Warn Against Fake Radium Can
Ger Cures at the Science Ass n.

While the test itself has no medical
value, it affords simple but convincing
demonstration which cannot be ignored"
Warning against fake radium cancer
cures was voiced today by DR.. Carl l..
Atsborg, chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, in his address to the
Chemistry section of the association. He
said that because of the wonderful cures
effected by application to cancer of the
radium Gamma raise there has sprung
up host of imposters and quacks who
are foisting alleged cures upon the pub
lice under the Misrepresentation that
they contain radium.
"Since there are now less than two
grams of radium in the United States,
he added, land it is valued at $4,000 a
gram, these claims scarce are plausible"

Atlanta, Jan. 1.-Discovery of a test
whereby it is possible to ascertain
whether or not "a person has eaten con-
taminated food was today announced by
DR. Charles w. Stiles, United States pub
lie health service, in an address before
the Zoology section of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Science.
DR.. Stiles said he considered this dis
covery of more Importance than that
which revealed the hook worm as 1.-THE
germ of laziness."
This far" said DIR. stiles, "the direct
agency of the fly in the contamination
of food can be clearly demonstrated in
any community. Anywhere that the fly
exists this test can be applied to warn
the people against the insects menace.

Seizure at Calais.

SGiZuIS al SesldISs
Deputy Sheriff Silas b. Kelsey made
a big haul of stimulants at the freight
shed of the Eastern Steamship Cor
poration at Calais Tuesday afternoon
and the goods have been libelled ac-
cording to law. The stuff was ship
ped to the address of parties in Mill
town, n. B., and proved on examina-
ton to be whiskey, nine 10-gallon kegs
hidden in flour barrels, which display
ed on the heads in addition to the adj
dress of the alleged owner the words
for personal USE Sheriff Kelsey ev-
identity thought that party with the
capacity credited to the consignee
ought to be protected from himself, so
he took the liquor to the city building,
where it will remain until Jan. Il, on
which date the writ is returnable. The
liquor will afterwards be condemned
unless some person shows good cause
why it should be delivered to him.

from AZ to 80 cents per bushel with
no indication Of any marked rise in

a higher price is coming later in the

tatoas. Others are not of the same
mind and are disposing Of them at the
present time.

The Sixty-third Congress will 90
down in history as the Congress of
greatest achievement. Against the
stubborn opposition of great business
organizations and combinations of
wealth, with their shrewd agents on
every hand, many remedial laws
have been enacted, and advance steps
have been taken toward giving every
body square deal. The great tariff
wall, the stronghold of trusts, has
been preached; the banking and cur
rency laws have been revised so as
to break the strangle hold of the
money trust; public lands, natural re-
sources and water power have been
safeguarded for the use of the peo-
pie; the trusts have been curbed; and
commerce with foreign countries has
been encouraged al never before.
Does not this administration deserve
credit? Does not every Democratic
Congressman deserve the endorse
ment Of reelection? Answer this
question at the polls in November?

A Week of Storms and High
Water.

The past week has been one of
storms and high water in Bates coun-
ty and although weather prophets are
predicting fair weather the indications
as we 90 to opress point to more rain.
The Miami river has been out of
its banks twice within the past week
and the Marais des Cygnes has over
flowed considerable bottom land south
and east of Rich Hill. ~
A number Of buildings in various
sections of the county have been
struck by lightning and several small
bridges and culverts washed away.
While the drainage bitches have
been taking care of great quantity
of water, it is feared that few more
days of rain will put the upper Marais
des Cygnes out, and this would spell
disaster to thousands of acres of
grain.

That Great Britain intends to fully
equip her armies for the continuance
of the European war, is evident by
the fact that the Ithaca Gun Company
has been asked to submit a bid for the
immediate manufacture of 2OO,0 900
rifles for the use of the English troops.
The company has been notified that
owing to the pressure of work in
England in turning out firearms the
necessary supply cannot be produced
in time in that country. The guns
required are of the Lee-Metford,
Mauser or Ross pattern. To elimi-
nate possible neutrality problems re-
garding shipments, the delivery of
the guns would be acceptable at any
Canadian port. The shipment to be
made to Liverpool. /
