A possible explanation of the cause of cancer was advanced by Donald C. Butts, chemist of Philadelphia, who attributed tlm baffling disease to an excess of positive electrons of energy in cells of the body. In New York a woman lay for more than thirteen hours under the piercing rays of a 240,000 volt X-ray machine which ate away cancerous cells in the abdomen. Formerly 150,000 volts was the maximum and 100 minutes was the longest period the rays were ever applied. A baby three days old. facing certain death because it could not breath was saved when powerful rays withered the thmus gland in its throat and restored normal respiration; A SAD MISTAKE Muncie, Ind., June 15—Homer Jones, Delaware county farmer, know’s today that all autos of a certain make look alike and as a result he is confined to a soup diet. A few days ago he was fitted out with .4 set of false teeth. Yesterday he came into town and before going to a barbershop, stopped to park his teeth in his. machine. He got the wrong car and when he returned, both car and teeth were missing. o Thought for the Day.
