COLORADO SPRINGS WOMAN
PRAISES RADIUM; CURED

COLORADO SPRINGS, March t.
Mrs. Katherine Rofinot, local
teacher who returned recently from
Baltimore, believes the radium treat
ment she underwent in DIR. Howard
Kelley's sanitarium there has cured
her of cancer. She was at the sani-
tarium one week, she said, and took
one treatment lasting several hours.
Mrs. Rofinot is enthusiastic.
"The radium treatment is marvel
GUS" she said, "and the sanitarium is
crowded. In the treatment, the rad
ium is supplies in lead tubes. The
size of the tubes varies from two
and one-half inches in length to one
half inch depending on the nature Of
the case. In my case about s25 mil
ligrams were used. Great care must
be used in determining the amount
of radium to be supplied, as it must
be just enough to kill the unhealthy
tissues. Sometimes it is necessary
to make incisions to apply the tubes
of radium."
The treatment lasts from two and
one-half to twenty-four hours.

SPRINGS MAN TELLS OF
IMPROVEMENTS IN CHINA

COLORADO SPRINGS, March T.
Tremendous steps are being taken in
China towards the prevention OF
floods and the promotion of agricul-
ture in formerly flooded districts, ac-
cording to Charles Davis Jameson
chief engineer of conservation work
in the celestial empire who is visiting
his son, Wylie Jameson, here. He is
en- route to Washington with plans
and estimates of the work still to be
done in China. He has been in China
for many years and in 1911 under
took the work of river conservation
under commission from the Ameri-
can Red Cross society. The society
had spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars in China, most of which was
|occasioned by the disastrous floods
which in turn caused famine. An
American corporation is now under
contract to the Chinese government
to relieve the condition.
'In those portions of Anhui and
Kiangsu, which lie north Of the Husi
river and the Hungtze lake and the
old bed of the Yellow river, south
of the province of Shantung and ex-
tending east and west from the sea
to the Ke river, is section of coun-
| try which has known little rest from
floods and subsequent famine for g.
500 years. This is part of China s
great alluvial plain.
"We have the history of this Sec
tion for at least 25 centuries and the
records give the years of flood and
famine. The floods have so increas-
ed in frequency and the resulting
famines inacuteness that now, over
the whole area under consideration
the farmers do not average over two
crops in five years. If the floods
were eliminated the normal conditions
would be two very large crops each
year. And this loss is an ever in
creasing one.
"We have a gigantic task ahead OF
us but we can win and the good that
will be done to thousands of suffer
ers in these flooded districts is ines.

TWO MEN, SAME NAME
RUN FOR SAME OFFICE

ST. PAUL, March WHATS in a
name? There are two men in st.
Paul who have been attempting for
the past two months to figure out
just what there is in their names.
They both bear exactly the same
names down to the very last letter,
and to the pronunciation. Their
name is August Hohenstein. One is
a grocer and the other is agent for
life insurance company. Both are old
residents Of st. Paul and both are to-
day in the running for the city coun-
Gil. Neither is willing to withdraw
in favor Of his namesake. -s.
Under the state law, the names
that appear on ballots cannot have
any designating mark. For instance,
August Hohenstein, the grover, could
not have mo. 1" placed after his
name to set him apart from the life
insurance agent of the same name.
Compromises, law suits. settlements
and grand jury indictments are
threatened by both Hohensteins to
force each other to withdraw but
neither will give in and the prospects
are that both names will go on the
ballot. The attorneys who are trying
to adjust the matter are on the verge
OF Mysteries. They don't even know
how they'll tell which one is elected.
