SNAKE BITES: WHAT TO DO

"What snakes in the Southern Uni
ted States are poisonous and what are
the symptoms and especially the treat
ment of bites from such snakes?"
asks another subscriber.
The bites of coprerheads, water
moccosins, coral snakes and rattle
snakes are poisonous. The bite from
small snake is not as poisonous as
bite from large snake of the same
species. Snake venom, which contains
the poison, is thin, greenish-yellow
fluid of characteristic color. The
deaths from bites of poisonous snakes
vary from 5 per cent in the case Of
copperheads to about 20 per cent. for
the large rattlers.
The symptoms of snake bite are in
tense pain, discolored swelling of the
bitten part, and profound disturb
ances of the circulatory and nervous
systems. There is great weakness and
prostration, nausea, and profuse
flow of saliva. Muscular paralysis
may occur in from three to four
hours. Unconsciousness is rare, but
the patients often fall into kind of
stupor.
AS soon as possible after the bite
has occurred band made of a hand
kerchief or some similar article should
be applied few inches above the
wound, between it and the heart, and
twisted with stick to prevent the
poison being carried into the system
snakes consist Of but two punctures;
these should be freely incised with
knife and then sucked. There is no
danger in sucking the wound if there
are no cracks or sore in the mouth or
on the tongue. After the wound has
been sucked it should be cauterized by
applying carbolic or nitric acid on the
end of a stick, such as a match. Or
cauterization may be done by heating
a nail, knife blade, or some such arti-
Gle and freely burning all parts of the
wound.
After the wound has been sucked
and cauteriZed, the bandage may be
loosened. 1t should be allowed to re-
main loose for one minute and then
be frightened up again. If no alarming
symptoms have developed within 20
minutes it may again be loosened, this
time for two minutes, after which it
should be frightened again. After an
other period of 20 minutes the band
age should be loosened for three min
utes. This procedure should be kept
up several hours, gradually increas-
ing the time the bandage is off; the
object, is of course to allow only small
quantities of the poison to get into the
system at one time.
If in spite of the local measures and
the use of the bandage general symp-
toms of weakness develop, the patient
must be given 3timularts. 1t is COM
monty believed that large doses Of
whiskey or alcohol in some form
should be administered. This is Sc
rious mistake, as the alcohol will do
harm by adding another depressant |
to that which is already in the system.
Instead of whiskey it is better to |
give aromatic spirits Of ammonia, one
half teaspoonful in water every hour, |
and half cupful of very strong cof- !
fee every two hours.
OF recent years scrums have been
produced which are very effective in
certain kinds Of snake bites, but they
are rarely obtainable when most
needed.-Dr Washbun, in The Pro-
gressive aFrmer.

Community Work

A community is made up Of group
of people who live under the same
laws and have the same interests.
The five principal communities arc:
the home, the city, the county, the
state and the nation. Each one is de-
pendent upon the others to make the
best type of citizen.
Citizens
The Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States de-
clares that call persons born or nat
uralized in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof
are citizens of the United States and
of the state wherein they reside"
The Rights of Citizenship
These rights are civil and political
granted by Federal and state gov
ernments:
1. The right to vote and hold of
fee.
2. The protection of the law.
3. The protection on the high seas
and in foreign lands.
Good Citizens
1. They must be just and honest
in their private and public business.
2. They must respect the law and
uphold it.
3. They must take an interest in
politics.
4. They must do all they can to bet
ter the conditions of the community.
Duties of Voter
Voting is the right to express your
will in political matters.
Party organization is separate from
government organization, but it is AZ
old as the United States Constitu-
ton itself.
The two old parties are the Demo-
cratic and Republican. You should be
loyal to your party, but only SO long
as that party has the best interest of
the country in view.
Remember:
1. 1t is your duty to vote.
2. You must understand the ques-
tions upon which you are called to
vote.
3. You must vote for good meas
ures-those that will make the COM
munity better place.
a. You must neither give nor re-
ceive bribe.
b. You must vote for the best in
terests of the country rather than for
those of any party.
6. You must recognize the result of
the election as the will of the people.
7. You must uphold the law.
3. If you think law is sad, YOU
should not break it, but you should try
to have it changed.
Local Work
The work of each community varies
according to its needs, but every COM
munity, city and country-does all, or
nearly all, of the following things
for the benefit of the citizens:
L. 1t keeps the peace and good
order.
2. 1t builds public schools and pays
the teachers,
q. 1t cares for the public health.
d. 1t helps the poor and unfortun-
ate.
s. It licenses trade; assesses and
collects taxes. ss q z - ss;,

Broody Hens Lay No Eggs
How to Break the Habit

When hens become broody they
should be broken up" as quickly
as possible. The sooner this is
done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break a hen of broodi-
ness she should be confined to a
small coop raised off the ground,
preferably with slat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink. She
may be fed or not, as desired. Not
much difference will be found in
the time required to break her OF
broodiness, whether she is fed or
made to fast.

A CHANCE FOR THE so-eoEs

The Hoosiers say that every man in

Nineteenth Amendment they probably

to claim, too, that GAS Indiana goes.
so goes the Union which pleased
the Hoosiers and was not unduly
annoying to any section of the public

there were several. In any event, In

siderable time, and certainly politics
was, and is, fayorite vocation. avoca-

and practice of a large percentage of
the population.
There always Is some politics stir

The Hoosiers like to hear political

on the basis of political knowledge
rather than because of political enthu

Fundamentally the real Indianians

quantity of fine charcoal before the
chicks in open feeders. 1t is not
necessary to mix charcoal with the
mash.'
Roup Is said to be caught by the
chicks from mature stock, and not
passed on by heredity, through the
egg. For poultry owners with roup
in their laying stock, special pre-.
cautions are advised. In some
cases, it may be wise not to let the
person who attends to the chicks
enter the henhouse, or come in con.
