lowing emergency treatment to remove the snake venom before it Is absorbed into the body:
 l. The first thing to do is to ap- ply . totrniquet. As the bite Is almost always on the hand, arm or leg, you can tie . handkerchief, . scarf, necktie or any piece of cloth available around the limb above the wound and twist with . stout stick until the circulation of the limb below Is cut of. This will prevent absorption of the poi son into the system.
 2. Take . sarp knife and make . straight cut through both fang puncture wounds and extending . half inch beyond each wound. Then make . cut an inch long across this cut and through each fang wound. Both fang puncture wounds are opened to the bottom. Bleeding helps to wash out the venom.
 3. Pressure around the wound or mechanical suction over it will help. Mouth suction may be used if the mouth and lips are free from sores. The venom Is not readily absorbed through intact mumOus membranes and is des. troyed In the stomach if swallow. cd.
 {. If pcrmanganate of potash ia at hand make . strong solution and wash out the wound from the bottom. Wash several times. This is effective only if done promptly. Fifteen minutes after the bite it is useless t0 use permanganate as the poison has been diffused into the tissues.

 Just what part Burgess Joseph Nygren, former progressive, and now republican representative from the first ward, will play remains tc be seen.
