A TRUE
SNAKE STORY
1t is Entirely Too Realistic to
Be Mentioned in the
Headlines.

LARNED, Kan, Aug. 5.-Enoch
Chase had peculiar experience
while taking the logs out Of the old
dugout on Mel Hicks south eighty.
He ran across joint snake down be-
tween the logs and hit It with his
spade. or course every joint fle"
apart and started to wiggle off.
Enoch. just for joke, picked up
one Of the joints and put it in a buck
ct and then slipped behind the logs
and waited to see what would hap
pen. In about ten minutes he heard a
sort Of low whistle and then n rust
ling. The head Of the Joint snake
came out OF the woods and looked
around. 1t then made peculiar
whistle and another joint backed up
and fastened on to the head.
The head whistled twice and joint
No. 2 came out, and so on, so many
whistles for each joint, until 1t came
time for the one Enoch had in the
bucket. At its call the thing thrashed
around in the bucket like all possess
ed, but couldn't get out OF course,
without the joint that fit, the snake
couldn't get together
Enoch said the last he saw Of It
the head had taken charge of one-half
and the tail the rest and had gone in
different directions to hunt up the
missing Joint. Enoch got almost home
with his Joint when an automobile
footed down the road. This either
scared the Joint or 1t was its coupling
on signal. for Enoch says it managed
to flop out CT the bucket and get
away in the tall grass.

WARNING ISSUED
AGAINST WATER
IN STREAMS
Or. JepSOn Advises Concern
ing Care to Be Observed
ON Vacation Trips.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 5.-Dr, S. l..
Jepson, state commissioner Of health,
has given the press a statement on the
Importance Of securing pure drinking
water and sharpely Critcising those
who pollute streams without regard
to the health of those living farther
down the waterways.
Want OF care, he said. is the cause
Of much sikncss, and he endorsed a
statement Of Dr. Samuel g. Dixon,
health commission Of Pennsylvania,
in which vaCationists are urged
to be especially careful regarding
their drinking water supply. DR..
Dixon goes so far as to urge that
when people go from the cities into
the country for a short visit at this
season they should take a supply OF
pure water with them.
"Our streams, once undefiled by
man, ran from the mountains to the
sea in all Of natures purity They
ran through our valleys and meadows
in all their pristine beauty, and
offered to all animate nature that
which would innocently QuenCh the
thirst of man and beast and help
them live. Today it is not so, Man
relentlessly, regardless Of his
brother down stream, now throws his
waste and that of domestic animals
into the waters flowing nearest his
home" says DR., Dixon.
in that with which nature has
endowed much Of our territory more
richly that many other countries, we
now find lurking poison has been
hidden, in some cases only to be
seen by the aid Of the microscope.
Now is the season when we travel
through the country to be happy and
lay up energy and strength for the
toll Of the coming winter. The want
Of Intelligence and care makes us
deaf to the teaching Of preventive
medicine and we quench our thirst
at the stream we run across regard
less OF Its purity, and often the
sparkling tumbler Of water is only to
be compared with the draught Of the
deadly hemlock. The parchcd lips
have been moistened ana the thlTSt
satisfied, but the day Of judgment
too often comes. bringing the de-
velopment Of typhoid fever which IN
years past we could only compare
with some OF the plaques that
ravaged our ancient cities
Those Of us who collect, tabu-
late, and have ever before us the
statistics that show the suffering
and sorrow that still continue from
typhoid fever, beg you to awaken to
that which causes so much distress.
By proper care 1t can be avoided.

The production Of rice shows the
greatest increase, being 5000 per
cent. and barley comes second with

toes have increased in production AS
