S. II. McCarl, OF Brookings, will run
an excursion to Las Vegas, New Mexi-
CO, from which place he has just re-
turned, making a thorough investiga-

siders it the best proposition in the
Southwest, finding that they raise
practically everything that they raise
in this country in small grains, etc.
Root crops of the very best, with a
beet sugar factory in sight as soon
as there is enough acreage. Then this
will be 500 land. They farm as they
do here and with the same implements,
The government record shows that
in the past twenty years they have
had nineteen inches of rainfall a year,
practically all during the crop growing
season and claim that they would not
have a failure of crop ever If they only
had nine inches. The soil is exceed
ingly strong of a chocolate and black

MARVELS OF RADlUM.
Millions of Pounds Worth Thrown
Away as Refuse.

From Tit-Bits.
There are fortunes waiting for people
who can provide the newly founded Royal
British Radium Institute with supplies of
the famous new element, which is worth
something like 5000 times its weight in
gold. And the most amazing feature Of
rad,um is that 1t can be produced from
material which up to now has been val
ueless.
Radium, as is now generally known, is
extracted from pitchblende, a mineral
from which manium-a rare metal ~
color like that of nickel-is also extracted.
Hitherto. however, after uranium had
been extracted from the pitchblende, the
residue was thrown away as valueless.
although it is from this residue that
radiuu can be extracted. Certainly many
tons of pltchblende have to be handled
before a few grains of radium can be
found AS the thousandth part of a
grain. however, is worth about ELS, the
labor is not without its compensation.
Until lately one never dreamed that the
residues of pitchblende, after the chemi-
cal treatment extracting uranium, con-
tanned absolutely the source of radium,
and some years ago the company which
owns the mine in Cornwall from which
a yerv large part of the worlds supply
of pitchblende comes actually paid 49, Cd.

due carried away and tipped on waste

CURING A SUNBURN.
Oil to Which Most People Resort, Not
Thing to Use, Says Doctor.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Most people seem to believe that oil will
give relief in cases of sunburn which are
severe enough to need treatment
1T is certainly high time" doctor
said the other day, that persons suffer
ing from sunburn should know that 1t is
not going to do them any good to cover
themselves with oil of any kind. What is
needed is a cooling astringent
An application of oil in any form will
only serve to make the sunburn worse.
Yet in nine cases out of ten it will be oil
in some form that the sufferer will apply.
Where greasy applications will cause the
irritation of sunburn to continue, a cool
ing astringent applied on compress will
take away pain almost Immediately"
The sun has this year been blamed for
other evils than sunburns. There has been
an impression that the actinic rays have
been more powerful than usual and that
they have caused much eye trouble, the
sufferers being principally persons who
wear glasses.
There has been no increase in the sale
of our colored glasses" said an optician
in town, asked about the matter Sin spite
of the talk about the actinic rays this
summer. There has not been summer
in recent years without some story about
the actinic rays and their bad conse-
quences.
AT one time people were wearing yell
low glasses to counterfeit their effect; one
oculist gave his patients amethyst glasses
and at another time the only kind of
glasses that did any good were said to be
violet glasses. But the people who kept
on wearing their ordinary glasses seemed
to have just as comfortable eyes as those
that tried all these novelties"

time in which it is possible to serve sup
per there. The law requires the res
taurants to close at midnight, and that
leaves little time after the theatre. So
1t is easier to have a supper all ready to
serve.
But that is only possible when. it is
the same for everybody and costs the
same. So all the restaurants have sup

take that except when as a special lux
ury the supper has been ordered by the
host in advance.
But New Workers would never be sat
isfied to take their supper in that way.
They want to order for themselves In
the majority of cases there are very few
heavy dishes ordered for any of our sup
pers, and the women who order a bird
have usually gone as far as anybody. In
many cases men take only whisky.

supper are likely to go in much more

paid by our guests would be found to ex-

"Another aid to cheaper entertaining
in London is the costly table d'hote din
ner. In some of the hotels there it costs
as much as SO. 1t is a very elaborate
meal and makes a good show for the
money.
"a host may entertain four persons, in

the wines, much more deliberately than
he could in any New York restaurant.

ner on Sunday nights to try the public,

offer these so-called de luxe meals at

The question of wines is. OF course,
one that does not come into consideration
when one speaks of the cheap New York
dinners.
'Of course, the European diner who
pays the same price that the New Yorker
does" said the international authority on
cheap eating, has an advantage when 1t
comes to the question of wine, and the
prices mentioned here for cheap food must
be considered as without wine. Some Of
the foreign restaurants here have good
wine, but it is naturally sold at much
higher prices than abroad.
IT have noticed that the only persons
here who do not seem to have horror
of the American wines from the west
are the foreign restaurant keepers, who
declare that they are better than the
cheaper grades of imported wines. If the
New Yorker who is dining cheaply Is
willing to take the California wines he Is
going to do much better for his money
than if he insisted on the cheap Imported

Hest specimens of radium used in this
country were obtained from Austria. But
the Austrian government, recognizing the
scarcity of the new element, prohibited
it's expectation.
Some wonderful cures have been
brought about by the use of radium, al
though the experiments have naturally
been somewhat limited on account of its
scarcity. For external growths radiun
is wonderfully efficacious. Not only can
port wine stains and moles be cleared
away by the use of radium, but also
tumors and ulcers. Sir Frederick Treves
mentions the case of a girl who had a
tumor on her eyeid, in size equal to a
plum, which was removed by radium.
