AVOID WHISKY FOR SNAKE BITES.
How to Treat Injuries from venomous
Reptiles-Liquor Not the Solution.

Be it remembered always that death
following snake bite is not necessarily
the same thing as death from snake bite.
Error in treatment plays no small part
IN vitiating the statistics. For "error"
read whisky" Whoever is primarily
responsible for the hoary superstition
that liquor in huge doses is useful in
snake poisoning has many a life to an
swer for, Apart from any adventurous
aid whatsoever, whether from snake
Of any other source, a whole bottle
OF raw whisky forced down the throat
of man unaceustomed to alcohol is
pretty likely to kill MIN, and is abso-
lutely certain TO cause grave poison
ing. Add to this that it IS given, often.
IN such manner that the reaction
from it comes cohtemporaneously with
the heart collapse caused by the venom,
and a telling commentary upon the
method is suggested. 1t is question
whether alcohol should ever be given in
such cases without the advice Of a physi.
clan. Certain it is that it should not
be poured into the victim in quantities
limited only by the lask-contents of the
bystanders
Let me make one point clear While
the venomous snakes of this country are
by no means deadly" in the ordinary
sense Of the term, their bite is always
serious, both in its immediate effects
and in the possibility Of after effects.
The bitten person should get to a physi-
clan at once. The immediate treatment
Is prompt ineision and sucking of the
wound. Permanganate of potash for
rubbing into the bitten place should al
ways be carried by persons travelling in
a snake-infested country. If the bite

the spread of the venom. Use whisky
sparingly, if at all, and then only in
case of complete collapse.
The local treatments are most eff
fective while the venom Is still around
the site Of the bite, and will reduce
the injurious effects considerably. But
after half an hour or so the absorption
Of the venom becomes more general and |
the local treatments ineffective. When !
the venom once enters into general cir !
no chemicals or medication can |
neutralize its effects except a specific an /

action of venom anywhere in the body.
It finds the venom wherever it is pres

"Yes" said one of the so-called Stand

Since the STANDARD Oil group is the

be taken as an official confirmation Of

A BLIGHT
By ELIZABETH WEED
Copyright, 1910. by American Press
Association.

Edith Wilton combined two marked
contradictions. Size possessed low
able disposition, but when she was a
baby, through the carelessness of a
nurse, she fell and cut her lip, produc-
ing wound that in healing left a
scar giving a very disagreeable ex-
preston to her face.
Edith could see in the faces of those
she met repugnance oceasioned by
her expression. At first she tried to
obviate this effect by smiling. but she
saw at once by the further recoil of
the one looking at her that she was
only frightening the disagreeable i'm
preston. Such physical blights usual
" have one of two effects. either the
blighted person is unconscious of the
defect or becomes painfully sensitive
concerning IT. Edith was Of the lat

Then, becoming conscious that in be

sought TO draw her out socially. Con-
fidence between young girls is close.
while that between opposite sexes, es-

young men who met Edith looked
upon the expression on her face and
turned away with shrug. Her girl
friends had better opportunity to
learn what there was under the mis-
leading expression When one of her
chums was married she insisted on
Edith being her bridesmaid. Edith
demurred, but her friend would not ex-
cuse her.
At the wedding the bridesmaid,
looking up suddenly, saw the eyes Of
a young man She had never seen riyet- I

STORY STARTLES LIVERPOOL
Cotton Valued at So, 900 Involved
in the Alleged Fraud.

Liverpool.-There was a sensation in
Cottonopils Friday, born of widely cir
culated statements that forged bills of
lading for cotton purporting to have
been shipped from the United States had
been uncovered. The alleged fraudulent
%methohds, it was said, involved cotton
valued at So, 900, and in addition to
thirty Liverpool concerns, it was stated
that several continental cotton houses
were heavy losers.
The Echo says that the method OF
using the alleged false bills of lading was
to append fac-simile carriers signatures
to bills of lading sent with drafts to
this side before the cotton was delivered
by carriers and that importers in many
cases paid such drafts. When the prac-
tice was discovered the steamship com
panies withheld deliveries until the bills
of lading were verified. The Echo says
that an investigation made by importers
shows that not only were a number of
these bills of lading spurious, but that
there was actually no cotton against
some of them.

the Alabama cotton firm of knight,

FORTY M IN MINE
Flames Shot at Great Height From the
Shaft.

Birmingham, Ala.-Of the forty men
entombed in the Mulga mine of the Biz
m~ingham Coal and Iron Company, at
Mulga, Ala, about twelve miles north
west of this city, by an explosion at 9
o'clock, it is believed that all are dead.
The cages in the shaft of the mine were
so badly sprung by the force of the ex-
plosion that they are useless, and all
other means adopted by rescue parties in
an effort to reach the entombed men
have proven futile.
There are fifteen white and twenty-five
negro laborers in the mine. The foreman
of the working gang, who is entombed
with the others, has the only list of the
men working at the time, but it is be-
lieved that only forty men were in the
gang.
Following the explosion flames shot up
the shaft of the mine for a distance of
about 400 feet, and the ground is COW
cred with charred timbers around the
mouth of the shaft, which were blown up
from the bottom of a 350-foot shaft by
the force of the explosion. Every win
dow in the little mining village was
broken by the explosion.

PROBE COTTON POOL
HAYNE AND BROWNE MADE DE.
PENDANTS IN CASE.
Agreement for Purchase Of 10000 Bales
Observation-Disclosures Feels Effect.


New lork.-There was started in New
York Tuesday a federal investigation
without precedent in this country. The
encouragement of the United States
ordered an inquiry into the gigantic bull
movement in cotton, with which the
names of James A. Patten Of Chicago,
Frank B. Hayne and William P. Brown
of New Orleans ana Eugene Scales OF
Texas have been popularity connected.
Hayne and Brown both appear as de-
PENDANTS in the proceedings, but it could
not be learned whether Mr.. Patten will
be subpoenaed at Chicago to come here
and testify. He has been generally
credited, however, with being the finan-
eial genius of the pool, and in recent
interviews he has outlined his bullish
position and his determination to fight
the supposed bear clique which has been
r~eshipping cotton to this country from
England in an endeavor to break tho
market.
Subpoenas were issued at the direc.
ton of Mr.. Wickersham commanding q

ton brokers to appear before a special
federal grand jury tomorrow to testify
in the matter of the United States
against Frank B. Hayne and William P.
Brown"
The subpoenas demand the submission
to the special grand jury of all records,
papers, letters, memoranda and an agree
ment dated Feb. &c last by Hayne and
Brown and others. The agreement, the
subpoenas state, was for the purchase OF
$50, 900 bales of cotton for delivery in
New York during March and July, in
elusive, at certain prices and under GER
tain conditions. The fixing of the prices
and conditions, the government charges,
was a violation of law.
When news of the governments deci-
sion at first was circulated the market
became very weak and unsettled and in
side OF an hour May cotton sold at 14.54
cents, or thirty points below the high
level of the day, and about As points
under the high price of last week.
