TO BE USED AS CANCER CURE
Mesothorium Proposed as Substitute
for Radium.

Philadelphia, Dec. PA substitute
for radium-mesothor has
the same curative action on cancer,
will be manufactured here during
1914.
Like radium, ii is the discovery OF
Nine. Curie, but has never been pro-
duced extensively.
Such was the substance of a state
ment by DR.. Harlan S. Miner, analyt-
ical chemist for large manufacture
ing concern. Mesothorium is so much
quicker and easier to manufacture
that it is estimated that the world S
supply of the cancer cure will be
doubled within twelve months.
The substance is derived from tho.
rum and the company owns large
mines collecting this mineral in North
and South Carolina. The only radium
deposits in the United States are in
Colorado.

four minor HouSeS Located IN VaTl-
Gus States Have Closed and the
Condition of Eight Others Is Similar
to the Parent Institution.
Mexico City, Dec. 24.--Directors of
begun a careful scrutiny of the affairs
of that institution and If their find
ings are endorsed by other bankers
it is not improbable assurances will
be offered the directors which will en-
able full resumption of the business
of the institution.
1t is reasonably certain, however,
that the bank will continue to avail
itself of the decree of President Huer-
Ia making the last ten days of the
present year legal holidays.
With the possible exception of one
other institution it is believed no 9th
er bank than the Bank of London and
Mexico will take advantage of the Of
fetal edict. which authorizes financial
institutions to do as little or as much
business as they desire during what
is regarded as a financial crisis.
The approximate amounts with
drawn from the bank since depositors
began demanding their money several
days ago is said to exceed 1900, 900
pesos. Of this amount $4,000, 600
pesos (S7 ,000,000) was withdrawn
since last Tuesday.
The Bank of London and Mexico
has twelve branches in the various
states. Four were closed some time
ago on account of local conditions.
On "a minor scale the condition of
the remaining branches is similar to
that of the parent institution, but all
are taking advantage of President
Huerta's decree.

COLLEGES URGE TEMPERANCE
Movement to Rule Out intoxicating
Liquors at Banquets Characterized
as important Step.

The effort being made by friends of
the University of California to have
passed by the student body an
amendment ruling out all Intoxicating
liquors from. the officially recognized
banquets and other social functions, is
in accordance with movement which
DR.. David Starr Jordan characterizes
as "the most important forward step
in American universities"
The large state universities, such as
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Indiana, do not serve
liquors at their class or officially rec
ognized student banquets, and how
ever much intelligent American citi-
zens may differ as to the best meth
ods of prohibiting or regulating the
liquor traffic no conscientious man or
woman can fail to recognize the alb
solute folly Of multiplying the work Of
the college or the university by per-
mitting temptation in the form of al
coholic drinks to be placed in the way
of the students.

THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE
ATTRIBUTED TO TEACHER.
Woman's Suspension Asked on Charge
That Pupils Were Under Her Spell.

Believing that Miss Elizabeth Cur,
tiss, teacher in the public school at
Roseville, N. Y, had practiced thought
transferrence upon her pupils for the
purpose of establishing her own inno-
cence, the school board of Staten Is
land recently recommended to the city
superintendent of schools that she be
suspended for one month and thep
transferred to another school.
This action explains to the bewilder-
ed pupils why for several days they
saw in large, bold letters on the main
blackboard in Miss Curtiss' room this
sentence:
Il did not see Miss Curtiss strike
William and Evelyn Bogardus."
The parents of the Bogardus children
preferred charges against Miss Curtiss
the latter part of September alleging
that she had cut Williams head with
a ruler and slapped Evelyn's face so
hard that her eye was discolored. No
tice of the charges was served upon
the teacher at once, and Immediately
there appeared on the blackboard the
mysterious statement.
That legend stared the children in
the face for several days. Every time
they looked up they saw it. Soon they
were singing it and whistling it. So
when Investigators of the board of ed
ucation questioned the pupils all they
could say was, 81 did not see Miss
Curtiss strike William. and Evelyn Bo-
gardus." Therefore the charges of the
Bogardus parents were dropped.
But Mr. Bogardus persisted. He in
vestigated, learned of the 'handwrit-
ing on the wall'' and then complained
to the local board.
At the trial it was charged that Miss
Curtiss had influenced the pupils
minds by the sentence on the black
board.

AWFUL RESULTS OF LIQUok
Moral Enemy Of Peace and Order, and
Despoller of Men and Cloud
That Shadows Faces.

Today It strikes a crust from the

1t is flexible to cajole but merciless

order, the despoiler OF men and ter
ror Of women, the cloud that shad-

that has dug more graves and sent
more souls unshrived to judgment
than all pestilences that have wasted
life since God sent the plaques to
Egypt and all the wars since Joshua
stood before Jericho.
1t comes to ruin, and 1t shall profit
mainly by the ruin Of your sons and

1t comes to mislead human souls
and to crush human hearts under its
rumbling wheels.
1t comes to bring gray-haired moth
ers down in shame and sorrow to
their graves.
1t comes to change the wife's love
into despair and her pride into shame.
1t comes to still the laughter on

Revolution In Train Operation.
The conductor in charge of the Lack
awanna limited, New York to Buffalo,
became ill when his train was thirty
miles east Of Scranton, Pa, few days
ago. The train is the first to be equip
ped for wireless telegraph service. The
conductor notified the wireless opera
tor of his condition, and while the train
was rushing fifty miles an hour and
although mountains rose high between
him and Scranton, the operator sent
message to the railroad superintendent
at Scranton. When the train pulled
into the station a relief conductor step
ped aboard, ready to take charge.
Forty miles from Scranton the con-
ductOr saw that he would need another
coach. A wireless message was sent
ahead, and by the time the train
reached Scranton the extra car was in
waiting.
L. B. Foley, superintendent of tele-
graph, who was on the train in charge
of the wireless testing, said:
"In my opinion the wireless will rev.
olutionize railroading. The time is
coming when the wireless telegraph on
trains will make the safety and con-
venience of railroad travelling 100 per
cent greater than 1t is today. And as a
preventive of accidents I think the
wireless will prove Of the greatest

Money to Labor.

When 10000 persons spend $500, 900
for liquor, only $500 goes to labor,
and only $25,200 to the farmer. If the
money was spent for shoes, clothing,
food, furniture, and building of new
homes, over $4,000 would go to labor,
and over 100000 to the farmer or
miner. and great proportion of this
money would again come back to labor
through the purchase Of more shoes,
clothing, furniture. hardware, farm
machinery, etc.-Kennebec (Me.)
