A Possible Cure For Cancer.

Two German physicians, Drs. Ehr-
Itch and Won Wasserman, report that
they have found a specific for mouse
cancer and that, so far as their expert
ments have gone, the chief elements
Of their specific have a like affinity for
the "most active elements" Of human
cancer. They do not yet claim to have
made sufficient tests to determine
whether or not they have an absolute
specific for human cancer, but only to
be on a most promising trail.
The discovery was made quite by
accident. In seeking to determine
whether canoe lives longer in dis
eased patients than in normal blood
serum they employed sodium telluride
and sodium selenide to indicate the
presence Of the cancer cells. Much to
their surprise, they found that these
chemicals showed a selectiye affinity
for the most active elements Of the
cancer cells, as before stated. This
selectlye chemical affinity furnishes
the basis for q specific.
Plainly the two physicians were on
the basis Of an important discovery.
They began experimenting with mice
and by combining the chemicals with
certain dyestuffs evolved a perfect
specific for mouse ANGER. The adapta-
ton Of the remedy to human cancer
would seem to be simply a matter of
further variation in the combination,
for it was in connection with human
cancer that the specific properties of
the two chemicals first appeared.
Cancer has baf1ed physicians for
ages. 1t will be a happy day not only
for the medical fraternity, but for the
human race, if a cure has at last been
| found,

America to Lead All NationA

According to a bulletin just issued
BY the department Of commerce and
labor, the United States is destined to
be the greatest nation in the world.
During the last two decades the
growth Of it's commercial and indus
trial activities has been %unequuied. the
annual value Of the products Of its
mills being over $40, 100000 as
compared with less than $1O,OOO.OOO.-
600 twenty years ago.
In the twelve months ended June
30, 1911. the total value Of its exports
was $2.O13. SOC. 1000, of which amount
only a little over $60O,OOO.OoO was cred
tied to manufactures ready for con
sumption and $3O0,OOO.OOO to manu-
features for further use in manufac-
turing, the remainder being for food
stuffs and crude materials. From this
it will be seer that the bulk of the ex-
port trade Is not acquired on account
Of any extensive selling effort on the
part Of the United States, but is due to
the fact that foreign buyers purchase
those things which they must have
and cannot buy elsewhere. such as
cotton, corn. wheat. etc.
In the past American manufacturers
have been busy supplying the home
market. 1t vas only when a surplus
existed that the foreign markets were
entered. Conditions. however. have
changed. The urban population is in
creasing more rapidly than the rural,
and the production of manufactured
articles has surpassed that Of agricul-
tural products. The home consump-
ton Of agricultural products is greater
than ever before, and the surplus of
manufactured goods is also greater
and is increasing at a tremendous rate.
Germany ranks as the best equipped
nation of the world today with regard
to organization in connection with
trade development. She makes use of
every national force to aid and foster
her foreign commerce. In some for
eign countries Americas greatest trade
rival as a nation will spend $50, 900 m
nually on a consulate where this coun-
try spends $4,000 or less.
At the present time ten of the COM
mercial agents Of our bureau of man
ufactures are abroad gathering data
relative to machinery ard machine
tools, cotton textiles, chemical prod
ucts, electrical machinery and sup
plies, leather and boots and shoes and
ports are published from time to time.

Ambassadors and GIL, Braid.

Since the foundation Of the republic
cur ministers and ambassadors have
gone about in the dress of plain Amer
lean gentlemen. We were proud to
have them thus simply clothed. To
u own eyes they furnished q pleas
ing contrast to the uniformed and gild-
ed representatives of other nations.
The first break, so far as is now re-
called. was made by Ambassador
Choate, who wore knee breaches and
silk stockings to court functions in
England, in which departure he was
followed by Whitelaw Reid. Now
comes Ambassador Leishman, our new
representative at the court Of the
kaiser. who recently appeared at some
royal function clad in habiliments
decked with gilt braid and other gew-
gaws.
There has been some suggestion in
the press that Ambassador Leishman
was required to wear this sort of uni
form. Required by whom? We have
had a long line Of representatives at
the German court of whom no such re-
quirements were made.
The plain dress has become identi-
fed with American diplomats. To
abandon it now would be to admit
that u democratic simplicity has
been wrong. Let us stand by our guns.
Unfortunately there are q few rich
Americans who have been trying of
late to ape foreign a~ristocracy. To this
small and unrepresentative class too
many of our diplomats have belonged.
With them the undemocratic uniform
seems the logical next step.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1912-07-04
Making Over the Calendar.

Every now and then somebody
sorts of fantastic proposals are made.
Some are not so fantastic and yet are
impossible. Mathematics is not all
that is involved in such a change.
Birthdays. anniversaries, dates through
out history, holidays, the maturing Of
obligations, all would be disturbed.
Grant that our months are of uneven
lengths and do not coincide with the
moo periods which they are sup
posed to represent, yet we have many
other absurd things, such as u SPELL
ing, which it is impossible to change.
A proposal often made is that we
have thirteen months in the year, d.
vided into twenty-eight days each.
This would give us 1854 days and the
odd day, or two odd days in leap
years. would not count. It or they
would be holidays on which no bust
ness could be transacted. Thus each
month would contain exactly four
weeks. and the same day of the month
would fall on the same day Of the
week each year. Not only so. but one
month would be one moon. correspond
ing to a natural division Of time.
This sounds well. and vet nobody
takes it seriously. Some time ago a
Swiss gentleman sent a memorial to
all the leading nations on the subject.
but nobody paid any attention TO him.
More recently a citizen Of British Co.
lumbia has revived the plan with no
more success. 1t is a lot of trouble to
dovetail in another month and cut the
others to fit; besides, what is the use?
And what would we call the extra
month if we had it? Talk about nam
ing the new baby! That would not be
q marker to naming a new month!
Moreover, we should have to pay an
extra months rent, an extra months
telephone bill, an extra months ev-
erything. How would we divide thir-
teen months between four seasons?
Then comes another reformer. He
objects to the way our holidays are
distributed. AS it is, they are nearly
all in the winter when we don't want
to celebrate, and hardly any Of them
in the summer, when we do. Christ
mas and New Years, Lincoln's and
Washington's birthdays, st. Valen-
tines and st. Patrick's are practically
all in a bunch. Come to think Of the
thing, it was most inconsiderate of
Washington and Lincoln to be born in
February, so soon after the Christmas
holidays. To make it all right the in
novator would have Lincoln's birth
day celebrated in April and would
have a day called Recreation day in
August. Moreover. he would have all
holidays fall on Monday.
Moral: Don't be a mathematical re.
former.
