OBESITY NOW CURED
BY USE OF KNIFE

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1S.-Dr. W.
Wayne Babcock at the Samaritan hos
pital here demonstrated the most up-
to-date method Of making a stout per.
son slim and sylphlike. and allowing
all women to glory in the straight
est of straight fronts should they
dechee that such shall be the style.
The technical name OF the operation
performed by Or. Babcock for the edi.
fication Of the surgeons attending the
clinic is ''resection Of abdominal wall
for obesity"
The patient was a woman. Twelve
pounds of fat had been removed
The operation itself seemed to be
simple DR.. Babcock said that with
a skilled surgeon such an operation
was not dangerous to the patient.
Great care had to be exercised so that
no muscles We're severed.

LIVES IN OLD HOUSE
SEEKS CANCER CURE
Backed by Sprague Fund,
Woman Experiments, Sur
rounded by Rodents.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-A lone woman,
living in shabby two-story brick
house, with the northwest wind driv-
ing quantities of snow in through
broad cracks, and having for company
small menagerie of rats. white mice,
dogs and guinea pigs, is at work in
Chicago. eighteen hours a day. sew
en- days in the week. 'in the interests
of science"
The woman is Maud Slye, a former
instructor in the medical department
OF the University OF Chicago. The goal
for which she is striving is a cure for
cancer. Her house Of experimental
ton is at 1897 Drexel avenue.
The experiments are being conduct
ed under the direction of the Insti-
tute for Medical Research founded
by the late Ohio S. A. Sprague. Miss
Slye has been engaged in her present
line of experimentation since early
last spring. Strict secrecy is being
observed as to the nature of the ex-
periments. A maid, who is present
at the laboratory during the day, is
the scientists only attendant.
The lower floor of the building is
arranged for the accommodation Of
the animals which serve as subjects
for the experiments. Cages for rats
and mice line the walls. In the cen
ter of the room little area is fenced
off for the dogs. The second floor
contains sleeping quarters for the
scientist and the chemical laboratory
When, after repeated attempts, re-
porter was finally admitted, Miss Slye
gave only the most meager outline of
her work.
AT present the public can be in
! terested only to know that my every
energy, night and day. she said, is
| being expended in prosecuting a line
of experimentation which it is hoped
| will result in a cure for cancer.
1T would be unscientific to boast of
| any success which l may have had so
| far, or to express my hopes for the
| ultimate success of my experiments.
Il have made known no details con.
nor will do so until something def.
mite is accomplished"
The scientist admitted that the
methods which she was using had
never before been tried She said
they were partly original and partly a
crystalization of the thought of the
American medical profession on the
question of a cure for cancer.
I'VE may have that knowledge
which the world in general and the
medical profession in particular is
awaiting within a few omnths. How.
ever, nothing will be announced 4p
til we have found certain cure" she
said.
The collection of animals which
keep here is for use in testing out
the results of my experiments. II
will not be necessary to try out the
cure, when found, in a clinic. l can
arrive at positive conclusions here
by the use of the animals"

The amount which she said Strouss

Then he demanded more, and when
Il refused, he filed his suit for $25, 900
for alienation OF affections against Mr..

disgrace that would be brought upon
Gme and my family, and decided to
kill myself. I wrote, though. to Mr..

kwould let me get a divorce without a

"Willingly would have paid that

my heart, I believe it Ia the old story
kof other women. at least in the chap

Thus it can be seen from Mrs Pat
Eterson's story that her line Of defense
Eprobably will be in the nature of an
"unwritten law" plea. Another argu
.ment that Is expected to be advanced
lis that of temporary insanity.

A Showing Which Cannot
Be Equaled by Amy Other
Company

Over 30 per cent of the insurance
sold by this company during 1910 was
purchased by men who were already
policy holders in the company.
The Wisconsin Insurance Report for
1910. page Al, shows that during the
previous year the thirteen companies
reporting, other than the Northwestern,
made a net gain in insurance in force
in the state of $6,293,5l4. while the
Northwestern alone gained there
$3,411,SS3. AND THIS is THE
NORTHWESTERN IS HOME STATE,
Now. take New York state, the home
Of thirteen companies. The New YORK
report pages "A and 45, shows that
these thirteen New York companies
gained in insurance IN force in their
home state in 1909 only $1s,967 ,929,
while the Northwestern gained in New
York during the same year $l4 ,33l ,l6l.
In total business in force in all states,
the thirteen New York companies
gained $100,160,153, and the North,
