The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-01-25

In extracting the radium I used
the Curie method, which I took from
their paper, and l claim no credit. AS
result Of this first extraction of
American radium, arrangements have
been made by certain persons in Buffa-
10, who own several mines OF carnalite,
to manufacture radio active agents on
Il large scale.
Supply Will be Plentiful.
In my opinion it Will soon be SO
plentiful that it will easily be within
the reach of all branches of science.
The increased production viii nat
urally decrease it's cost and there need
be no fear OF exhausting the Aneri-
can source of supply, for l am inform
ed it is practically lmitless.
There is not the slightest doubt
but American radium can be made as
strong as the Curie product and
equally availab BILE for all scientific pur-
poses.

The cost of keeping hens depends
