MOGAN WANTS JURY
SERVICE MADE FREE
VIII Suggest Memorial to Legis-
lature AboIiShing Daily Fee

That the legislature be memorialized
by the superior judges Of this city
to adopt a law abolishing the jury fee
Of 81 a day in all cases, civil as we'll
as criminal, viii be suggested by
Judge tAIogan at the meeting of judges
tomorrow. He believes that only by
having jurors serve without pay can
the evil OF the so called professional
juror" be eliminated.
The great majority Of citizens who
serve upon juries do not care about
the 81 fee" said Judge Mogan yester-
day. 1t is only the professional juror
who thinks of the money he can make
by serving. The evil effect of the
system lies in this, that jurors who
are anxious to earn the stipend, while
not, perhaps dishonest IN the sense
that they are susceptible to bribes,
are yet unfaithful in the performance
OF their public duty because they curry
favor with corporations that have fire.
Quent litigation by always voting in
their favor
Judge Mogan is also a strong sup
porter of the suggestion of Judge Law
lOr that a bill be submitted to the leg
islature providing for a preliminary
examination being made of all citizens
called for jury duty before their names
are placed in the big box of 2,40O
names from which juries are drawn
during the year.

Charcoal Removes
Stomach Poisons
Pure Charcoal Will Absorb One Hun.
dred Times It's Volume in
Poisonous Gases

Charcoal was made famous by the
old monks of Spain, who cured all
bowel troubles by this simple remedy.
One little nervous Frenchman held
forth its virtues before a famous con-
vention of European physicians and
He was odd, quaint and very deter
mined. His brothers in medicine
laughed at his claims. Thereupon he
swallowed two grains of strychnine,
enough to kill three men, and ate some
charcoal The doctors thought him
mad, but he did not even have to go
of the strychnine and Secheyron was
famous. Ever since that day physi-
clans have used It. Run impure water
through charcoal and you have a pure
delicious drink.
Bad breath, gastritis. bowel gases
torpid liver, impure blood, etc, give
way before the action of charcoal
It is really. a wonderful adjunct to
nature and is q most inexhaustible
storehouse of health to the man or
woman who suffers from gases or i'm
purities Of any kind.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made
of pure willow charcoal. sweetened to
a palatable state with honey.
Two or three of them cure an ordi-
nary case of bad breath. They should
be used after. every meal, especially If
ones breath is prone to be impure.
These little lozenEes have nothing to
do with medicine They are just sweet

the product of the bee. Thus every In
gredient comes to man from the lap

The only secret lies in the Stuart
process of compressing these simple
substances into a hard tablet or loz-
enge so that age, evaporation or decay
may not assail their curative qualities.
You may take as many of them as
you wish and the more you take the
quicker will you remove the effects of

CANCER IS A COMMON
DISEASE Of FISH

Buffalo, May 23-The discovery that
cancer is a very common disease with
many kinds of fish, and especially
brook trout, has been made.
DR.. Harvey r. Gaylord, head of the
Buffalo State Cancer Laboratory, an
nounced today that scientists connected
with that institution are now conduct
ing a new line of experimentation to
discover whether or not cancer is COM
municated to human beings by the fish
they eat or whether the water of
streams is infected by the cancer germ
from the fish.
This new discovery on which the
cancer experts are working may give
clew to the manner in which cancer
is communicated TO the human sys-
tenn. Heretofore cancer research had
been conducted chiefly along the lines
of hunt for a cure. The disease was
found to be most prevalent in mice
and rats, and most of the experiments
have been performed with these ami
mails as suspects.
While it is an established fact that
cancer is a common disease among
fish, there is no certainty that this is
the source of infection of human be-
ings. DR.. Gaylord said today:
There is no certainty that cancer
comes from fish. We are conducting
a vigorous line of experiments, how
ever, to find out if it does. These ex-
periments have not gone far enough
yet to warrant giving any opinion on
the matter. The discovery that cancer
exists among fish was made by a
French scientist A study of fish has
shown that the disease is quite COM
mon among this species of animal life.
1t is found that the gills of fish are
the parts affected. The disease is
found in many varieties of fresh wa
ter fish, and many sea fish have also
been found which are so disea sed -
While DR.. Gaylord was quite guard
ed in his statements as to the effect
of this discovery and the result of the
experiments which are now being car
ried on. it is known that officials of
the State Forest, Fish and Game Com
| mission are much interested. Infect
ed fish are now furnished to the cancer

hatcheries for these experiments.
The fish experiments are being con-
Quoted along two lines-first, TO see
whether the fish infect the water in
which they live, and second, whether
the cancer germs are entirely destroy
ed by the heat of cooking.
DR.. Gaylord said yesterday that this
new line of experiment had been
greatly handicapped by the refusal of
the Legislature to increase the annual
appropriation for the laboratory. This
increased appropriation was asked to
enlarge the facilities for these expert
ments on fish.
