SUN BATH A CANCER CURE.
German Physician Healed by Expo
sure to Warm Rays.


sure to Warm Rays.
A new cure for cancer, consisting
merely in exposure of the afflicted part
to the rays OF the sun in high altitude,
has been reported to the state depart
ment by Consul General Guenther of
Frankfort, Germany, says a Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Globe.
He cites the experience of a DR.. Hirsch-
berg, one of the prominent surgeons of
Frankfort, who was himself suffering
from the disease. The cancer was on
the exterior part of the ear,
DIR. Hirschberg was about to submit
to an operation, but before doing so
went to Lake Geneva and got into the
habit of taking daily walks in the sun
light for several hours at time. The
afflicted ear was thus exposed to the
southern sun, and after eight days the
margin of the cancer scaled off slowly
and left a smooth surface, and a sys-
tematic course of the same treatment
resulted in a complete cure.

largement. Most Of our factories have
been equipped with English cotton ma
chinery and English engines and boil
ers. l do not know whether there will
be much change in this particular in
ordering for the prospective increases,
but | am inclined to believe that it
will take some years to wean the Japa-
nese from their Partially for English
machines.
Still, should like to see representa-
tives of American machinery manu-
facturers, especially Of cotton spinning
and weaving, taking advantage Of the
opportunity to present the advantages
Of their machines to the japanese just
at this time when they are looking to
the securing of the best results to fol
low their labors.
Japan looks to China to find there her
largest market for cotton products. The
demand Of the Chinese for cotton
goods has been increasing steadily for
more than twelve years. So far India
dominates the Chinese market for cot
ton, with Japan a close second. Owing
to the nearness of these countries they
must hold the market for a long time,
no matter how enterprising other pro-
ducers at distance may become. 1t
seems to be the intention Of the Japa-
nese to drive India from first place and
become the ruling factor in the Chinese
cotton market.
l mention industries either greatly
enlarged or established through the de-
mands Of the war. Notably there are
fish and meat canning factories. Dur
ing the war the soldiers and the ships
Of the mikado took all the output Of
these factories. Now they have a ca
pacity greatly in excess Of the peace
demands Of the japanese people. Sam
pie shipments have been sent into Chi
ma, Korea, Australia and even to the
United States. understand that these
shipments have been received with
very great favor. We are reasona-
bly, sure of a market for canned goods
Of this character, and as our supplies
are near and abundant we look for a
good export business.

The solution of the social question
would be found in a perpetual

New Kind of Red Light District.

The injunction, Tell your troubles to
policeman" no longer applies at
Tulsa, 1. T., says the Kansas City
Journal. By a new arrangement any
person wanting a police officer notifies
central of the fact, and she summons
a policeman by turning on a red light,
which can be seen from the principal
thoroughfares of the city. The police
man then calls up central and ascer-
tains the location Of the trouble. Thus
limitations have been placed on the red
light district.

FAMOUS RAM CONSTRUCTED
LONG TIME AGO Is NOW
cRUMBLING TO PIECES.
NAVY Department Is In a Quandry
Concerning the Ships Future
Design Was ImpraetIeabIe.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 16.-
The Katahdin, the famous ram con-
structed after designs made by Admiral
Ammon, and which for long time has
been lying idle at the League Island
navy yard, is gradually falling to
pieces. The navy department is in
quandary concerning the ships future
and it is doubtful whether the $1,000
REQUIRED to make the necessary re-
pairs on the ship will be allowed. The
naval constructors and others who
have been examining the ship with
view to ascertaining whether it is
possible to convert it to some practical
use have not yet reported the result of
their investigations, but the vessel is
SO constructed for the purpose of ram
mnig in a naval engagement, that the
removal of this principal Characters
tic would cost more than the ship
would be worth without the novel
structural function of offense. 1t was
realized early that the Katandin was
failure, and it was decided that as lit
tie as possible would be done with the
ship AS nobody wants the ship and
nothing can be made of it, 1t is not
considered wise to expend any money
for keeping it at loss. For that rea-
son it is quite probable that the Katah-
allowed to crumble to pieces In the
grave yard of the navy at League
Island.

