Easily Cured of ncaneer.'

A New Yorker who recently lost
his father from cancer of the throat
seemed suddenly afflicted with the
same disease. His throat bothered
him necessarily, his speech became al
most unintelligible and he grew bag
gard and thin from anxiety and pain.
Most of all he missed his cigars, for
his physician at once cut off all smok-
ing. One day he met an old college
friend who had developed into a sue
cessful dentist. In the course of their
first conversation the patient men
toned that he had been having sore
trouble with the plate attached to an
upper set of false teeth.
A large and complicated bridge was
finally inserted and the plate discard
ed. To the patients amazement, the
throat trouble disappeared along with
the plate.

HOSPITAL PATIENT SUICIDES.

Mrs. MoreIand Of Granger Ties Strap
to Fire Escape-Jumps to Death.
Des Moines, June 6.-Mrs. Mary
Moreland of Granger, patient at the
Methodist hospital, has commit
ted suicide by hanging herself
from the fire escape of the building
with strap taken from telescope in
her room.
The time at which the deed was COM
mitted is not known, as the body was
only found at an early hour yesterday
morning. when the absence of the pa
tient was discovered by a nurse in
charge of the ward.
Unknown to anyone, Mrs. Moreland,
who was patient just recovering
from minor operation performed
some days ago by DR.. Smouse, had
arisen from her bed sometime in the
night, taken strap from a telescope
belonging to her and kept in the room,
and, slipping from her room, tied it
to the fire escape, adjusted it to her
throat and jumped from the landing to
her death.
At an early hour nurse entering
Mrs. Moreland's room after being out

ing was noticed and the shocking sight
of her body, clad only in her night
clothes, brought sudden realization
of her violent death.
Cause is Unknown.
No reason for the deed can be as.
signed, but it is thought the determin.
alton to end her life must have come
to Mrs. Moreland during a spell of
temporary insanity and that the means
selected for attaining the object were
those first presenting themselves when
she arose from her bed.
Mrs. Moreland was about 35 years
of age and a member of we'll known
family at Granger. She has been sub.
ject at times since her illness ap.
peared to slight fits of melancholia,
but these had never before developed
any alarming symptoms, and during
her present sojourn in the hospital
have been wholly lacking.
Her body was taken to L. F. Shank's
undertaking parlors and later shipped
to her home in Granger.

North had an enemy, it was certainly
no one in this house."
