DANGERS OF RADluM.
Many Members Of Staff OF institute
Suffer from Burns.
The majority OF the members OF III,

The majority of the members of the
star of the Radium Institute in Lon
don are suffering from burns produced
by radium. according To the cores
pendent Of The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
"rhc assistant medical superintend-
ept, pr Arthur Burrows" he says,
states that most of the stan have
been burned To a greater or less extent
at some time or other. In his own case
he found the skin peelinI of his fingers
when ne went To play golf The nurses
however, who do the most of the actual
handling. suffer most. I'm addition to
the more or less painless skin peeling
the finger nails become brittle and
split down the center, liberated spots
appear. ana in time the hands become
totally anaesthetic. II is curious that
the hands OF those who have much to
du with radiurn are always far more
susceptible To heat than To cold. Gloves
are mo- much protection.
The only thing To do when the tin
gers show these symptoms is To have
nothing To do with radium until they
recover Those who develop burns are
usually gwen some work in connection
with the institute which does not i'm
volvo immediate contact with the elc-
ment. Radium in course of time burns
most things To which it comes in con-
tact. For instance, the lining of the
boxes i'm which it is kept is often en-
tirely eaten away. The i'll effects are
not felt i'm the human body until a
fortnight after the contact. 1t eats
away the abnormal tissues. such as
carcinoma, sarcoma, etc. and leaves
the surrounding normal tissues in an
ordinary condition
In its antipathy To abnormal tissues
lies its curative properties i'm these
cases. But in time, or as the result of
Excessive application, radium will
have an effect also on the normal it's
sues. \ subsidiary effect ON the pa
tient is increased susceptibility to
changes Of temperature over areas that
hay" been treated with radium Many
patients who have had rodent ulcers
and superficial skin LESSONS cured with
ladium experience great discomfort at
The site Of the old LESSONS when very
cold or very warm air plays on H. This
susceptibilitN, however gradually dis
appears i'm two or three months.
"a marked condition of lethargy is
frequently, it might almost he said in

prolonged exposures with large quanti-
ties of heavily screened radium. 1t

the fourth day of the treatment and

NO MORE SMALL POX

Is Believed to Be
Under Control

No new cases of small pox de-
yeloped the past week, and the Ely
public schools and the White Pine
county high school, will resume reg
ular sessions tomorrow. Children
will not be admitted as pupils, un-
less they can show a certificate of
vaccination from the family physi-
clan. The officials of Ely have been
alive to the Importance of taking
every precaution to check and stamp
out the disease, and their prompt
and decisive action has undoubtedly
prevented a general spread of the
dreaded ailment. The present cases
are all progressing favorably, and
none of the patients have been SER
iously ill.,
At the Indian camp the quar-
antine is being maintained with
strictness that has prevented even
an Indian dog getting outside the
lines, as the owners have been notifi-
ed that if the dogs are allowed to
roam at large, the animals will be
shot in the interests of public safety.
During the quarantine the Indians
are supplied with provisions at the
county expense.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY PUTS
CENSOR ON LOCAL
SUIT CLUBS
Gives Warning that
Violations Will Be
Prosecuted

District Attorney Billings ap-
parently takes the view that laws on
the statute books are to be enforced
regardless, and that gambling is
gambling, that a spade is a spade,
and a lottery is a lottery. Having
his attention called to the existence
of suit clubs conducted by some of
the local tailors, he has written let
ters to those concerned calling their
attention to the law against lotteries
and quoting the statute in full, that
there may be no Misunderstanding.
There is nothing heinously wrong in
suit club, and no one Is forced to
become a member The participant
goes into the game willing to take
chance of winning a good suit for
little or nothing, or paying the full
price. If he wins in an early draw
ing, he is in luck, and If he pays
the entire sum for which the suit was
marked he gets value received, as he
owns the suit.
But being game of chance
and a lottery, it is in violation of
the law by which the offender is
guilty of misdemeanor and the dis
trict attorney in his letter says:
"If you are engaged in such
enterprises either directly or in
directly, / trust that this notice will
be sufficient warning to you to de-
sist. If my attention is further call
ed to this matter it will be my duty
to enforce the law.
