PROCLAIM CURE FOR CANCER
Manila Medical Society Believes u
Has Found Remedy for Dread
Disease.

The Manila Medical society has
made a preliminary report of recent
experiments which seem to show that
possibly q successful cure for can
Ger has been discovered.
The treatment consists of the use
OF vaccine made from bacilli taken
from patients suffering from the dis
ease. 1t has been used in cancer
cases after surgical operations and
has also been apparently successfully
used in cases where operations were
impossible.
A number of patients who have
been treated by this method have
been exhibited by the society to show
the good results obtained. The dis
coverers Of the vaccine are not pre-
pared to make a positive statement
that the vaccine effects a cure at
present. They are watching the
cases which have been treated for a
possible recurrence of the disease be-
fore finally accepting the vaccine as
sure cure.

AS We Are Seen By Others

Editor Lapham Since the advent OF
local option in your city, throughout
the surrounding country tributary to
Bedding, there has developed nearly
unanimous sentiment of appreciation
of betterment in conditions upon your
public streets. On corners where under
saloon existence, there was nearly al
ways crowd of loafing, loud mouthed,
vulgar patrons of alcohol vendors. To-
day child or woman can pass with
out being shocked by indecent language
and impudent familiarties from half
intoxicated brutes.
True the same loafers and rowdies
are met here and there, but even their
improved personal appearance is
complement TO Temperance enforcement
1t comes as shock TO this whole
community, that there has finally de-
veloped evidence of the presence in Beld-
ing of those so lost in every sense OF
common decency, that they not only
seek to enrich themselves by debauch-
ing others, but that they openly and
willfully offer ruination to mere boys,
i'm known violation of moral and civil
obligations.
am abundently assured that voice
the complete sentiment of $50 of your
surrounding country, by recommend
ing that if any such .iolation be fairly
convicted, they be once for all given
such a sentince as will be a standing
warning to all others contemplating
violation. The full penalty of the law
even though il be first offence is none
too much.
During the present winter the state
of the potato market, has taken us often
TO Greenville, and the contrast of street
and other public appearances between
the two cities, is decidedly in favor of
Belding. And we are not the only ones
satisfied to draw our potatoes to Green

WRONG THEORY G. &c ll1AY
Writer In New York Times Wakes
Sarcastic on a Most Inter
estins Topic.

The introduction of frequent ref
erences to economy in the remarks OF
our leading statesmen is a distress
ing symptom.
In matters of state, as with indi-
viduals, theories of economy are SUI
perinduced by a strained pecuniary
condition. Since, therefore, in this
day and age to be hard-up is the
worst possible visitation of disgrace,
wise individuals, at such time,
take pains to increase their display.
So it should be with nations. If
there is a deficit in the treasury, we
should not let anyone know it for
the world. In order properly to con-
ceal it, we should call double extra
special session of congress and APP
propriate for a gross of battleships
and otherwise give indisputable EVIL
dence that we are on Easy street.
Let's have no more of this silly
talk about economy. If we put up
the proper front, the rear will take
care of itself.-New York Times.

A Belding SWANS sweetheart was in
the bunch. He longed to gaze earnestly
into her eyes and feed on sweet words
from her ruby lips, with no barrier be-
tween, but alas, her place of detention
was on the third floor, with one small
window overlooking the roofs of blocks
below. A convenient fire escape how
ever, landed near the place, different
proposition from the Romeo and Juliet
affair of long ago. 1t was a tortuous
route but Glenn made it Saturday by
the light of the pale moon, just as the
hour was on the stroke of twelve.
Sweetheart heard the footsteps on the
roof; she quickly raised the window
and he faced her, smallpox germs and

communes In Canada Where Asricult
ure and the Priesthood Go
Hand In Hand.

Scattered throughout Canada are
many curious religious communes, es-
pecially In the province of Quebec;
but there Is none more curious or In
terestins than the settlements OF the
rrappist Monks.
This brotherhood has three settle
ments In the dominion-in Novia SEQ
tia at Tracadie. in the wilds of North
ern Quebec near the Lake st. John dis
trict, and on the banks OF the Otta-
wa river, not far from Montreal. One
Of the most interesting Of the monas
teries is that near the village OF Okla.
on the Ottawa river.
The Trappist is a farmer as well as
a priest, and the Okla farm Of 500
acres is one OF the best titled In that
part of Canada. All kinds Of grain are
grown, an excellent vegetable garden
Is maintained, and a large orchard and
vineyard add picturesqueness to the
rural scene. But the Trappist Is q
stock grower as well as an agricult-
urist. There are few finer thorough
bred stocks than the Percheron stall
lions and huge bulls kept there. The
order owns at Okla several hundred
cows, 800 sheep and 35 horses.
Adjoining the barn Is the dairy,
where a fancy cheese Is produced that
has a high reputation in the Montreal
market, as have the claret and wines
produced from the vineyards.-Busy

TYPICAL TRUST

In the case OF the Window II lass
Trust you have an opportunity tc
study with absolute clearness Of
observation the birth, the life, tn.
methods, the profits and the dealt
probably only a temporary deal
of typical American trust.
This article is based upon tn,
statements of Wickersham, Attor
ney General of the United States
And his statements were provcC
in court by sworn testimony, re.
sulting in the tining of the trust
officials and the dissolution of the
trust.
Before the Window Glass Trust
was born many different concerns
were making window glass. Some
manufactured the glass by hand,
others manufactured by machin-
cry. There was competition, there
was cutting of prices which were
then much lower. There was also
cutting of wages where it could be
done.
The Window Glass Trust was
organized as follows:
Certain manufacturers formed
what they called THE Imperial
Window Glass Company" This
company was o'ganized less than
two years ago. But it didn't take
it long to become mighty pros
porous trust.
The company did not manufact-
ure any glass. 1t was simply a
trust selling agency.
About fifty manufacturers of
window glass in ten different
states joined together in this In
perial Company and conspiracy.
When they had got 81 per cent of
the entire hand blown window
glass" manufacturers of the United
States in the company they began
business.
The agreement which consti-
tuted the trust, made the profits
certain, and put the public at the
mercy of those that fixed the
prices, was this:
All of the manufacturers must
give all Of their glass to that one
selling agency, or trust, and were
to sell to nobody else.
Real operations began only
about year ago. BY the first of
October last prices had been adj
vanced 10 per cent above what
they were before the trust was
formed.
The trust took in certain factor
les and kept them running. 1t al
so leased at high rentals fifteen
factories, TO keep them idle, in
order that they might not compete.
These factories, shut up, doing
nothing, employing nobody, cost
Sl3s,OOO year for leases aud
watchmen, and, Of course. this came
out of the people that paid n higher
price for window glass.
Was this trust profitable? 1t
was, for Wickersham shows that
the trust paid a profit of four
hundred per cent on Its capital
stock in the first year.
This happy protit.making did
not last as well rs the organizers Of
this particular trust hoped. They
were less fortunate than the or
