CANCER CURE BLAcKL1sTED.
Post Office Issues Fraud Order
Against Fake Remedy.

Another firm making claims to cure the
most serious cases Of cancer by mail has
been put on the list of 'undesirables"
by the Post Office Department.
This time it Is the DR.. Curry Cancer
Cure Company and E. w. Ramsey as
secretary and manager, Lebanon. Ohio
After a thorough investigation by the
Post Office Department 1t has been proven
that this firm has been engaged in con-
Quoting a scheme for obtaining money
through the mails by means of false
and fraudulent pretenses. and a fraud
order has been issued against them.
The people doing business under the
name claimed to have the discovery that
has startled the medical world as a
sure cure for cancer in the short time
of ten or fifteen days These people got
their business entirely through advertis-
ing which conveys the impression that
they had a positive cure for the disease.
When once the DIR. Curry Cancer Cure
people got a letter from a prospective
patient he was the recipient of great
numbers of letters until he finally yielded
to the treatment, which 1t was eventually
agreed to carry out for SO.
Samples of various drugs used in the
treatment were analysed by the scientists
of the Agriculture Department with the
result that the so-called remedies amount
ed TO nothing more or less than dope"
which would render in some instances
a temporary relief from pain

you for?" are the questions that greet
each incoming delegate.
The first query refers to the friendly
fight between ex-Gov Van SAINT of Mime
sofa and Judge William A. ketcham of
Indiana for the chief command, while
the second has to do with the contest be-
tween Atlantic City and st. Louis for the
forty-fourth encampment. partial poll
taken last night is said to have shown
160 Van SAINT votes out of total of
about 400.
AS between Atlantic City and st. Louis
the issue is even more uncertain. The
retiring commander. Henry NJ. Nevius. is
exercising his influence in favor OF the
seaboard city, and the ambition of Denver
to gain the 1911 meeting may also count
against st. Louis.

Two frame houses belonging to T. M.

of Henry street between Cameron and
Queen streets. which are being moved
through the streets to a vacant lot on
the east side of Columbus street between
Oronoco and Pendleton streets, are just

of trouble, for this morning the work
of hauling them through the streets was
stopped because, it is said. property own
ers in the section of the city where they
are to be taken objected.
The houses are in the middle of the
street at Alfred and Queen streets. The
work of moving them farther has been
stopped by the owner owing to the OBJ

ago the city council granted permission
to Mr.. Cragg to have the houses moved
TO the lot in question. 1t was stipulated
however providing there was no objec-
ton on the part of the adjoining property
owners" 1t now seems that the property
owners object. 1t is regarded as more
than probable that the houses will be
taken to another lot in that section OF
the city instead of the proposed location
on North Columbus street
