Glass "Snake."
Ophisaurus ventralis.

Ophisaurus ventraliS.
HEN is q snake not snake?
IA When 1t is lizard, which
NM is the truth about the
Wv glass snake" Because its
form is SO like that Of a
serpent, to the average person 1t Is
snake. To the student it has many
indications that 1t is a lizard. A snake
does not have eyeids or ear openings,
and the broad, overlapping scales on
this creatures body are not capable
of assisting it in crawling, while the
wide scutes Of the snake are.
Along the sides of this snake"
there is a deep fold, which divides the
dark ground color of the back from
the lighter one of the abdomen. This
fold extends from behind the head to
the base of its tail. In fact, where
the line stops is the true beginning OF
the appendage, and it Is two-thirds
of the entire length of the snakes"
body.
The upper color is olive, black or
| brown. There are several brilliant
green spots within each scale and on
the neck. These scales form Lines.
The head is speckled with them. The
under color is pretty greenish-white.
Some of these lizards have so many
spots on the sides Of their bodies
they run together and form stripes.
The total length of th.j creature Is
about 81 inches, when it is fully
grown. OF this length 171a inches
will be the tail. The diameter Is not
over three-fourths of an inch and
the width of the head f1ve-eighths of
| an inch.
This creature has very wide dis
tribution, and no doubt you have seen
some member of its family and
| thought it was most glossy snake.
It is as shiny as glass, and when 1t is
trying to make its escape you are
more anxious to put distance between
| you than you realize.
| However, you need not fear it. It
is well known in the North, though it
is not seen along the Atlantic coast
in its most northern range. In the
East it is common from North Caro-
lima to Florida. In the central part
of the United States Nebraska is its
western limit Many have been seen
| in Wisconsin and Illinois, and it is
also known in Texas and Northern
Mexico.
The glass snake" Is ever hunted
| by the king snake, whose swift move
! ments and powerful jaws make short
work of the slow-traveling lizard.
However, there are many times when
this creature gets the best of his foe.
| That is one sight hope you will have.
A king snake sights his victim NOV
ing slowly from side to side, making
little progress. He moves stealthily
| forward until he comes faces to face
with his prey and makes a lightning
thrust with his head, while the glass
snake" is madly trying to make his
escape.
The king snake is now confronted
with the necessity of getting his din
ner headed downward, so he can

The Hay Diet
New Way to Vibrant Health.
BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY, M. d.

wait till distinctly hungry before eat
ing anything at all at any time.
When hunger distinctly calls, then
we should seek that food or those
foods for which hunger displays a
preference. But always make sure
that these are not in any way refined
or processed or denatured foods, in
other words, be certain these are still
foods capable Of replacing the body
cells and the used body fuels. We
should then understand how the foods
selected should be combined. To IL
lustrate, those foods requiring alkaline
conditions for their digestion should
not be eaten with acid fruits or with
those high protein foods such as
meats, eggs, fish or cheese, that re-
quire highly acid conditions for their
perfect stomach digestion.
. If the foods eaten have been Sc
lected because they are what are most
enjoyed, and combined compatibly, We
will have heard the last of this hated
term indigestion"
Many think of indigestion as inabil-
ity of the bowels to move promptly
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The two have no relation whatever,
except as a constipated condition fol-
lows naturally on indigestion.
When asked If indigestion is pres
ent. many will say: mo, my bowels
move every day" This shows a COM
plete misunderstanding of what in
digestion really is. Even this one
movement a day is constipation, for
the bowels are not nomal unless a
movement occurs after each meal On
this basis We may say that constipa-
ton is universal condition. If right
foods are selected, if they are properly
combined, there will be no indigestion,
and if no indigestion then no consti-
patton, after the body recovers.
Evening star., 1934-11-07

Indigestion occurs chiefly in the
stomach. The results of stomach in
digestion carry over even into the
colon, however. Materials developed
in the upper tract react on each other
in, the presence of the putrefaction
and usual lamentations of the colon,
causing many so-called toxins, much
gas, much discomfort.
If each meal Is eaten Of correctly
combined foods it is safe to say that
Indigestion, as we understand the
term, would vanish. Likewise, much
irritability of temper, many cases of
blues, worlds Of indecision and vac
cillation, much confusion in thinking,
and also much or all physical fatigue!
Many cases Of almost lifelong So
called indigestion have disappeared
with the very first meal eaten in cor
rect combination.
Leaving out the question of acci-
dents, operations, intake of irritating
acids or a1kalies that attack the
mucous membrane of the digestive
tract, we have but two things to con-
slider in the eradication of this pest
of the after dinner period of the day.
These are first the character of the
food and second its manner of COM
bination.
To make sure that we actually need
food and are ready for it we should

