THE REFUGIO TIMELY REMARKS
OGARETS CAUSE MAN
TO FALL 16 FEET
Dr. W. W. Gunn, Columbus
dentist, happened to an unfor-
ate accident Wednesday after-
noon of last week. He has his
office in the second story of the
bank building, and a friend had
thrown to him a package of ci-
garets which lodged on a ledge
just below the dentist’s office
window. He crawled out of the
window in an effort to reach the
package, when he lost his foot-
ing and fell to the pavement
In the fall he broke bones in
one or both ankles, broke a bone
in one wrist, and suffered an in-
jury to his skull. The effects of
these several injuries will keep
him from work for several
Weeks.—Weimar Mercury.

A rather portly, elderly wo-
man was puffing rather hard as
she tried to arise from a street
car seat.
“Better eat yeast, mother—
you’ll rise better,” a young col-
legian told her.
Like a flash the country wo-
man came back with: “Try it
yourself, you’ll be better bred.”

At six o’clock she laid out his
dress suit, shirt and studs. He
did not appear. At eleven she
laid out his pajamas. He didn’t
turn. up. At three o’clock he
came in. And then she laid him
out. , ii

POSTAL CARDS NOT
TO BE USED AS DUN
(Eagle Lake Headlight.)
Since the advent of 3-cent
postage on letters, the Postof-
fice Department has been flood-
ed with complaints of the use of
1-cent postal cards to collect
j debts.
H. H. Duncan, postmaster,
points out that it is unlawful for
anyone to deposit in mails any
postal or post card containing a
dun for any overdue account or i
bearing any other matter that
might reflect upon the charac-
ter or conduct of the addressee
such as a threat to,sue or in any
way intimidate the debtor.
Aside from authorizing the
confiscation of such cards found
in the mails, the law provides for
the conviction of the sender with
a fine of not more than $5,000
or imprisonment for not more
than five years or both. Post-
masters have standing instruc-
tions to exercise vigilance in ex-
cluding such unlawful cards
from the mails and to forward
doubtful cases to the solicitor
of the Postoffice Department
for decision.
The law, Mr. Duncan declares,
does not forbid the mailing of
cards bearing respectful re-
quests for the settlement of cur-
rent accounts or that give no-
tice when an account paper, as-
sessment, taxes, gas and electric
bills, etc., will be due. But such
current bills must not contain
notices of balances that have not
been paid.
Creditors, who desire to col-
lect past due accounts by mail,
must inclose their communica-
tions in sealed envelopes with
sufficient postage attached.

EMERGENCY TREATMENT
FOR RATTLESNAKE BITES
(The Hereford Journal.)
Rattlesnake bites are not un-
common on the ranges of the
Southwestern States, and, where
treatment is not prompt, death
sometime results. At the re-
quest of Mrs. J. M. Keith, sec-
retary of the Arizona Cattle
Growers’ Association, Dr. Chas.
T. Vorhies, entomologist of the
University of Arizona at Tuc-
son, has prepared the following
information on the treatment of
rattlesnake bites:
“First of all, discard the idea
of using potassium permangan-
ate. Experiments have proved
that it is worthless in any
strength that one would care to
use.
jhome remedies commonly used.
They are of no value. Do not
cauterize the site of the bite
with strong acids or the like.
“Don’t forget strong black
coffee, and, again, don’t take
whisky or other alcoholic
drink.”
I “Very few bites are quickly
fatal. Most of the fatal bites do
not result in death before 18 to
48 hours, so there is ample time
for treatment.

Deacon Jones was taken sick
and his brethren thought it the
proper thing to post bulletins
concerning his illness.
1. P. M. Deacon Jones is
very sick.
2 P. M. Deacon Jones is get-
j ting worse.
3 P. M. Deacon Jones is ra-
I pidlly Sinking.
4 P. M. Deacon Jones died
and went to Heaven.
A traveling salesman came by
about three hours later and add-
ed this one—
7 P. M. Great consternation
in Heaven, Deacon Jones has
not arrived.
He was subject to fainting
spells, and before starting out
he wrote this note, which he
pinned to his shirt:
To the doctor—If I fall on the
street and am taken to the hos-
pital, do not operate. My ap-
pendix has been removed twice
already.

“Keep cool. Rattlesnake bites
are painful, but only a small
percentage are fatal.
“Apply tourniquet at once be-
tween wound and heart, tight
enough to hinder venous circu-
lation, but not necessarily tight
enough to shut off arterial flow.
A stout band or strip of rubber
is good and can be most quickly
applied.
“Open fang puncture by cross
cuts one-eighth inch deep, with
sharp steril knife. Safety razor
blades are easily carried in ster-
ile package. Suck the wound,
by mouth if necessary. Mouth
must be free of wound or abras-
ions. It is best to have a suc-
tion bulb, or apply suction me-
chanically as soon as possible,
since long-containued suction
has been proved efficacious.
“Loosen tourniquet every 20
minutes.
“If Anti-venin be at hand, ad-
j minister at once according to di~
' rections.
“Keep patient quiet. Give
stimulant if necessary, as in
case of weak heart action or
fainting. Alcohol is not a stim-
ulant. Black coffee, aromatic
spirits of ammonia, strychnine
are stimulants. Plenty of alco-
hol will neatly finish what the
venom has started.
“Don’t run or get overheated.
Don’t take any alcoholic drink.
Circulation, increased by exer-
cise or alcohol, serves to distrib-
ute the poison more rapidly
through the body. Don’t injure
the tissue by injecting potas-
sium permanganate. Do not de-
pend upon ‘shake bite cures’ or
