CURE FOR CANCER IS FOUND.
Ray Is Used With Success mt a Cali
fOrnia HOspftaI.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
San Francisco Cal. Feb. 1S.-After suf-
fering from cancer of the face for twenty
five years, Dr.. ]. NJ. selfridge, the founder
of the Fabiola Hospital. Oakland, has been
almost completely cured by the x-rays
Last October Dr. Selfridge began expert
menting with the x-rays in conjunction
with his son, DIR. c. NJ. Selfridge, and DR..
N II. Chamberlain. SO successful has
been the trial that numbers of other suf-
ferers have taken the same remedy and
have met with like astonishing relief.
As far as the trial has gone, Il seems
that a check has been discovered for the
dread cancer scourge. Dr. Selfridge was
led to begin the experiments by noting
the powerful irritating effect OF the x-ray
on healthy skin. He conceived the idea
that the cathode ray might dry up and
heal the cancerous tissue. So he made a
face mask Of thin sheets of lead and al
lowed only a small aperture over the can
GER. He was placed on an operating ia
bic and his face covered with the mask.
the cancerous wound only being exposed
to the action of the ray.
The experiment was begun after the doc
tor had vainly tried every remedy that
surgery could devise. Beneficial results
were noted at once, and the cancer began
to dry up. Now It is entirely healed, only
scar remaining 10 show where the sore
was for so many years.
The doctors at Fabiola are trying the
cure on other cancer patients and are get
ting encouraging results. What effect the
ray may have upon internal cancers Is I'M
certain, as only external growths have
yet been operated on.

WINTER PARK FAIR.
Large Crowd in Attendance TO See
Good Exhibition.

Winter Park, Fla, Feb. H.-Despite the
counter attraction of Col. Bryan at Or
lando, which drew a big crowd from all
this vicinity, the Midwinter Fair of the
Horticultural Association opened with a
good attendance. Mayor Andrew Rich
mond, in a very fine address, welcomed
the visitors and called their special at
tention to the splendid exhibit of fruits,
flowers and vegetables that had bid def
ance TO the recent freezes. President
George NJ. Ward of Rollins College presid-
ed, and also made an appropriate address
after prayer by Rev. G. p. Redfeld. The
Seminole Hotel Female Orchestra gave ex-
oellent music. The exhibits of cassaVa
were the largest and finest ever made,
and were especially attractive to Northern
visitors. In Strawberries the display was
large while oranges and grape fruit made
quite good showing Farm products were
numerous, aud the garden vegetables were
a wonder 10 Northern visitors. Cabbage.
lettuce celery and other vegetables OF
large size and good qualify were conspic-
uous The floral display was very attrac-
tive, and also the domestic articles of food
and fancy needlework. Hon. George H.,
Fernald of Sanford was chairman of the
board of judges, and he was quite enthu-
siastic in his praises of the work of the
association and President Henkel and wife

LABOR PROBLEM IN LowNDEs.
"Recruiters," Both White and Black,
Arrested-Accidenta at Saw MIL.

Valdosta, Ga, Feb. 22-The scarcity of
labor in all parts of the turpentine belt
is causing much trouble to the turpentine
operators and others. Nearly every day a
labor recruiter is arrested here for try
ing to employ laborers to go off to other
sections. In view of the large amount OF
work which the city is doing, putting in
sewerage system, the labor problem Is
serious, and tight reins are held upon
those who try to lure the workmen away.
A negro named Williams from Palatka
was arrested yesterday, and a white man
with him would have been pulled had he
not eVaded the police. A negro named
Holt from Berrien county, was also ar
rested under the same charge and IS stun
in Jail. Not in the memory Of anybody In
this section has there been such demand
for laborers.
A white man named Tom, whose sur
name could not be learned, was badly III
iured at Frys mill at Stockton yesterday
by a loose belt. The machinery was
working rapidly when the belt flew of,
striking the man on the head, cutting a
great cash across his forehead and prob
ably putting out one of his eyes.
Mr. John Walker, of the Naylor dis
trict one of the Oldest citizens of the
county, died last night after an illness of
a short time. He had large family con-
nection.
Mr. H ]. Brantley of this city has in
vented an automatic liquid measure TO be
attached to barrels or kegs. The meas
ure has an enumerator attached, and a
perfect record of the drawings from the
vessel is kept. The invention is to save
time, give accurate measurement and
keep an exact account of every measure
taken from the vessel. The model shows
1t to be as simple as can be and perfect
in its work. Mr.. Brantley expects to have
it patented and manufactured on a large
scale

Professor L. H. Bailey says: Arse
mite of lime has the threefold advan-
tage of being cheap the amount f
arsenic is under perfect control, and
it does not burr the foliage. 1t is
made by boiling together for forty
five minutes one pound white arsenic,
two pounds fresh lime, one gallon wa
ter. This may be kept in tight YES
sci and used as desired. Thoroughly
stir the material before using. For
most insects one quart of the above
per barrel will be sufficient. Arse
mite of lime is insoluble in water and
will not iniure the foliage of any or
chard fruit at this strength. This in
secticide is growing in popularity
Some green drystuff should be mixed
with it to prevent the ever present
danger of mistaking it for some other
material.

The food for the birds consists mainly
OF bread and cornmeai without salt
and with a generous quantity Of red
pepper mixed in. Until the birds reach
ar age when they can searcn out for
themselves the necessary green foods
they are provided with the tips Of shall
lots finely chopped.
When the birds reach their fifth
month they are considered sufficiently
grown up to have become somewhat
hardy aud they thrive when fed twice
day. Some epicures have their birds
fattened to order on a special diet, as,
for instance, nuts, and these birds
command fancy prices for the extra
care and expense entailed in raising
them.
This feminine turkey raiser is enthu-
siastic over the possibilities along this
new line of industry for women, and
considers that it offers great opportu-
mites for those who desire TO become
self supporting.

Midsummer Hats

Colored hats are extremely fashiona-
bic. and look especially well with the
thin summer gowns. Those made of
the pleated chiffon in pink are very
dainty and smart with 4 Powered pink
and white muslin. or in blue with a
blue and white. and so on indefinitely.
The next in favor are the yellow
straws. trimmed with pink roses or
with black velvet and fancy buckles.
The last are only intended for mid
summer wear, but they look so cool
and are so becoming that il is small
wonder that they are popular. The
turbans and toQues now to be seen are
not particularly attractive, for they are
stiff and harsh. and have SOM hard
lines unbecoming to most faces IN spite
of the fact 1ha. the straw IS of trans
parent weave. In all the newest hats
the tendency to make them fat and
broad is evident, but until the style OF
arranging the hair changes very mate
rally las authorities predict that it
will soon do), these hats are not likely
to be becoming and it is safer TO buy
hats with some high trimming. -Har-

Cherries should be picked with the
stems on. If they are for market this
is imperative. When the fruit rot is
bad it is necessary to attend very
closely to the picking. for the cherries
rot with astonishing rapidity when
they are once ripe. They should be
picked as soon as is consistent with
good quality, and the picking should
be done when the sun shines and the
fruit is dry.
The cherry is most healthful and
refreshing fruit and should be used
in abundance. 1t is one of the finest
fruits for canning, but it must be
grown in greater quantity than at
present before common folks can af-
ford to put it up for winter use. 1t
is perfectly safe to say that there is
a ready and profitable home market
for double the quantity of cherries
now grown-and cherries are easier to
grow than potatoes.-New York Week

of the heavy loads.-W. A. Clearwater,
in New England Homestead.
