A New Cure for Cancer. - Medical circles in Germany are much excited over the discovery of what appears to be a new cancer cure. This is a substance somewhat like radium and casts off healing rays for long periods of time. For a number of years a concern in Berlin had been experimenting in osmium, thorium and other substances with a view to cheapening or improving gas mantles which they were engaged in producing. A certain professor, Hahn by name, spent much time in experimenting on the company's waste materials and also on a peculiar sand imported from South America. By chance he hit upon a radioactive material which acts much like radium. After some experimentation its curative properties were discovered and the new material, named mesothorium by its discoverer, was put into use at a number of prominent German hospitals. Certain forms of cancer were immediately relieved. A small amount of the substance is placed in a capsule of gold and silver which is then placed as close to the affected part as possible and left for twenty-four hours. This is repeated at intervals. To date about 200 cases have been treated with astonishing results. To quote the report, "After the treatment and generally within a few days the outward signs of cancer disappear, the pain ceases and the general health improves, while a microscopic examination, when the parts affected can be reached that way, generally shows that there is no trace of the disease left." Mesothorium differs from radium in two important particulars. One is its comparative cheapness. One or two milligrams cost about $7,500, far cheaper than radium which sells at many times that price. Bu'. it does not last as long as radium. A gramme of the latter will lose only half its power in 1,800 years, but a gramme of mesothorium will be reduced one half in about twenty years. No sooner was the new material announced than leading German hospitals and specialists began bidding it in. So. far more than $575,000 has been raised to purchase supplies of the cure. The town councils of Berlin and Munich have appropriated $55,000 for it while Jena bought nearly $10,000 worth. It seems that while the cure is effective with skin or "superficial" cancers little has been done with the deep seated type except allay pain and prolong the life of the sufferer. American specialists, having Dr. Friedmann fresh in mind probably, have been dubious somewhat and are inclined to wait further developments. But they would be unable to obtain much of the substance were they to try since there is at present only about a million dollars worth available. Whatever may be the fate of this particular cure it seems the scientists are getting closer and closer on the heels of this most dreadful malady and we may all hope that their investigations in radioactive materials will some day lead them to a cure that will make an end of it.

A Terpsichorean Disease. The American people, a few months ago, suddenly and without any warning began to wear out floors in every available dancing place from coast to coast and from the Canadian border to the Gulf, turkey trotting and tangoing the wildest orgy of terpsichorean inebriation in the history of the republic. The few scandalized sisters and brothers who managed to keep their feet quiet, probably because of infirmities, have charged that the land of the free and the home of the bunny hug is going to the eternal bow-wows. These charges have been thoroughly investigated and found to be absolutely without foundation. This epidemic of tangoing, complicated with turkey-trotting, is merely an instance of history repeating itself. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries all the peoples of Middle Europe suffered from a much more severe terpsichorean malady. In Germany the disease, for it was diagnosed as such, first bore the name of St. John's dance, but was later known as St. Vitus's dance, St. Vitus, a Sicilian youth, having been invoked for relief. This dance, a half religious frenzy, spread rapidly through France. Flanders and Germany; thousands were seized with it and engaged in wild movements which would put to shame the most accomplished of modern tangoists. Many died from exhaustion and exposure. In Italy this dance was termed tarantism, because it was erroneously supposed to have been produced by the bite of a tarantula. But there was one great difference between the St. Vitus dance of the middle ages and the Tango dance of modern America. Music had a tendency to subdue the frenzy of the former, while it only aggravates the malady we are now suffering from.

Gem Hunting. They are searching now for the "lost" works of the kindly-faced, quaint and aging bard of Lockerbie street James Whitcomb Riley, the popularly appointed poet laureate to the American people. This search is being rewarded by the discovery of many gems, valued contributions to our literature. One, in the original manuscript, "To

Almon Keefer," is rich in its sentiment Riley at !

his best. It was written on the fly leaf of an old book of sea tales, which the poet and Mr. Keefer pored over as boys, drinking deep its romance: To Almon Keefer. This first book that I ever knew Was read aloud to me by you Friend of my boyhood therefore take It back from me for old times' sake The self-same "This" first read to me, Under "the old sweet-apple tree." Ere I myself could read such great Big words but listened all elate, At your interpreting, until Brain, heart and soul were all athrill With wonder, awe and sheer excess Of wildest childish happiness. So take the book again forget All else long years, lost hopes, regret; Sighs for the joys we ne'er attain, Prayers we have lifted all in vain; Tears for the faces seen no more, Once as the roses at the door! Take the enchanted book and, lo. On grassy swards of long ago, Sprawl out again beneath the shade The breezy old-time orchard made The veriest barefoot boy, indeed And I, will listen as you read. JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY. Xmas 18Q5. The work of collecting missing works of Riley is being conducted by his publishers, the Bobbs-Merrill company. The search undoubtedly will lead into many Hoosier homes.

