Expert Says Rattlers
Strike Without Warning

Post, TeXas.-Rattlesnakes don't
always rattle warning before
they strike, says ]. e. Adams, who
has hunted them for ten years.
A RATHER will run a few yards
from trouble then turn and fight
until he is dead, Adams has OBJ
served. Young snakes will run into
the mouths OF their mothers when
frightened, he said.
During his ten years at the dam
gerous sport Adams has had many
of the poisonous snakes strike at
him, but none has ever bitten him.
Many have brushed his head or his
hand as they have str1ck and
missed
His only weapon is 7-foot pole
with a hook on one end and two
prongs on the other. He catches
the snakes for museums, circuses
or laboratories. 1t is no trouble for
him to get dozen or so of them.
He carries no serum for emer-
gency. His pocket knife would be
his only medicine-to slash the af-
fected part and let the poison out"

HERBS ARE STILL,
USED in MEDICINE
st. Louis Is Headquarters of
the Industry.

st. Louis.-"Yarb doctors" and
their strange connections have dis
appeared as a result of the swift
march of science, but the gathering
of herbs and roots for use in MAX
ing medicine remains as thriving
occupation in the United States.
Recognizing the curative or heal
ing value of many of the homely
remedies brewed from mandrake,
snake root o. burdock, modern man.
ufacturers of medicine rely upon
these and other herbs and roots as
the sources Of ingredients for many
medicines which are sold today over
the counters of drug stores.
Tons of herbs and roots arc
shipped annually to st. Louis, which
is the chief market of this kind
for domestic manufacture. The
gatherers of herbs and diggers of
roots, scattered through all parts of
the country, receive many thousands
of dollars annually.
st. Louis commission merchants
say that many of them earn a live
lihood solely by this occupation
which is reminiscent of other days.
Plants, trees and weeds growing In
their wild state are the chief ingre-
dents of medicine, but some species
of plants are cultivated for the mar
ket.
Even the leaves of jimson weeds
merely pests to many farmer
can be sold for five cents a pounu.
From these leaves is obtained an in
gredient for a medicine to treat ca
tarrh.
Slippery elm bark is bought for
use in making medicine for bronchi-
tbs and dysentery, and frequently
large consignments are exported to
England for use by manufacturing
firms there.
The greatest demand is for the
roots of wild mandrake. Eugene
Donzelot, a commission merchant,
who has dealt in herbs and roots for
years, said thousands of tons of
mandrake-also known as mayapple
are sold in the st. Louis market
annually.
Many Indian doctors" who
travel about the country with their
shows obtain their medicine herbs
and roots in ST. Louis, Mr.. Donzelot
said.

ARMY HERO HOME.
FINDS WIFE WE'D
Shell Shocked War Veteran
Rcgains Memory.

Vienna.-It took Joseph Meirer,
sergeant in the Austrian Eighty
fourth infantry, fifteen years to get
home after the war.
He walked into the Vienna police
headquarters, snapped to salute and
reported his return, the last Wen
nese prisoner of war.
A week before the armistice was
signed, Sergeant Meirer, while on
outpost duty, was buried by a sud-
den explosion. He was dug out
senseless by French sappers and
carried to one of their dressing sta
tions, where it was found that he
had lost power of speech and men,
DRY.
After eighteen months in French
hospitals he finally found himself
in Moroccan military cantonment.
There he began slowly to recover
the power of speech. He was dis
missed half cured after several
months.
He worked for a time rs a help
er in a French munitions plant.
Later, he says, he was back in
Tunis working as master mechan-
ic. In the meantime he had learned
French perfectly and was quite sat
isfied with his job.
In Meirer's twisted account there
appears to. have been an interim
when he was a fireman in the Gre
matory at Sid Bel Abes. Then he
got job as fireman on a freighter
bound for Singapore.
1t was there in February, 1892,
that his memory came back to him
naturally and without the usual
attendant strain.
Stranded and without a cent, he
finally reached Constantinople. From
there he walked to Vienna.
Sfeirer's wife is now married to
another man. His children refused
to recognize him-shabby, stutter-
ing, old-their war-hero father. His
friends have moved away. His job
is gone.
He is no longer a man without
country, but he finds little happi-
ness in it.