After I ruffed the second spade lead,

to play over his face. He evidently
felt that Massa Sims had reckleSsly
overbid his holdings. A reaSSuring
gesture for his partner completed the
inferential cycle.
Wishing to bring matters out into
the open, I asked whether he believed
he could set me. He replied that he
would gladly push an onion with his
nose for a distance of one block along
Broadway If I made the bid.
Such overconfidence could only be
backed by holding of five clubs to the
jack, and the king-jack of diamonds.
I promptly laid down six rounds OF

found himself squeezed. I was able
to discard diamonds from dummy, re-

by surprise.
But news Of his presence spread
rapidly. and new and great fear took
possession of the smaller folk, and
resentment filled the hearts Of some
of the other hunters, like Reddy Fox
and Yowler the Bobcat, for he made
their own hunting just so much more
difficult. He had not one friend
there in the Green Forest. But for
this Spite cared nothing, nothing at

Almost as soon as he had arrived
he had discovered that there were
Grouse living there, and he had licked
his lips in anticipation of many a
good dinner, for he is fond of Grouse
and he knows their ways. Further
more, most of these Grouse were
young and. lacking experience in the
dangers of the Great World, should
be easy to catch, especially as he was
a stranger and they knew nothing of
his ways. So one of the first things
he did was to make himself acquainted
with their favorite places and their
habits, all the time taking care to
avoid being seen by them, that they
might not become suspicious. And at

"send your cat!"
Dick obeyed, though he was sorry
to lose the company of his cat. Be-

house and try to make his living
somewhere else.
Early one morning he set forth,
but he heard church bells ringing
and fancied that they were calling
out:
"Turn again, Wilmington,
Lord Mayor of London"
That fancy led him to return to
the merchants house.

Alice, daughter of the merchant, and
still later he was chosen Lord Mayor
of London.

Dick Wilmington.

THE story of Dick Wilmington and
- his cat is told in all lands where
English is spoken.
An orphan boy, as the tale goes,
made his way from the English
countryside to London. There he
begged for living until merchant
named Fitzwarren gave him work
to do-helping in the kitchen of the
merchants home, and polishing shoes
for the family and the family's guests.
Dick slept in the garret and was
unhappy because the place was over
run with rats. 1t was hard to Sleep
One day visitor gave him penny
and with this coin he bought cat.
Dick took the cat to the garret
and in a short while it killed or
drove away all the rats.

Dear Miss Leeds-I am 10 years old
and I am awfully embarrassed by my
legs, as they are so very fat, while the
rest of my body is ok Do you think
you can help me? Can I reduce them
or is it impossible? L. r.
Answer-Dancing, swimming and
special reducing exercises will help
you. Then, too, you may massage the
legs regularly. Some types have natu-
rally large bones and leg muscles
while others have very slender bones.
Walk on your tiptoes around the room
five or six times every night and morn-
ing. Wear comfortable shoes and take
brisk walk outdoors every day. Prac-
tice dancing steps in your bed room
to suitable music. Massage the ankles,
calves and legs with rubbing alcohol.

The Interest Burden

Few taxpayers realize the enormous interest burdens laid upon their shoulders by the prevailing system of raising money for government uses by selling interest bearing bonds, instead of following the sens ible method of issuing money direct; as will undoubtedly be done when the people come to understand how the money sharks have been bleeding both the government and them- selves.
 As evidence of what bond interest means to the people in tax burdens, may be cited the announcement that when the public debt reached it's peak point of 'twenty-six billion five hundred million dollars re- gently, the interest on it ann ounted to the enormous sum of rine hundred and sixty million dollars annually. Figured down a bit closer, this interest charge amounts to about eighty million dollars a month, or more than two million five hundred thousand dollars a day.
 Huge as these interest pay ment figures are now, they will be even greater by the close of the present fiscal year, when the national debt is eX- pected to reach the stupendous total of thirty-one billion five hundred million dollars, ac- cording to a recent announce ment by President Roosevelt. At 312 per cent, the average interest rate now paid by the government on it's bonded in- debtedness, the interest will amount to approximately one billion one hundred million a year, or more than ninety-one million dollars a month.
 Most of it goes into the pock- cts of a relatively few people, bankers and other money lend CTS, for few of the common peo- pie who pay the interest ever see a government bond, let alone possess one.
 Time and again it has been pointed out by eminent author ities that these tremendous in- terest charges can be avoided by the simple expedient of the government issuing m oney
