For Snake Bite, Hot Water.

Many are the curious methods
adopted for curing snake bites, but
surely none can be more so than a
way Of which our Bhavnagar CORE
spondent informs us, says the Military
Gazette. Two natives in village near
that station were, he says, brought
back to life after being bitten by q
obra.
The victims were seated on the
ground and there held, while from a
height of sixteen feet gallons and gal
Ions Of hot water were poured over
their heads. Presently, according to
the correspondent, the victims "took
q new lease of life," and are now as
well as though they had never been in
the jaws of death at all.
The explsnation to this "cure" prob
ably is that the snake, as otter hap
pens, bit is victims, but injected no
poison intothem. Thus the men were
merely terrified and continued to be
frighteneduntil the pain caused by the
Gouche of lot water gave them some
thing else 20 think about.

A VOICE AGAINST
THE FAKE SALES

Editor Press-Dear Sir: The time
is near for some of the fake merchants
Of the coast cities to drop in on us
and pull off their great Santa Claus
gift giving sales of everything, at one
third its value (?).
Heaven knows that we have had
enough such sales here to last us a
number of years, and what business
and ready money that is left rightly
belongs to the legitimate BUSINESS
| firms.
Why should our daily papers accept
advertising from these fake intruders
for month at the most, and the bal
ance of the year depend on legitimate
merchants for their support.
Should not the business men de-
nounce such papers and refuse to pat
ronize them?
Such fake sales not only harm the
merchants, but the people of the town
and valley are buncoed and led to be-
lieve that they must trade outside the
valley to get a square deal.
The time has come when the papers.
the business men and the city Off
cials should lay aside all petty dif
ferences, get together and work for
the protection and interests of the
valley.
An ordinance against misrepresen-
tation in advertising and a heavy tax
of $50 to $1O0 per day on such fakes
will work a blessing to all.
A quiet and united effort will save
the Christmas business for legitimate
firms, providing the proper laws are
passed.
Our hats are off to the Press and
we commend you for refusing to ac-
cept these fake advertisements and
your stand regarding them.
What immense good it would do jf
others would take the same stand and
help protect the interests of the firms
that support and give them living.
Thanking you for your space,
AN OBSERVER.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
WHEN IT'S PLEASANT

The Saturday Evening Post raises
a good point regarding Christmas
shopping when it says that in the
early part of the Christmas shopping
period there is real pleasure in it, for
all have time to make selections and
the stocks are complete. Later the
clerks are tired out, the stocks are
depleted and there is great disap-
pointment. The moral is:

that here at least he would show
some sadness, but not at all.
"Well, 1 suppose conditions are

we might as well take it philosoph-

And 1 am forced to conclude that
too many of us are taking the misery
that exists here in Chicago philosoph-
ically. Certainly, we are not doing
what we should to help it.

cries of hunger from their children

of the men who are tramping the

BY Jane Whitaker.
If there is one person in the world
that l admire more than another it
is the optimist. And if there is one
person in the world 1 dislike more
than another it is again the optimist,
because, you see, there are two kinds
of optimists.
We have all had the good fortune
to meet the type of man or woman
who can smile bravely when every
thing is going wrong with themselves
and we have all had the misfortune
to meet the person who can smile
cheerfully when everything is going
wrong with the other fellow. The
first optimist l like, the second OPP
timist makes me genuinely angry.
And lately 1 have met many of the
second type of optimist. 1 have met
many men and women who are get
ting three good meals day, who
have comfortable shelter, comforta-
BILE and often beautiful clothes and
sufficient money to indulge in quite a
few luxuries.
They haven't single reason to
pity themselves and can well afford
to take a pleasant view of life as it
affects them, but they also insist upon
taking very optimistic view of life
as it is affecting other people.
Just yesterday one of this type of
optimists told me that while he did
not doubt at all that there was con-
siderable misery in Chicago and every
other large city this winter, we should
look at it from a cheerful standpoint
and not make ourselves and others

HEAD OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY
ADDRESSES INTERESTING LET
TER TO OFFICERS AND ALL EN-
PLOYES OFF HIS ROAD.

To impress upon every individual
connected with the Southern Railway
the Importance of politeness and cour-
tesy in dealing with the public, Presi-
ident Harrison, of that line, has mail
ed every officer and employee the fo'-
lowing letter:
To All Officers and Employees of the
Southern Railway Company,
railroad is first of ali q public
servant. 1t follows that the success
of a railroad as business enterprise
depends, in a very large measure, not
only upon the efficiency Of the trans
portation it Affords but upon the per-
sonal treatment which those doing
business with the railroad receive at
the hands of its officers and employees.
Therefore, in addition to doing every
thing in his power to promote the ply
steal efficiency of our service, each
|officer and employe, whatever may be
his rank or duty, must at all times
consider the moral efficiency, and this
means first Of all that he should treat
all patrons of the company, and others
with whom he may come in contact
with politenes and courtesy This is
a primary rule of management of the
Southern Railway Company, but it is
no more than each officer or empIoye
himself expects of everyone from
whom he buys. This rule should be
observed regardless Of the amount of
business that the individual may give
to the company, not only because that
