There is doubt cast by a proml-
nent physician upon the recent an
nouncement that radlum is a cure for
cancer. He says radium does dis
integrate and dissolve the cancer
itself, but some yet unknown SUD-
stance results from this process
which becomes absorbed by the
blood and kills the patient. In 9th
err words, the victim Is cured OF
cancer and dies Of something else,
which recalls the familiar statement
in connection with surgical treatment
that ''the operation was a perfect
success. but the patient died.

A
PRACTICE.
RAasoad Company Appeals to Mis-
sissippi Farmers IN the Interest Of
IFS Patrons and Employees.

The killing of live stock, while
tres passing upon the wayIands
of American railroads, has for
years been gradually increasing.
and more lately to an alarming
extent, resulting in an unneces-
sary waste and another contribu-
ton to the high cost of living. In
Mississippi, the situation is es-
peciaily bad, as evidenced by the
fact that, on the waylands of the
Illinois Central and Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroads alone.
more than six thousand head of
stock, or 20 per cent Of the total
for the system, are annually kill
led, this while but IS per cent of
our total mileage - operated in
your State. Claims paid on this
account have increased tG a point
where the resulting expense now
amounts to a tremendous annual
drain upon our gross revenues
and, as with the fake damage
suit industry and other evils from
which we have suffered, it is one
of those charges which, in the
last analysis. affects materially
the pocket books OF the people
themselves.
We have gone to considerable
expense, in the way of fencing,
constructing cattle guards, etc,
in an endeavor to overcome the
present situation, but despite ev-
~ effort it has grown entirely be-
youd our direction and control.
1t is one of those troubles requir-
ing the attention of our farmer
neiehbors to correct, and in the
interest of our patrons and en-
ployes, whose safety is menaced
by this grave danger, we appeal
for your cooperation and sup
port.
II is n well known fact that
trains are frequently derailed by
striking an otherwise harmless
COW, aud conditions are now so
bad that 4 trainman in Mississip-
pi-your own people largely
must perform their duties under
a great strain.
We appeal to you, therefore, to
discontinue permitting your cat
tie TO roam at large and to see to
il that private gates, opening on
our wsylands, are kept closed =.
There already is a law f~orbidding
this practice, bnt we are loath TO
invoke il, preferring to acquaint
the good people of Mississippi
with the extreme urgency of the
matter, feeling that your usual
fairnnss and regard for the rights
and the welfare of others will
prompt the immediate adoption
of necessary corrective measures
In common with other railroads
We have for some time been wag-
ing an active campaign in the in
rerest of "Safety First and
good results have so far attended
our efforts. The matter of stock
trespass, however, is almost en-
tlreiy within your control.
Won't you please, therefore,
unite in assisting US to better a
very bad condition?
