Dogs DEATH STARTED WAR
Among the Beaver Tribe of Indians,
So Legend Has It.

If we could only>set at the facts Of
the history of our Indian tribes. it
would be of interest to compare these
with what is related as the fortune OF
most civilized nations 1t is only in
tradition that the history of the Indian
lives, and only one version of the story
is ever heard. Sometimes this is SO
true to nature that no room for doubt
can be found. Such is the following
chapter from the annals of the Beay-
ers. q Canadian tribe.
one day a young chief shot his ar
row through dog belonging to anoth-
er brave. The brave revenged the
death of his dog. and instantly hun
dred bows were drawn. Ere night had
fallen some sixty warriors lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations of the women
the tribe had lost its bravest men.
That was temporary truce. The
friends of the warrior whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune in the vast
wilderness lying to the south.
In the night they began their
i march; sullenly their brethren saw
them depart, never to return. They
went their way to the shores Of the
Lesser Slave Lake. toward the great
plains which We're said to be far south
ward. by the banks of the swift roll
ling Saskatchewan.
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again. but a hundred
Years later a Beaver Indian who fol-
/ lowed the fortunes Of a white FUR
hunter, found himself in one of the
forts of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians We're eamped about the pail
sades; they We're members of the great
Blackfoot tribe. whose hunting grounds
lay south of the Saskatchewan Among
them were a few braves who, when
they conversed, spoke a language diff
ferent from that of the others in this
language the Beaver Indian recog-
nized his own tongue.-Harper's Week

We have established the most i'm
portant and interesting fact that
diseased tissues absorb the radium
rays much more readily than healthy
tissue. This is especially true in lupus
tuberculosis of the skim and
several forms of cancer. 1t should be
noted that the effect of radium is
proportioned to the quantity of rays
absorbed by the tissue treated. Lupus
tissue absorbs twice as much as nor
nal tissue. l. e, 66.7 per cent, as COM
pared with 81 per cent. in normal.
In cancer $50 per cent. of the rays
are absorbed.
l have recently treated thirty cases
with a newly devised radium appara-
tus. Many of these We're lupus. pre-
senting deep. painful, and dangerous
sores. In twentythree Of these cases
i'absolute and lasting cures We're
effected.
Experiments in the Hamburg State
Physical Laboratory have proved
that when the human skin is sub
/ jected to the radium rays about two
thirds of the rays are absorved. The
outer skin absorbs but about one
tenth, while the inner skin takes up
more than half of the rays.
| When the spot to be reached is
one third of an inch under the skin.
the absorption is considerable. but if
two thirds of an inch deep, the alb
sorption is limited. A bit of cancer
growth at this depth seemed to abb
sorb only about 1-127 of the rays
shed upon it. Here we have the very
first instance of an exact measure
ment of the absorptive power of It's
sue at different depths.
The effects of radium rays upon
the central nervous system arg quite
interesting. When the rays We're ap-
piled to the brain and spinal cord of
young mice it was noted that lame
ness and other nerve paralysis en-
sued, ending in death. Afterward it
was found that there was hyperae-
mia the Excessive accretion of blood)
in the brain, its coverings and in the
spinal cord. and heavy loading of
blood in all parts of the central ner-
vous system. The front parts of the
spinal cord were congested.
When the radium rays are played
upon the exterior nerves of the human
body there is a marked beneficial eff.
feet, especially in neuralgia.
If a capsule of radium be brought
near or laid upon the head. there is
sense of diffused light. This is
caused by the influence of the rays

TREATMENT
FOR
ECZEMA
RADiUM FOR SUFFERERS.
There are Sealed Rooms Where the
Sick Breathe and Battle In 1t.

We are now able to report Il great
many new observations concerning the
effects of radium upon disease.
/ have been much interested 10 find
that the miners working in the radi-
um-bearins region of Joac1timsthal, in
Bohemia, are free from rheumatism
and neuralgia. The drinking of radi-
um-bearng water on the spot-not
bottled-seems 10 have good effect.
. The manner in which the einana-
tions of radium are absorbed by tie
body was first studied by Professor
Loewenthal. who says that even in
baths of radium bearing water alb
sorption takes place not through the
pores Of the skin, but through inhala :
ton by the lungs. due To the gas form
ing power of the carnations, and the
impermeability of the skin TO gases in
MATER.
g In the inhalation treatment several
persons may be treated at the same
time. One method is to have the pa
tients fnhaie over a vessel of warm
water into which the radium solution
has been placed. But this is primitive
lacking precision as to the dose given
Another method is TO spray mouth
and nose directly with solution of ra-
dunn; but this too, lacks precision.
Still enother method is to cover the
face with "a mask filled with radiun
water of 100000 to 100000 units solu-
ton. The nose and mouth of the pa
tient are so covered that he must
breathe the solution and absorb II
for several hours, oxygen being sup
piled from a reservoir In this way q
49, a;,. In AZ Ya1
emanations is secured, without incon-
venience.
To treat a number of persons al
once sealed rooms are needed. Foi
Sthis purpose an 'temanatorium'' has
been invented by Professor Loewen'
thai The stream of emanations i:
forced from the emanator by s
stream of oxygen, calculated accord
ing TO the number of persons in th'
room The even distribution of the
emanation gas mixture is regulate
by an elestric yentilator, which alb
serbs the products of respiration ant
steam in Il tower of chalk. In this
way it is possible TO treat six O
eight patients at the same time in ;
single room thirty cubic feet in size
for three hours or more.
Another apparatus for the sam
purpose has been devised, in whiCl
the patient is surrounded by coil q
tube. having little holes through which
radio active air is blown upon him.
The agglutinating action of the Sc
rum of typhus fever is arrested by ra.
dunn rays Even the poison of tht
deadly cobra has been made harmless
by radium.

Question 6.--Vcrses 41-42. What per
cent. of children VINO are religiously
trained by a mother both wise and
good will develop into strong religious
characters?
Answer. Jesus not only had the adj
vantage of wise and good ancestry,
but also Of very devoted parents. who
dedicated him to God even before he
was born, and who from tie beginning
both by precept and example, trained
him in q religious life. Without TAX
ing into consideration Christ's divine
nature. and thinking Of him wholly as
man. we may safely say that Jesus
owes much to his religious training
for his after wonderful career. This is
the story which suggests the question
that | am asked to answer. Taking
the evident meaning of the question, l
am bound to give an unqualified am
swer that all children may be trained
50 they will develop strong religious
characters. 1Hef framing ought TO
commence long before they are born.
We read of some men who We're filled
with the Holy Spirit from their youth;
men who were born with a religious
disposition or cast of mind This dis
position was prenatal, and when sup
plemented with good example and wise
training. there is no possibility for
such children to be other than religi-
Gus. Religion, under normal con-
ditions, is Just as natural to a human
being as breathing, and when this
predisposition is properly developed, if
results in a strong Christian charac-
ter. If parents would begin early
enough to train their children, they
would all become Christians. A mo-
Their whose thoughts are of God, and
who spends much time in thinking of
spiritual things, and dedicates her
child to God before birth, and who
from the beginning teaches him about
Jesus, may surely depend that that
child will live to some purpose, and
be an honor and credit to his parents,
to the community, and to the cause of
God.
