The distracting headaches from which
50 many women suffer make life daily
purgatory. If men suffered with head
ache as women do, business would be
almost at stanstill. Does not the fact
that men do not suffer from these severe
headaches suggest that there must be a
womanly cause for them?
When the woman1y organism is dis
eased, headache, backache, nervousness
and sleeplessness are consequences which
are sure to follow.

Unwinding Red Tape
: In English War Office.

There is red-tape in the methods
of the American War Department., but
for gorgeous complication of system,
recent illustration in the British
armv eclipses all records on this side
of the water.
An officer had occasion to use a screw
driver, just plain. ordinary twenty

request for q screw driver was read.

another up the long adder-Whose'

until it reached the topmost seat of au-

the application was solemniy consid-

path through the various official chan

forgotten about it In the intervening
weeks.

but, with admirable persistence, filleo
out another form requesting the box
of tools, in order that he might obtain
the screw driver. After the same
weary round of delay and formality,
this application came back. Its end
orsement stated that boxes of tools
were supplied only to carpenter shops.
The patient officer scratched his heao

set the ball rolling when be wanted p

THE STARS IN THE FLAG.
Proposed Rearrauaement BY Representa-
tive ShafrOth, Of Colorado.

/, Representative Shafroth, of Color
ado, ls the author of bill now pend
ing in the House, which proposes re-
arrangement of the field of stars on the
American flag. Mr.. Shafroth' 3 idea is
to give to each star state Individual
ity. and to make the system so COM
plete that each star, by its position in
the field, can be identified. for the State
it represents. The bill also prescribes
the size of the field, which shall be
square and one-third the total fly of
the flag. For instance, on flag meas
uring sixtv-three inches in length, the
field would be twenty-One inches
square. Mr.. Shafreth's plan for the
arrangement of the stars of the States
now represented in the Union is to fol.
lows:
That the stars representing the thir-
teen original States shall be placed on
circle within said field; that the stars
representing thirty of the admitted
States shall form an interior star with
in the circle of thirteen stars represent
ing the thirteen original States, with
four stars to each arm; that the stars
representing the last two admitted
States Wyoming and U5ah) shall be
placed temporarily on straight line,
one on each side of the center OF the
interior star; that upon the admission
Of an additional State the three stars
IN the center of the interior star shall
fOrm an equilateral triangle, with the
center of the interior star as the center
of said triangle; that upon the admis-
sion of two additional States the four
stars In the center of the interior star
shall form square, with the center of
the Interior star as the center of said
square.
The provisions of the bill go still
farther into the future and detail the
arrangement of the stars when eight
or more States shall have been added
to the Union. 1t is provided that in
asmnch as we owe our existence as
nation to the valor, the achievements,
the craftsmanship of the original
States. in recognition of this obliga-
tion the stars representing the original
States shall be greater in themselves
than those of the admitted States.
The bill has been referred to the
4 ha lnd ond
come up later in the session.

RADIUM AS A CANCER CURE,

ASTONISHING RESULTS OBTAINED IN
:. THE CASE OF A PATIENT WHOSE
CONDITION APPARENTLY WAS HOPE
LESS
| Radium as cure for cancer has beer
tried with astonishing results by DR.
William H. Van den Burg. of 80 West
Forty-ninth street, upon his uncle,
William Hoffman. sixty-two years old,
a Contractor, of 19 West Miller street,
Newark, N j., who has returned to his
home with hardly a visible trace left
of a malignant growth which has spread
over the right side of his head from the
mouth up.
Six ks ago physicians in consul
tation declared that the cancer could
only be cured by cutting half the pa
trent's head away. The verdict was
confirmed by experts here before Dr..
Vnn den Burg undertook to treat him.
Mr.. Hoffman for the purpose took up
his abode at DR.. Van den Burg's home
The treatment was simple At stat
e1 Intervals the patient held In his
mouth hermetically sealed glass tube
Containing u quantity Of radium, hard
ly enough to Cover the point of a pen
knife, but having a radio activity ex-
pressed by the numeral 10,OUO The
tube containing it was about u quar-
ter of an inch in diameter and perhaps
three inches long, and when not in
use was rolled in many thicknesses of
Sheet lead and kept in a locked drawer.
After very short time Mr.. Hoffman
complained OF burning sensation in
the cheek, which became uncomfortable
after about forty minutes The tube

for several hours. But the swelling OIL
his face began to go down immediate

of his mouth.
The tube be bad been using had been
obt ined from Professor Hammer, Of
the Edison Laboratory. DR. Van den
Burg securd another from Paris of
about the same appearance. The rsdl
um in it would be about sufficient to
make pin head. but it has all activity,
measured by the same standard as the

ence of this tremendous force the can
Ger dissolved almost vislbly, but the
treatment could be carried on for
twelve minutes only at the longest.
This tube Mr.. Hoffman took with him
on bis return to WAYNE county week
ago, where it and the story of his ex
perience is the talk of all Newark, for
few of, his townsmen ever expected
him to return alive.
He was worn and wasted as result
of his long suffering and the destruc
tion of bis tissues by the cancer, and
the one thing that gives his friends
uneasiness is that his general physical
condition shows no impl lOvement that
