FROM OTHER pENS

POTASSIUM SALTS FOR CANCER
Sir Felix Semon, writing to the
London Times, in regard to the Bell
Bashford libel suit, declares emphat-
ically that cancer begins as a purely
local affection and is not primarily a
general blood disease. After a time
the infectious matter is carried into
other organs of the body. If the case
comes under observation then or aft
erward, the mere removal of the
original tumor is doomed to failure"
This implies that, in his opinion, IL
does become a blood disease and,
though not originating in the blood,
is carried by it. from the part it at
first attacks to other parts. But. what
he wishes to make clear to all per-
sons who find themselves afflicted
with cancer is, that the knife must
be used for h excision of h af-
fected part at the very first, instead
of looking for relief from the blood
treatment. DR.. Ross says that he has
not discovered a cure for cancer, but
thinks he has got very. near it. He
holds that diet has nothing to do with
it; neither is 1t an irritation of parts
or a pack infection, but an xhaus
ton of a natural quality caused by di-
minution of potassium salts. These
are thrown away in the milling
process of flour production, as they
are contained in the cortex or chaff
of the wheat or other grain, and with
the water in which rice and vegeta-
bles are boiled. Citrate bi%carbonate
of potassium drunk, and phosphate of
potassium applied to the sore spot.
are the remedies he has faith in to
destroy the cancer cells.-Brooklyn
Citizen.
WORKING FOR STRAIGHT TEETH.
The Society of Good Cheer, Of
Greater New York, has begun a move
ment to correct defective teeth in the
children of the New York schools. 1t Is
a work that will be of great value, par
ticuIarly to the patient, and that can
be successfully done only with children.
Millions of people have lived and died
who were handicapped by the fact that
their teeth protruded or were not
straight. 1t has long been known that
such cases respond readily to treatment
when the patient is young, but most
parents are of the opinion that results
of little value would follow medical at
tention. There is a big field before the
New York society, and in doing the
work Immediately at hand 1t will lay
the children under an obligation thew
can never epay. The life current of
many thousands has been changed be-
cause of their defective teeth.-Roches-

PASTURE FOR NEW PARTY.

Where, then. will Colonel Roosevelt
find the material for his third party
If, as is now reported, he will start
in August an independent movement
addressed to the progressives of 9th
parties? To get any votes at all he
must weaken the Democratic party as
well as summon to his assistance the
few lingering extremists of his owr
persuasion. If he persists in this re-
ported program he will help toward the
reelection nf President Taft, but 1t
may be seriously doubted if the gath
ering OF the clans under the Roose-
Welt banner will be at all numerically
impressive.-Boston Transcript.