Electric Car Gives Way
to Motor Bus in Texas

Fort Worth, Texas.-In much the
same way that horse-drawn trolleys
years ago gave way to electric cars,
here, so the electric cars are giving
way to motor BUSES.
Thirty per cent of the entire trac.
ton system Of Fort Worth now is
motorized. AS electric trolleys wear
out, they are replaced by busses, so
that within a short while the entire
system will be buses.
Fort Worth is the second large
Texas city to inaugurate abandon
ment of electric cars. San Antonio
already has entirely replaced cleo
trio trolleys with buses.
Cheaper operation of busses, lack
of need of expensive trackage, and
faster service are the reasons given
for the transition.

Texas Cotton Grower
Is Vexed by Nudists

Fort Worth, Texas.-Whether nu-
dism will affect the prices of wool
and cotton is one of the worries the
practice gives to Arnett West, con-
tributor to the open letter column
of the Fort Worth Press.
"Nudists - the letter began. "God
made yon to be white. just as he
did the negro to be black and brown.
Try to be as you are born.
"Will this he another case for
slump in wool and cotton when
these animals become as hairy as
dogs :"

3-YEAR HONEYMOON
GLOBE TRIP MAPPED
Couple VIII Take Ushers
as Ships Crew.

Chicago. - An around-the-world
honeymoon cruise in 50-foot
schooner, to last three years, is be-
ing planned by two young society
people. They will take their we'd
ding ushers along as a crew.
Mary Jane Falcon, Northwest
ern coed, and Robert G. Leffingwell,
well-known commercial artist, will
be married at the brides home in
Evanston in the fall. Then, ac-
companied by three companions,
they will leave for Tarpon Springs,
Fla, to outfit their boat, and obtain
practical experience in salt water
navigation. On January 1 they
will begin their three-year trip of
following the sun around the world.
To Seek Shark Fight.
Among the many purposes of the
trip is research work, to be done
for the Field museum. Deep sea
diving apparatus will be taken
along, and Mr.. LeffingweH has ar
ranged to photograph South Sea
shark fight under water. This sport
of sharks is similar in nature to a
Spanish bull fight. Sharks are
starved for several weeks previous
to the spectacle, and then a native
boy is thrown into the water. Some
times the boy is destroyed.
Among the important letters of
Introduction which these young
people have obtained, is one to the
king of the Fiji islands. Through
Washington they are getting other
good messages from the ambassa-
doris of the many countries which
they will touch.
The itinerary, as planned, goes
from Florida to Jamaica, from
there through the Panama canal TO
the Galapagos islands and other
South sea spots, where they eX-
pect to spend a year in writing, pho
tographing, painting and deep sea
diving.
VIII Visit Australia.
From the South Sea islands they
are routed by way of the Fiji is
lands to Australia, where they con-
template trip to the interior.
From there they will sail to Sing
apore, Siam and India. They will
touch on the east coast of Africa
and from there sail to Capetown.
They will visit the st. Helen is
lands and pass some time in Rio
de Janeiro. On the way home they
will cover the east coast of South
America and the West Indies and
eventually sail up the Mississippi
to Chicago.
Because this is primarily an aes-
thetic cruise the funnel of the
boat is to be decorated in various
Malaynesian, Fijian, Chinese and
Malayan designs The sails of the
boat will be painted in a rainbow
of blending colors.
Aside from the honeymoon aspect
of the cruise, its chief purpose is
educational. All of the members
are college students and three of the
boys are artists. An exhibit will
be held upon their return of water
colors and oils made in out-of-the-
way places.

Adventures VIII
Hunt African Game

San Francisco.-Miss Ruth 3.
Dane, University of California
graduate. had hardly set foot
ashore here after three years of
adventure and exploration In
out-of-way places of the world
until she announced plans for a
big game hunt in Africa.
Her announcement dashed the
hopes of her family that she
would return home ready to set
tie down.
For the big game hunt, Miss
Dane hopes to enlist five of her
former girl classmates as mem
bers of the expedition.
I Miss Danes latest explorations
were In the wilds of South Amer
lea, where she spent a six
months hiking tour.
