RADIUM is COMMON CURE
Its Application, Chiefly by Drinking
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.
DF. Frumesan, who has visited most
of them, has likewise become firmly
convinced of the efiicaciousness 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 inhalations
of r~dium emanations. For this
purpose a comfortable room has been
especially prepared. The doors and
windows have been thoroughly pad
ded and made almost Theoretically
tight. Accommodation is provided
for eight or ten patients, who may
take the cure simultaneously. The
radium emanation is provided by
"vollinhalatorium," a device which
is already popular and widely used
in Germany. The "vollinhalatori-
UNI" is a sort of upright tube, stand
ing a 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
carnations of radium through the
room with the air, which is itself
constantly renewed with a special
supply of oxygen.

mELBA AS A WHISTLER

Nine. Melba is to have her portrait
hung in the national gallery of her
native Melbourne. And another ma
tive of Melbourne remembers that
Nine. Melba, when a pupil at the
Ladies' Presbyterian college, was al
ready famous among her fellow pu-
pils-as whistler. She could stick
two fingers into one corner of her
mouth and whistle as long and as
loudly as the most accomplished lar
rikin. We may be thankful that her
early ambitions were shunted.

IN DANGER FROM LIGHTNING
observatorles on Lofty Mountains
often Struck n They Are
eullt IN the Snow.

One Of the greatest dangers to
mountain observatories is from
lightning. This was illustrated last
year, when the observatory on tho
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 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,
built in the snow, was struck a few
years ago, with the result that nails
were forged together. This was in
spite of lightning rod supplied with
a wire cable to a rock 300 yards away.
In spite of additional lightning
rods, the shocks continued. On one
occasion visiting guide reported
that for two hours and half he
watched ribbons Of fire passing hori-
zontally across one of the rooms.
Not far from these is another OBJ
servatory that in 10 years has never
been touched by Lightning. Instead
of being built in the snow, it rests
directly on the rock. It's copper roof
and even the stovepipe are connected
with the lightning rods, from which
conductors lead down into the rocks
and are fastened to them.

RETURNS BY CORPORATIONS
Large Penalties for Failure to Re-
port Brings Big Mail.
INCREASE IS QUITE APPARENT
Although Returns Are MeaRer Indi-
cations Are tina THE Tax for
1911 VIII Far surpass
that Of 1919.

That Nebraska corporations have beer
taught an expensive and not-soon-to-be
forgotten lesson by being severely penal
lied for failure to make a report on bust
ness transactions for $50 within the tim,
prescribed by internal revenue regulation.
is evlnced by the fact that Ross Ham
mond. collector OF internal revenues FOL
the Nebraska district, is deluged Will
returns made by corpcrations for 1911
The law allows them until March l. hui
many have been so badly frightened By
the wholesale filing a. suits for negh
gence by the United States attorney thai
they are getting their reports in q month
early. Mr.. Hammond believes that IL IN,
present rate OF returned reports Is kept
up until March there viii be no neces
sity to demand the penalty provided fol
from delinquent corporations, for the rea.
son that all 81 the $50 corporations ia
the state will have gotten under the wire
within the prescribed time limit.
Many Delinquent for 1910.
Chief Deputy Edward North. who has
charge Of the collection OF corporation
taxes, says that there were over l.5oo cor
porations who were delinquent in making
report for 1910. and from this number
$4,000 already has been collected in COM
promise fines. There are Still fifty-eigh,
who either refuse TO square up for 1915
or else have dissolved. and these are now
being sued for the full penalty OF sloocC
each in the federal district court. Should
all be compromised before the cases are
settled 1t Is estimated that the eompro-
mise fine fund will reach SSc0o.
In 1910 the tax on the $3.50 corpora
tons in Nebraska amounted to Sll5.St9s &c,
and from the reports already In II is be-
lieved that this amount will be greatly
increased for 1911, for prosperity In in
dlcated in nearly every report. The total
capitalization OF all the corporations
combined amounts to ss6s. 7sS,7H for 1910
and the bonded Indebtedness for the same
year is 500, sos,4Ss The net income is
placed at sls.oea.595.
The Nebraska collection district takes
in the entire ninety-two counties in the
state. and some OF the most prosperous
corporations are located In Omaha
Because Of the fact that all OF the re.
ports for 1911 are not In yet and will
not be until after March /, an exact
comparison Is impossible. but judging
from the reports already in. Nebraska
is a pretty healthy place for business.

County Refuses to
Pay for Extra Meal
for City Prisoners

No more city prisoners will be fed BY
the county free OF charge to the city
This is the stand the Board of County
Commissioners will take IL Deputy County
Attorney George A. Magney finds thai
the law will justify the board. Since laSt
October the board has refused TO pay
l. r. Wright, holder OF the contract fol
feeding prisoners. for the extra mea
given the prisoners who work on the
city rockpile. The city also has refused
to pay for the extra meal
Sheriff NSShane. representing Z :
King. who now holds the feeding con.
tract. appeared before the board to Learn
II the board will refuse TO pay King fol
the extra meal.
Mr.. Masney was called in and said he
doubts If the county is bound to pay
for any meals furnished city prisoners
lie was instructed to find out.
Prisoners in the county Jail are given
two meals a day. The county pays for
them. The county for years has cared
for prisoners convicted in police court of
violating city ordinances. Rock pile pris-
oners are given three meals a day The
county objected TO paying for the extra
meal
The cost of feeding city prisoners in
the county jail has been upwards Of
5000 year. When the city and the
county We're negotiating for settlement
OF their debts TO each other the county
insisted upon payment for all meals fur
rished city prisoners. and it appeared
that the citys total debt TO the county
was about $4,000 more than the county's
to the city. The city then dropped the
negotia lions and probably law suit will
be required to secure an accounting.

HOG RECEIPTS LARGEST EYER
New High Mark Set for Single Day
Estimate at South Omaha.
MnDER WEATHER CAUSES RUSH
while Farmers Have Been shut In
by the Cold Their Hogs Have
Developed Rapidly Into
Marketable Pork.

A new record for single-day receipts o.
hogs was established at the South onah a
yards yesterday. The days receipts were
ESQ The highest previous figure for
receipts on single day was recorded on
June %, 1906 on which date a,bol head
were officially counted.
The record is credited largely TO the
moderating weather. For weeks farmers
have been shut in by the cold. and in
the meantime their hogs have been devel-
oping and as soon as the weather mod
Grated the shippers rushed TO market.
South Omaha experts also explain that
the heavy market is due to a large ex-
tent TO better railroad esrivce. There still
remain in the country plenty OF market
able porkers. and shipments are liable to
be brisk for some time.

New Railroad Deal
May Help Omaha to
Move Coast Traffic

Local railroad men are not In the least
surprised over the report that the HUI
interests in the Burlington and the Moore
Bros interests in the Rock Island are
about to secure the Gould holdings in
the Denver & Rio Grande and the West
ern Pacific. Some of them see In the
new ownership OF the majority of the
stock OF the two roads waIl street spec
ulation proposition. while others look
upon the deal as tie ultimate result that
IA the near future there win be two more
lines running from Omaha to the Pacific
coast
All railroad men agree that for long
time the Goulds have been anxious to
unload their Rio Grande and Western
Pacific stock and that the time has now
arrived. Hill and the Moores being in
the field. anxious TO place themselves in
u position where the Utah gateway Will
NOT again be closed against them.
Railroad men generally contend that
the Hill and Moore roads have practically
been forced to buy into the Denver n
Rio Grande and the Western Pacific TO
prevent being forced into the same hole
where they have been before and where
they have been at the mercy of the vest
ern roads.
