MRS. c. L. HUBBARD
OF DALLAS
CURED OF CANCER
BY DIR. TOEL
BY Means of
ELECTRICITY

Mrs. C. L. Hubbard, of Dallas, con
suited Dr. Toel on June 7th, on ac-
count of a growth at the mouth OF
her womb, which a Portland physic-
ian had last year declared to be can
eerous and had advised her to have il
cut out.
Mrs. Hubbard however, knowing
| the uselessness of the knife in cancer
on account of the many returns after
cutting operations, could not persuade
herself to submit to the knife, and
put off an operation from day to
day.
In the meantime however, the pain
in the womb increased and finally
caused irritation of the spinal nerves,
so that she was suffering from severe
pain in the back and neck. In addi-
tion she began to suffer from severe
pain in both groins.
Reading so much about DR.. Toel s
bloodless electrical operations she f.
nally consulted him on June 9TH.
DR.. Toel confirmed the diagnosis
formerly made and advised the i'm
mediate removal of the cancer by
means of electricity, as this would
give far better results and not con-
fine her to the bed.
Mrs. Hubbard has not been laid up
from the operation but walked every
day for a month mile to the doctor s
office to be treated with electricity
for the pains in her back, neck and
groins, which began to get better
from the first treatment on.
She has now been entirely free
from pain for number of days, and
her womb having healed perfectly,
she was today discharged by the doc
tor as well.
An account of the operation on her
was published in the Dallas papers
right after the operation was per-
formed.
Today however, Mrs. Hubbard au-
thorized Dr. Toel to give an account
of her case in the papers, not only
from gratefulness to the doctor but
also to help other people that suffer
as she has done or have other trou-
bles that can far better be treated
with electricity than with the knife.

WelEguarded estate:
The old man drives his ball, and
a servant carries an umbrella over
him as he goes to the ball for the
next drive. Sometimes he will. ride
a bicycle to the next drive instead of
walking. A servant carries a bottle
of milk along from hole to hole, so
that John D. can take a swig if he
gets thirsty.
The other day a story was printed
about how his New York estate was
guarded by armed guards and how if
John D. got nervous during the night
he could. touch an electric button,
which would bring a response from
the guards to assure him they were
on the job and that all was well.
When old man Rockefeller goes
riding in an auto he likes to have a,
child or woman sitting alongside Of
him, so that if there. is any killing
going on it will be women and chill
dren first. 1 presume he thinks any
body who might feel inclined to kill
him would refrain if it meant also
killing a woman or child.
Anyhow, it seems that he is in con-
slant fear of being murdered.

SHOULD NOT ADD FALsEHooD TO rREAcHERY

Had Judge Ashle two years ago rendered public al
egance to the Progressive party and the Progressive
movement he would doubtless have retained the personal
respect of those who could not approve the wisdom
of his political choice.
Had he given public encouragement and support the
formation of the Progressive party and had he there
after publicly admitted that he believed he had made
mistake and publicly returned to the Republican party
he might have retained the personal respect of those

deserving after the party had failed to win the victory that
he at first expected
But by his in giving secret encouragement and
aid to the formation of the Progressive party while
tanning an outward loyalty to the old party followed

ered we fail to how he command the political
spect OF any voter of any party.
We have been rather surprised that few papers in
the state have seemed to anticipate denial of the
saon that Ashe visited James II. Gipson and solicited
and urged him to take up the work of organizing the
Progressive party before such organization had been
eced and before Mr. Gpson had consented to undertake
the task of effecting the organization.
Had Judge Aishie denied his participation in this
pec or had he denied that he urged Mr. Gpson
take such organization and become state chairman
of the party he would have added deliberate false
hood to his political reachery and would thus have lost

In Mildred's view of the thing Peggy

ITO think of Bettys mindng a little
thing like that" said every one, st
doesn't seem like her" Indeed, If we
had not seen the whole thing think
we could hardly have believed the re-
port of it, for Becky, in our minds, had
always been identified with fearless
ness.
Yet, after all, there was nothing
really strange about it. Becky is jt1t
a human being, not a personification of
fearlessness. Because she is naturally
brave, that does not mean that she does
not have the human capability of feel
l. ing fear.

mistak e-that is, to think of a person
as representing some quality and to
expect him to constantly display that
quality, to be consistently good or bad,
selfish or unselfish, brave or cowardly.
wise or foolish.
No human being is ever consistently
anything-not even inconsistent.
Consistency is the pne quality you
can make sure of not finding in any
one.
And yet we are expecting 1t and
marvelling when we do not find it.
We can scarcely believe that Mr.. A.
is the most generous and solcitous o.
sons. He had always typificd the thor
oughly Self centered man to us and
we do not understand this inconsist-
ency.
! And when Miss B., who has hither-
to seemed a personiflcation of discre-
tion falls in love and commits aston
ishing indiscretions, we feel as If she
had been magically changed by some
supernatural force.
I But she has not been changed. She
is simply showing another side of the
many sided character with which the
least complex of us is endowed. People
are never mere personifications of
some quality. That is the mistake that
the inferior novelist makes. He takes
an abstract quality such as selfohness
or unselflshness, gives 1t a face and
hands and calls 1t q man.

all kinds of qualities.
AS Tolstoi puts it.
"One of the most popular supersti-
lions consists in the belief that every
man is endowed with definite qualities
that some men are kind, some wick
ed; some WISE some foolish; some en-
ergetic, some apathetic, etc. This is
not true. We may say of q man that
he is oftener kind than wicked; oftener
wise than foolish, oftener energetic
than apathetic, and vice versa. But it
would not be true to say of one man
that he is always kind or WISE and of
another that he is always wicked CT
foolish. And yet we thus divide peo-
pie. This Is erroneous. Men are like
