tting. loss Of appetite. diaFrhea and abdominal pain. Children are likely to have fever. but adults may not have this symptom.
 The most important factor in treatment for the condition is to give the digestive tract rest until the offending material has been re- moved. No solid food should be give en. If vomiting is severe. give noth- ing but cracked Zee in small amounts to cuench thirst. Sometimes an ice bag on the throat or on the stomach wtll help to control vomiting.
 MAY PROVE SERIOUS
 A digestive disturbance may prove to be quite a severe Illness, and it is always wise to seek a doctors advice ia the beginning rather than to walt until the patient is badly weakened from loss Of food.
 When the doctor orders liquid diet, hot weak tea. hot water with q little lemon juice. or hot bouli- lon are usually tolerated better than anything else at first. The commercial cubes. either beef or chicken flavor. are convenient for this purpose because they can be prepared quickly and in small amounts.
 Clear soups and strained fruit juices with very little sugar may be given if the patient prefers them. Although milk is usually included in liquid diet. it is frequently not as acceptable as other liquids when digestion is disturbed. because it has a tendency to cundle in the stomach and may not be retained.
 Some doctors permit the patient to have casbonated beverages such as ginger ale and cola drinks but these should not be given without a phygicianis advice.

Crisis Looms In
Truck Tire Supply

The truck tire crisis, long recog-
nized as probability, appears to be
arriving in August, according to
Harold G. Bogart, District Admins
traitor of the Toledo Office of Price
Administration.
This shortage is in bus and truck
tires of size 8.25 and over. 1t nor
mally takes about 435, 1000 truck and
bus tires a month to supply the
National demand. For the month of
July the National allotment was
$4,000. For the month of August
the Rubber Director has allotted
OPA only 10000 large size bus and
truck tires for rationing.
This drastic cut is caused by the
extremely heavy demand OF our
military forces to whom 98et of all
II and IA inch tires have been al
Iotted; the greatly increased need in
the number of large size airplane
tires, resulting in diversion of avail
able material and manpower for their
manufacture; and a shortage of
skilled labor for manufacturing
large size heavy duty tires.
On the current issuance basis,
buses alone would use approximately
II of the quota allotted. In addition
to the buses, there are the vast fleets
of trucks transporting munitions,
food, petroleum and other commodi-
ties essential to the war program.
Obviously, in view of the small
August allotment, some trucks and
buses are going to be forced off the
road.
Bogart stated that in view of the
fact that there will be available less
than IL tires per Rationing Board
on the average, much higher stand
ards of essentially must be applied
to bring about more careful screen
ing. Each District OPA Office will
set up a District Tire Board selected
from members of the present volun-
tary tire panels to which will go
the approved application from local
Board Tire Panels. The District Tire
Boards will have the extremely diff
ficult job of finally allotting the few
available tires.

Heg-nose Snake Has Reputation

thrown around and subjected to all
kinds of maltreatment but still it
hangs limp and apparently lifeless.
But for one little flaw in its role
as a corpse, this Third Act would be
a huge success. 1t is the fact that
when the serpent is playing dead, If
he be placed upon his stomach in a
crawling position, he Immediately
rolls over on his back and becomes
limp.
Apparently he believes that the
only position for dead snake Is
flat on its back. 1t can be tried
over and over again, but he will al
ways roll over, thus betraying him
self.
Because of its hostility, the hog
nose is generally considered as a
deadly species and is known in diff
ferent localities as puff adder,
spreading adder, blow snake, fiat
head and sand viper.
Actually it is very inoffensive and
cannot be forced to bite, altho it
cannot be considered beneficial, as it
feeds almost exclusively on amphi-
bians such as toads and frogs.
However, it should never be killed
for it is rapidly becoming fewer in
number because of its dramatic
actions.
1t is not found in this area but is
said to be fairly common in q
section of Lucas county near Toledo
known as Old Oak Openings.

of hog-nose in the Bluffton News
window, Saturday night. In event
