"One dozen snakes, in assorted

Half dozen snakes, assorted sizes,
$40.
These are the best small snakes
for handling that can be- obtained.
They are perfectly harmless and
make a big flash. Excellent for bal
lyhoo or feature act.
These snakes are the sacred
snakes of India, and are Worshipped
as such by the natives of India
The snake mans catalogue shows
also that he handles cockatoos, cana
ries, japanese waltzing, or spinning
mice, and various smaller animals.
Any one who is tired Of his pres
ent vocation has an easy chance to
embark in the snake business. This
catalogue contains what is described
as a "Bosco' outfit, containing a
large assortment of large and small
snakes, which are knocked down at
the ridiculously low price of $40.
But remember, cash must accompany
the order.
You remember Bosco, of course,

100000 DRUG VICTIMS.
That is Revised Estimate of the Num-
beI in This Country.

How many drug addicts, popuiarly
known as dope fends, are there l..
the United States? Some writer
have gone so far as to assert re.
cent. of the population OF the cOun
Try, or about 100000 persons are
victims of the habit-forming drugs.
but experts Of the United States pub
lie health service, who have just COM
pleted an inquiry into the matter.
reach the conclusion that the number
is probably not far from 100000.
just one-tenth the lay estimate.
The public health service found the
question a difficult one to answer, for
obvious reasons, and was obliged to
make checking estimates from vari-
Gus points of departure. 1t was
known, for instance, that the amount
of opium and it's derivaties legiti-
mately imported in year is sufficient
for 100000 average doses, and that
the amount of cocoa leaves and CO.
caine similarly brought into the
country annually would make $685.
100000 average doses. Since the
amount of habit-forming drugs
brought in illegitimately is known to
be very small the service took the
