Every good housewife knows the value of nice, soft rain water for washing clothes and for all cleansing pur-; poses. It isn't always convenient to secure rain however.

Neither is it necessary. GOLD DUST will soften the hardest water, take out the mineral substances and make it so near like the water that falls from the' clouds that you couldn't tell the difference. Think what this means to you on wash-day. There's' a deal of difference between the action of hard and soft water for all cleansing. Just a little GOLD DUST added to the water renders it soft TOMORROW WIGHT Dir.

Olean, Oct.

26. A dispatch from El-dred, 14 miles south of this city, relates a thrilling encounter Arthur N. Servanti of Newburg, N. had with a nest of snakes. Servanti is a merchant and came to Pike County, on a deer hunting expedition.

One day when a short distance from Eldred, while following some deer tracks, he came across 16 rattJesnakes sunning themselves on a rock. As he approached, the two largest started for him. Servanti shot the foremost and in endeavoring to get away, he' slipped and fell on his right hand. The snake, which was near him, r.t once struck his hand, biting, his torefinger just above the second joint. Servant! realized the situation and as son as he could get a safe distance off, took the hunting knife, cut open the finger and sucked the poison out.

He hired a rig, drove to Eldred and had his hand attended by a physician. By this time the hand and arm had swollen to great size. A day or two after with his guide he visited the big rock, found the snakes in the sun, killed the big snake and captured the entire family of 14 small snakes, which the guide says are about six months old.

The hunting sea- music is the bullet that $15.85 Belmont Park, 28. Brisk winds blowing today presaged difficulties for the aviators in the important tests scheduled tot this, the fifth day of the International aviation meet, and threatened to keep the machines of two aviators out of the day's competitions altogether. The pair In difficulties were A. J. Drexel and J.

C. McCurdy, who were lost in the gathering darkness outside the course while competing in the cross country flight late yesterday afternoon, and were forced to land in distant fields, Drexel at Rockville Center and McCurdy at Linnbrook, each approximately eight miles away from the course. The straying airmen expected to take the air and fly their machines back to the park when daylight broke. Nothing had been heard from either of the aviators long after sun up. Given any sort of favorable aerial condidtions, today was expected to settle the elimination trials for the American team in the Gordon Bennett cup race, the Michelin and Scientific American trophies and to witness competitions for the grand altitude prize as well as more cross country flights.

Ralph Johnstone yesterday afternoon climbed until a snowstorm, at an altitude of 7,303 feet caused him so much discomfort that it compelled him to coast back to earth. The climb established a new American altitude record. There was great joy at the Wright camp and Wilbur Wright so far forgot himself when he looked at the barograph figures as to wave his hat hilariously. Monday J. Armstrong Drexel had taken the American altitude record of 6,175 feet away from the Wright machines, established by Walter Brookins at Atlantic City on July 9, by soaring to a height of 7,105 feet, and in a monoplane at that.

Tctwin it back unexpectedly In an old-type Wright biplane explains Wilbur Wright's joy. This was the feat of the day. Count De Lesseps earlier had tried for altitude in his Bleriot, but at a height of 6,391 feet he began to lose his bearings in the fog and rain aloft and came down. The day was free from accidents of any kind.
