FINDS SURE CURE FOR CANCER
French Physieian Reports Results
of Tests and Gives Recipe
TO Ppbiic. .fe

Thirty.three cases Of cancer In varying
degrees of mahgnancy are claimed to
have been wholly or parity cured by a
Paris physician, Dr. Hanbe Dugers, as
result Of the treatment discovered BY
him and made public. this week. The
method whereby he combats one OF the
most terrible scourges known TO human
ity CONSISTS Of subcutaneou< infections
OF eoiloid Of peroxide OF copper hydrats,
introduced into The system at Intervals
varying from four days to a. week. The
effect OF the drug 10 said 20 be. the
prompt arrest Of further aeyelopment
Of the growth; In many cases the In
furious influence on the body has ais
appeared.
He says he was led to adopt copper as
basis of the remedy because he noticed
throughout his professional, career that
mineral water containing this metal
proved valuable for cancer OF the tongue
or other parts Of the body, especially
under the skin. and also because he con
siders no compound really useful IN
treating this disease N the eiements
thereof are not found In the constitu-
tion Of animal organism.
Whether case Of cancer Is recent and
never has been operated upon or Whistler

ally operated on several times. DR.. Du-
gers declares his treatment win effect q
cure 90 long as the patient is not
actually dying. CoIioid OF copper b not
poisonous. he declares. and injections
can be given almost without pain by any
qualified physician.
Another discovery Of considerable I'm

Prof. Delbet. a member OF the French
Academy OF Medicine. who has Just de-
scribed to that body q method fer the

Eat the crust Of bread In preference
TO the crumb. This Is the advice Of the
Lancet. for century or more n sort Of
doctors bible. This London medical pub
hcationr says that analysis shows that
the crumb contains ON an average q
per cent OF moisture, whiie the crust
contains only 20 per cent. One important
dietetie difference between crust and
crumb Is the fact that the former con-
tains an increased amount OF soluble
carbohydrates. owing 10 the action OF
intense heat which the crust receives
compared with the crumb during baking.
Moreover, the crust has a more pro-

From the records in the city comptrol-
ier's office Il appears that the troubles
of Charles IL. Davis, former councilman
from the Twelfth ward are not new. He
began selling his salary almost as soon
as he got his certificate of election. Al
first he would only make assignment OF
his salary Of si2s from month 20 month,
1t was not long. however. until he began
TO sell for two months in advance. then
for three and four. In at least one In
stance he assigned his warrants to two
purchasers for the same month.
And In the meantime, according to his
own admissions, he was raking In money
from various sources, some as pure graft.
some as alleged intermediary between
citizens and the council and more as
l''loans'' made at an opportune moment.
Assignments Stepped.
II also transpires when City comptrol-
tier .Cosgrove called a halt, last April. on
1.-THE long established custom Of register
ing salary assignments he made a rule
that his office would accept orders for
warrants only after the money had been
learned. To get around this obstacle the
money loaners would have the order for
the warrant dated far enough ahead TO

Id was due Where these orders were
accepted by the comptroller he made the

The French are great believers In the 1ndi-

Paris.
This Spring there are so many individual
fads that may be adopted by the clever stu,
dent of fashion. The new veils for instance.
are we'll worth studying, The one shown in
the picture l call the highwaymans veil. The
upper part is very much like the brigands
mask and there is no doubt that the veil in
its entirety forms a complete disguise.
Only the woman with pronounced coloring
and large eyes should adopt this veil. The
woman Of Indefinite colorlng and vague
features must content herself with the new
fine mesh wells having large fiat spots
worked In the mesh.
And then the neck! French women OF the

pecks. They never have worn the linen collar
or the stiff. ugly stock, formerly the sign
manual OF the American woman. The after
noon frocks Of this Spring are made collar
less; frequently the narrow yoke Is also
omitted Generally high-necked guimpe or
tucker Of fine net is also made to wear with
these collarless frocks, as mlady chooses
The collars are supported with the most deli
cate of silk-covered wire, that is frequently
unnoticed by the casual observer
On the other hand. with the morning frock
or tailored costume the neck should be elab.
oratey dressed this Spring. There are charm
ing effects for the woman with the thin neck
and restraining effects for the woman with
the fat neck and plump chin. Notice the
three-tiered collar shown with the smart
trotteur costume. This can be developed in
fine lace or net and Is an admirable setting
for the thin face and neck.
