ENORMOUS PROFITS OF THE
EXPRESS COMPANIES

EXPRESS COMPANIES
These figures suggest the pro-
fits express companies have been
making. They have been max
ing them because our govern
ment is the only government
which permits such a monopoly.
1t is monopoly which not only
EFFORTS millions upon millions
every year from the people, but
which enables railroad compan.
les, through their intimate bust
ness and financial relations with
the express companies, to con-
ceal a very considerable part of
h i I earnings. T he express
companies are large holders of
one another's stock, and also of
railway stock; in turn, the men
who control the great railway
combinations are themselves big
o w ners OF express-cOmpanv
stocks and bonds. The express
companies lease from the rail
roads til right o transport
freight over the railway lines.
The terms of these leases repre-
sent, not a reasonable and fair
charge for the service, but an
elaborate project of covering up
excessive earnings and extor-
itipnate charges in a maze OF
complicated incorporation

CURES FOR GouT AND RHEuMA. TisM BY TREATMENT ARE RE
 GARDED AS MARVELLOUS.
Here the Radium Properties of the Hot Waters Have Been Doing the Same Thing for Many
 Years.

i submitting rapidly to the processes. Especially is this interesting here, i where the experts have pronounced | the hot waters here as containing a | larger percentage of radium than any other waters that flow, and where II I Is freely confessed the radlum intlu- ences are continually working out the l cures in the gout and rheumatism cas- es
 The Paris eablegram says:
 Paris. Dec. Paris. which through M and Mme Curie. say the discovery of radum, has just seen the open lrS of it's first radium institute in the Rue Penthien. Every since the dis coyery or radium experiments have been made by leadng members of tte medical profession to discover any possible remedial properties of the new substance. Some of these have been 8 failure, others a success; and It seems now fairly well proved that radum has certain effect in rhen- matism, gout and all arthritic affec- tions.
 Doctors Gndzent, Jacobs, Kraus Bergell, Bickel. Lowenthal, Madame Lasga and other radmm enthusiasts have made a number of tests, which seem conclusive. The application ot radium. chiefly by drinking and in- ilalatious, has now become quite an established rsage in most of the Ger man cure stations. Dr. Frumesan, the head of the Paris institute. who has visited must of them, has like wise become firmly convinced of the efficaciousness of the radium cure through limitations. and has gene to considerable expense 10 set up an installation ir Paris.
 The installation which he showed me is quite interesting. The most ef fectiYe way Of applying the cure is by means of inhalations of radium eman- ations. For this purpose comfort able room has been specially prepar- ed The doors and windows have been thoroughly padded and made al most dramatically tight. Acaommoda ticn Is provided for eight or ten pa. tients. who may take the cure sim ultaneiusly.
 The radium emanation is provided by a "yolilnhaIatorium'' as device which Is already popular anda widely used in Germany. The "volliuhala- torium" is a sort of upright tube standing a yard or more hign, at tho bottom of which the radum is pac ed. Special currents of air are fore ed up through the tube end convey the 9manations of radium through the room with the air, which is itself constantly renewed with a special supply of oxygen. The famous springs of Bath in England and the ,1umer ous springs on the Continent credited with being specific against fheumat ism, gout, etc. derive, it is believed by the new radium advocates, most of their effieaciousness from the in- finitesmal quantities of radium or emanations of radium which they pos sess.

TEACHING POLICEMEN TO THINK.

New York's coppers are undergo
ing a system of education. Not only
are they being taught to wear white
collars without affording a realistic
impersonation of a fat man choking
to death, but they are required to
keep their uniforms clean and neat
ly pressed, their gloves unsoiled and
their shoes spotless. And more than
that, Commissioner Waldo is irving
to break through the mental crust
grown by years of carelessness and
sloth and get from them something
more than a purely physical perform
ace Of duty.
"We're trying to teach them to
think" said a high police official.
".And when a man has mover thought

AUSTRALIA IN DILEMMA.

Australia has always consoled her
self for her rainless spells by the be-
lief that beneath the continent lies a
sea of frosh water which only needs
to be tapped when it is wanted. Now
comes Professor Gregory, a'noted ge-
ologist, who has been measuring the
wells and declares that there is no
evidence that they are being replen-
ished and that the supply in each
case is diminishing. He suggests
that it is time to economic the wa
ter, but Australia does not like the
suggestion and refuses to believe
him, for if he is right the schemes
for reclaiming the great deserts of
the interior must come to nothing.
