delberg, reports on an alternative treat
ment of cancer by a combination of
chemical and radioactive treatment. He
uses as the chemical element cnolin, d
product of the decomposition of lecithin,
one of the fatty substances found In
the body. 1t was observed about IA
year ago that under the influence of
| radium rays the, lecithin of the body
tended to change into cholin. This led
10 experiments with the INTRODUCTION Oh
cholin into the body, thereby initiating
in chemical way one of the effects of
radioactive treatment. Professor Wer-
ner has now treated several hundred
cases and reports In a considerable per-
centage decided improvement. In some
instances the complete disappearance
of the growth under treatment has been
noted. though only time can tell wheth-
er actual cures have been scored.
One of the advantages claimed by
Professor Werner for his method of
treatment is that the amount of radium
required Is greatly reduced.

A Modern Utopia
Klingenberg. town in southern Ger
many on the river Main. may lay claim
to many of the characteristics of mod
ern Utopia 1t not only supplies every
resident with well paid work and re-
lieves him of all his municipal and
state taxes, but gives him an annual
allowance of $500 for pin money, with
occasional gifts for holiday celebra-
tions. The fortunes of Klingenberg,
which has about 100 Inhabitants are
founded upon Its deposits of clay, which
on account of its fire resisting prop
critics, is widely exported, particularly
to the United States.
The deposits are worked by the mu-
nicipality directly at an annual profit
of 100000 and every Klingenberger is
entitled to a position as miner. The
fortnightly pay day Is observed as a
holiday, without detriment to the reg
ular German holidays, on which an 4
extra payment of dollar to a dollar
and a quarter is made to every citizen
to enable him to celebrate properly.
To prevent the flooding OF this ideal
place of residence by Germans from all
parts of the empire, 1t has been found
necessary TO llInll TlSntS OF CltlzenSn1p.
No one is admitted without payment
of s425 to the municipal treasury. More
favorable terms are granted. however,
to men taking wives in the town.

moniously a few days earlier for q hunt

1t is reported that the crown prince is
