or 101 patients with the slow-grow-
ing, benign form of cancer of the
skin, thirty-one were apparently
cured, forty-one were improved and
twelve did not improve. In cancer
of the rest of the body. fifteen cases
were apparently cured, 1856 improved,
and forty-five which did not improve.
At the Vienna Radium Institute, or
thtrty-four patients treated for all
forms of cancer, six died during the
treatment. eleven were essentially
improved, six were slightly i'm
proved and three were made worse.
At the Samaritan Hospital in Held
elberg, improvement was produced
in about half of the cases, but no
patient was cured.
The establishment OF the fact that
we have in radio-activity an agent
which will even specifically affect
cancer is of very great Importance.
No other agent has been discovered
which in any degree approaches its
effectiveness. But from the evidence
at hand, it is clear that at present
radtum may only supplement but not
replace, surgical treatment.

Hot Wnnthnr nint

Much irritability of the human
race is caused by ovsrindulgence in
unbalanced meals composed of badly
cooked foods, according to Woman's
World for July.
The modern, thrifty housewife
plans her meals so as to secure the
best diet for her family. During the
hot months, heat-producing foods
fats, starches, heavy buildings and
pies and fried things should not be
eaten, but rather those which are
easily dtgested and cooling to the
blood.
The business in which the bread
winner of the family is engaged
must be considered when planning
the meals. The man or woman lead
ing sodentary life requires foods
easy of digestion and assimilation.
This class of people does not re-
Quire as much food as that engaged
in muscular labor. The latter class
needs heavier meals, but these
should be less burdensome than in
winter.
For both classes too much cannot
be said about masticating ones food.
The teeth were made for this pur-
pose and many ills would disappear
II food was not bolted into the stom-
,ach, which is too often overtaxed.
Salads rich with mayonnaise or
boiled dressing should never appear
at dinner, but be reserved for lunch
icon or supper. Green or fresh vege-
table salads with a simple oil and
vinegar dressing are the proper
thing for dinner at all seasons. Po-
tatoes can be eliminated from the
menu some days and in their place
substituted macaroni, rice, hominy,
beans, peas and other starchy vege-
tables.

Porto Ricnn Coffee.

We Americans, in this luxury low
ing age, have come to look upon what
We're formerly considered luxuries
as common necessities and no longer
give thought as TO where those
things come from, so long as our de-
sires are satisfied. This is especially
true of coffee, found alike in the
home of the poor and the rich, the
stimulaut which spurs us up after a
hard days work or tones down the
digestive organs after a hearty din
ner. We have come to look upon
the berry as product Of the Orient
and few of us consider that under
our own flag, in country which is
now part of the United States,
CPorto Rico), is grown berry which
has a reputation Hor surprising ex.
cellence in the old world countries.
Strange to say, the coffee of Porto
Rico, like most other good things OF
the island, is better known in almost
any other market of the world than
in the United States, the country to
which this beautiful isle of the sea
has belonged ever since its accession
from Spain. Previous to that time,

family consumption. Americans,
however. when they recognize n
good thing are willing to pay the
price FOR 1t. and it seems to be simply
a lack of knowledge about this prod
net that denies them coffee raised in
its own country its legitimate
home market.
Coffee is not grown in Porto Rico
in such large quantities as in many
other countries. and the tobbers,
looking for cheap article to sell at
large profit, do not exploit the island
product as they do the larger con-
signments from countries like Brazil,

Virtue of GentIeness.

One of the fruits of the spirit is
gentleness, says the Ohio State
Journal. Do not think it is an in
dolent virtue, having neither intlu-
ence nor power. 1t has an opposite
quality. The mild power has an
easy way.
Select from ones acquaintances a
person of benign and tranquil de-
imeanor and you feel at once he has
an influence over you. You like to
be with him. You incline to listen
to him. If, however, he is loud OF
tone and violent OF manner, you are
with him as little as possible. Why?
Because his temper is animal. 1t
does not touch single melody in
ones nature. He is harsh and dis
cordant. That is not one of the
fruits of the spirit which the apostle
commends. 1t is one of the works
of the flesh which the apostle con-
dennis, such as envyings, wrath,
strife, etc.
There is not one of the proscrip-
tons of the Scriptures that gentle
ness practices. 1t belongs to the
spirit, the divine spirit, which ban
ishes loudness and vociferation from
its daily life. 1t may be counter
feited, but that is because 1t is OF
great worth. One of the best signs
of a mans religion is the tone OF
mis- mind. If that is eruptive and
volcanic he wanders from the true
path

Radium md Cancer.

