copyrighted. 1901, By Robert Howard RUS
Once there was q thoughtfess Man
who had been plugging along, eating
three Square Ones each Day. gaining
about a Pound a Month. and not TAX
ing any care of himself at all.
One Night he happened in on a Lee
ture Course to find out about the Germ
Theory OF Disease. When the Pictures
were shot or the Screen, he learned
that ordinary Drinking Water and
many kinds of Food, such as he had
been using, were chuck full Of three
eyed Dinguses With curly Tails and
long Feelers. The Lecturer explained
that when a few Flocks of these Or
ganisms moved into a Gentleman and
began to Play House and Nibble around

and Silver Handles.
The Man who had been knocking
around for Thlrty-eight Years. drink
ing out of Hydrants that could be Mas
ticated, was Scared stiff when he real
lied how many thousands OF times he
had firted with Death.
From that moment he decided that
he would not touch any water unless
it had been Boiled and SKINNED.
When he couion't get Boiled Water,
he would demand vichy or Deep Rock
or a certain Lithia containing .O07
Parts of Sillykilate of Polarium which
is uood for whatever you happen to
have at the Time.
Occasionally he would forget and
take a Swig of Plain Water, the same
as other People were drinking. Then,
when 1t was too late, he would recall
those Pictures of the Germs, and he
could imagine a whole Menagerie of
these little Animals grazing around

THE X-RAY FOR CANCER.

From Oakland, Cal. is reported a
case of cancer cured by the use Of the
X-ray. Distinguished surgeons pro-
nounced the case a well known form
of genuine cancer. 1t had previously
resisted all treatment. After three
months of the X-ray treatment admin
istered daily a complete cure Is an
nounced. The attending surgeon, DR..
Selfridge. was himself cured of cancer
by the same means. He says he has
had equal success in a number of other
cases. "My theory" says he, is that
the X-ray kills the molecules, which
constitute the primal cells where life
actually begins. 1t frequently takes
thousands of these molecules to make
a single cell OF the tissue. The deter
ioration of these molecules, / judge,
may cause cancer. 1t probably does.
The X-ray has the effect of drying up
these atoms and in time prevents the
spread of cancer Ultimately it kills
the disease. | am positive when l say
the X-ray can cure cancer"
Thus does the advance of science
bring relief to suffering humanity. The
day may not be distant when such a
thing as incurable disease will not be
found in the category.

poaro e,eo.s SAD PLIGHT.


Delegate Iglesias, sent by tee Porto
Rican Federation of Labor to the Pres
ident to plead the cause OF the desti-
tute people OF our Atlantic dependency,
paints a picture of horror in telling of
the conditions in the island.
The state of affairs there now is far
worse than il ever was in the worst of
times under Spanish rule. AT present
the island has neither Spanish nor
American rights. 1t is without status
and without markets for its products,
being barred from Spanish rights as
well as shut out by the United States
tariff. And meanwhile, until its true
status is decided by the courts Ameri-
can enterprise holds aloof. The result
Is that the population is without en-
pI9yment EXCEPT a few at starvation
wages and restitution and suicide are
the order of the day among the masses
who cannot emigrate.
Present conditions" says Mr.. Igles-
las, ARE similar TO those prevailing in
British India, only worse He says
conditions in Porto Rico have stead
lily grown worse ever since American
occupation. A year ago the people
were out of work and bordering on star
walton. The misery prevailing to-day
in the country and cities is horrible.
Says Mr.. Iglesias:
"MATTERS IN PORTO RICO ARE
WORSE NOW THAN UNDER THE OLD
SPANISH REGIME. There was then a
uniformity of laws. The trades were in a
better condition. The island had good
markets. The markets and products were
protected. The Spanish capitalists invest
ed their money and gave employment to
labor. Now there is no protection either
to markets or products.
The merchants and capitalists of Porto
Rico are chiefly Spanish. At present they
are initiating no new enterprises. THEY
HOPE TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY
AND LEAVE THE ISLAND. No build
ings are under construction, no new work
of any kind is begun.
THE laws now in operation create end
less confusion and hardship. The old
Spanish laws have been continued in force.
Then there are the ordinances of the
American Military Governors. the ordi-
nances of the Civil Governor. the acts of
the Executive Council and of the Legisla-
tive Assembly. The Hollander bill has in
creased the confusion. Even work on the
plantations has been suspended"
The petition TO the President SAYS:
Misery, with all its horrible conse-
quences, is spreading in our homes
with wonderful rapidity. It has al
ready reached such an extreme that
many workers are starving to death,
while others. hat have not the cour-
age to see their mothers, wives, sisters
and children perish of hunger. COM
NIT suicide by drowning themselves or
hanging themselves. The government
and municipality do not undertake any
public works to keep us out # idle
ness. The emigration of workers, I'M
known in this island before, increases
day by cay in proportion as misery.
Increases"
Verify. the plight of our dependents
is sad indeed, and ii bshooves this
government to early put forth its best
efforts to bring order out of the chaos
In which the war left this island which
nature made fertile and which should
be prosperous and happy.

NEW YORK, April is.-The American

Postal Department Has Az
quilted Itself FavoRabsy.

As corollary to the recently issued re
port of the postmaster general, where
the item of insuffsciently or obscurely
addressed letters il dealt with, it may
be noted that the department had had
many tough tasks TO deal with, and has
acquitted itself triumphantly, says the
London Telegraph. Once an envelope
intrusted to it on which was inscribed
-"Grofredevi, London"-sent from
Italy-was delivered to the eminent sci
enlist. Sir Humphrey Davy.
But perhaps st. Martins most sur
passeditscl en- points of cuteness, when
recently letter reached the authorities
which had been posted at Inverness,
bearing the rude scrawl: "Tug!mor,
pipe. Colstraly." Every person was
puzzled. Then it was decided, consid-
ering the quarter whence the missive
was sent, to call in the services Of an
Fex-soldier of Highland regiment, a
Gaelic speaker, who was employed as a
mail cart driver. This authority thus
read the inscriptions: "Dugat More,
piper. Gold, Australia" Then the gold
rush to Australia was in full swing,
and Dugal Mctc. it was surmised, was
one OF the miners. Months atterward
intelligence reached the department to
the effect that the addrexsee had been
discovered. The letter. which was from
his brother, was delivered to Dusal.
while he was delighting his Caledonian
comrades on the gold fields by skiriinR
on the bagpipes.
