a l0ST BOTTLE OF RADOUM
hAlhAohDlNARY POSSIBILITIES OF CRIME AND ACCIDENT
THAT LIE IN THE STRAY TUBI
paris Cor. New York American,

(Paris Cor. New York American.)
\ tiny tube or radium from the
laboratory of Madame Curie has been
lost in Paris. Uncomfortable tcrrors
and dangers surround this apparently
trifiing occurrence.
The tube of radium may cause
death or mutilation to innocent and
ignorant persons. or. i'm the hands of
criminals. it may become an instru-
defy detection.
This tube OF radium is shooting out
rays at the speed Of 10000 miles q
second. The powers of those rays are
only partly understood, but it is
known that they can cause terrible in
jury and death according to the length
of exposure.
Ihe lost tube was given to a mes
senser for conveyance to an Ameri-
can doctor in Paris. On arriving at
ms destination the messenger found
that he had dropped the tube or been
robbed of it.
Already the suggestion has been
widely spread that radium might be
used in crime. and has certainly been
acted upon in some instances.
The police are investigating a series
Of crimes believed to have been COM
united by a gang moving in fashion
dpie society IN Paris. The criminals
are of good education and possess
abundant resources of all kinds. One
of their number is a brilliant and
beautiful woman of noble birth, who
has played the part Of a social hos
tess with great success.
They plotted to get possession of
the fortune of a millionaire named
Count de Castillon. Having made his
acquaintance, they invited him to t
at a handsome chateau they rented in
the country. The woman criminal
and n of the men posed as host and
hostess. With them was their beauti-
full young daughter.
After a week in this house the
count was stricken with an attack OF
general paralysis. A doctor was
promptly called in and failed to give
the sick man any relief. He was
greatly puzzled by the case. for he was
unable to find any explanation of the
disease or any history which might
have led UP to 1t.
h count gradually grew worse and
died in the conspirators' house. The
woman expressed the deepest grief al
this event, and explained that tho
dead man had been engaged to her
young daughter.

years on her back. she can move
around with almost the same spright-
illness that marked her when she
played soubrette roles.
Her cure came as a result of an
operation performed at the hospital
for deformities and joint diseases by
Dr.. Henry W. Frauenthal, who has a
high reputation as a surgean. She
has been a patient there nine months,
this being the tenth institution Of
which she had been an inmate. The
doctors would not go into details re-
garding the operation and the pa
tient herself can describe it only. by
saying that in some way pressure was
taken off the spine and that the
nerves were restored to their normal
functions.
After the operation she was treated
regularly with electricity. Soon she
found that with an effort she could
get around on crutches. That was a
big step forward. Each day she was
able to help herself a little more and

ENDS HER LIVING DEATH.
Yiddlsh Actress ParaIyzed for Seyer
Years Returns to Stage.

New York WORLDLY
Seven years ago Nine. Emma Fink
81 ranked with Kalisch and Adler and
Gordin and Kessler as q star on the
Yiddish stage. but her career was cut
short by her jealous husband, who
shot i've bullets into her body and
then killed himself. The World Of
June .. 1904. gave 1t as the Doctors
opinion that the actress would die
within q few hours.
But she fooled them. She did not
die. She was only 26 years old and
unusually robust. This helped her
gfht of death. but it didn't give her
back full life. for she was paralyzed
from the hips down. and the bullet
wounds refused to heal. The paral-
ysis came from a wound to the spine.
So she faded from the minds Of the
East Side theatregoers. Now and
then some one of that section would
get q report about the former favor
lite. telling of her helpless. bedridden
condition, with no hope that she
would ever get better.
Now she reappears In the Peoples
theater In the Bowery as EEypt's

made her greatest success years ago.

The New York trade in second hand
artificial teeth is a small and new one,
but its activity is brisk. The demand
exceeds the supply. Perhaps this is
because people arc not generally aware

shouldn't there be a lively trade in
second hand teeth? There is a big
demand for second hand hair. Why

The woman who "keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, Homework becomes
heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
tn, worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Bacllache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills APP
pears, together with discolored condi-
ton Of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.