The radium treatment of cancer
has aroused public discussion only
equalled in sensationalism by the
popular furore over the friedman
treatment for tuberculosis. That
this subject has some value in the
treatment of cancer cannot be de-
MED, but unfortunately the public
has gotten an exaggerated impress
sion Of its effects and radium has
been hailed as the long-waited spe-
cifc cure for malignant disease. In
the belief that statement of results
would be useful, the American Soci-
ETY. for the Control of Cancer recent
ly asked DR.. II. H. Janeway, of New
York, to prepare an article on this
subject which has just been pub
published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
DR.. Janeway discusses the results
with radium at the four principal
institutions in Europe where it has
been employed under the most IA
vorable conditions, viz, Paris, Lon
don, Vienna and Heidelburg. The
reports from each of these European
institutes justify the statement that
radlum everts a selective and de-
structive action on the majority or
cancers, but that this action never
reaches to the more distant extern
sfons of the deeper and more serious
forms of the disease. In fact there
Ia good ground for belief that I'M
less the greatest care is used in the
application of radium the more dis
tant portions of the cancer will be
stimulated to more active growth.
ALI users of radium emphaticalIy eX-
press the belief that no operable
cancers except those of the skin
should be treated by radium in pref
erence to operation. The true po-
aitton of radium at present is that
1t does not cure the disease unless
the cancer is superficial or is of a
variety particularly susceptible to
Its influence.
For the last nine years Dr. Wick
ham, Of Paris, has treated 1000 can
Ger patients at the Labratoire bio
logiuque du radium, and has found
that while the influence of radium
on all types of cancer is favorable,
its effects do not extend to the linn
its of the disease in any but the
most superficial varieties. The
Radium Institute Of London treated
467 cases during 1912. No patient
has been classified as cured. since
cancer is not regarded as cured UNI
til at least three years have elapsed
without recurrence of the disease.

Rican coffee recognize It's peculiarly
superior qualities, and demand it at
any price. These qualities are not
due so much to the cultivation as to
the soil and climate. In coffee, as in
many other articles. men have at
tempted to remove the properties
recognized as harmful. This in cor
fec is termed caffein, but when this
elimination has taken place by
mechanical processes the delightful
flavor. and aroma of the coffee has
been marred Nature, however, is a
far greater mechanic and magician
than man, and by an omission OF
alkoloids from the soil, she turns
out coffee weak in caffein but re-
tanning all the other properties
which serve TO make it true nectar
because Of its delicacy and aroma.
This is what scientists claim for the
coffee Of Porto Rico, and with the
backing of most eminent scientists
and the recommendation given it by
the demand made for it by foreign
countries, it would seem advisable
for Americans to become acquainted
with their own product and an effort
should be made to present its claims
to the home consumer.
The National Coffee Growers Asso-
citation of Porto Rico has recently
started propaganda to introduce
this coffee into American homes,
being sure that when its superior
merits are recognized, the United
States Will no longer allow foreign
markets monoDoly on an article
which is superior to that which we
buy from foreign countries for home
consumption.

Home, Sweet Home!" was
being sung for the first times
Just ninety-one years ago. The
song came from the operate
stage. Its author, John Howard
Payne, posed as a dramatic
critic in New York when he
was only IA years Of age; be-
fore maturity he was successful
on the stage; then came twenty
years of varying success abroad
as actor, manager and play
wright. Pressed for funds, he
sold the opera "Clari" for $3.50.
In this was Home, Sweet
Home" Payne had written IT,
recalling his early cottage home
at East Hampton. n. Y. The
opera had a phenomenal run and
the song brought fortune to
its publishers. Payne never re-
ceived another cent for it. He
later became United States CON
suit at Tunis where he died.

NOW

Today is the 12sFd anniversary
Of John Howard Payne's birth.
His song is known throughout
the English-speaking world and
It rises above all else, including
the sixty plays and operas which
Payne wrote, as a monument to
his memory. Surviving the in
roads OF rag-time, the ballad is
as popular 40 ever for knitting
home ties. It is said to have had
more universal circulation than
any song ever written. Payne's
body, originally buried at Tunis,
was disinterred after many
years and brought to the
United States for re-inter-
ment in Oak Hill cemetery
at Washington, in 1888. The
remains were placed beneath
an appropriate monument which
was unveiled while a great
chorus sang Home, Sweet
Home"
