THERE ARE OTHER JOBS MORE PLEASANT
THAN SQUEEZING VENOM
OUT OF SNAKES

Maybe you don't like your job. Maybe you
think yours is the least pleasant task asked of any
fellow. Maybe you're right. But the chances are
your lob is a regular picnic compared to that OF
Dr. Vital Brazil.
His Job is to squeeze the venom out of live
poisonous snakes.
For years South America suffered from the
loss of life by snakebtes. Human beings by the
thousands and domestic animals by the hundreds
of thousands we're killed. Then DR.. Vital Brazil
started his instita1e of Serumthrapy" in the state
Of Sac PaulC, Brazil. Folks were invited to cap
ture poisonous snakes and send them to him, re-
ceiving in exchange antitoxin which cures the
deadliest snake bite. S., f.#'."s# .s'''5 ...'a5..
Railroads transport their snake passengers
Free if the snakes are penned in glass cage jar
The doctor receives his snake visitor grasping it
firmly behind it's head and squeezing it's glands
back of the jaws The venom, light oily liquid
drips slowly from the jaws into glass receptacle
The liquid is evaporated and the crystalline forma
ton is then administered to animals the blood OF
which is taken in two or three weeks, and the anti
toxin is extracted.
The antitoxn is sent free to those who send
in the live snakes from which it's venom start was
obtained Thus lives are saved, thousands of
human beings every year! rrT74 r,
So you see, While DR.. Brazils job isn't the most
pleasing in the world, it is one of the most impor

Ole Hanson is regular Beau Brummep' in

Lewis vests and pink whiskers in thu old days.
In a crowd of laborers he always seems out Of
place until he starts to talk He is not rich, but he
is independent. He gave up moneymaking for a
public career He has been leader of the north
west radical constructive element for 20 years and
has taken part in and messed up, according to his
enemies, more labor and public utility disputes
than any other man from his section of the
|country. Il. So ~ II
Although of Swedish ancestry, he has the i'm
pulsive temperament of an lrishman. He was
born in southern Wisconsin.
He has always taken an interest in politics, has
always been radical and is an orator of abil
Fity He has a personal magnetism equaed by few
men,
When John Wanamaker became contender for
the power of Matthew Stanley Quay and entered
the race for United States senator in Pennsyl-
vania, Hanson was one of the magic men brought
into the east to defeat Quay: He became one of
Wananaker leading spellbinders and spoke in
nearly every county in the state. "=' e..
When F. Augustus Heinze and the other copper
kings of Montana entered in political contest for
control of the state, Hanson favored the ndepend-

the miners meetings handling miners meet

Hanson followed Theodore Roosevelt on the
conservation issue in 1912; in 1916 he was an in
dependent candidate for the senate but was de-
feated by Wesley L. Jones.
The anomaly of Mayor Hanson's position in the
present strike, which has brought him to the fore

always come from labor and the radicals He is
more responsible for city ownership Of streetcars

IT IS BETTER TO BE YOUNG WHEN YOU'RE
OLD, THAN OLD WHEN YOU'RE

Arbslf4 >AN@Gt & kFt1OUNG *&,4TG R1F RI: Oh

of twelve is the startling belief Of Dr. Eugene
Lyman Fisk, director Of the Life Extension Insti-
tute Of New York, as the result of his lifelong
study Of old age, = ; ~. 81. }7'.1'| J." f.''+
IF your mirror, madam, reveals gray hair and
crows-feet, blame not your having passed the age
of thirty Old age imprinted its first whitening
kiss in childhood, though the mark of it's cold lips
was long in showing.
Why do men and women begin to grow old
when they are little more than haf-matured?
You cannot answer that question, for no two
experts agree on why the death rate of young
people has been reduced in the past thirty years
while that of people over IS has increased.
Consider two newborn babes, equal in health,
At 40 one is still youth. The other is a broken
man--if still alive. #G
Two generations ago nearly all men past 20
wore long boards, carried stats and Rugged the
grocery store stove. Grandpa now does war work
and grandma dances and wears short skirts. But
camouflage cannot halt the Grim Reaper nor do
years register the wearing out of the body.
There are $500 people in America over 80 years
of age and 388 who have passed the century mark.
They are the rare exceptions. "
BY lowering the death rate among young folks
have also shortened the average number of years
still coming for those who have passed 25.
The Rubner school of psychologists believe that
death is natural happenng-like the fall of with
cred leaves in autumn. From the observations of
DR.. Fisk our leaves are whitening and falling dead

THESE PHYSICAL DETECTIVES WERE THE
DIRECT RESULT OF CARELESSNESS, ignor-

How can we check this increasing tendency Of
people to die after they are 25?
