DUKET PHTHISIS
CURE A FAILURE
Report of J. o. Cobb, in the
United States Health Ser
vice, Made Public.
NO WARRANT FOR CLAIMS
Asserts Physician Reported Cases OF
Temporary Improvement In
Glowing Terms.

Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE
failure of the so-called Duket con-
sumption cure is predicted, and the
claims for. it are declared wholly I'M
justiiable, in the report made by ]. o.
Cobb, surgeon in the United States
public health service, stationed at
Chicago, to the surgeon general Of
that service, under date of May 16,
1913, which, with other correspondence
on the subject, was made public yes
terday under instructions from Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo.
The Duket cure has been champion
ed by William Lorimer Surgeon Cobb
in his report says: "a specific cure
must be brought about in certain defln-
tie ways, and the term is ordinarily
accepted to mean the rapid cure OF
disease by means of unusual and extra
ordinary medicaments introduced into
the body in contradistinction to those
cases, like typhoid fever, that will
nearly always recover by their own
self-limitations. Anti-diphtheritic GER
UNI is an example of a specific cure.
CITES CASES OF DEATH.
Therefore to comply with the gen.
eral acceptation of the term it is only
fair to assume that the Duket treat
ment will effect a cure in a compare
lively short time and that the cure
will be easily demonstrable to every
one, the layman as we'll as the doctor,
and to the patient himself. We cannot
accept the well known temporary i'm
rrovemeIts where the cough and 5pu-
tum disappear for weeks and months
at time and call them cures. DR..
Duket has always reported such cases
under the most glowing colors, and the
death certificates of several of them
stand as the accusing finger for over
hasty action, to say the very least.
The advanced cases in Grace hos

some of them may eventually recov.

CALLS CLAIMS NTED.
81 believe the claims for the alleged
Duket consumption cure to be wholly
unJustifable, and because of the I'M
warranted advertising and publicity
given to the alleged cure and because
of the secrecy of the treatment and

NO BIDDERS FOR NEWARK,
 CRUISER COSTING $1 PAS, ,ooo
Old Warship, Without Guns, Appeals to Nobody as Purchase Proposition.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The govern ment is having a hard time trying to sell the old cruiser Newark. which re- gently was advertised for sale to the highest bidder. Although the Newark cost $1,248,000 A years ago. and was regarded as a likely ship in times not so far back, not a single bid has been received for her. It is estimated by naval constructors that there is fully $25,000 worth of copper and compost tiOn metal on her.
 Navy officers know well enough why it is that such a ship does not bring a fair price, and say that the trouble is that the proceeds of the sale are to be turned into the treasury. If the funds could be held and applied to the cost of new ships a better way of sell ing would be devised quickly For in stance, if the rifles that were taken off the Newark and virtually thrown away never to be used again on any ship were put back on board the Newark she might be snapped up at $150, 900 or whereabouts in a short time by some country so far from the United States that the sale would be Justified from every point of view
 Part of the trouble in selling the Newark is that her protective deck is an obstacle to fitting her for commer- cial uses. and she is worth more for a warship than for anything else.

Last Chance to See Quo Vadis, the Wonderful Three Reel Feature Pro- duction.

Quo Vadis, the feature photoplay now being shown at thIs popular the- ater, is positively one of the greatest Biblical subjects seen in a long time. Ii is three thousand feet and tells of the persecution of the early Christians from the crucifxion of Christ to the death of Nero Every scene is enact ed and staged with historical correct ness, and nothing has been omitted that this picture would be complete historical record of those days when to be a Christian meant instant death and horrible torture The scene show ing the burning of Rome is a wonder full spectacle seldom seen in moving pictures In addition to this feature is a two reel Broncho headliner, A War Time Mothers Sacrifice, a beautiful story of a mothers love for her boy. Many daring feats of horsemanship and thrilling war scenes are seen in this picture The other photopIays are Proposal by Proxy, a Thanhouser com- edy drama which tells of the trials of basfful young man and the differ ent ways he tried to propose to his lady love; Cohen's Outing, a Keystone comedy, full of amusing situations that keep everyone in good humor. Manager Craig is singing another old time ballad, The Old Rustic Bridge by the NH, one of those songs everyone likes to hear
