ATTRACTION A NO.
Another Strong Number Rendered
Last Niqht.

Last Night.
The Heiser- Gorrell company pro-
duced another strong play last eve
ming at the Airdome.
The Ashton Robbery a play OF
great merit was given in way
that proved entirely satisfactory to
all who attended.
The parts were all strong and the
support given the leading man and
lady was all that could have been
asked.
The hero who sacrificed his all,
position in society and business and
even married the woman he thought
guilty of a crime to save the friend
who had stood by him when he
stood in need of helping hand
and the girl who married the man
she did not love to save her old
father from ruin and subsequent dis
grace. were both wellacted parts.
The play in the main bordered
upon tragedy, but the detective who
was going to hang someone yet
and Reason Spray, the man OF
many lodges and ever In search OF
a match, added just enough OF well
acted comedy to cause the laughter
to force back the tears.
The vaudeville between the acts
was good and clean, the singing
all that could be asked for and the
foot work of the ''man who could
die dancing was par excellence.
The number for tonight will be
a romance of Old Mexico. The
cast of characters as set forth in
the program guarantees that the
lover of good drama will be well
repaid for attending this perform
ance. As announced by Mr. Gorrell
on behalf of the company, nothing
but satisfaction is given by this
company. Should anyone feel that
he has not gotten his moneys worth
all he has to do is to so state AT
the box office and his money Will
be refunded.

RADIUM IS cCIAMON CURE
-ts Application, Chiefly by Drtu4ing and Inhalation, an Established
 Usage in Germany.

Application of radium, chiefly by drinking and inhalations, has now become quite an established usage in most of the German cure stations. Dr. Frumesan, who has visited most of them, has likewise become firmly convinced of the efficaciousness of the radium cure through inhalations, and has gone to considerable expense to set up an installation in Paris The most effective way of applying the cure is by means of inhalatiops of :4dium emanations. For this purpose a comfortable room has been especially prepared. The doors and windows have been thoroughly pad ded and made almost dramatically tight. Accommodation is provided for eight or ten patients, who may take the cure simultaneously. The radium emanation is provided by a ''vollinhalatorium," device which is already popular and widely used in Germany. The "vollinhalatori- um" is sort of upright tube, stand ing yard or more high, at the bot tom of which the radium is placed. Special currents of air are forced up through the tube and convey the emanations of radium through the room with the air, which is itself constantly renewed with special supply of oxygen

IN DANGER FKUM LIGHTNING
ObserVatories on Lofty Mountains Often Struck if They Are
 Built in the Snow.

One of the greatest dangers to mountain observatories is from lightning. This was illustrated last year, when the observatory on the summit of Mont Blanc was struck ; one man was injured so badly that he has since died.
 The reasons for this danger are evident. The ground is frozen and snow is a bad conductor of electric ity. This particular building is of wood, buried in the snow. The roof was covered with copper plates, but the copper is not to be blamed as the building was struck by lightning in 1909 while building and before the copper was put on.
 Another Mont Blanc observatory, b>-ilt in the snow, was struck a few years ago, with the result that nails were forged togethor. This was in spite of lightning rod supplied with a wire cable to rock 300 yards away.
 In spite of additional lightning rods, the shocks continued. On one occasion a visiting guide reported that for two hours and a half he watched ribbons of fire passing hori- zontally across one of the rooms.
 Not far from these is another ob- servatory that in 13 years has never been touched by lightning. Instead of being built in the snow, it rests directly on the rock. Its copper roof and even the stovepipe are connected with the lightning rods, from which conductors lead down int, thc rccks and are fastened to them.

". C. I. U.

While the attendance was not so large at the meeting yesterday the fine program was very much enjoyed and many valuable les sons learned. The subject was Medical Temperance, and the deductions which scientists have brought to bear on alcohol as a medicine prove beyond a doubt thatit has no place as such. When we have the physicians as our allies in fighting this evil, surely it will be not long until the education among the masses will be so general that nothing short of ab solute prohibition can and will prevail. Every body knows the harmfulness of liquor as a beverage and now when they find from extensive laboratory experiments that it is destruc- tive as a medicine in disease the battle will be won.
 A pertinent question was ask ed by tbe leader why the min. isters knew more of these scien- tific facts than many of the phy- sicans.
 The answer was that the Wom- ans Christian Temperance Union had supplied these finding of science to the ministry to the neglect of the physicians, where upon a motion was carried for the Union to present a budget of this literature to each physician of the community.
 So we ask them to please be on the lookout for this package, and when it is received to give it a careful reading. We feel, how ever, that the temperance work is safe, even to the medical part of it, in the hands of most of our doctors.
