LONDON. May "a Omitted Press)
Drugs and deadly poisons will win
the next war.
Chemical experts make this state
ment after carrying TO a conclusion
experiments dating back into the
closing hours Of the World War.
They warn the public that an
other world war would be the most
appalling holocaust since the be-
ginning of time.
The warning may have been made
to back up the prediction Of Pre-
mier Lloyd George, who told Amer
lean newspaper men recently at
Genoa that unless the great powers
got together" such a holocaust may
arrive within" the present gener-
alton.
It is admitted that experts have
been experimenting with drugs,
gasses. poisons, air, land and sea
monsters. The next war. when it
comes. will be so terrible, so soaring
to mind and body and soul, that
after It has swept the world bare.
few of the combatants will be left.
Gas, fumes, liquid poisons, fam
ing fire liquids. asphyxiating vapors
poured from high altitude. will be
the prime features when nations
next start wiping each other from
the face Of the earth, these experts
say.

ers. the Woolworth Building, for
instance. could be made to collapse
like a childs pack of cards on the
crowds on Park Row and Broad
way.
one OF these mighty bombs now
being turned out in the United States
would easily account for WOOL
worth's little eight hundred foot pile.
Just as easily. with these. new
weapons of torture could thousands
of men be frizzled to death under
hail Of burning oil dropped from
the skies like a summer rainstorm.
similarly thousands could be just as
1uickly and simply choked to death
by a fog of poison gas, blanketed on
a town of the size of Detroit or
Pittsburgh, in the space of one and
a half minutes.
There will be no declaration Of
war. army men believe, when the |

Favoring the Farmers.

Real estate in South Carolina wa:
assessed for taxation in 1918. Al
that time property values had great
ly increased, a smeasured in dollars
The State Tax Commission is mo-
the assessing agency. It's duty is tt
equalize the assessments of all prop
erty SO that each county shoulc
make, in proportion to its value, the
contribution in taxes to the state
that other counties make.
The assessments of cotton mills
packing houses, power companie:
and of most corporations have beer
subjected to larger increases thar
have lands and houses. The bulk OF
the income and gasoline taxes will.
not be paid by farmers. That every
n knows. The state tax levy has
been reduced from IL mills to Z 1-2
mills.
In substance, attack on the State
Tax Commission and policies advised
by it, together with the policy pur.
sued by the last legislature, is
equivalent to attack on the policy Of
relieving farmers of as much of the
burden of taxation as possible.
The state tax levy is but a mill or
a mill and a half higher now than it
was in 1914, notwithstanding the
general increase in prices and costs
and Notwithstanding that millions
of dollars have been expended on the
state hospital and on numerous edu-
cational and charitable institutions.
The plain truth is that the policy
pursued by the state at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature greatly fav-
ored the farmers as a class and the
danger is that departure from it
would necessarily throw back upon
the farmers a larger share Of the
burden than they are now bearing.
Never in the history of South Caro-
lima has the disposition to help the
farmers been so strong and never be-
fore has so much been accomplish
ed in this direction. 1t is not short of
astounding that any farmer in the
state imag:nes the contrary.-The
State.

People Who Flout the Law.

This is a record taken on the
seventy-eight miles of road between
Spindale and Charlotte on a recent
afternoon and night, and in it is es-
tablished a graphic illustration Of
the general Indifference to the law,
the rules of the road and the safety
of people who us the highways:
Failures to blow horns at curves,
eight out of ten; failures to dim
lights. nine out of ten; without lights
entirely, trucks q, autos IL; autos
with one headlight, g; road hogs,
forcing people into ditch, overtaken
or passed, Z.
1t was found by experimentation
that most drivers bowling along
would dim their lights in response to
the approaching auto, but in no case
was the rule observed except when
the example was set. The increasing
disposition to bounce along the
highways at night with only one
headlight flashing is a circumstance
hard to explain. Why the use of one
light only? There is no economy in
it and it is a source of danger not
only to the driver of the single-shot
car, but to all travellers meeting it.
Care was taken to observe whether
the light was invariably used on the
left side, and it was found that no
| standard obtains. The right hand
light was dark as frequently as the
left. The only explanation of the
springing up Of this dangerous and
abominable custom is that people do
it just because it is against the law.

State Flag Must be Placed in
Every Public School
Building.

One of the acts of the last legis-
lature now on the statute books of
local and general interest in these
days when there is considerable dis
cussion and agitation of having the
United States flag placed over every
school building relates to the dis
play of the state flag Of South Caro-
lima, the banner on which is emblaz-
oned the old Palmetto tree and the
coats of arms of the commonwealth.
In the acts and resolutions just is
sued from the state printer, section
1843 of the civil code Of 1912, vol
ume 1, is amended to read as fol

Keeping Well in August: How
to Prevent Typhoid and
Malaria.