BLOW AT DIVORCE.
Death, Not Courts, May Sunder Ties
and Permit Marriage Of Divorce.

QUEBEC, Sept. 16.-No clergyman
owing obedience to the Church of
England in Canada, hereafter can
solemnize a marriage for a ivorced
person as long as the other party to
the divorce is living.
This was the decision reached by
the general synod of the Dominion of
Canada, representing every diocese
an part of the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and from the
American boundary to the Arctic
ocean.
The bishops were unanimous on the
subject, nineteen of them being pres
ent. Only eight of the clergy op-
posed it.
Bishops Doane of Albany, futile of
Missouri and Morrison of Duluth,
spoke strongly on the evils Of di-
vorce in the United States, and a
statement which had great weight in
producing the adoption of the canon
was that made by George c. Thomas
of Philadelphia, who said an Ameri-
can judge told him ne dissolved ten
times as many marriages as any
clergyman solemnized.

TORTURE AGED BROTHERS.
Wealthy Farmers Put to Torment to
Disclose Hidden Hoard.

ELGIN, ILL.,, Sept, 16.-Bound,
gagged and tortured by fire by three
bandits who sought to make him re-
veal the hiding place of treasure they
thought concealed in the house, An
drew and John Fohren, old and
wealthy farmers living near Spring
Lake, twelve miles north of here, are
in a serious condition, and it is feared
that the shock and injuries may prove
fatal to Andrew, the elder.
Andrew, after the robbers mad

managed to free himself from the
thongs which bound him, and started
across the fields to secure help. The
soles of his feet were blistered, how
ever, and before he had gone far ne
tainted and fell in a ditch. Finally he
revived and made his way to a
cheese factory, where he gave the
alarm, but the bandits had gained a
start Of several hours and could not
be found.
The bandits appeared at II O'Clock
last night, and when refused admit

powered the old men after a brief
struggle. They, then searched the
house and, finding only $3.50, con-
cluded that larger sum was con-
cealed somewhere. They beat and
choked their victims, and finally ap-
piled likhted papers to the soles OF
their feet to make them tell where the
supposed treasure was hiddn.
After half an hour of excruciating
torture, John Fohren tainted from
pain, and the robbers left John was
still unconscious when assistance ar
rived this morning, but revived anG

Food Value of Bananas.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Professors of dietetics tell us that
the banana is not as many fruits are,
a flavor and nothing more, but a
food and a source of real nutriment
1t not only gratifies the palate, but
supplies material for combustion and
the maintenance Of animal heat
while it also builds up the muscles
and repairs the worn and threadbare
nerves.
The flour made from it in it's drie,!
state is equal in nutritive value to
rice, and how invigorating and sus-
tanning rice is has been demonstrated
in the recent achievements Of the
Japanese. Dried and sprinkle with

recently introduced in this country
the upstart banana is, weight for

But it is in the fresh state that the
banana chiefly appeals to us. It's

are inviting and it's pleasant sapor is

TAKE BODY FROM LAKE.
Unidentified Man Was Probably Dead
at Least a Year.

ST. PETER. Mimi, Sept. 16.-The
badly decomposed body of an uniden-
titled man was found in Corr's lake,
five miles east of this city, about 9
o'clock this morning. o. P. Ball made
the gruesome discovery while hunting
ducks Several times this summer Mr..
Ball had noticed a strange object
short distance from shore, but mad al
ways supposed it to be the carcass Of
a calf. This morning, passing it in his
boat, he prodded it with an oar and
was Mortified to raise, first, flesh
less hand and then a grinning skull
from the water.
Without attempting to land the
corpse, Mr.. Ball drove to Pettia sta
ton and notified the officials Of LIE
Seur county. There is a theory that
the remains are those of a farm hand
who worked in the vicinity of Marys-
burg about a year ago. One night
late last fall this person appeared at
the home of James Cashin, on the
east bank of the lake, and asked to
be directed to the Fred Conner place,
directly opposite, where he said ne
expected to find employment. He
never reached the Conner home, and
it is supposed that he missed mis- way
in the darkness, laundering into the
muddy ooze at the edge of the lake,
and being unable to extricate himself
persisted there.
Corr's lake, the scene of the tragedy
is a small sheet of water It's great
est depth is ten feet, and in some
seasons it is almost dry, but beneath
the shallow water is a bottomless bed
of mud and the shores are very diff
cult of access. To all appearances tine
man waded out about thirty feet from
shore and was there held fast by the
clinging mud. Muskrats and small
fish have eaten the flesh from the ex-
posed parts of the body, and it is now
little better than a skeleton. But
toned closely about it, however is a
fur overcoat, and it was this garment
that deceived Mr.. Ball into thinking
the body that of an animal.

