Opportunity For Our Young Ladle'

Opportunity For Our Young Ladies
to Tour Europe Free.
Attention of newspapers throughout
the west is today fixed on the Kansas
City Journal, which has announced its
intention of sending thirteen ladies on
tour of Europe. A responsible mar
ried couple, chosen by The Journal, is
to accompany the tourists and attend
to their welfare. The offer is so un-
usual and magnificent that inquiry Of
The Journal has brought the good
news here that any young lady in our
vicinity may become one of tie win
ners under the plan of securing votes.
In addition to the Tours of Europe
there are forty-one other prizes, dia-
mond rings and purses of gold. The to.
tai amount expended by the big Kan
sas City paper aggregates $4,000 for
the purpose of purchasing prizes that
will be given away Absolutely Free
to the young ladies' of the three states
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma.
The offer is one to arouse such local
pride that we are going to suggest
that our city is entitled to share in
the distribution of the Journals great
prize list, and the names of some of
our prominent young ladies should be
sent in. The victories for them would
be credit to our community, and
then, too, the advantage of touring Eu.
rope or winning any Of the other
prizes is one in which every young
lady in this section will be heartily in
terested. Send in your own or some
other lady's name, to The Journal and
full information will be sent you.

CAN CARROTS CURE cANcERg

Mr.. S. Milletts Thompson, writing
from Boston, Mass. to the New York
Tribune. tells of wonderful cure
4 of cancer By the use of carrots The
/ case, according TO the writer's
/ statement, was we'll defined one,
and the treatment proven to be so en-
tirely successful in eradicating the dis
ease, that no one at the time OF its
use questioned the authenticity of the
remedy effecting the cure Mr.
Thompson says:
About the year 1850 William F.
Thompson, later farmer in South
Lee. N. H, was attacked by a very
large cancer, covering the most of
one side OF his lower lip and chin.
The spread of the disease was rapid
and seriously effected the glands IN its
vicinity.
The central parts of the cancer
We're both cut out and burned out dur
ing the harsh treatment of that dis
ease in those DAYS There was no helm
for it, and the patient gave himself
up as incurable. but not Until expend-
ing nearly all that he was worth upon
one style of treatment or another At
this juncture he was visited by a
'doctress.' who with great confidence
suggested "a remedy never known to
fail TO cure cancer. And she would
accept no fee whatever. Perhaps this
gave him some confidence and he
agreed to try the remedy.
The remedy was simply that he
should subsist on carrots-ordinary
garden carrots exclusively for the
period of thirty days.
About the tenth day all acute
pain ceased; a few days later the sub
stance of the cancerous parts began to
dry and fall away and natural heal
ing process resulted. He was now as
sured that a complete recovery would
be the final result By the thirtieth
day nearly every trace of the cancer
had disappeared. but he held to the
diet for one day more, and was entire
IT, cured and had no further trouble
with cancer"
1t is possible. of course. that carrots
may contain a specific for cancer, but
the idea is more interesting than prob
able. Something more than an iso-
lated case bearing date of sixty years
ago is needed in substantiation of the
claim.

The business boom which now
seems fairly under way in most of the
United States is having an encourag-
ing effect on postal receipts. Where
there was deficit last year of more
than s17oOO,0o0, it is now predicted
that the shortage for this year may
not exceed one-third that amount At
the same time, too much Importance
should not be placed on postoffice
deficits so long as these are of moder-
ate proportions. The main thing is
to serve the public convenience
