there is no blame on the part of any

Il am heartily in sympathy with the
total abstinence movement" Cardinal
Gibbons said 1T is wide movement
and | hope it viii spread TO the most
remote corners Of the nation. In the
rural parts OF the country and in the
smaller towns and cities. there Is ev-
cry sign that the agitation is gaining
foothoId which eventually must mean
success and widespread prohibition.
However much ] am in favor OF 10.
tai abstinence, though. | feel that in
the large cities such as Chicago. 1t
would prove impracticable. and If laws
providing for the revocation of IL
CenseS were enforced In these cities. /
fear the resunlt would be the surrepti-
tious sale Of liquor
The problem is one which will re-
quire much time and the best efforts
of our legislators and statesmen 10
solve. but Judging from the results
already obtained. | and every one else
cannot but feel that the total alb
stinence movement Is going on toward
a successful end"

Facts About Snake Venom.

Two classes Of snake poisons are rec
ognized by Dr.. Calmette, director Of
the Pasteur Institute at Lille. The
venoms of the cobra, bungarus and
other serpents Of the east have a pow
erful action upon the nervous system,
but the poisons Of such snakes as the
cerastess rattlesnake and adder have
more strictly localized effects. An old
error is the idea that the poison is only
fatal when it is taken into the veins.
When taken into the stomach in suf-
icient doses it's action is very power
full. and sucking poison from a bite is
not without serious danger. Another
common mistake is the belief that
snakes are immune to the poison of
other snakes. DR.. Callnette's expert
ments have shown that rattlesnake
poison will kill cobras and that it is
only bites from their own species that
snakes can bear without injury. If in
jected promptly, certain chemicals
such as permanganate Of potassium,
chloride Of gold, chloride Of lime and
chronic acid-have considerable value
as antidotes. The only really effective
remedy, however, has proved to be a
