At the fall election a new proposal to reduce the property tax will be presented. This is the socalled 20-mill tax limitation amendment to the constitution.

We can't have ' these things unless we raise the money to pay for them With the present income from the property tax this is a very difficult thing to do. If that income is cut nearly in half, obvi ously the maintenance of state, city and local government, as we know it, will be impossible. De we wish to make that sacrifice for the sake of an immedi ate and flat reduction in the property taxt Do we wish to close our schools, give up adequate police and fire protection, aban don the repair and maintenance of streets and roads T That is what the people will have to decide when they so to the polls and vote on this measure.

Dr. Dud ley Jackson of Aan Antonio and Dr. W. T. Harrison of tha V. B. Public Health Service hav shown that It la possible to remove consider- abla venom from the tissue by suc tlon. But they consider a n 1 1 venln a valuable remedy, aa It the only known substance tha will neutralize venom when once venom has been absorbed, and It la Impossible .to prevent some ab sorption of tha venom In the case of snakebite, no matter how prompt ly incisions are made or how care. fuily auction la applied. Theae Investigators advlaa the fol lowing treatment: Release all tight tourniquets and replace them by one Just tight enough to obstruct the lymph circulation and not the free venous return. Under novocain make a large crosa cut at the fang marks. Make a circle of secondary cross cuts by Inch about three Inches from the original wouna. in these small Incisions In ject several hundred 0. 0. (perhaps nan a pint) or 1 per cent salt solu tlon and apply suction over the or iginal wound to wash out the dl luted venom. Continue thla suction for an hour. Every hour for 10 to IS hours repeat the auction, using cupping over first one Incision and then another. For tha auction smaU rubber bulb with Inverted glass runnel may be used. A considerable quantity of venom can be extracted In this way every hour, and besides some fluid leaks from tha wound be tween suctions. If the swelling pro greases, make a bracelet of V. Inch crlas-croaa Incisions around the blith est point of the swelling, and a new inclalon where this fluid has col lected In large quantities. In most cases not enough Incisions are made and the auction la not con tinued long nough. Morphine for pain, stimulants when indicated. Injection of lariro Quan tities of normal salt solution, and blood transfusion may be neceasarv in oasea where medical treatment la late. Between treatments the limb should be kept dressed with hot wet dress ings of normal salt plus sodium cit rate, the citrate favors tha outflow of venous serum. Theae Investigators have tasted aev tral of tha popular remedies for snake bite, particularly magnesium sulphste and glycerin packs, choral hydrate alum and gunpowder, kerosene and finally permanganate of potash. All of these remedies proved useless, and the permanganate la Ukely to cause serious swelling and alougblng al most aa bed aa the anakeblte Itself The better drug stores have antl venln in stock In regions where rat tlesnakes occur. By following the directions on the package anyone can Inject the antidote. As antlvenin keeps Indefinitely, a package may be carried In the emergency kit; or if you are going on a abort trip In snake country the druggist will rent a pack age for a fraction of the cost. If you have antlvenin at hand It la better NOT to apply a tourniquet but inject the dose at once and let It enter the blood atream. if no antlvenin is at hand (It Is effective If given within an hour or two) probably the best treatment la immediate criss-cross cuts through the fang marks Just through the depth of the skin (4 Inch deep) and perhaps inch long, and immediate suction with the mouth. Also bind something tightly around the limb above the wound, but loosen this a few seconds every five minutes. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Superstition. When my mother was expecting mc we lived on a farm.
