WARN AGAINST UNDUE FAITH IN CANCER RELIEF Glandular Extract Method Still Is Experimental, Asserts Journal. By Science Service CHICAGO, March 6—For the second time within a month, the Journal of the American Medical Association has warned physicians and the public not to place undue faith in new methods of treating cancer by glandular extracts, such is that recently announced by Drs. V. B. Coffey and J. D. Humber of San Francisco. Drs. Coffey and Humber themselves have insisted that their work still is in the experimental stage. “We do not claim to treat or cure cancer,” they stated in a telegram to the American Medical Association. Dr. Boris Sokoloff. who has developed a method which uses a combination of extract from the cortex of the suprarenal glands and on salt, has confined himself to laboratory investigations so far. Activity Limited. My personal activity was and is limited strictly to experimental investigation carried out in the laboratory. So far, I have not treated patients and do not intend to do so in the future,” Dr. Sokoloff has reported to the American dedical Association. Two other investigators have reported to the American Medical Association experiments with methods of treating cancer. Dr. C. F. Charlton of Pasadena, Cal., has found a way to destroy cancer cells with administration of extract from the momentum, a membrane which goes from the stomach to adjacent organs. Gets Similar Results Dr. Adolph M. Hanson of Fairbault, Minn., announced similar results using an extract from the thymus gland. Many other manuscripts describing the use of glandular extracts or tissues in the treatment of cancer have been received by the American Medical Association since the Coffey-Humber method has been made public. Without, criticising the work of any of these investigators, the editors of the association’s journal point out that “modern discoveries are the results of the accumulation of investigations over a series of years pointing toward a definite end.” But until that end has been reached and the success of the newly-discovered method established beyond doubt, the public should not seek immediate practical applications of the method.

EXTRA! BRITISH SOLVE BIG SOCIAL PROBLEM Miss Lloyd George’s Hat Now Can Park In Whip's Office. United Press LONDON. March 6.—Political manipulation of the old school has solved a British parliamentary problem as grave, to England, as the Dolly Gann-Alice Long worth social problem is to America. A place has been found for Miss Megan Lloyd George's hat. Members of parliament, by right of custom, precedent and tradition, can park their toppers on the house of commons benches. Miss Lloyd George, who is a member of parliament, found it ridiculous to park feminine headgear in any such dangerous spot. She appealed to the Liberal chief whip. After deep cogitation and thumbing of the historical parchments, the chief whip decided the empire wouldn't fall if Miss Lloyd George deposited her hat, upon entering the chamber, in his own office.

‘RETREAT’ WILL BE HOT STORM CENTER Benstead’s Novel of the Defeat of an English Priest in the World War to Cause a Sensation. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN EACH year there seems to be one book upon which the guns of discussion and criticism are trained. This year it is my thought that it will be “Retreat,” by C. R. Benstead, just published by the Century Company. This story is dynamite because the central figure tossed into the hell of war in 1918 during Ludendorff’s terrible attack and the retreat of the British Fifth army, is that of an English priest, the Rev. Elliott Warne. No writer can take the character of a minister and subject him to actual life during the World war and not cause a storm of protest.

“Retreat,” from a standpoint of writing, ranks right along with "All Quiet on the Western Front” and in my opinion excells “Journey's End.” But it is not the great style of the author which will be discussed but it will be the subject matter. This young English priest, went to war as a chaplain. He had a great faith, he was well trained and he was a clean man. He did not know life nor did he know war. And so we see this frail, intelligent man buck war with such a bang that he fails utterly to bring God into the trenches. Even the fighting men developed contempt for his weakness of character. And yet when he becomes mad with war, when he is so suspicious that the entire army is trying to cast him aside and when he realizes his own personal failure to meet the demands of the actual fighting man, the soldiers do not condemn the church for the failure of one of its ministers. Some of the officers knew the “what sort of hell” the chaplain lived in when he saw nothing but death around him. He was told by ore of the officers that the men did not blame him for his failure as a chaplain any more than they would condemn the church as a failure on the basis of one man’s failure. I believe that “Retreat” brings actual war nearer to the printed page than “All Quiet on the Western Front.” It is not, as sensationally dramatic as “Journey's End, ’ but it does make you hear the crack of the guns and the shells and one can smell the stench of war. I recommend “Retreat” as the war novel of the year. I do that in face of knowledge that this book will be cussed and discussed as an attack upon the clergy. It certainly is no pretty picture of a chaplain that we have in this novel. It is the story of the failure of a minister among men. Could any minister succeed in bringing the glory of God in any war to men facing death? I believe the author asks that question many times. Here is war. naked and deathly. Do not be afraid to read “Retreat.” Keep your verdict open until the last. # # # Indianapolis theaters today offer: Thurston at English’s, “The Lost Zeppelin” at the Lyric, ‘‘South Sea Rose” at the Apollo, ‘‘The Ship From Shanghai” at the Palace, “Hunting Tigers in India” at Bair's

"Sick!" Again the disappointment of a date that can't be kept. Its always the day one would like most to go. Midol means freedom from these days of inactivity—days of suffering. You have probably tried other things for periodic pains, but so had thousands of women who today bless Midol. Try these wonderful tablets and be convinced that the normal process need not be one bit painful. Midol is non-narcotic and harmless, but it does bring complete ease in five to seven minutes. Or prevents the pain even starting when taken in time. Every drug store has the trim little aluminum case to tuck in your purse, and Midol costs only 50c.—Advertisement.

FASCISTS GAIN, GERMANS FEAR DICTATOR MOVE Cabinet’s Compromise Removes Last Obstacle to Young Plan Approval. By United Press BERLIN, March 6.—The last obstacle of any importance to Germany’s acceptance of the Young reparations plan has been removed by the cabinet’s decision to “please ail parties” by compromising on its budget. Within the next week the reichstag probably will enact legislation settling at last the reparations problems and other questions arising out of the World war. An important factor leading to the compromise was the uncertainty of domestic and international developments if the cabinet had fallen. It is no secret that some semimilitary organization, such as the “steel helmets” believed the opportunity would be ripe for a fascist dictatorship if the government had collapsed.

One day I was in the drug store and Cardui was recommended to me. After having taken one bottle of Cardui, I felt great relief. I then took several bottles more. Today, thanks to Cardui, I am perfectly well. I always keep a bottle of Cardui at home and whenever these headaches occur, I begin to take Cardui and it relieves me at once."

PENSION FUND CHANGE TALKED Compulsory Retirement of Employes Suggested. Amendment of. police and firemen’s pension regulations to provide for compulsory retirement at a fixed age, or on completion of a fixed period of service, is being considered by city officials. Under the present system, the safety board can retire police and firemen for physical disability only on recommendation of the city surgeon. Policemen can retire voluntarily after twenty years service or firemen after twenty-five years service. Charles R. Myers, safety board president, and Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell favor the compulsory retirement provision. Policeman Accused By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 6.— Willis H. Sriver, policeman, accused of striking Raymond Abbiehi, Mishawaka, breaking his jaw and loosening four teeth, has been suspended by Police Chief Samuel J. Lenon.
