RADIUM NOW FOR ALL.

Since the discovery of radium and its value as a therapeutic agent a few years ago. laboratory workers have been striving to find an efficient sub stitute for this most costly adjunct to the outfits of physicians and surgeons pr. J. B. Shober seems to have found one that is cheap and reliable.
 The discovery resulted from. his in vestigations of the radioactive prop erty of cocoanut charcoal. and is de- scribed in the Journal of the American Medical association.
 He passed a slow current of air through a celluloid tube. eight inches long and three quarters of an inch in diameter. cbated on the inside with collorion solution containing one milli- gram of strong radium bromide, into a porcelain vessel containing quan- titv of cocoanut charcoal. At the end of a week he found the charcoal strongly radioactive, dischargiDg his electroscope more rapidly than would specimen of high grade pitchblende ore.
 He then spread a quantity of this charcoal over a key on an X-ray plate, and obtained a very strong picture oI the key after an exposure of four days He made the same tests with untreat- ed charcoal with negative results Tests of the degree of radio-activity of cOcoanut charcoal thus treated and its rate of decay, made for him by D. II. Kabakjain. are given in detail. and show that this substance can be raised from 11O to l6O times the radio activity of uranium oxide and retains this for a number of days before 1t IS entirely dissipated.
 He quotes also from R. w. Boyle as to the radioactive emanations of char coal, as confirmatory of his findings. and proposes to utilize this property for external and internal radium treat ment-Dr Shober at the American Medical Association.

A Georgia Woman Tells How She Felt Like She

 Cardui Helped Her

Pelham, Cal was in terrible fix" writes Mrs. F.. l.. Bigham, of Pelham, Ga, 'I was so weak I could hardly walk across the room. had such pains in my sides and would swell up so I could hardly stand it. 1 was irregular and could not do my work. My head ached ali the time. so bad at times I felt like it would kin me. I also suffered with draw ing pains in my legs and my back hurt and I was getting poorer every -Isy work and I feel better than I have for some time
 "I cannot praise Cardui strongly enough. I will recommend. it to my 1riends."

THE UMPIRE IN BASEBALL.
Unlike the Fight Referee Or the Race Judge, He Can't Call Any Play
 Draw.

Good umpires are rare. In the whole country there are not more than ten first rate ones. The combination of the keen eye. nimble brain, and cold nerve is not a common one.
 The umpire is the chain lightning of baseball. His decisions are rendered in the fifth part of a second; he ren- ders them knowing that he must stand by them afterward. no matter what happens. Every man inside the fence, whether blinded by prejudice or loy- alty to the home team, sees the same things and therefore feels that he has a right to his own opinion; but the umpire is the one man who is paid to know what he sees.
 The prize fight referee sometimes has to decide which boxer won a hard battle. He has had time in which to review the situation; the whole moving picture of the fight stretches backward in his memory. Should the choice prove a difficult one. there is always the comfortable middle ground the draw decision-in which neither man wins nor loses. The baseball um pire can render no draw decisions. The man is safe, or he is out.
 When two race horses come nodding down to the wire and two noses flash by the post so close together that a finger breadth means thousands of dollars to the packers, the race track judge may fall back on the dead heat.

RAPID RECOVERY OF
 hR. AND MRS. FISHER
Good News From Riverside Concern ing New Pastor of the First
 M. E. Church.

Word was received yesterday from Riverside. Cal. showing the rapid re coVory of Rev. R. $. Fisher and wife from the serious injuries recently re ceived in an automobile accident. Mir. Fisher is the newly appointed pastor of the First Methodist church of this city, He was to have preached in that church yesterday, but owing to the in iuries sustained was not able to come, but he is quite confident he will be able to be here next Sunday and preach. He expects to arrive here Thursday morning.
 In his absence one of the ministers of the Methodist Church South, attend ing that conference, preached to a large audience, and most acceptably, being Rev. pr Howells. presiding elder of the Los Angeles district of that church. All were delighted with his sermon. Then in another way he pleased his audience by telling them that he congratulated them on secur- ing Mir. Fisher for their minister for the next year. He said that a few years since he was in charge of a church in Los Angeles. and Rev. MT. Fisher was in charge of a church near by. so that he had many opportuni- ties to learn of his successes. He as- sured the congregation yesterday that their coming pastor is a man of great energy, a popular preacher. while he and his estimable wife are loved in the social circle. This but corrobo- rates the testimony previously received from various sources. No doubt he will be greeted by a large audience next Sunday morning.

A SONORA DISTRICT
 RICH IN MINERAL
A New Property Which Will Shortly
 Become a Shipper.

Douglas, Oct 16.-(Special Cores pondence to the Republican)-J. C. Brice and Joe Kentz have just re turned here from a long visit to their mines, which are located in Sonora. twelve miles southeast of this city. near Senisa Springs.
 The two men purchased the prop critics some time ago, and are now working men regularly in two shafts which are new. These have been sunk already to a depth of sixteen feet each. and about one hundred feet of drift work has been carried on. In addition to these two shafts the properties have also two fifty-fOot shafts
 Samples of ore taken from the workings were brought to Douglas and are displayed in the windows of the Peoples drug store. The properties have ores running in gold. silver and copper, the latter in value as high as 10 per cent.
 The mine is one of the many in Son ora recently reopened not far south of Douglas. If present indications hold out, it will ere long enter the field as d shipper.

An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment.
 This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky Plasters. It penetrates without rubbing through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief.
 Here's the Proof.
