Berlin and other Cities Accommodating
RadIUm and Mesothorium
for Purpose.

Berlin--The municipality OF Berlin
is following the example of three or
four other German cities and is max
ing arrangements for obtaining a sup
ply OF radium and mesothorium, in
view Of the increasing Importance
which they are obtaining in the fight
against cancer Directors OF hospitals
under the municipality have been ask
ed to make detailed reports on the
subject.
. While it is an uzdoubted fact that
German medical authorities are grow
ing more inclined to favor radium in
their treatment Of cancer, it must be
pointed out that none of them regards
radium as an absolute cure, and that
the greatest caution must still be used
before any definite Judgment can be
passed on its efficiency.
Professor Czerny, whose name is
highest among cancer authorities,
maintains that surgical operation in
the early stages of the disease is su-
perior to any other method of treat
ment and certainly gives the best pros
pect OF permanent relief The profes-
sors is extremely cautious in his judg-
ment on radium, while admitting that

Alexander Pope, the deathless poet

him Mean and little and contemplate
as he was in many of his personal re-

Montagu's estimate of his infinite lit

bsoad streak This, of course, from
the viewpoint of the intellectual. He
was in ready sympathy with the strug-
glers on the stage, and he wrote this
apology for imperfections that are in

GREAT CARE MUST BE OBSERVED IN

of the Preventive Under Insanay Conditions Drop
of the Serum Carefully Tested Before Being Sent
Out by the Stale Agricultural College.

IF KANSAS farmers are to have
the highest success possible with
anti-hog-choIera serum they must
observe care in its use. This is evil
dent from complaints which have
come to the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege recently in which serum is
blamed for losses in herds vaccinated
with the simultaneous method In
Vestigations of these apparent failures,
by the college, leads to the conclusion
that it is not safe to vaccinate weak
animals, pregnant sows, or any hogs
kept in insanitary pens
ct is unsafe to vaccinate hogs IN
less the pens in which they are kept
are in a reasonably sanitary c9ndi-
ton" said DR.. F. S. Schoenleber, state
veterinarian, in Amounting the re-
suits of a number of Investigations
THE wound made by the needle used
in vaccinating is likely to become IN
fected under such conditions. AS a
result the vitality OF the animal IS re-
duced to such an extent that the hog

of big strikes in the new diggings, and
was resolved to change his base and
try his luck. No bullion had been
sent over to the mint for nearly a
the horse before he turned in for the
night.
Hello! what's up?" calculated Jim,
as he discovered the stall empty and
the wagon missing from its customary
place. He ran out to look about the
vicinity for some trace of it. Round
ing a rock he came upon the rig all
ready for travel Two men stepped
from the shadow of the vehicle.
That will do-hands up!" ordered
one of them. and il was Bltnky Rogers
who spoke.
His companion made a jump for
Jim. He was so quick that he had the
advantage A rock or weapon in his
hand laid Jim PROSTATE. His senses
deserted him.
When he aroused, Jim was con-
scious that he was lying in the bot
tom Of the wagon. He was tied hand
and foot and thele was a gag in his
mouth The back door of the box was
locked. He could hear the two men
on the seat beyond the front barrier
conversing.
Think it the right idea to cart
him along with us?" spoke one voice.
You would leave him there to
raise a posse and put after us, would
you?" challenged Blinky Rogers

Now Jim guessed out the riddle. The

and they probably had the tools to
break into the cr-deIy safeguarded
treasure room. They had utilized his
rig to cart away their plumber. They
had made him helpless. They might
efectually dispose of him when their
task was completed
1t was four hours later when the We
! hicle came to a stop. Jim heard the
men leave the wagon. Then there was
long lapse of silence.
When they returned the rear doors
of the vehicle were unlocked. Some
thing was, pushed in, something heavy
in two large canvas sacks.
It's big haul, and oh, how easy!"
Jim heard Blinky Rogers chuckle.

THE history of some of these out
breaks shows that when pigs are vac
cinated with the simultaneous method
too young, say under fifty pounds, a
good many will outgrow the immunity
and if they are exposed to cholera
eight months to a year afterward they
may develop the disease. AS a re-
suit of our Investigations I would ad-
wise that the simultaneous method be
not used upon weak animals, pregnant
sows or any hogs in insanitary pens.
The serum-alone method can be used
to ward off cholera, but this should
be followed as soon as practicable
with the simultaneous treatment.
Serum alone does not injure the ami
mails If they are properly handled.
Every drop of serum made at the
agricultural college is thoroughly
tested before it is sent out. Six sus-
ceptibIe hogs are innoculated with
cholera germs. Twice as much in
fected blood is injected into these ami
mails as they ever would get by vac
cination. Two of these test pigs are
vaccinated with a normal dose of the
serum, two with threeTourths the
normal amount, and two receive no
serum. If the two not receiving serum
die of cholera in the usual time, and the
four receiving serum live and show no

JIM AND THE ROBBERS

When Biinky Rogers, loafer, claim

that they had seen the last of him.
Jim Tousey shared the hope 1t was
his horse that had been stolen down at
Golden Gulch. He had trailed his
despoiler, finding him in the midst Of
festive revelry. His story, soon told,

burg The mines had become skinned
out and nearly all the old workers
had gone over to the new diggings at
Amar. Jim would have gone, too, only
for Elsie. His present mission was
to drive the mine wagon with what
bullion there was over to the branch
mint at Dorseyville. His recovered
horse was staunch and equal to the
long, heavy run up hill and down dale.
The wagon was a heavy one, its box
top being made of sheet iron with
two back doors and tiny slot over
the drivers seat

Because of the drouth, very little
corn fit for seed will be produced in
Kansas this season. With the ex-
ception OF a few favored localities the
majority of the corn planted next sea
son will have to come from one of
two sources; namely, shipped in
from the Eastern states, or from 1912
crop. Extensive experiments cover
ing period of nine years in which
Kansas grown seed of a number OF
varieties of corn were compared with
the seed of the same variety intro
duced from other states show that
the introduced seed was not as pro-
ductive as the Kansas grown corn by
eight bushels to the acre. This would
mean that if all of the corn planted in
Kansas was obtained from the sources
from which the seed in these tests
were secured, the Kansas crop would
be reduced sixteen million bushels.
Results obtained in the Co-opera-
tive Experiments conducted through
out the state during the last four
years, show conc1usiveIy that home
grown seed of any given variety Of
corn is better than that introduced
from other parts OF the state, other
things being equal.
The 1912 crop of corn grown in
the locality in which the seed is to
be planted will in all probability be
the best source OF seed corn for next
