NEW CANCER TREATMENT.

to Radfum.

External Form OF tho Malady Yields
to Radfum.
According TO Dr. Robert Able, sur
geon to st. Luke's hospital, New York
city. the correct use Of radium is cura-
tive in all cases OF superficial cancer,
some patients remaining cured for
three years. Often they come back
with q slight recurrence, but little
repetition Of the treatment immediate.
ly cures them again. Radfum alone,
he says, will cure most cases Of early
eptthelial cancer. The Roentgen rays
will cure many cases. but not all.
This good news to those who are at
flicted with the mosi dreaded Of all
diseases Is announced by DR.. Abbe to
the American Medical association after
three years use Of radium. In his ex-
periments he discarded all weak spec.
linens Of radium. using only the power
full combinations. which he applied in
a small cell covered by thin layer Of
mica. In ali the cures effected by DIR.
Abbe he had careful microscopic cor
roborations of the lesions by DR.. Fran
els C. Wood and others. .
OF the thirty-ffve cases Of lupus and
epithelioma not one failed to show
prompt healing action. Twenty, he
says, have been cured, at least for the
time, and with the probability that
many are permanent. but with slight
point or two OF recurrence In some,
which has always yielded to short
secondary treatment. MI1y Of the
cases were, he says. distinctly malig-
nant epitheliomas. They were various
ly placed on the head, face and shoul-
ders. Some produced extreme deform-
ity and offensive ulcers. Twelve cases
involved the nose, four the ear, four
the eyelld. five the cheek and four the
chest and scalp.
On the whole, they represented slow
growing epithelial cancers, existing
from two to twenty years. Some had
Invaded and eroded cartilage Of the
ear and nose, which healed equally
we'll Others invaded and destroyed
bone and yet in some instances yield
ed to the searching rays and healed
over. Little difference was shown in
susceptibility to the rays, whether the
disease was recent or Of many years
growth.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and if we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should d.
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and a long train
Of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago l suffered with
bad stomach-dyspepsi indigestion,
stipation-caused, know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
Il doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. I could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and be-
came discouraged.
GA friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and I began to use it. In less than
two weeks began to feel better, and
inside of two months / was a we'll
woman and have been ever since.
II can eat anything / wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond Of it." Name given by Postum

How well you both are looking!"
said Lillian.
For my own part" Billery declared,
'T feel like giant-at present unre-
freshed."
"I have ordered breakfast in my sit
ting room at the hotel. You will come
to my room, Belle, dear, and make a
little toilette there. Mr.. Billery must
look after himself. Will you join us as
soon as you can in No. 80, Mr.. Bill
ery?"
''In half an hour" said Billery, and
having seen to his luggage went into
the hotel for bath and a change

Worth KNOWING About,

If you need first-class laxative,
there is nothing better nor safer than
that old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills. Each pill contains one grain
of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which,
with other valuable vegetable prod.
ucts, make it a blood purifier of ex.
cellent character. If you are troubled
with constipation, one pill at night
will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century, and are for sale every.
where, either plain or sugar-coated.

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST.
The American Settler Is Welcomed
to Canada.

A number OF the leading newspa
pers on this side of the line have been
noticing the growth of the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten.
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were Alta homesteads entries
there in July of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these Alta homesteaders,
1912 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain, or of the 1926
from non-British countries. It ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this of the 1,212 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
''The compliment IS deserved. The
1922 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express well says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and is aware
Of every phase of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge Of what IS
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what is required to
bring success, and he is able and will
ing to do it, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the
SOIL Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads of the Canadian West,
and there are hundreds of thousands
Of them left, that is extended to the
settler from the Western States.

Ibid you ever write a thing that

Ellen Douglas Deland, who writes fol

"a Little Son Of Sunshine" The child
in Mrs. Deland's book and the Little
Son" are so much alike that one au
thor might easily have conceived both

similarity of the children, and she and

CURIOUS PEASANT SUPERSTITION
Horses Ridden by the spirits-Winds

Horses Ridden by the Spirits-Winds
That Watt Thanks of the Dead.
1t was formerly almost universally
believed that on All Saints day the
dead were permitted to leave their
tombs and to roam abroad, says the
London Tribune. In some parts OF
Britanny, and in other places, the
peasants even now are careful to lock
UP their horses in the stables lest the
dead, rising from their graves in the
early morning, should seize them and
ride furiously to some distant spot
they may have frequented in life.
In the Northern departments people
refrain from slamming doors sharply
on this day lest they should hurt an
invisible spirit entering, and the chill
dren are forbidden to throw stones
into the hedges or trees for fear that
the missiles should wound the soul OF
some departed relation or friend hov.
ering about in them.
In Alsace little lamps, lanterns and
glimmering tapers arranged in tho
form of a cross are seen burning all
night long close to the ground in many
a cemetery. They are destined to re-
ioice the souls as they rise from their
graves.
Perhaps the most common Of all
superstitions concerning the dead is
that about noon on All Saints day
there comes a gentle gust of wind.
The peasants in the fields raise their
heads in. the hope and expectation OF
feeling it, for it is the dead waiting
their thanks to the living for their
prayers and remembrance of them.

what is going to happen"
You're free to do what you like in
that respect, sir" said the sergeant.
eff your news should set him on the
move he'll be nabbed at once Youc
better put him on his guard in that
particular likewise"
81 think you need have no fear OF
any attempted evasion" said Billery,
with a laugh.
1--WE shall see, sir" Holt replied; L
shall have everything in hand tonight,
I expect, and shall be back in town to-
morrow evening If there's any infor-
nation at my disposal as you'd care to
