NONSENSE ABOUT RADIUM.

Mr.. Cleveland Moffet, a contributor
to the April Success, warns the read
ing public from placing too much con-
ndence In the announcements made
about tho wonderful cures OF radiun.
He has studied the subject in the
laboratory OF NJ, Curie, Paris, and he
may be supposed to know something
about IT,
lie mentions especially that specula-
tors In human misery are about to adj
vertlse a sort Of "radum consumption
farm" whore wonders are promised
by means of "radium" and large fees,
and where he thinks It likely that
many patients win be imposed upon.
Eventually, he says. radium may do
good for the theory may prove sound,
but people should know that thus far
thele IS an entire lack OF evidence
nom reputable physicians to show that
radllm has actually cured cases Of con.
sumption, Years must pass before we
can have any certain knowledge on the
subject Then he continues;
Even should II ultimately be shown
that consumption may be cured by the
use of radioactive air, there still re-
mains the problem OF finding a suf-
ficIent supply Of radlum to bestow
these precious properties upon the air,
Great quantities OF this air would be
needed-think Of the army Of Consump.
tves'-and there Is very little radium
IN the world-only an ounce or 50 Of
the highly purified product and that
Is enormously expensive. To be sure,
We read OF radlum deposits In various
parts Of America, and we are told that
soon, with better processes OF refining,
the price viii fall from II million dol
lars q pound. or thereabouts, to some
thing reasonable AS a matter OF fact
the price OF radum has been steadily
advancing for the past six months"
This fact alone should serve as n
warning against imposition Of the kind
referred to In the Success, When peo-
pie are sick they are easily induced TO
try almost any proposed remedy, II
they would consult only reputable and
responsible physicians, they would save
themselves disappointment

CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.

That the trolley car Is responsible for
many OF the mortal dangers Of modern
life is we'll known, and now that great
institution. without which suburban
growth would be but slow, Is accused OF
being the source Of a great many cases
Of appendicitis
Only Indirectly, however. II Is ex-
planned that the trolley car has made
people lazy Walking Is almost lost
art. We take the car" even when we
need some exercise, and this lack OF ex-
ercise, It Is claimed, IL largely to blame
for the increase In the cases OF appen-
dlcitls, According 10 the opinion of
New York physician, II the entrance
to the vermiform appendix Is not kept
tightly closed small particles Of waste
are forced into 1t, inflammation sets In
and results In that dreaded disease.
when the abdominal and intestinal
muscles are kept continually active by
walking, the entrance to the append.z
is closed. and there is no danger,
This view seems to be borne out by
the fact that the disease is not so COM
mon In the country as In the cities. 1t
ia much more rational than the guess
made some time ago by doctor that It
was caused by eating meat. Walking Is
a healthy exercise, II is preventive OF
many disorders.

BEWARE OF THEM.

Much Of the transformation that Is
now finding place In the distant press Is
sent out from this city, Some OF the

To sue them for libel would be a waste
OF time and trouble, for they are as
impecunious az they are mendacious,
II IL strange that such falsehoods az

pie here ought to show their detesta-
