who have to live
in it.

Cost of Being Ready.

According to the estimates for the
fiscal year of 19O7-19OS the British
government will pay $138,800, 900
for maintaining its army and $780,
100000 for keeping its great navy
going. The cost to the United States
during the past year for its army was
$103, 100000 and for it's navy $104,-
100000. The German empire in one
year spends $2O6, 100000 on its
army and $68,OOO,OOO on it's navy.
Frances estimate is: Army, $780,
100000; navy, $65,O00,OO0.

where they all came from. The heavy
winter clothing is thrown aside and
many shed their aiunels. Then a cold

more dangerous than in midwinter, as
there is more danger Of pneumonia.
