At the same time the investigators
make no extravagant claims regard

best method of proceeding, they as
sert, is to combine the therapeutic eff
fects of radium with surgical opera

Dr. Dominica, in referring to the
great rarity of radium, says that his

ators were rendered possible only by
an apparatus supplied by the Philan-

PARIS, Feb. 21.-The French Acad-
envy of Science received proof positive
this week of the curative value of
radium in cases of cancerous vascu-
lar tumors, classed as deep angiomas.
Evidence was submitted by Dr. Dom
inici in describing researches made by
himself and his collaborators, Drs.
Henri Cberon and Rubens Duval. Not
only did DR.. Dominica supply the
learned gathering with photographs
taken before and after the cures, to-
gether with anatomical specimens,
tissues under the influence of radium,
but in an adjoining room were four
patients who had undergone the ra-
dunn treatment and were subjected
to an exhaustive examination by the
members of the academy,
DR.. Dominica in his paper said that,
in cases of deep-seated cancer, radium
was generally used as palliative with
the object of lessening pain and rem
dering the tumor more accessible to
the surgeons knife.
In most cases the application of
radium in this way led to noteworthy
if temporary amelioration.
Still better results had been obtained
in certain classes of deep-seated can
er, such as cancer of the carotid gland
and neck, which, under the influence
of the ultra-penetrating rays, showed

COAST DEMOCRATS ARE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-While the
new administration is expected strong
| ly to support the merit system in APP
pointive offices, the fact that three
or four hundred good salaries in the
federal service will be open in
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
California this year has not been over
looked by any TO the democratic lead
ers along the coast. A new scheme
for dividing up the fruits of victory is
invented every day. All plans have
the proviso, of course, that Woodrow
Wilson shall follow the custom of POI
itics in this matter
Congressman Raker, Church and
Kettner, the only democratic Pacific
coast men in the house, have agreed
to cut California into three parts, the
northern of which shall fall to Raker,
the central to Church and the south
ern to Kettner. Having no democratic
senators from California to dispute
their title, and the national commit
teeman being notably anti-Wilson,
they feel safe in assuring the county
committees that the committees shall
name the postmasters, and that they
will do the rest.

WAR RESUMPTION DOES
NOT BRING SAME HORROR

CONsTANTINOPLE, Feb. 21.-The
renewal of fighting along the Tchatalja
lines and at Adrianople. is bringing
again to Constantinople the long lines
of wounded men, some in filters, 9TH
ers walking stoically by themselves,
still others supported by hospital
stewards or their companions-in-
arms. The: situation, however, for
these unfortunates is improved in
some ways, for today the CONSTANT
nople hospitals are better equipped to
care for the wounded,
Two months have passed since the
nghting was discontinued to give d.
plomacy chance to make peace In
London, and these weeks have been
utilized to make preparations OF many
kinds. The possibility of further fight
ing has never been lost sight of, and
chief among the eventualities pro-
vided for has been the care Of the
wounded and the sick. Many Of the
wounded who were in the city hospi-
tails when the armistice was declared.
have recovered and been discharged to
return again to the firing line. The
hospitals at the front have been
cleared of all cases that could be
moved to make room for new cases,
and In Constantinople there have
been established number Of infirm-
aries for the housing of convalescents.
The December horrors Of the cholera
camp at San Stefano are now happily
a thing OF the past The noble and
self-sacrificing work done here by
devoted women and men for the suffer-
ing Turkish soldiers brought not only
alienation at the time when the stu
alton in the camp was at Its worst,
but 1t has resulted In the establish
ment of better sanitary and general
conditions at the camp, SO that If the
dread visitor cholera again makes its

be open for the stricken.
