The pretensions of the snake, as a
dofflestlc^tnlinal of great value^ weM
*«dvanced by Allen B. Williams, presi
dent of th# ReptUe Society of Amei^
ica, at New York. ^
The society, of which Mr. ' Wiiiiftms
Is the head, middle and end, has un
dertaken a campaign of education on
behalf of the snake, claiming that as'a
destroyer of rodents and other small
pests on the farm he is .the^iehd and
benefactor of man. For the poison-
bearing snakes Mr. WiiliSms holds no
brief and concedes the necessity for
their obliteration from the earth; but
of the nonpoisoDous ones he had this
to say at tlie banquejt while yon could
have heard a pin drop:
"To the lay mind, the idea of the
black or the garter or any one of u
thousand vaHeties of harmless snakes
b^ng of any service to ma!|ikind may
apjpear preposterous and unworthy of
, discussion. But the facts are other
wise. The snake has a very impor
tant bearing on the question of food
production, a matter which, oven since
the signing of the armistice, grows
more important' daily. The snake is
the great small-pest destroyer of the
American farm. Every person who
kills a nonpolsonous snake might jnst
as well destroy one hundred times the
snake’s weight , in wheat.’* ’
Mr. Williams proposes that the value
of the snake be taught hereafter In the
farm schools and agricultural colleges
and Rays he intends to becoine the edi
tor of a publication devoted to suake
conservation and culture. Ue advo
cated tlie introduction of a small snake
or two Into every household in the
land, saying that the snake, contrary
to popular belief, made an ideal house
hold pet, and in the course of every
year represented many times over a
saving^of his weight in mousetraps.
BETTER THAN ELECTRIC FAN
Punkah System Said to Have Advan
tages Npt Possessed by Its More
Modern Competitor.
- - ■• «
Electric current for fans is not gen
erally available in Aden. Araf)ili;.’'ahd
the old-fashioned punkah s^Wt^m
tlie only relief froni
bearablo heat and clo^eQ^'^^^^hfi^C
mosphere which prevails at certain
seasons of the year. A punkah is a
large celling fan operated by a coolie,
who pulls a rope attached to it. This
rope generally passes over a small pul
ley through a hole in the wall, so that
the coolie may work unseen by those
In the room to b» ventilated.
Often a series of fans is operated
by one coolie, this system prevailing
in hotels, clubs and other places where
tiiere is a large space to be cooled.
The actual cooling effect is usually
considered more satisfactory than that
of an electrically operated fan 4n the
respect that the air currents are more
gentle and much more evenly distrib
uted.
A punkah walla, as the coolie who
operates It Is called, receives In Aden
an average wage of $3.50 a month for
working from eight to nine hours a
day. However, during the hot .season,
when it Is desirable to have the pun
kah in operation night and day, a
force of three punkah wallas, working
eight hours each, is necessary.

Pioneer In Her Profession.
The first wdiniui physician in the
United States was Dr. Elizabeth
BlaAwell, who received the degree
of M. D. at Geneva, N. Y., 70 years
ago. Miss Blackwell was a native of
Bristol, England, but came to the
United States in her youth. When
she was 21 she determined to become
a physician, but her application for
admission was refused by nearly all
of the leading medical colleges of
the United States and Canada. A
little medical college In Geneva, how
ever, accept^ her, and she became
one of the most brilliaht students of
the institution. She suffered, how
ever, from social ostracism In the
town, as the Geneva hostesses regard
ed her either as Insane or wicked.
Miss Blackwell, after . finishing her
course, attended medical colleges In
Europe and practiced in several con
tinental hospitals. She then returned
to-New York, where she opened an
infirmary for women and children and
organized a woman’s medical college.
Cards In War Service.
Having helped many a soldier
through weary hours in trench and
hospital, playing cards are now bning
pressed into active war service, says
the London Chronicle. You may have
noticed the new and neat little clofh
badges on the sleeve of our men ^m
the front, but possibly have failed to
understand the designs. They are
nothing but the familiar club, spade,
heart and diamond tof the playing card.
^Under the new scheme regimei^ are
divided Into packs, each company hay
ing Its own symbol in a certain^ color
to serve as an identification mark, all
other badges being removed before go»
ing over the top.

their release from a hospital or home.
These girls pledge themselves to keep
alive the spirit of friendliness and
home which the Salvation Army has
spread among them. The girls a^
expected to driess in a plain, simple
way, and avoid in any sense of the
word gaudy or tawdry clothing.

ANOTHER BREVARD
CASE
It Proves That There** A Way Out
for Many Suffering Brevard Folks.
Just another report of a case in
Brevard. Another typical case. Kid-
ney ailments relieved in Brevard with
Doan's Kidney I^lls.
J. T. Dean, shoemaker, says:
“Some time ago I had an attack of
kidney trouble. My back ached and
I felt all run down. If I would bend
over I could hardly straighten. I
think standing so much is what caus
ed this complaint. . I would get dixzy
and black specks would come before
my eyes and mornings I felt tired
and weak. My kidne'ys acted too
freely and the secretions were high
ly colored and full of sediment and
pamful in passage. Hearing of
Doan’s Kdney^ Pills I l^gan taking
them and they soon had my back
strong again. I ’gladly recommend
Doai^*a Sidney Pills.”.