Nelson Goes On the Stage.

Outside of the actual earnings in
the ring, it certainly pays to be a
champion pugilist. Battling Nelson is
prepared to demonstrate this, for he is
now showing at the California theatre
as feature of the burlesque show now
being run at the Bush Street house.
He will get $500 for a weeks work,
which consists of sparring three rounds
with a local boxer.
The Battler's salary is the largest
ever paid to lightweight boxer for
appearing on the stage. Although Nell
son signed for only one week, he has
an offer to work over the Empire cir
cult, known as the big Wheel" at the
same salary
The securing of this large figure was
due to characteristic of Nolans that
has kept him very much in the public
eye during the past few days.
The managers of the show, Mariell
& Hall, offered Nolan $1,000 for the
week.
This boy is card" said Nolan. Il
want $500 for him."
Give you $780," said Manager Mar
tell.
Il want $780," answered Nolan.
Martell & Hall might have been dis
posed to argue the point, but in the
light of what happened regarding the
referee of Saturdays fight, they sur
rendered gracefully and raised their Of
fer to the figure asked for by Nolan.

THE BUG MADE GOOD BAIT.
Buena Vista Fisherman Catching All

Bemidji, Mimi, Sept. 16.-J. w.
Speelman, resident Of Buena Vista.
has made a discovery that promises to
make him at once famous and also
possessed of much of this worlds
goods The discovery is nothing less
than illuminated bait" and bids fair
to revolutionize the methods now in
vogue for catching fish. Buena Vista
is located on what is known as the
international divide being the high
est point On the continent where the
waters divide, the streams On the
north of Buena Vista flowing toward
the Hudson bay and those on the
south vending their way to the
streams leading to the Gulf Of Mexi-
co. Recently Mr.. Speelman has been
catching large quantities of fish at
night, and many people accused him
of using unlawful methods in procur
ing his catches.
This was denied by Speelman, who
has divulged his secret. He took
prominent citizen of Bemidji out in
boat with him and let him in on his
scheme. He opened a small tin box,
in one corner of which he had a num-
Der of common lightning bugs which
were continually Illuminating the in
terror of the box with flashes of light
Taking from the box a glass object
shaped like a small minnow and hol-
low inside, Speelman grasped one Of
the lightning bugs and placed it inside
the glass fish. There was at once
flashes from the bug, which lighted
up the fish and made it shine very
brightly.
Speehnan cast the fish out into the
lake and it at once sank to the end of
his line and could be plainly seen at
intervals from the boat, despite the
darkness. The bug inside the fish
kept flashing his light, when suddenly
there was a rush through the water
and large fish grabbed the hooks and
was soon fast. 1t was a pike, and
was safely landed in the boat. This
operation was repeated, and when the
bug died and failed to flash light, the
glass fish was replenisned with an
nj hue
hour, when Speelman and his compan-
ion returned to th5 Hotel Summit,
having caught all that the law will al
low.
1t now develops that Speelman had
been working on the bug idea for some
time, with view of catching the large,
fish at night by utilizing the millions
of lightning bugs that infest the coun-
try about his nome. He experiments
with the bug and found that it woul
live for half an hour in a common
glass bottle, tightly corked He the
