RADIUM PAD APPLIED TO DEAD" OPTIC
NERVE RESTORES WOMAN'S SIGHT

rowed the radium pad four weeks
ago to try its efficacy upon woman
whose sight was apparently hopeless
ly gone. He told me that an opera
ton would be necessary to prevent
blood poisoning, but that the opera
ton inevitably would obliterate the
last vestige of a chance for sight.
B." L may as well try the radium.' he
concluded, and he did; and today
the woman is able TO see and is COM
pletely restored.
Il am not doctor and consequent
ly not allowed to make any general
use of the radium pad, except in
directly, through qualified physicians.
"One of the most remarkable cases
is that of a doctors sister who is af
nicted with cancer. One breast of
this unfortunate young woman had
to be cut away; but the disease had
already affected the other one when
the radium was applied.
Her brother tells me the ravages of
the disease have been checked and
that he believes she will be cured en-
tirely."
Mrs. Agan demonstrated the pow
erful effect of the radium by driving
away an acute toothache from which
the reporter had been suffering all
day. Within two minutes after APP
plying the radium the pain vanished
as did sympathetic neuralgia of the
head which had accompanied the
toothache.

Hunter Captures 'POssum
Family After Long Fight
and Fall from Tree

Badly scratched about the face and
hands and suffering from bruises
sustained in a fall of ten feet from
tree in the big Piece of woods
in Morris county, Weldon Earl Royd-
house is nursing his injuries at his
home on Cleveland street, Caldwell
Roydhouse is sore but happy. His
prowess as a hunter has been proven.
Yesterday Roydhouse was running
two dogs in the woods when the
hounds stopped at the foot of a big
oak tree and refused to be coaxed
away. The foliage of the tree still
was heavy enough to prevent Royd-
house from seeing what it was that
held the attention of the animals so
he climbed up to investigate.
At the very top of the tree he found
a mother 'possum with two kittens
His mouth began to water and he
continued the climb. But Mrs. Pos
sum had other ideas than those of
the hunter. She put up a game battle
for more than twenty minutes and
when she and her young finally had
been made prisoners. Roydhouse was
so weak that he slipped from one
of the lower limbs of the tree and
fell to the ground.
The 'possum family now Is safe at
the home of the hunter and it's head
lis being fattened for Sundays din
ner. The kittens will be kept for pets.

South Side High School
May Be Accepted by the
Education Board Today

The new South Side High School
will probably be accepted by the
building committee of the Board of
Education when it meets late this
afternoon. The members of the com
mittee made a final inspection of the
school yesterday afternoon and were
perfectly satisfied with the structure
it is said. The date for the opening of
the school has not been definitely de-
cided upon as yet.
Ernest +. Guilbert, supervising
architect to the board, said today
that the odor pipe running from the
kitchen in the building through the
assistant principals office, which was
objected to by Principal Thomas F.
Kennedy in communication ad-
dressed to the building committee
last week, had been remedied. The
pipe will run through the general
office instead of through the assist
ant principals office.
Mr.. Kennedy objected to the pipe
on the ground that 1t was insight
w." His communication to the COM
mittee was termed "discorteous" by
commissioner Ambrose Tompkins,
president of the committee, and the
entire matter was placed in the hands
of Mr.. Tomkins and President Charles
P. Taylor for action.
Just what action they will take in
the matter could not be learned this
morning.

his eyes bandaged with a radium pad,
a young man well known in theatrical
circles who suddenly became totally
blind two years ago is today con-
fldently awaiting the restoration of
his sight, although the greatest spe-
cialists of two continents have pro-
nounced the optic nerve dead and the
use of his eyes gone forever.
The radium from which he expects
this miracle was applied for the first
time last night. Within an hour after
the pad, containing an infinitesimal
speck of the priceless substance. had
been applied the young man exclaimed
that he experienced pain in the
eyes, something like the feeling caused
by galvanic shocks. 1t was the first
indication since he became blind that
there still was sensation latent in
the dead" optic nerve
Mrs. ID. H. Agan, the widow of a
noted New York physician, who has
many friends in this city, is the
owner of the radium. She brought it
from st. Joachimsthal Austria, six
weeks ago, and since that time has
scored several wonderful cures with
the mysterious substance.
To an Evening Star reporter Mrs:
Agan, who is stopping at the Hotel
Imperial in Manhattan, said:
