England Warns the Suffragettes.

After the raid on the militant suf-
fragette headquarters in London,
Tuesday, and the arrest of the women
connected with the movement, the
prosecutor for the government, Arch
ibald Bodkin, made fromal eXplana-
tion of that proceeding which he said
had been taken to end "a state Of
affairs which has become dangerous
to the civilized portion of the COM
munity in the British Isles" He
warned all aiders and abettors of the
militants that If any person makes
a speech in encouragement of this
cause, proceedings will be taken
against the speaker" also. If any
printer prints or circulates matter
from the women's union he would
be prosecuted. This last was aimed
at the weekly organ of the suffra-
.gettes, called the Suffragette, the
office Of which was raided and which
was suppressed. Mrs. Pankhurst was
barricaded in her house by militant
followers when the day came for her
to return to prison, but the author
tiles decided that she was not yet
well enough to undergo the inprison-
ment. Her ticket of leave was ex-
tended Indefinitely.

because of his contention that no

RADIUM IS FOUND
In AMERICAN ORE
Bureau Of Mines Discovers Big.
gest Part Of World Supply
Is From u. 5.

Washington, May 4.-The United
States Bureau Of Mines has made
the discovery that more than two
thirds of the radium supply OF the
world is being made in Europe from
American ores. shipped abroad thru
! the foresight OF foreign scientists.
Radium is purchasable at a price
equivalent to $2,250.000 an ounce,
and although 1t is shown the Unit
ed States has the greatest known
supply Of radium- bearing ores In
the world, not one gram has been
produced here.
1.-The United States to-day lie In
the humiliating position Of being
forced to purchase at extravagant
prices from abroad such radium as
it's hospitals and physicians can al
ford for experimental purposes, while
we have been supplying the ores from
which 1t Is made" said Charles L.
Parsons, chief of the division OF
mineral technology of the bureau.
what we could get in order to in
vestigate the wonderful properties Of
radium and their possible application
to the eradication of disease, and
have been greatly hampered in our
work by the almost prohibitive prices
at which the radium has been held.
Several months ago rumors reach
ed the Bureau Of Mines that In Colo
Hado there had been an increased
demand for carnotite, the radium-
carrying ore. and that this ore was
being shipped abroad in considerable
quantity. 1t was also reported that
xthe Europeans were insisting upon
'pnly the highest grades OF these
ores and that a great amount OF low
en- grade ores was practically being
wasted.
"R. H. Moore and X. l.. kithil, In
charge of the Denver (Colo.) labora'
tory of the bureau, were requested
to investigate, and they reached the
conclusion that while all the raf/in
placed upon the market In the las'
few years had been produced In Eu
rope, a large portion of this had com
from American ores.

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge OF
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, All Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years / suffered from
