In a recent address before ths
Maine Medical Association a Phila
3elphia physician testified to the ad-
yantages OF cocoanut charcoal as an
absorben. OF radium carnations and
therefore as a means OF using these
carnations for therapeutic purposes.
Air from a compressed air tank is
passed through a wash bottle. tnen
through a tube containing radium In
solution, whence 1t escapes into a
tube filled with cocoanut charcoal.
carrying the radiun carnations with
1t.
The charcoal remains strongly
radioactive for two weeks. Saober
claims that cocoanut charcoal can
be raised to 200 or 800 times the
radioactivity OF the most radioactive
water. It can be prepared at small
expense and the same radium can be
used over and over again. It can BE-
administered Internally or tube
can be applied locally--Medieai

A Living Death the Lot Of the in'
mates of the SchluesseIburg.


In the middle of the River Seya,
/ where it flows out of Lake Ladoga
/ there lies tiny island, surrounded
on three sides by the turbulent waters
of the river and hemmed in upon the
1 fourth by the cold and stormy lake
Upon this island stands very ancient
fortress enclosed by high walls more
than twenty feet in thickness. This
is the fortress of SchIuesselburg.
Day and night sentinels relieved
every two hours pass around the top
of these walls. keeping vigilant out
look on every hand. No one from
within the fortress, not even the sol
diers or gendarmes, is allowed to
communicate with the people who
dwell upon the banks OF the river.
II the unwary fisherman chances to
drift in his boat too near the walls OF
the fortress, says McCIure's, he is
greeted by the shout of sentinel,
aiming his rife:
"Away! Or shoot!"
Not even the Dead Sea in the des-
erts of Asia Is SO utterly isolated and
cut of from the living world as is
this fortress of SchIuesselburg, which
lies within forty miles of ST. Peters
burg.
They are very ancient, the high
walls Of the fortress. In many places
they are cracked from old age, and in
the cracks little trees have taken root.
They look suIIen and ominously
silent, as If they hid dark and grue-
some secrets. And in truth In the
whole world there are no other walls
that have witnessed so many trag-
edies as those of the fortress Of
Schluesselburg.
The regime and the aspect of the
prison were carefully thought out and
planned, being, as the Ministers visit
ing the Schluesselburg repeatedly de-
clared to the prisoners, intended to
demonstrate to them that it was des-
tined to be their grave. The cells
were constructed in such a manner
as constantly to remind the prisoners
of tomb. The stone floors were
painted black and the walls dark
cray.
The window panes were Opaque, SO
that no ray of sun ever penetrated
within the cells, and no trace of color
from without could be caught by the
prisoners. The iron bedstead was
turned up by day and chained against
the wall, and only little stool, also
fastened in its place, allowed the
prisoners an occasional rest from the
incessant stride backward and for
ward across the floor of the cell.
This pacing back and forth was in
fact the only diversion permitted to
the prisoners. No books were given
to them except the Bible, which they
had already learned froE- cover to
cover in the fortress of Saints Peter
and Paul, no work for their hands,
NO color for their eyes, no sound for
their ears.
Cut off from the living world, bur-
led in the black stone cells, clothed
in the dingy prison garb, with one
sleeve black, the other yellow, they
strobe to and fro from corner to cor
ner of their cages. Their food was
abofninable; bread, half raw, made of
rotten flour, and a.plate of hot water
in which foateds few shreds OF meat

Even ]. J. Hill, who fears that our
agriculture is falling, submits the
Philadelphia Ledger, may take com.
fort In the computation that the num-
Der OF farms in the United States has
increased Is per cent. In the last ten
years, nearly a million new farms be-
ing created In that period. Notwith-
standing the tendency to the ANAL.
gamation of small farms into larger
holdings, there are said to be three
times as many farms now as there
were in 1870, while their values are
at least two and half times az
great. The aggregate valuation of
farms, buildings and stock Is estimat-
ed as something like thirty billions Of
dollars, a gain Of "A per cent. in ten
Years. These figures, which are COM
piled by the American Agricultural,
are In general accord with those of
the Department of Agriculture. They
are especially interesting in the promi-
hence they give to the increase OF

Tiny Baby's PitifuI Case.

As~SS - - AssAAAA o%AS~s
"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot. all over her body
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We we're unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel OF, leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw with
out skin from head to foot. On top
OF her head there appeared a heavy
scab quarter Of an inch thick. It
was awful To see 30 small a baby look
az she did. Imagine! The doctor
was afraid to put his hands to the
child. We tried several doctors' rem
edies but all failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and 1t came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops OF the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
OFF and heal underneath. Now the
baby Is four months old. She is fine
picture Of fat little baby and all Is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap. two boxes of Cuticura

PASTOR FOR insult
Mrs. w. S. Parvis of Chico
Swears That Rev. q. L. Lob
dell Favored Polygamy
Especial Dispatch to The Call

CHICO, May 25.-Chico is in the
throes of a church sensation which
threatens to become state wide. Mrs.
W. S. Purvis, prominent socially and
an enthusiastic worker In the First
Christian church, and Rev. G. l. Lob
dell. pastor of the First Christia n
church and an evangelist of state wide
acquaintance, are the principal figures
in the story, which is being whispered
tonight on the lips of hundreds of resi-
dents of Chico
Mrs. Purvis has made an affidavit be-
fore a notary in which she accused
Rev. Mr.. Lobdell of insulting her. of
kissing her and of attempting to force
upon her strange Interpretation of
the scriptures. She alleged that he
told her that he believed in polygamy
and that it would not be sinful for him
to attempt dual life with her.
Mrs. Purvis' statement was sensa-
tional in the extreme. 1t charged that
when she refused to listen to Lobdells
teachings and denounced him he pre-
ferred charges against her before the
church board.
These charges, which were not emu
nerated, she said were false in the ex-
treme and were made to hide the
charges which he feared she would
make against him. She swore that a
certain member of the church board.
whose name was not given, Dragged
that she could not prove anything she
said and that newspapers would not
publish it.
the church board were the pastors
dupes.
Mrs Purvis took steps to give her
side Of the case and following the sign
ing of the af1davit today she sent
copies of II to Sacramento and San
Francisco newspapers
