Does Your Back Ache?
Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many Seward Folks.

Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many # Seward Folks.
 Is that dull, constant backache making you old and miserable? Does your back throb and ache until it seems you just can't keep going? Do you suffer headaches, dizzy spells and urinary disorders; feel weak, tired and worn-out? Then look to your kidneys. Delay may mean seri- ous kidney sickness! Use Deans Pills--a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Doan's are recommended by thousands.
 Claude Nutter, s. 3rd St., Monte sano, Wash, says: "The hardships which I endured in the woods is what affected my kidneys and caused kidney complaint had severe catches in my back when I got down. My kidneys acted too often annoy ing me at night. I always used Doan's Pills at these times and they knocked the pain out of my back and put my kidneys in healthy condi- tion."

Everybody was hugely concerned with

A few people seemed to regard Lord

Our Friend the Snake.

Instinct is stronger than reason in
an emergency, and prejudice seems
stronger than instinct. Many obser-
vations have proved that the common
fear of snakes is not instructive, but
a matter of education. Infants show
no such fear until they have been
taught by their elders that snakes
are to be feared. The less one knows
about snakes the more one fears them.
People who know much about snakes
have no fear of any kind of snake,
though they have respect for the ven
omous kinds and they know whether
snake is of the venomous kind when
they see it. PeoHle who are well in
formed in this brtnch of natural his
tory not only feel no fear or repulsion
for the common snakes but often ad-
mire the beauties of snakes and even
cultivate beautiful specimens as pets.
/ don't know enough about snakes
myself to be able TO understand this,
but l know enough about snakes to
realize that they are our friends and
that it is cruel to kill them wantonly,
as so many people do.
People so stepped in ignorance of
nature as TO believe that mosquitoes
develop from nothing but the shade of
tall grass, weeds or underbrush are
likely to believe that the forked tongue
Of the common, harmless snake is a
"stinger," and the deeper their igno-
rance the harder 1t is to make them
understand the righteousness of that
notion or the Righteousness of the no.
ton that mosquitoes or any other form
of life can arise spontaneously or
without parentage. The tongue of a
snake has nothing to do with the
fangs. The venomous type of snake
bites with his fangs. long sharp teeth

teeth the venom or poison Is injected
into the wound made by the fang or

case of snake bite, according to au-
thorities with experience:
/. Twist a bandage or handkerchief
around the limb about the bite, as a
torniquet, to delay the spread of the
venom through the circulation.
@ Cut into the punctures left by
the fangs with a razor, or a penknife,
or a piece of glass, or n sharp pin, or
anything which will induce bleeding,
to wash out as much of the venom
as possible.
8. Suck the wound for several min
utes, to draw out more of the venom.
a. Rub into the wound some crys
tails of potassium permanganate, or,
better, if possible, inject into the tis-
sues around the wound u hyperdermic
syringeful of / or 2 per cent solution
of the perma nganate IN boiled water.
This is not an 'antiseptic," but an
active oxidizing agent, the oxidation
destroying the venom in the tissues.
5. OF course, burning gun powder
on the wound or cauterizing or scar
ing with a red-hot iron, if imm mediately
done, is the most effective way to de-
stroy the venom III the tissues, short
of excision of the mass involved.
6. Hot, strong coffee is the best
stimulant or a half teaspoonful of
aromatic spirits of ammonia in little
cold water every half hour, but never
whisky. No stimulation of this kind
is necessary unless the patient be-
comes pale, dizzy or stuporous.
Z. A serum antidote called anti
venene, discovered by Calmette, has
been found effective in treating pois-
oning by rattlesnake bite. cobra bite
and other venOmous snake bites. Such
serum is obtainable in a few hospitals,
and is produced in the Institute of
Serum Therapy, Butantan, Sac Paulo,
Brazil.
s. Aside from the specific measures
mentioned, the treatment and care of
the wound should be as nearly aseptic
as possible: that is, the same treatment
one would give an ordinary wound.
9. The torniQuet should be loosened
for a few seconds after the first Is
minutes and again every five minutes,
to prevent modification.
10. Hypodermic injections of adre-
naline solution are probably an aid to
the destruction of the venom in the
blood.

So she planned to get up very early
in the morning in order to get her
breakfast and find her way TO the
hall to register for the opening ses-
sion.
When she woke the hotel furniture
stood out indistinctly in the half
light of early morning.
I'll wait just a little while longer
till it gets light" she reflected, and
lay there pleasantly anticipating the
days events.
But it.didn't get light very rapidly
so finally she jumped out to see what
after eight! She turned toward the
an airshaft, which she hadn't noticed
the night before. No wonder it
didn't get light.
Rushing around the little room, she
hurriedly dressed. What would
Clara say if she knew that mother"
who was always up first at home,
had oversight?
Fully dressed for the street she
went to the door. But the key
wouldn't turn in the lock. Fran
tically she attempted to turn it to
the right and to the left, but with
no success.
What should she do? Locked
thus in her hotel bedroom she would
miss the opening session, the national
officerss the speeches. Oh, of course,
there was the telephone! She called
the hotel desk. They would send
some one right away.
Some one" came in due time and
made strange sounds on the other
side of the door. The little lady kept
telling herself that she would be out
directly so she mustn't worry But
it takes so long to pry off a lock
when one is on the other side of
the door and in a hurry.
At last the door was open, and a
very much fiustered, excited little
lady rushed out, to call for a taxi
and dash off without her breakfast.
