THE DEADLY "REo SPOT"
Tiny Spider More To Be Feared Than
Cobra or Copperhead.

The poison of cobras and copper
heads is known to be deadly enough to
all the popular mind with horror,
though the horror is somewhat niitf-
gated by the remoteness of the danger
from the common walks of life. But
now we are given to understand that
this danger is mere moonshine in COM
parison with greater one that may
be said to find a place in every home.
SO far as is known, it's poison is
the most virulent and powerful, drop
for drop, secreted by any living crea-
ture." This is the language of 1iv-
ing naturalist. Mr. Samuel Hopkins
Adams, who is speaking Of common

United States, lurking around every

size from that of a large pea to q

STEEL AND ALUMINIUM.
Both Now Used to Repair Fractures
and Fasten Broken Bones.

1t used to be believed by physicians
and surgeons that the only thing to
do in cases of fracture Of the long
bones of the legs and arms was to
try to get the damaged ends together
and hold them in place by means OF
bandages and external splints until
union could take place by the healing
processes of nature.
There has been q divergence from
this idea, however. and many surgeons
are advocating, first, an operation and
then the application of internal alumi-
mum splints fastened to the bones by
means of steel screws.
DR.. William S. Thomas of New York
recently addressed the New York
Academy of Science on the subject,
saying:
''No matter how far tile operative
treatment of fracture may advance
toward perfection. there will, doubt
less, remain large majority of cases
best treated by ordinary splints and
massage. There will also remain a
class of border line eases where a de-

Latonia and Lexington, Ky, Track.
Ask Better "Rake off" from Pools.

Louisville, Ky, Dee. a6.-An important
session of the Kentucky State Racing
Commission will be held at Lexington on
Wednesday,, at which time the application
of the Latonia and Lexington tracks for
an increase of their percentage on the
Pari-Mutuels and auction pools will be
considered.
The two tracks ask that the percent
age deducted by the track from the mon
ey handled by the association for the
public will be increased from J to per
cent. The Louisville Racing Association
thus far has not indicated that it will
join in the request. Latonia and LeNing-
ton have been ordered to bring their
books before the commissioners to show
cause why the increase should be grant

The commissioners probably will insist
upon the running of more long races at
future Kentucky meets. 1t is expected
that they will compel the increase of
stake features from $500 as a minimum
TO $1,000 and for purses from 500 to not
