POISONOUS SPIDERS
KILL HUNDREDS YEARLY
Dewdly Tarantula Scourge of Tropical
Countries.
"The Tarantula," the Vitagraph
Blue Ribbon Feature to be shown at
the Star theatre, on Sunday and Mon
day is well named. The title role of
the story is played by one of the large
spiders which are, so feared in trop
ical countries.
The disease tarantism has been at-
I tributed to this species of the spider
although no authentic proof of this
fact has ever been secured.
Unlike most of his kind, the ta
rantula weaves no web in which to
ensnare his prey, but seeks it like
other larger animals. His home is a
hole burrowed in the ground with a
silky lining in order to protect him
self from being hemmed in by pieces
of falling earth.
These spiders, which are about the
size of a walnut, are the scourge of
the countries in which they are
found and their bites have been fatal
in a great many instances. The poi
son glands are concealed in the low
er region of the head from where the
fifhgs protrude.
It is said that the only cure for the
bite of a tarantula is dancing or spme
similar violent exercise, which will
exhaust the victim and cause them
to perspire. In this way the poison
leaves the system and their chances
of recovery Increase accordingly.

marvelous freaks of nature, and it is
invested with a beauty and grandeur
that is almost overpowering to the
beholder. Crater Lake is big enough
to pull travelers around the world to
visit it. These tourists scatter money
along every trail.
But they are not coming as they
should. Neither are Oregon doodIo
going to the lake as they should.
Therefore we suggest that every
Oregon Commercial Club or Chamber
of Commerce organize a "Crater
Lake Club" and immediately sign up
members to visit the lake this year by
auto or train and stage line. Organ
ize parties to go both ways.
Every visitor will be glad he made
the trip, and glad to boost for Crater
Lake in the future.
Then follow up the visit by having
each person send out at least 100
picture post cards to friends, writing
on the card something like the fol
lowing: "I was there. Crater Lake is the
most marvelous sight in America.
Good hotel there now."
Will you organize such a club?
Will you do it this week?
Will you write me about this as
soon as possible? I will send yon
printed matter about the lake if it
will help you.
There is a fine hotel there, well
managed, at from $2.50 to $4.50 per
day American plan. Tent camp fa
cilities can be had much cheaper.
Special rates will be made for parties.
A good auto road runs to the lake,
and an auto stage meets trains at
Medford and Klamath Falls. The
fare for the round trip from Med
ford is $12.50. The same from Klam
ath. Sincerely yours.
