. MEDICAL BREVITIEs.

Women are to be admitted to be-
doctors of medicine by the University
Of Prague, which, however, refuses to
admit them as doctors of philosophy.
At a recent session Of the Paris
Academy Of Medicine, M. Chauffard
stated that in many patients treated
by X-rays for cancer of the tongue, the
growth had become rapidly dissem-
seminated. The academy adopted his
conclusion that medical men alone
should have the right to use X-rays
for treatment.
One Of the most important causes of
disease, according to Prof. Macfaydyen
Of London is the inhalation Of parti-
cles Of dust in the streets Of cities. He.
holds that the dust not only often con-
tains the germs Of disease, but that
1t has a. deletarious effect upon the
respiratory organs, through mechan-
ical irritation.

It Is perhaps not an overestimate
OF the value Of the salt industry in
the state Of Kansas to. say that no
other industry in the state has saved
the whole people of the state as much
money as the manufacture of salt.
When Kansas salt was first put on the
market IS years ago, eastern salt was
selling at an average price Of about
50 per barrel. In IS years there has
been manufactured and consumed in
Kansas alone, approximately, $780,
900 barrels of salt. It is very con-
sentative to estimate that the price
has been reduced at least 81 per
barrel.

but that did not prevent young Mrs.

democratic manner and receiving her
friends with jolly handshake and

the, subject of constant remark that
the two principals in this great event
conducted themselves so modestly and
IN matter of fact manner. They were
subject to more scrutiny than would
have been an engaged couple in a
country village, but they acted as
though unconscious Of the interest
they were exciting. Just as in the vii
lage the gossips discussed every move,
word and act Of the prospective bride
and groom SO in Washington the every
day life Of Mr.. Longworth and Miss
Roosevelt was examined and every
step taken criticised or commented
upon.
Mr.. Longworth was perhaps the most
bored person in connection with the
whole affair. He had to pay the pun
ishment of falling in love with the
presidents daughter. That he was
really and truly in love with her
there could be no sort of doubt and
SO he endured the jokes and chatting
of his congressional colleagues, the in
trusion and impudence Of the. public as
Dravely and good naturally as ever did
knight of old as he went out seeking
adventures for his lady love. At first
the bushes would spread over t'Nick's
countenance and suffuse the shining
badness of his head, but as time wore
on he could even occupy the speakers
chair and encounter the g1ances and
curious stares from the galleries and
the floor without SO much as an addi-
tional tinge of color to his cheek.
Miss Roosevelt, now Mrs. Long,
worth, did not change one iota in her
demanor or manner of life. She took
the affair as a matter of course and
she inherits from her father the fac
ulty of not worrying about anything,
but meeting the circumstances and
necessities as they come.
