in a settled community for the reason

The great alarm shown over the

RADlUM THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
A French Physicians Experiment
Leads to Belief That its Use May
Arrest Physical Decay.

Paris, France.-The rejuvenating
quantities of radium have been dis
covered by Prof. Gabriel Petit of the
veterinary school at Abort. He in
jected two milligrams twice in the
jugular vein of an old horse with sur
prising effect The animal seemed
Immediately to gain a new lease of
life. 1t put on flesh and became
frisky. Considerable traces of sui
phate of radium appeared in the
blood. The red globules increased in
number.
The injections, Dr. Petit says, pro-
duced a lasting radio-activity of the
system. He thinks it highly probable
that a radioactive serum may be OBJ
tanned in this manner, which will ar
rest to certain extent the advances
of physical decay in human beings.
In other words, radium may be made

Mulata, MeXico.-A battle which
lasted five hours was fought near

bodies were left on the field. Others
were carried away.
Frequently while the battle pre-

indianapolis, lndiana.-The Indiana

OKLAHOMA CITY GETS DECISION
State Supreme Court Declares That
City the Permanent Capital
Guthrie Will Appeal.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.-By a
majority opinion of the state supreme
court Oklahoma City was declared to
be the permanent state capital of Ok
lhoma. Guthrie will appeal to the
United States supreme court. The
majority opinion was written by
Justice R. L. Williams and concurred
in by Chief Justice Turner and Justice
Hayes. Justice Kane dissented, hold
ing that the compact between the peo-
pie of Oklahoma and the federal gov
eminent in locating the capital at
Guthrie until 1918 was the act Of two
sovereign powers and could only be
set aside by the two powers that
made the compact. Justice Dunn in
another dissenting opinion declared
that if the 1913 clause was not an
an irrevocable law and could not be
sustained upon that ground, never
theless it had been made a funda-
mental law of the state by the consti-
tutional convention elected by the
people for that purpose and that it
could be repealed only by vote of
the people or by constitutional con-
vention.
