Some Radium Figures.

How far science is ready to go
to benefit mankind is shown to a
remarkable degree by a contract
recently made for the delivery OF
a minute quantity of radium TO
the Radium Institute at London
This exceedingly scarce commod-
ity, of which so little is known.
has among its other strange prop
critics some effect upon the dread
disease. cancer. This effect is
thought to be curative. At any
rate scientists and physician are
willing to go to any bounds If
only they can triumph over this
foe of the flesh.
Now radium is obtained in guam
titles almost immeasurably small
In this case Lord Iveagh and Sir
Ernest Cassel have contracted
with a British mining company
to deliver seven and one-hali
grams of pure radium bromide
or the equivalent of a little more
than the quarter Of an ounce. II
will be ob aimed only for an enor.
nous price. The rate Is four
thousand pounds sterling, or $40,
600 a gram. This means that
for the supply to be furnished
under this contract $50, 900 will
be paid.
Radium is obtained from pitch
blende residues which constitute
aby-product of the manufacture
ef uranium. 1t is estimated tna'
il will require from five to sever
tons of pitchblende in the manu-
facture of the precious bromide
2O.COO or 1900 tons of chemical:
and perhaps many hundreds o.
thousands of tons ofwater. The
processes of manufacture will re-
ouire several months.
After it is manufactured thi:
precious BIZ of mineral. which {
puff of wind might dissipate is tc
be presented by Lord Iveagh anc
Sir Ernest Cassel to the Radiun
Institute, which is in charge OF
Sir Frederick TreveS. Some SIN
months hence the Institute viii
be prepared to receive cancer
patients and apply the energy OF
radium to the relief of their ills,
1t is scarcely possible for the
human mind to grasp the rela
tionship between the mlnuteness
Of the supply of the commodity
and its tremendous value and Inn
portance. Such figures as th'
contract involves are bewilderlnt
TO contemplate. Superior to it al
is the great dignity of scienc'
and scientific men who are able
TO unlock such secrets of nature
The whole world acknowledge:
the nobility Of the Radium lnsti
tute and the benefcent work it i
trying to accomplish.

A SQUARE DEAL.
All Advertisers Are Treated
Alike.


The COURIER has but ore rate
to all advertisers and treats al
advertisers in the same manner
and squarely. 1t frequently
comes to Us that we lose business
because the other papers make
concessions with respect to their
rates. We urge you not to be
misled by newspapers which are
granting you concession In
that kind of a newspaper you
never know when you have
reached the bottom. You may
think you are favored, but your
neighbor is probably nearer the
bottom than you are
The advertising department OF
any newspaper is only conducted
rightly when the rate is the
same to everybody under the
same conditions. When a news
paper offers you a cheap rate,
YOU can easily bank on it that II
is a cheap newspaper and is con.
scious of it's own weakness and
probably has a smaller circula.
ton than it is generally credited
with.
rhe CoURIR wants all the ad'
vertising that its circulation de
serves and expects to charge {
fair price for the same. Al
present the COURIER knows tha'
il has much the largest circula
ton in Dubois County and knows
that commensurate with tina
circulation its rate is the lowest
