To Cure Cancer

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-Announce-
ment was made by Sidney Mason
president of the Welsbach Company
that the corporation had begun the
manufacture of mesothorium, a min
eral salt having the same radioactive
curative and palliative properties as
radium.
This announcement is of tremendous
Importance to the thousands who suf-
fer from various forms of cancer, ano
because of the scarcity of .radium are
unable to obtain radium treatment
Mesothorium is a derivative of tho
rum, while radium is derived from
uranium, but their healing rays are
existent in both substances, although
in slightly different proportions of ac.
tivity. But mesothorium has beer
proved to be the equal of radium ii

Santa Claus's
Home in Germany
By Karl Won Wiegand

Berlin Correspondent, United Press
Berlin, Dec 23.-The worlds Toy
land is Germany, and Santa Claus's
capital and headquarters is not at
the north pole but at Sonneberg (Sun
Mountain), a town in the duchy of
Meiningen, on the edge of the great
Thuringian forest. Almost the entire
population of the city of $4,000 inhab-
ltants is in the employ Of Santa Claus.
Every house is workshop for Santa.
Germany exported toys to the value oil
S20,000,000 last year. From the raids
made on the shops by old Kris Kringle
this year the figures are expected to
reach between S24,000,000 and $780,
100000.
Santa Claus is more generous to his
little friends in the United States than
to the children of any European coun-
try. Last year he shipped BOT car
loads of toys from Sonneberg and Nu-
remberg to New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore, Galveston and San
Francisco, from which cities he dis
tributed them to American boys and
girls all over the country. That some
complained to him about being forgot
ten seems TO be the case, for this
year old Santa shipped 800 carloads
10 America. America is Germany's
best toy customer. 1t took this year
considerably more than one-third of
the total output of Santa's workshops
in the entire world. Americas toy
bill for the year 1913 will approx
mate $8,000,0G0
The toy industry of Germany has
very little competition. In it are en-
ployed thousands Of men, women, boys
and girls. The centers of the industry
are the quaint old towns Of Sonneberg
and Nuremberg. Nuremberg is San
ta's workshop for railroad trains, tin
soldiers, aeroplanes, airships, guns,
cannon, swords, drums and countless
other toys that on Christmas gladden.
