RADIUM TO CURE CANCER.
$1,000 Worth is sewed in Wouan's
Stomach.

Paris, France.-The scientific world
is watching with interest an expert
ment for the cure of cancer by radi-
UNI, which, aside from it's novelty,
promises the most eextraordinary re-
suits. Al speck Of radium, valued at
$4,000, has been sewn up in the
stomach of a woman, a patient at
the Pasteur institute in an effort to
destroy cancercus growth. The
is being attempted by DR.. Roux.
Pasteur's successor.
Dr.. Roux used a tiny glass tube
and a speck of radium no bigger than
a pins head, but worth $4,000, in his
operation. He carefully sewed up the
ound, kept the patient under obser-
walton for forty-eight hours, until the
wound began to heal, and now has an
nounced-that if in month no morti-
fication or sign Of inflammation is left
it will mean that the cancer has dis
appeared.
Al feature of the experiment is that
in case it is successful the radium
can be used time and time again
without diminishing its curative quail
tiles.

to the, revenue agents, than Ill MANY
years. These three states now have
laws prohibiting distilieries from OPP

In alabama the law went into eff
fecrS on July /, 1905; in Georgia on
January 1, 1868, and in North Caro-
4lwina, January l, 1909. Many legiti-
mate dlsullerle3 nave moved to Flor
ida and other states where the inhi-
bluion does not exist. Whiskey be-
ing more difhcult to obtain in legit-
innate way, mas greatly increased the
profits OF illicit dlsIlIIing, with the
result that the activities of the in
teInal revenue bureau at this time
is largely dlrected towards the noun
tain sections OF these three states.
In 1908 there were 4 ,l30 illicit stills
destroyed; in 1907 there were 1,139,
and III 1876 there were 1876, but the
returns Tor the nineN months OF the
present tlscal year show a decided
increase in the number destroyed, the
number so far reported this year being
1,017, with the probability that by

been increased approximately 1900.

there is the most activity among the
so-calleld "moonshiners" embraces

New York TO be used in bearing the
cotton market. 1t has ceased its IN
Quiries
Through special agents OF the de-
partmeLt in the cotton growing states
the subject was investigated on com
plant Ut B. G. West of Memphis,

ion. THESE agents reported that they
find no trace OF any general move
ment' of this kind Therefore, Vic
tor H. Olmstead, chief of the bureau
of statistics OF lnel department OF as
ricultule e., recommended that the whole
matter be dropped. This course IS
approved by Secretary Wilson.
Secretary Wilson was asked II any
effort mad been made by his depart
ment to ascertain if low grade or dog
cared cotton was being neld in the
warehouses in New York city TO de-
press the cotton market.
He replied that there had not; that
the efforts OF his department had been
exerted, through special agents in the
cotton states, to lind out if any cot
ton was being shipped. He did no.
know whether any such cotton was
now in New York.
The secretary was reminded of the
frequent complaints made by cotton
farmers that a lot Of unspinnable cot
ton OF no commercial value, was kept
by traders on the New York cotton
exchange and rendered on contracts
the object being to have the man
receiving the tender refuse to accept
and settle his future contract" &C
count on cash basis.
In reply the secretary stated thai
this opened up different subject, ano
was not involved in the complaint Of
