Newton Booth. After Entering United

obscurity Because He Knew

Hiram Johnson. who was elected
governor of California last November
has gained national prominence as
man who successfully fought the so
called railroad monopoly Of the state.
The first governor Of the state to win
a like minority was Newton Booth. who
led the people in their fight against the
railroads in the early seventies. Serv-
ing two years, from 1871. as governor.
he resigned and was sent to the United
States senate by the legislature, and
there as great things were expected
of him as had been done by him as
candidate for governor and as govern
or. But from the day he entered the
senate In 1875 until the day he left 1t
in March, 1881, he did not do a thing
worthy Of note, to the mingled won
der and disappointment of his friends
and his state.
What was the reason OF this COM

more data on that deadly affection.
A few suspected cases were being
held in the detention quarters OF the
immigration bureau. and he was
anxious to see them. So little Is
known Of the disease that every case
offers new opportunities for labora-
tory study. This doctor examined the
suspects, went back to his laboratory.
and few days later was stricken by
the very malady that he had been
fighting for years. The disease that
be had been lighting so long had
turned upon him. He was dead with
in forty-eight hours after he was at
tackled. All the knowledge that he
and his colleagues had gained In the
last half dozen years proved useless
and helpless in stopping the coming Of
death.
Simon Flexner, the worlds great

gifts and kindred diseases, was sum-

power. serums that have proven ef-
fective In thousands and thousands
Of cases gave no relief from the
steady advance Of death. There was
no response to its powers in the
nerves and muscles of the man who
was at last lying In the grip of his
enemy. Many New York specialists
watched by his bedside and fought the
destroyer with all the weapons at
their command. At the last the
malady had claimed It's vengeance
The work Of the dying man and his
co-laborers had saved thousands. but
in the end he was unable to save
himself.
A sort Of a superstition has grown
up among physicians. The feeling is
common among them that the man
who specializes on any particular dis
ease Is liable to become it's victim
some time or another in life. His own
particular specially is looked upon as
being especially fatal to him If he is
ever stricken.
Some years ago there was a spe-
cialist on mental diseases in st. Louis
who was recognized as one of the
nations authorities on insanity. He
was lecturer of more than local
note on his favorite subject and bis
text books are still found In the
libraries Of the older physicians. Some
time ago he dropped out of sight.
His friends speak Of hir. now as one

EASY TO MAKE cANDIED PEEL
Delicious CONNECTION Prepared at
Home Far Better Than Can
Be Bought.

Orange skins (generally considered
useless) can be used In two ways that
VIII give much pleasure. Any girl
who wants to have something little
out of the common for a luncheon
party, or who wants to make very
small gift. but one that shows some
real work of her own, can accomplish
either object by making candied
orange peel. Not by buying Il at the
confectioner's. where plenty Of II Is
sold, but by doing it herself. The
candied orange peel made at home
and used while fresh is so far su-
perior to that one can buy that 1t
seems like quite another thing.
It can be made Of the skin Of an
orange that has been peeled and used
In any way, but rather a smooth skin
should be chosen, and it must be used
before 1t becomes at all hard and dry.
The first thing to do Is to scrape OF
with a knife as much as possible Of
the white inner skin. Keep on scrap
ing until the skin is quite thin and
the back shows the yellow. Then cut
the pieces of skin into strips one quar-
ter Of an inch wide and from one and
half to two inches long.
Now comes the cooking. which Is
done in the following manner: In a
small saucepan full of water dissolve
three tablespoonfuls of sugar and put
in your strips of peel. Boil them I'M
till the water boils away. leaving a
thick syrup. During the latter part of
this process it must be carefully
watched and stirred to prevent burn
ing. Next take the peel from the
saucepan and roll it in powdered
sugar; then put the pieces on plates to
dry, not piled up, but In single layers.
The orange peel is best on the first or
second day after 1t is made. and 1t
must be used within week or it win
grow too hard. A dainty box filled
with this orange peel makes very
attractive gift, or. If one is sending
some really handsome box "a silver
one OF an enamel or carved one), an
added pleasure will be given by FILL
ing it with candied orange peel made
by the giver.

It certain that there win never be an

Reed was sent to Cuba In 1900 to

in all diseases sank steadily under
the improved sanitation. Yellow fever

fever was carried from victim to

and Reed came back to the states in

their march upon the Saracen is
found In the breast of the modern In
yestigator Of batting and obscure
diseases. The big battles of the race
are now being fought out IN the
laboratories and in the worlds operat-
ing rooms.
Every year adds a new martyr to
the long list of medical meu who have
died in their search for the mysteries
that lie back of the most battling
diseases. Many of these martyrs live
crippled for the rest Of their days by
some affection. some combination Of
chemicals or by the aftermath of
some malady that has finally turned

strong men live on uselessly and with
out hope. drawn and twisted by the
effects Of the X-ray. They were able
to cure others with these weird rays,
but they gave up their own vitality to
do so.
Last July DR.. Kassabian of New
York died of skin cancer brought on
by the X-ray. He had been burned
time after time by their mysterious
radiance. He had been dying for
years. In the years that he was slow
ly wasting away under the inroads OF
the malady he was giving relief to
thousands. He saw that he was
doomed ten years before his death.
In common with practically every x
ray man In the world he had been
suffering at various times from burns
caused by this mysterious energy that
is given on by the Roentgen ray. He
always maintained the greatest Sc
crecy concerning his own condition.
In 1902 he came to the conclusion
that he was doomed to die sooner
or later from the effects of his burns.
In 1908 two of his fingers we're am
putated. Skin cancer had begun to
appear upon his left hand and later
It began to move slowly up his arm.
Last year 1t was found that the ray
induced cancer had reached the glands
under his left arm. DIR. Chalmers da
Costa of the Jefferson Medical college
was called to New York to perform
an operation. The ray irritated flesh
would not heal after the glands were
removed. Kassabian, who had fought
with cancer so long. was slowly sink
ing and still another operation was
decided upon. The glands on the
right side of the chest we're removed.
1t was useless. In the meanwhile the
whole Of his left side had become af-
fected and there was nothing that
could be done.
Thomas A. Edison lost valuable
assistant because of similar burns
some years ago. Still another death

about by these powerful rays, was that
