played, also OH Il g simple chances, a
modification of the famous method Of
D'Alembert, the great mathematician.
Wells began with stake of ten units,
decreasing to nine II he won, but In
creasing to eleven II he lost. His game
was a kind of swinging OF the pen
dulum, going up one way to twenty
units and the other down to one.
For time he contriyed to prosper so
sensationally that the tables at which
he played had occasionally TO stop for
few minutes until more money was
brought. This was breaking the
bank" and gained Wells the honor OF
becoming the hero of a popular music
hall song.
Nowadays, however, no successful
player can have the thrilling Joy Of
breaking the bank. AS soon as it Is

Light and enlightenment 60 hand in hand-they
are both products Of one another.
Civilization produces better means of lighting and
better lighting produces better civilization.
Civilization can be almost accurately measured by
the amount and quality Of light.
fairly good steady light has only been available
for about so years and in those so years the world has
progressed more than for thousand years before.
In the Dark Ages ages that lacked all kinds of
lieht-ilteracy almost universal and so was misery
and squalor and bad government-the common people
worked all day-they could learn for lack OF light
at night general knowledge which means civiza
ton did not exist in thoS DAYS nor did good light.
good light adds just elough hours to day to
enable one, during those few hours to progress and to
draw ahead-wthout those few evening hours OF mental
activity, made possible by good light civilization would
be handicapped and progress halted
Good light cheerful, steady ample, bright, will
help us grow mind and heart.
The BEST LIGHT is the--but what's the use
Everybody knows which is the best light

a phrase in everyday use and Of very
ancient English origin. During si1

While it is an undoubted fact that
German medical authorities are grow

their treatment Of cancer, 1t 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 il
the early stages of the disease is sR
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