REPENTANCE

Should Milk Supply of City be Tested?

i i

Chicago Tribune. The New York Republican organization, under the leadership of Senator Root, former Secretary of War Stimson, and Nicholas Murray Butler, one of the seconders of Taft in the rump Republican convention of 1912, resolved that in Republican national conventions of the future delegates shall be chosen in each state, and to correct the representation in the convention so that it will be more nearly proportionate to the Republican vote cast in each state. This is a repudiation of the conduct of the New York delegates in 1912; a confession by Messrs. Root. Stimson, and Barnes of their wrongful conduct of 1912, with the implied promise of repentance and better conduct in the future. The notorious Barnes opposed this movement of reform, and apparently has separated himself from his former allies. The causes of this change are not far to seek. The blistering repudiation of their conduct received at the polls last November has had its effect. The loss of political power has hurt these long powerful leaders. Furthermore, there has been a territorial change in the control of congress, and the tariff and income tax bolls are very much less favorable to New York than federal revenue laws have been for a generation. Of what avail this repentance will be no man can tell. Senator Root and his friends are in the position of the farmer closing the stable door after the horse has run out into the pasture. The horse is out now and apparently enjoying himself. What effect a cold winter of Democratic administration will have upon hi sspirits no one can forecast. Even if he tires of the Democratic pasture Senator Root and his friends alone can never bring him back. They will have to cement some of the friendships they so insolently broke a year ago and will have to go much more than half way to effect a reconciliation. Whatever the result may be, it is good to see that a wrong so brazenly perpetrated is now regretted. Forgiveness cannot come before repentance.

Because the danger of infection from tuberculous milk is being more and more emphasized by health authorities and expert hygienists, many cities over the country are making the tuberculin tt nf diirv gtti.

compulsory. One of the latest and most successful has been Fort Wayne. In describing their campaign for pure milk, free from bovine tubercle, Mr. George M. Gillie, meat and dairy inspector, writes in a recent communication: "We have successfully carried through a campaign to give Fort Wayne a better milk supply and to enforce the tubereulinizlng of all cattle producing milk for this city. We were tied up by injunctions a time or two, but always managed to come out on top. "Our dairy ordinance gives in detail the law on tuberculinization, and

Miss Worth as the wife, Joe Sohafer as the fliratious husband, and Pauline LeRoy as the affinity, have accounted for there"s a lot of blue bows going to Guy Harper as the reporter who wants a story for his paper. '

we have been able so far to carry out this work satisfactorily. The success of our work is due entirely to our local health department. "To show that the tuberculinizing of cattle which produce milk for our citieB be made Compulsory, I cite to you the ruling handed down by ihe United States supreme court to the health department of Milwaukee. May 12, 1913. to-wit: "'The court held that cities have the right to protect citizens from the "white plague" by ordering that all dairy cows be subjected to the tuberculin test, and that municipalities may destroy milk.' "Wisconsin dairymen, headed by John Quincy Adams, of Waukesha county. Wis., tested this ordinance of ours, and were denied an injunction by the lower courts, appealed to the supreme courts, and were handed the above decision."

Buyers are Plentiful Realty Dealers Say

Real estate bargains are very close, buyers are plentiful and sales are shaved to a feather's edge. This is the consensus of opinion among local real estate men. Last week har been no exception and while business is normal good prospects are coming in every day and will materialize in the near future. The sale of a ninety acre tract, 4 miles northeast of Richmond on the Middleboro pike was reported by Funk and Miller. This was purchased by C. V. Balrd, of Henry County, from James F. McCord. The consideration was $10,000. Mr. Baird purchased an automobile three years ago and has covered over 40,000 miles prospecting for a farm and home site. Fred II.

GRADATION.

Heaven is not reached at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to its summit round by round. I count this thing to be grandly true; That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broader view. We rise by the things that are under our feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; By the pride deposed and the passion slain. And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet Wings for the angel, but feet for men! We may borrow the wings to find the way; We may hope, and resolve, and aspire, and pray; But our feet must rise or we fall again. J. G. Holland.

On today's program the Palace presents the Massive Broncho Military produeuon, "Silent Heroes" in two parts. This sensational and exciting war drama presents a reproduction of one of the greatest battles of the rebellion, showing a fascinating view of the big cannon dealing out death and destruction in the trenches. A realistic cavalry charge as the Union mounted men are hurled against the Southern infantry, their repulse and retreat, marches and counter marches are all vividly shown and presented by the enormous cast. The story is of civil war days, impressive and very touching, showing a son's loyalty to mother and country. On the same bill is the Reliance film "The Missing Ring," a powerful drama by Mildred Mason, and featuring the ever popular photo-players, Irving Cummins and Rosemary Theby.

The pores of the skin are nature's breath ducts and to clog them up is to invite ill health. The happiest men and women and children on earth are those who are perfectly clean, and perfect cleanliness comes from the use, in the bath, of Jap Rose, the bubble bath eoan. The delicate odor of this delightful toilet requisite gives one that sense of perfect cleanliness; free from the odors of perspiration. Sold at 10c by almost every good merchant in
