sanitarium, where he had been un-
dergoing radium treatment since De-
cember. He had been suffering from
the disease for four years.
Mr.. Bremner came to a. sanitarium
here to try the raGium treatment after
physicians in this country and Europe
had vainly tried to cure him. II was
found that the disc ase had made such
inroads that the fight against death
would be made with all the odds
against Bremner. He was optimistic,
however, and tubes containing $780,
600 worth of radium were applied to
the growth. For a time the patient
seemed to improve and members Of
his family frequently expressed the
belief that he would recover. They
cluIB 10 tnlS nope until Il lew days
ago, when he was seized with a sink
ing spell. From that time on Mr..
Bremner grew steadily weaker, al
though he several times rallied in a
surprising manner aided by his strong
vitality and powerful will.
In his last days Of suffering Mr.
Bremner still fought on and insisted
that he would get we'll. He declared
that he wanted to go back to con-
gress to fight for bill to have a gov
ernment owned radium institute SO
that this mineral could be at the dig
posal Of the rich and poor alike.
Mr.. Bremner was a warm personal
friend Of President Wilson, who was
kept constantly advised of his condi-
ton and who frequently sent him mes
sages of sympathy and encourage
ment Mr.. Bremner's election to con.
gress was accomplished while he lay
in bed ill., He did not make a speech.

With the Juror which Dame Fashion
has aroused for silks there appears 10
be dissatisfaction with some that the
fabric is used so extensively for dress.
es intended for practical uses. 1t is
contended that when silk is worn by
business women when in the store or
office. or when ii is thrown en- care:
lessly by the housewife when she goes
on shopping expedition it detracts
from the appearance of the fabric, and
as so much silk is seen where a prae;
teal dress is supposed to be more in
keeping with the purpose for which it
is used, that 1t makes all silk so com.
mon that il cannot be luxurious when
really dressy gown is desired.
Silk may seem to the business wo-
man to be a practical material. Many
makes of it are waterproof. it sheds
dust well, and threads or lint do not
stick to il; but the question arises,
When we wear silk at the desk. what
are we to wear when we want to dress
for evening? That really seemsAto be
the logical time to wear silk, but. il
