have been laid, has with his
partner. C. Collins opened a bust
ness Office at 923 18th street,
where they are displaying and
demonstrating his machine and
also taking orders for work to be

to be great possibilities for this
clever inventor in the field he

patented makes it possible for
contractors to do a much better

much less effort and expense.
Many times the price of the ma

When Nine. Curie, together with
her husband, discovered radium, an
element possessing the property of
giving of luminous actenic rays ac-
companied by heat without apparent
loss OF energy or weight, they little
dreamed that IL would become one of
the greatest aids in cure of cancer.
So thoroughly convinced have inves-

wonderful curative powers in cancer
cases that Secretary of the Interior
Lane favors the withdrawal from

Congress is expected to pass a law
providing for such withdrawal at the

that radium is one OF the best cura-
