something shipped to him from Chicago as "radium water' for use in the treatment of his wife, who was suffering from cancer. He also stated that she grew worse immediately after this treatment was begun, and that her death, a few months later, he attributed as being directly hastened by the use of the so- called beneficial radium water.
 So while there is without doubt great hope for the hundreds of cancer sufferers in the words of cheer sent out by the reputable physicians in the country's lead ing hospitals regarding the won- derful progress being made against the disease through ra- dium, yet it would be wise to wait awhile before rushing mad ly to secure anything called Ira dium" or to accept promiscuous- iy so-called ''radium" treatment.

who had held the respect and confidence of the people of the village to marked degree, and when the road sent other agents to take his place in each instance the populace refused to give board and lodging to the new a. gent. The last one remained in the office two days, and left, leaving 15 cents in the drawer with a note saying, q can't get grub here, and unless eat, I can't work" Then the auditor and cashier went down to check him out and when they went to the only hostlery in town for dinner, they were politely told they could get nothing to eat. After subsisting oncanned goods for a couple of days they left, and at last accounts the station at Hickory Ridge is without an agent or operator, and the citi- zens declare unless the old a. gent is installed there will nev- CT be another agent in that burg.

Women In The Courts.

Women are instinctively more reverent than men; they are more religious and more devoted to their churchly duties. This does not apply to all men, for some share on equal footing their religious responsibility with women, but as a rule the average man is so absorbed in worldly matters that he confines his church duties to Sunday. A notable instance of how the Holy spirit affects women in all that she does is shown in re- cent jury case reported in Kan sas.
 A jury of women had been se- lected and sworn to hear a rath- CT important case. None of the jury had ever served before and l the 12 were somewhat disturbed. They all wished to do what was right and to give a just verdict, but they were confronted with many difficult problems. The testimony had been conflicting, the evidence confusing and the charge of the judge anything but lucid.
 Having been retired to the jury room, the gravity of the situa- tion was impressed upon the minds of each and before any action was taken one of the jury proposed that they kneel and ask Divine guidance. The suggestion brought immediate relief. They knelt and directed a prayer to the Great Judge on high and asked 
 that He direct the jury in it's de- Alterations and bring them to just and fair verdict. The first ballot taken showed that the 12 stood as one. Confi- dent that Divine power had in- spired the verdict, they returned to the courtroom with clear con- sciences and with a confidence gained only through the power of prayer. The verdict was a most satisfactory one.

The Radium Cure.

i Now that the press all over the country is carrying news stories daily regarding the wonderful things being done for cancer sufferers by the new treatment with radium, a word of warning is not amiss.
 While newspapers endeavor to be most careful regarding bene- fits derived from new "cure-alls'' and remedies, the press cannot control impressions the ordinary report or story will create in the readers mind. Radium, no doubt, can work wonders in the arresting of the dread disease, but radium, like everything else used in medicine today, must be properly administered. Also, like anything else said to be use full in any way today, radium, has many substitutes, heralded either as "radium' or just as good"
 About two years ago, in Col umbus, Ohio, Dr. Early, one of the original experimentors with the X-ray, died as the result of a slow cancer. He was treated for some time there in a hospital with "radium water" At the time, physicians were reticent regarding it's effect, and one of the Columbus papers, taking the statement of a hospital attend ant, published a story saying that Dr. Early was improving.
 After Dr. Early's death cit izen of Columbus made an agon- ized appeal to another Columbus paper for justice. He said that reading of the alleged improve ment being made by physicians in Early's case, that he had paid at the rate of $5 a bottle for

Trouble At Hickory Ridge.

Recently the Cotton Belt rail- road has been having trouble with the Telegraph Operators Union, and so far has it advanc- ed that the operators charge that some members of the union have been discharged from the service because they are mem- bers of the union.
 Whether this is true or not outsiders do not know, the off, cials claim they do not want their operators to be members of the union, but they deny that they have used this as grounds for discharging any operators. However, several operators have been discharged and others have quit, and there is nc immediate settlement of the trouble in sight.

ing bribery of jurymen would be abolished in our great cities ii such women as these were drawn on the panel of various juries :? How much of graft would there be in the letting of public con- tracts, in the purchase of public supplies, in the granting of fran chises and in all the functions of our municipal administrations if praying women had something to say?
 How long would white slavery endure under police protection if decent women had a voice in the management of the police de- partments of our country?
 Women as jurors may at times be moved by emotion and may al- tow their personal feelings to dominate, but this is also true of men, and so far the woman jur- or of the west has excellently ac- quilted herself, her judgment h. sually being sane and sure and based on the truth in the case. Good women are bound to make good jurors.-Memphis Con- mercial Appeal.
