OF liquor or any other brand of liquor
ever do for me?e The more he
thought about the matter the more
puzzled he became. He recalled that
every morning as he went past Tom
helly,s saloon he stopped i'll and took
two drinks. He recalled also that he
usually had M or two drinks at noon
and from one to three drinks more
III the evening, according to the length
of time which he spent in Kelly's sa-
loon. This had been his habit for
more than ten years. The more he
thought about the whole proposition
h more he wondered whether, after
all. Budweiser or any other brand OF
beer or whisky OF Tom Kelly or n y
business, had really been "a friend OF
his" He was inclined to the CON
clusion that he had been more of a
friend to them than they had been to
him, and as he thought of his friend
ship for them, extending back for so
many years, he began to calculate
how much money he had spent at
Tom Kelly's saloon during the past
ten years.
He realized Immediately that the
average amount had been about forty
cents a day. This startled him. He
took a sheet of paper and a lead pen
Gil and began figuring. Forty cents
a day meant $3.50 a week. He Won
dered what such a sum as that would
amount to if it had been put into a
savings and loan association each
week for ten years. He knew that
most savings and loan associations
pay as much as five per cent semi
annually, and he calculated interest on
an investment of $3.50 per week, fgur-
ing on reinvesting the interest at the
end of every six months period. He
was amazed to find that $3.50 depos-
tied in a savings association each
week at five per CEN interest, payable
semi-annually, with the interest for
each six months reinvested at the
same rate, would amount to $I,S5o.22
in ten years.
In other words, he found that in
ten years time he had handed over
to Tom Kelly S I,85o.22 and that he
had received practically nothing Of
value in return. Tom Kelly, in the
meantime, had grown rich, while Bill
and his family lived in the same old
rented house and were as poor as
when they moved there ten years be-
fore.

TO SAVE THE RADIuM
The House Mines Committee Begin q
Hearing ON the Subject.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The house
mines committee today began hearings
regarding radium and the economic
questions involved in proposed legisla-
ton for Withdrawing from settlement
public lands containing radium pro-
ducing ore. Advocates and opponents
Of the Foster bill. prepared with the
approval Of the interior department,
were equally ready to give their views,
and Chairman Foster Of the committee
expects that legislation along the lines
Of his bill will be expedited through
congress.
DR.. Howard A. Kelly Of Baltimore
testified Us to the necessity OF tmme-
diate action from the standpoint Of
the medical profession. -
Opposition. to, the bill in its present
form is from the Colorado delegation
in congerss who have conferred with
Secretary Lane in an effort to bring
about q satisfactory compromise and
from those interested in the mining Of
the radium producing ores and their
expectation. J. M. Flannery Of Pitts
bur, interested in the Colorado mines,
heads q deputation in opposition. The
Colorado delegation agrees with the
advocates Of legislation that 1t Is
necessary to prevent q monopoly OF
radium producing territory and that q
ban on expectation might be wise.
Plans for the hearing have attracted
considerable attention, particularly
because Of the expectation Of discus
sion Of medical authorities regarding
the possibilities of radium as q cure
for cancer.
