Radium Not Cancer Cure.

London, March 24-Radium treat
ment for cancer has been entirely
abandoned at a cancer hospital. 1t
was never viewed with much hope
there and few days ago the last un-
successful experiments with it took
place.
The authorities at the hospital are
now devoting all their money and
time to improving the high frequency
trea tment, especially as regards the
enormous waste of electric power
which distinguishes the present use of
X-rays.
For cases of Internal cancer, expert
ments are being made with certain
new lamps which can be inserted into
a cooling tube containing water, then
introduced into the body. Both these
and new electrical machinery will,
however, require some weeks to per-
feet.
Sixteen patients have been under
the radium treatment, the longest Pc
Rod of single application having
been three hours and the longest total
time of application having been about
twenty five hours

Feeder Demand Good.

There are encouraging signs that the
demand for feeding cattle this spring
will be unusually strong at Chicago.
Many stockmen disposed of their
warmed up" and half-fat cattle in the
winter, and the result is that there are
many empty feed lots at present, The
only thing that hinders extensive oper
ations now is the high price of corn
AS soon as grass starts and cattle can
be maintained without much corn
ration there is likely to be a greater
rush for young cattle. This is at least
the opinion of most traders in this class
Of cattle and is emphasized by the in
auiry from the country, which seems
to be more general than usual for this
time of the year.

Animal Creates Panic.

Animal Creates Panic.
Baltimore. March PA bull. escap-
ing from his stall in the northern
suburbs, ran straight thru the city
yesterday, creating a panic among the
women in the shopping district and
knocking out two policemen before he
finally was overpowered and held fast.
Luckily the bull had no horns, other
wise the damage done would have been
serious. He dashed into Kohn's de-
partment store, butting an old woman
thru the doorway and making the
shoppers scatter. Then he darted out
again. knocking a man into a window
and tossing boy. Two policemen at
tackled him. One made a lunge with
his club, missed the bull and gave his
brother officer whack which laid him
out. Then the animal made his way to
the edge of the burned district. where a
crowd of wall wreckers succeeded in
lassoing him.

fresh meat in New York, Brooklyn and
