PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. ID.

found in North America-rattlers, cop
perheads, moccasins, chiehy-are not
nearly so fatal as the popular preju-
dice leads one to imagine. Raymond
l.. Ditmars, curator of reptiles at the
New York Geological Park, asserts
that more than 100 persons have died
from snake bite in the United States
annually for three or four years past,
but he has not heard of a single death
from snake bite in New York, New
Jersey or New England in the last Is
years. In one county in North Caro-
lima, he tells us, three persons died
of rattlesnake bites one Summer. Mr.
Ditmars merely estimates. AS a gen.
eral rule, persons bitten by rattle
snakes soon recover. Fatalities are
certainly rare in proportion with the
number of persons bitten.
A pretty reliable way to distinguish
the venomous snake from the harm
less kind is the shape of the head,
which Is triangular with widened jaws
in the venomous snake and round or
narrow in the harmless varieties. The
venomous snake has a vertical or clip
tical pupil, like a cats, and the harm
less snake a round pupil, like a mans.
The venomous snakes of North Amer
lea are mainly pit Vipers-that is,

side of the head.in front of the eye
while the harmless kind has no such
depressions in the head.
Some of the common, harmless black
snakes and water snakes are useful
because they destroy field vermin,
and certain kinds may be considered
good friends to man because they kill
venomous snakes.
DIR. H. F. Biggar reports in a recent
number of the Central Journal of
Homeopathy that iodine applied in
and about the wound and admins
tered internally is an effective anti
dote for rattlesnake poison. Drop
doses of the tincture of iodine are
given internally every 10 minutes for
the first hour, then every half-hour
for three or four hours.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Aries.

You will, in all probability, expert
ence. on awakening tomorrow. a
sense of eXhilaration, and this feeling
will develop until it assumes a high
degree of optimism and courage. This
will naturally incline YOU to view
everything in manner diSpropor-
tionate to its real and intrinsic value.
and the atmosphere will not change
until late in the evening, when a re-
action will set in, and what was ap-
parently easy of accomplishment will
look difficult. if not impossible. Specu-
1ation and hazard must be avoided
and conservatism must prevail to the
extent of not permitting the wish to
be father of the thought. In the eve
ming poise and q judicial tempera-
ment will obviate nearly all the
doubts and fears that viii arise.
The disposition and character of
the child that is born tomorrow will
cause more worry and trouble than
its health. The signs denote that
normal physical conditions will pre-
vail, and, but for a few slight infan-
tile ailments, it will be practically
immune TO any serious sickness. Its
temperament will be boisterous and
dominating; its character will lack
consideration for others, and it will
not show that quick and ready re-
sponse to love and affection that
causes delight to all parents. It will
be very materialiStic. disposed to gain
its ends regardless of consequences.
Most of these tendencies can be anne
liorated if not eradicated by proper
training and right example.
Is tomorrow your birthday? If so,
you derive great deal of happiness,
although you do not create it for
others, by persuading yourself. in
Ca
are very badly treated and hard done
by" Some hypochondriacal tempera-
ments get enjoyment out of misery,
just as many women love a good cry
when there is nothing about which to
cry. and they forget that giving way
to exaggerated forebodings does them
no good, while it creates an atmos-
phere of unpleasantneSs for those who
surround them. Life is not all beer
and skittles. but neither is it alto
gether a dreary, drab waste, unless
we make it so.
You are gifted with q fair amount
of intellectually, possess perseyer-
ance and are imbued with high ideals.
If you could only school yourself to
take the rough with the smooth. and
not expect too much consideration
from others; If you could only force
yourself to think less of your own
petty grievances and more of others
feelings, living would be easier and
your surroundings would be more
che eerful
Well known persons born on this
date are: Joseph Hadley. educator
and scholar; Samuel B. Maxcy, soldier +
