utmost capacity in order to light the
city.

called upon Dr. Burnette last autumn
with an irritation on the tongue. The
doctor applied nitrate of silver with his
finger. Some time later he shaved him
self, and in doing SO scratched his left
cheek. To stop the, flow of blood he
applied a powder with his finger. He
noticed that the cut stung him longer
than usual, but he paid little attention
to it.S A swelling resulted from the
scratch and cancer developed. This
woman in turn was inoculated by
using speaking tube in the business

cancer, and who first had had his

Italy's harvest this year is satisfac-

an average one, but as the quality is
excellent the value is 1900, 900 more

barley are all good in quality, with a
yield above the average. The rice
fields are promising, as the disease
called risone has been stamped out.
Olives and hemp are also promising.
