Cancer

There are many forms of cancer but all
are malignant and dangerous. No other
form of disease has proven more OBJ
stinate to treatment in the past, or more
destructive to life than cancer. Thous-
ands of remedies have from time to
time been exploited as certain speei1cs
for its cure but each and every one in
time has been proven to be unreliable or
nearly worthless Only in a small per
centage of eases have any of these
various so-ealled specifies effected cures,
but in many cases they have served TO
relieve pain and hinder the progress of
the malady And nothing till the advent
of the X-Rays and the Violet rays was
ever found to be absolutely reliable ana
these only so in very favorable cases Tor
with cancer. as with consumption, no
cure is possible after the disease has
rast a certain stage.
in Tho cure of cancer We have at the
expense of much labor and money Gull
ed from every source the best OF all
accredited remedies and now. by using
these i'm connection with the A-RaNs ana
Violet RAYS. we are rarely ever deteated
in our efforts to cure our patients who
come to us afflicted with any form OF
lupus. cancer or other malignant charac-
ter of ulcers and Sores and IN no IN
stance do we even fail to cure superficial
cancers when same is uncomphcated by
some very pronounced hindering cause.
In the treatment of cancer or what
ever form or nature we employ only
those remedies of truly scientific char
aeter and rarely If ever use the knife, or
the more painful applications of an es-
charotic nature, which In the main IS
emr1cvcd by the numerous cancer doc
tors who infest the country. But what
ever the character of the cancer ulcer
or old sore we only employ the agepcies
which ne most reputable authorities of
this country and of Europe have given
sanction to and approved as the most
certain in effecting a cure and at the
same time the least dangerous and pain

that one needs to buy seed only once in
that period of time. The only expense
incident to the growing of alfalfa after
the first crop is that of fertilizing the
ground.
Encouraging Results.
THE result was highly gratifying. The
twenty acres netted, the first year, more
than thirty tons of alfalfa, which in the
open market sold for from SIS to $40 a ton,
thereby netting me not less than $40 an
acre. Even If the crop had to be sown each
year" continued Colonel Johns. 1T would
still be more profitable than cotton-grow-

year. One sowing will last fifteen years.

LIBRARY INVESTIGATION AGAIN
POSTPONED; THIS TIME TO 1906

The library investigation again has
been postponed by the city council,
this time to some indefinite date after
the first of the year. The attorneys
for Miss Mary Jones and those rep
resenting the library directors have
been invited to meet with the council
Dec. 10 and fix on some date that will
be agreeable to all concerned.
At the last meeting of the council,
before the members went on the owens
river junket, the attorneys for Miss
Jones asked that the date for the In
vestigation be fixed Dec. L.. 1t was
stated that Attorney Will A. Harris,
who is one of the counsel employed by
Miss Jones, would have to go east
about Christmas and that Dec. 12
would be the most convenient for the
former librarian and her attorneys.
Through the determined stand of
Councilman Geo. A. Smith this date
was finally agreed on by the council.

Lawler, who represents the library
directors, appeared before the council

FAVoRS REFORM OF FOOTBALL
DR.. David Starr Jordan Believes Game
Has Its Usefulness and Only
Needs Improvement
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Nov.
27.-President David Starr Jordan re-
turned to the university last night af-
ter an absence in the east of several
weeks. The chief object of his trip was
to attend the first meeting of the
trustees of the Carnegie fund estab-
lished for INDECENT college professors.
While in Washington, DR.. Jordan
was present at the conference between
Dr. j. j. White, professor of surgery
at the University of Pennsylvania. and
President Roosevelt on the football sit
uation, at which the president ex-
pressed his ideas very strongly.
DR.. Jordan found that the football
agitation was very marked throughout
the east and has written an article for
Golfers Weekly on the subject which
will appear shortly.
DR.. Jordan is of the opinion that
football is too valuable a game to
lose, but that it has become subject to
| abuses which the college world ought
| to be bold enough to overcome.
intercollegiate football on the Pacific
coast, he says, has been remarkably
free from crookedness for the past four
years and shows a great contrast to
easten methods.
In reply to a telegram from the Chi
cago Tribune this morning. asking for
ent discussion. DR.. Jordan telegraphed
as follows:
Most football accidents occur in sec
ondary schools. Football matches in
| such schools should be discouraged. Let
boys play with each other. The game
| needs some changes toward simplicity
and reduction of strain. What changes
will make better game experts must
decide.
THE greatest present evils rest on
professionalism, the playing of outside
toughs under irresponsible coaches to
the end of victory at any price. No
man who has not done mans work
as student should play, no one should
play in more than four or five inter-
collegiate games in one season, a dirty
player should be permanently ruled off
the field and college authorities should
meet a gentlemen's agreement that
each man using the college name is a
bona flde student and an amateur.
"The game, with all its faults, has
enormous usefulness and should not be
! given up without resolute effort to
| clear it from parasites and abuses. For
all these in last analysis the lndiffer-
ence of college authorities is respon-
| Sible"

been fixed without the consent of the
persons he represented and added that
he would have to be in court on an
important case set for Dec. 12 that
would occupy the entire week.
On this information Councilman
Kern introduced a resolution that the
attorneys for both sides be invited
to confer with the council Dec Il
and fix on n date after Jan. / that
would suit everyone. Councilman
Smith, who was responsible for the
previous arrangement, was not at the
council meeting.
"I want to state here that the coun-
ell is not attempting to shirk the re-
sponsibility of the investigation and
that 1t will be held sooner or later"
said President Summerland.
The intimaton was given that the
council wished to postpone the In
quiry owing to the fact that Coun-
Gilman Hitler will be away during
the entire month of December but it
was stated that two councilmen would
ask release from their duties during
January.
