FINDS CANCER PARASITE
DR.. Otto Schmidt of Cologne Makes
Important Discovery in Cancer
Treatment.

London, Nov. GA new treatment
of cancer which is believed to mark an
important advance in the treatment of
the dreaded growth has been ex-
planned before a meeting of the Aber-
nethian society of St. Bartholomew
hospital by DR.. Johnson, who has been
examining the methods employed by
DR.. Otto Schmidt of Cologne.
DIR. Schnlidt's opinion" he said, lis
that cancer is conditional on the
presence in the patient Of a cancer
parasite which produces structural
change in the cells Of the part affected.
The difficulty has been to decide
which, if any, of them is the cause of
cancer. DR.. Schmidt believes he has
isolated the specific parasite.
with this parasite DR.. Schmidt
seems to have done two things-he
seems to have sterilized it with
liquid air and he has also injected it
into animals and developed a serum
which has the power of destroying
cancer cells. Sterilized parasites he
used for one treatment Animal
serum he used for his second treat
ment. Successful use Of the discovery
depends upon arrest of the process
removal of the growth and the fact
that no vital organ has been seriously
injured

SAYS SHE KNOWS
DATE OF DEATH
Young Chicago Woman, Tho Per
fectly Healthy and Apparently
Sane, Predicts Her Own Death.
Bases Her Prediction on Fortune
Tellers' Prophecies and Her
Own Dreams.

Chicago, Nov 6.-There is in Chi
cago a young and beautiful woman
who is thoroly convinced that she has
only six days left to live. With this
idea constantly on her mind, she is
expanding her little patrimony and her
earnings of seven years as rapidly as
she knows how in legitimate ways, in
efforts to know the world and to see
| life as it is in big cities.
| II have nearly $4,000 with which
to make myself and others happy she
says. my days are numbered When
the sun sets on the 18th day of this
month shall be dead. I have known
little joy and much misery since
grew to wemanhood, and I have deter-
mined now to have all the innocent
pleasure that money can buy"
| The young womans name is Mrs.
Janet Greenwood. Her home. until
last week was in Yankeetown, Ind, a
hamlet that nestles among the hills
near the Ohio river. Now she is a
/ guest at prominent hotel Her life
has been a tragedy. John Greenwood,
her husband, lived only six months
several months later, died in infancy.
The young wonan's father and moth
er have been dead for years. Since
1896 she has toiled early and late as
a designer of lace patterns.
| To-day there was a strange feast in
the girls room at the hotel where she
is stopping. Twenty newsboys gath
cred in from the streets, sat about a,
long mahogany table heaped high with

afforded. Mrs. Greenwood presided at
the board. She watched the plate Of
each youngster and saw to it's prompt

was the host" she declared.
To all appearances, Mrs. Greenwood
is perfectly sane. The story she tells
is almost incredible, but she tells it
coherently and graphically. In her
large eyes are sadness and calm, but
no indication of an unbalanced mind.
"a year ago fortune teller told me
that I would die in the month of Nov
