$12o. 900 a gram and all Of it has been

Probably no medical discovery has
ever SO excited the nation as the re-

cures. Even despite the recent fail
ure of the much touted turtle serum
for tuberculosis, the public has been
ready and eager to believe, though
seeming miracles are related.
The United States not only needs
to save its public radium treasures
from private exploitation. Millions
are needed to set up plants where the
ores my be put through the $50 steps
necessary to eliminate the tremend-
ously tiny proportion OF the healing
salts. And, too, money is needed for
experimentation. Some of the best
processes for extracting the radium
are secrets, jealousy guarded. with.

But even If that remains the cost,
radium must be had. The mere fact
