CONGRESS ASKED TO PRESERVE
| PRINCIPAL SOURCE OF: RADIUN
Secretary Lane Appeals Legislators to Stop Precious Deposits
of Carnote Ore From Being Shipped Abroad for Foreign
Use-Cornnlody Will Cure Cancer--Many Deposits :
Still Property of the United States

Of this. Human life is not to be meas
ured in dollars.
The man who has brought US to our
senses on. radium more than any other
one person is Dr. Howard A. Kelly,
the celebrated Baltimore surgeon. 20
him, after Mime. Curie, the w7zaan
discoverer. is due the credit for the
marvellous cures by radium.
For ten years Dr. Kelly has been
carefully experimenting on radiim.
For ten years he and his associates
have carefully refrained from public
futterance' of a nsational nature. But
now he its convinced of the power Of
radium in, disease.
It is to save patients by the thou
sand, where he is able to save them
singly in his private hospital at Bal
timore, that has now come forward.
. Hes,has already interested many
wealthy men, especially Alfred |. Du
Pont of Wilmington. Del. The latter
has promised TO cooperate with Dir.
Kelly to combat. the disease which
kills 100000 persons every year, $4,000
in the United States, and $500 in New
York, state alone
This wonderful remedy is in danger
of being gobbled up by trust. Its
price has already been raised by
monopoly methods.

been the province of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.

trade clearance house, today pointed out
that the mission of the chamber is Ito
bring the federal government and bust
ness into cooperative touch on subjects
affecting the financial, commercial. civic

to render valuable service to business

markets that were required for the ex-

CHAPEL FOR MAMMALIAN.

The organization plans to appeal to the
enfranchised women throughout the
world to pledge themselves to use
their political influence against war. A
similar appeal will be made to all
women organized to secure the ballot
in the United States and abroad.
Plan of the Organization.
The idea of the organization will be
different from that of the peace So
cieties of the past, in that the futility
of armed peace will be recognized. The
many suffragists in the parade have
laid emphasis on the fact that women
in order to make their opposition to
war efsctive must have political pow
en- Il - believed that many women
who have not heretofore been suffra-
gists will become SO because of the
war.
The cooperation of other groups of
women will of course be asked. The
Woman's Trade Union League, with a
membership of 10000, has issued a call
for a mass meeting in Chicago Sep

ropean war. The Woman's Trade Union
League as well as the International