From August to November typhoid
fever is usually more prevalent than
during any other time of the year
and should be especially guarded
against. The best means of proven
ton are home sanitation and vacci-
nation. Sanitary, fy-proof priv!es,
safe wtaer supplies, and clean food
will prevent the spread of the dis
ease in the home and community, but
eyeryon should be vaccinated in
order to be protected against ty-
phoid carriers and the danger of
catching the disease while away
from home. Typhoid vaccination is
safe and simple. 1t is given by a n.y.
podermic (beneath the skin) and
does not produce a sore. Three dos
es of the vaccine taken at intervals
of a week or ten days are necessary
for protection; the protection lasts
from two to five years. Many state
boards Of health supply the vaccine
free of cost, though it is not eXpen-
sive when bought. The family physi-
clan should be consulted in regard
to having every member of the fam
lily, from the youngest to the Oldest
yacc:nated against typhoid fever.
Malaria is also more prevalent du-
ring the late summer and the au-
tumn months. In malarious commune
ties protection can be secured by
small discs of quinine taken daily.
Drainag. and the destruction of the
breeding places of mosquitoes (al-
ways standing water) should not be
overlooked as a of perma'
nently Kidding a district from chills
and fever.
Personal hygiene during the hot
months will do much to lessen the
d~isagreeable effects Of the heat,
aside from eating plenty of fruits
and vegetables and a decreased
amount of meat and the wearing OF
suitable clothing, a clean body is the
best means of keeping fit and cool.
Bathing with soap and water after
the days work to remove perspira-
ton and dirt, the lodging places OF
germs, is important. Keeping clean
should be made a habit. The hair
and scalp should also be washed at
regular intervals at least once a
week during the summer; and the
hair should be brushed thoroughly
every day to remove any excess
scales of acknowledgements

Snake Bites: What to Do.

Snake Bites: What to Dc.
"What snakes in the Southern
United States are poisonous and
what are the symptoms and especial
|ly the treatment of bites from such
snakes??" asks another subscriber.
The bites OF copperheads, water
moccasins, coral snakes and rattle
snakes are poisonous; the bite from
a small snake is not as poisonous as
a bite from a large snake of the
same species. Snake venom, which
contains the poison, is a thin, green
ish yellow fluid of characteristic
odor. The deaths from bites of pois-
onous 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
intense pain, discolored swelling OF
the bitten part and profound distur-
Dances Of the circulatory and and
nervous system. There is great weak
ness and prostration, nausea, and a
profuse flow Of saliva. Muscular pa
ralysis may occur in from three to
four hours. Inconsistencies is rare,
but the patients often fall into a
stupor.
AS soon as possible after the bite
has occurred, a band made OF a
handkerchief or some similar article
should be applied a few inches above
1.-THE wound, between it and the heart,
! and twisted with a stick to prevent
the poison being carried into the sys-
tenn by the circulating blood. The
bites of most snakes consist of but
two punctures; these should be free
lv incised with a knife and then suck
ed. There is no danger in sucking
the wound if there are no cracks or
sores in the mouth or on the tongue.
AFTER the would has been sucked 1T
should be cauterized by applying
carbolic or nitric acid on the end of
a stick, such as a match. Or cauter-
ization may be done by heating a
nail, knife blade, or some such ar
ticle and freely burning all parts OF
the wound.
After the wound has been sucked
and cauterized, the bandage may be
.loosened. It should be allowed to re-
main loose for one minute and then
be frightened up again. If no alarm
ing symptoms have developed within
20 minutes it may b. loosened again,
this time for two minutes, after
which it should be frightened again.
After another period of 20 minutes
the bandage should be loosened for
three minutes. This procedure should
be kept up for several hours, grad
ually increasing the time the ban
dage if 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
symptoms of weakness develop, the
patient must be given stimulants. 1t
is commonly believed that large dos
es of whiskey or alcohol in some
form should be administered. This IS
a serious mistake, as the alcohol will
do harm by addinng another depres-
SAINT to that which is already in the
system.
Instead of whiskey it is better to
give aromatic spirits of amonia, one-
half t%easpoonful in water every hour,
and half a cupful of very strong
coffee every two hours.
Of recent years serums have been
produced which are very effective in
certain kinds of snake bites, but
they are rarely obtainable when most
needed.-Dr. Washburn, in The
Progressive Farmer.
