DISCOVERY OF "RAOIO-TnOR"
DIR. BLACKMAR TELLS OF CURES
AND INTERESTING TESTS.
Claims That Its Therapeutic Value
Has Been Established Beyond
Question by Trial.

CHICAGO, February 2j.-Dr. r. II.
Blackmar of Hannemann Medical College
today told further details OF the discov
cry of ''radio-thor." which was made
public at New Orleans yesterday by Dr..
f. S. Bailey. also of Hahnemann Medi-
cal College. DR.. Blackmar was associated
with DIR. Bailey. in making experiments.
''One of our most curious experiments
with the new substance" said DR.. Black
mar. was the taking of q photograph
through stove lid on which some radio
thor had been spread. The powerful rays
|of this element ena bled the light to pass
through the iron plate. thus permitting
photograph of q number OF pennies ami
other articles on the opposite.
Its basis Is pitchbende. but with this
element are mingled others whose names
do not care to disclose at this time.
Some of them are SO rare that We keep
them in q safety deposit vault The new
element. while far from being inexpen-
sive, will be within the reach of every
body who needs II for treatment Its
action is quite as efflcacious AS that of
radium. There Is not enough radium In
the whole world to treat all the people
who seed its curative properties.
The therapeutic value of our RADIO
thor or tho-rad-x has been established be
yond question In the fourteen months
that we have been using 1t for the treat
ment Of disease. 1t never has failed TO
give relief and in many cases IL has cured.
Some of the diseases on which IL acts
successfully are cancer. tuberculosis OF
the skin, ulcers, birthmarks and nervous
affections. Its rays are as effective as
those of radium, although II does not act
so quickly. It's moderate action keeps II
from being harmfully caustic, as radum
likely is to be when in the hands OF un-
skilled persons. 1t has the same selectiye
power as radiunl-that is, il seems to act
only on tissues which are diseased, hay
ingno effect on healthy tissues. This pow
er, which has been well described by Sir
Frederick Treves in a recent article, no.
body is able to explain.

MORE CASH FOR AUDITORIUM
FOUR CONTRIBUTIONS OF $1,000
EACH RECEIVED.
Plans for Adjustable Partitions.
Ground Floor May Be Arranged
for Athletic Meets.

More contributions are coming in daily
to the fund for the Washington audito-
rum. There were announced yesterday
four subscriptions of $1,000 each, and sew
eral of smaller amounts.
1t is intended by the management to
have some sort of a permanent record
be preserved and perpetuated. One
scheme discussed and which may be
adopted is for a bronze memorial tablet
to be inserted in the wall of the building.
whereon all gifts, however large or small.
would be recorded.
The committee has been considering
the division of the interior space in the
building, and has about come to the con-
clusion to use adjustable partitions so
rooms may be enlarged or contracted. A
number Of assemblies by this scheme
could be carried on at the same time.
providing for each one as much space
as ii might require.
This is form of construction that has
never yet been used in Washington. 1t
has been tried elsewhere, and Is said to
be a success.
Another matter discussed Is that of ar
ranging the ground floor of the building
to make 1t available for indoor athletic
meets. Henry t. Bright, a patent law
yer and graduate of George Washing
ton University, has written to Commits
sioner Macfarand on the subject, point
ing out that there is no hall suitable for
che purpose in Washington. and asking
tr the auditorium cannot be constructed
TO remedy this deficiency.
Commissioner Macfarland has forward
ed the letter to George E. Hamilton.
chairman of the board of trustees. The
matter will be seriously considered.
The following contributions were an
nounced yesterday: F. p. May, $1,000;
Mrs b. H. Buckingham. 81 1000; Miss Isa

USE OF BENZoATE OF SODA.
Referee Board Submits Findings to
Department of Agriculture.

The referee board of the Department OF
A Agriculture has submitted Its findings on
the use of benzoate of soda In food prod
ucts, and the presence OF this drug has
been officially sanctioned by an order
signed by George B. Cortelyou. Secretary
of the Treasury; James Wilson. Secretary
of Agriculture. and Oscar Straus, Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor.
The referee board consists of DR. IRA
Remsen of Johns Hopkins, DR.. Russell III.
Chittenden of Yale, DIR. John II. Long OF
Chicago University. DR.. Alonzo r. Tay-
lor OF the University of California and DIR.
c. A. Herter of Columbia University, New
York. all distinguished chemists.
They carried on a series of tnvestiga-
tions, as the result of which they reported
to the Department of Agriculture that the
use of benzoate of soda, mixed with food.
is not deleterious or poisonous, and Is not
injurious to health, consequently the use
of benzoate of soda will not be objected
to under the food and drugs act, provided,
that each container or package of such
food is plainly labeled to show the pres
ence and the amount of benZoate of soda
it contains.
The food inspection decisions in conflict
with this ruling Will be amended accord
ingly.

A Big Cargo Of PHILIPPINE Hemp.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The first cargo of Philippine hemp that
ever came to this port. and the largest
cargo ever received in the United States.
came in Saturday on board the steamship
st. Patrick. In round figures there were
Is, 900 bales of the hemp or 80 carloads.
In other words, ten full trainloads Of
twenty-five cars each.
The cargo is consigned to the Inter-
national Harvester Company. through w.
J. Hammond e. Co, of this city. and has
come via the SueZ canal and New York
direct from Manila. In value II is esti-
mated at $26S, 600 The bringing in OF
this hemp is largely an experiment. IF
the plan proves successful II may mean
