RADIUM WATER IS AS COSTLY AS CHAMPAGNE

The patient who starts taking radium water usually has to con sume about one hundred dollars worth before it's benificial effects are preceived, says the Scientific American in summing up the lates. report of the Radium Institute of London.
 At this institute, where they prob ably have more radium than any, where else, and where the greatest physicians and surgeons in England are administering it, they use, be- sides the water, flat vanished "ap- plicators" of various shapes and in sizes ranging from or square centi- meters to 28 square centimeters. These are made in three strengths, from milligrams to 150 milligrams. They use also minute glass tubes filed with radium sulphate.
 The water, which seither drunk or injected, is prepared by bubbl- ing radium emanation through dis titled water, which is then slowly drawn off into bottles. The appar- atus at the institute is designed to give solutions with an activity from to millicuries per litre, an ac- tivity much greater than the best of the radioactive water from natural sources.
 "As a drink radium water would prove an expensive luxury, since a very moderate sized bottle costs two and a half dollars" continues the Scientific American.
 ''The present writer on being ask ed to sample the radium water, did so before learning it's cost, and after ward estimated that he had drunk about a dollor's worth.
 "Radium water has the flat taste one associates with distilled water taee Ter with a curious faint salty flavor, and it's effect, so far as the writer's experience goes, is to rend- CT one extremely sleepy for the rest of the day.
 "For these reasons alone it is not probable that radium water will ever rival John Collins or any similar preparation as a beverage, even for millionaires."

WE MAY WELL
 FOLLOW. EXAMPLE
WHY FRANCE IS THE BANKER
 OF THE WORLD

A sort of paradox is the fact that thousands of people who make no effort to make dollar when times are mighty prosperous will develope and practice economy when work and opportunity are less plen- tiful, writes H. H. Windsor in Pop pular Mechanics. The best way of course, is to try and save a little all the time, putting by a larger amount when earnings are at their height. As a nation we are not taught that economy which makes France the banker of the world, and whose accumulations come not from vast exports of natural resources, but from the combined small sa- wings, consistently continued year after year, by the French people as whole.
 If the people of this co mtr' would save during the year lli5 an average of S10 per capita, tie grand total at the end of ths frs, twelve months would be the n;ssr- nificient sum of one billion d,!;;,r..
 The French save, partly because it has become hereditary and chiefly because. the children are brought up taat way and are taught the dig ,lty of accumulation. We, on the contrary, in a spirit of false pride, are inclined t6 scorn the necessity of saving, as though it were some thing of which to be ashamed. If our present experiences shall tea oh us thrift it will be a strengthening of a great national weakness.

CLAIMS PRIORITY FOR HIS
 FORGERY-PROOF PEN

Dr. Dinshah P. Ghadiali of Sturat, India, now living at Hillsdale, N. J., sends to this maganize a copy of the Model Engineer of London, England, for Sept. 30, 1909, contain mg a description and illustration of an electric pen for writing checkes that will be forgery proof pen that is the same in it's es- sential features as that invented by J. W. Martin of Red Rock, Cal, to which the Technical World Mag azine awarded a first prize and which was described and illustrated on this page recently.
 As Dr. Gahadiali's pen won the doploma of merit and bronze medal at the Model Exhibition in London in 1909 and was patented in the United States in 1911 (Patent No 9S2, ,703), it would seem that he is right in claiming to be the original inventor.

quiries received during the vacation
period. Registrar Bieker believes that
the enrolment at Fort Hays Normal
on Tuesday, September IA, will be by
far the largest in the history of the
Institution.
The increase in the student body
of the. Fort Hays Normal has been
rapid in the last two years and it has
tripled within that time. In view of
this heavy and rapid increase the
state board of administration, Ed T .
Hackney, F. W. Hoch, and Mrs. Cora

of the Fort Hays Normal for next year
by the appointment of seven addition

MARkE REPORT

Kansas City stock Yards, August
81, 1915 Prime corn fed cattle are
scarce, and nothing strictly top notch
has been here this week. The cattle
supply was 5000 head today. follow
ing $4,000 yesJe rday, considerably
heavier than any previous week this
season, but the demand has kept
pace with the increase in the supply.
Prices on the best cattle are steady,
some heavy steers today at 80 so,
yearlings at so. Kansas pasture
steers are quoted steady today, pref
ty good steers selling at s7.65, TO s. 90
and not many above these figures,
some plain steers, 1850 to 1850 pounds
at s7.25 TO 81 so, one lot of grass
heifers $40. Stocker and feeder
trade is-strong and active, yearlings
up to 50. 35, feeders $50, although
most sales are at $685. to 800, few
cheap cattle around 1925. A Chicago
firm of stocker and feeder buyers.
who have big order buying trade
east of the Mississippi, has brought
its entire force here, opening yester-
day, and buying 1880 cattle the first
day. This firm handles more than
10000 cattle annually, and is a very
important addition to the buying
force here. In the quarantine divi~
sion ID cars arrived, and sold at
steady to weak prices. Some medium
fed steers brought $3.50, light grass
steers IS. y to So 65. grass cows S.. 40.
Hogs sold 5 lower. order BUYERS
paying $40 to s76O for a good many
hogs, packers paying So 90 to S7.45
for mixed hogs, $3.50 to S7.25 for
heavy hogs. Receipts today are 5000,
very light for Tuesday, and there is
no tendency toward material increase
in receipts of hogs at any of the
markets. At present the heavy de-
mand for fresh pork and smoked
meats is sufficient to Offset disap-
pointing export trade in large and
coarse meats. Local prices continue
considering above competing points
in the west, especially on heavy hogs.
Sheep and lambs sold strong today,
Utah lambs 50, feeding lambs IS. 10
to So. 25. Receipts we're 5000 head.
Eight cars of Nevada feeding year
Iings were included today, weighing

RoosEvELT's GREAT SERVICE
Telling the Truth Where Truth Is
Sorely Needed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago you permitted to ap-
pear on your editorial page a cartoon in
which Theodore Roosevelt was caricatured
with grotesque and meaningless misrepre-
sentation. day or two thereafter your
leading editorial asserts that the Colonel
tells the sober truth" defending the mes
sage, if not the manner, Of his Plattsburg
speech. The petty attack Of the cartoon, fol-
lowed Immediately by the candid and cours-
geous defence by the editorial, struck me as
revealing a serious weakness in The Trib-
.une's stand at a time when resolute firmness
is our country's desperate need.
The weakness lies in yielding to the easy
tendency of ridiculing our energetic ex-Presi-
dent, while his thorough sincerity and ser
vice for righteousness are recognized and
acknowledged. II The Tribune respects Mr..
Roosevet's patriotism and fearlessness when
indifference and timdity are our national re-
proach, not to say disgrace, then it belongs
70 The Tribune to honor Theodore Roosevelt
as the outstanding exponent of those quail
ties to which the ideals of William Jen-
nings Bryan stand as the antithesis, and of
tration reveals pitiful lack.
Very many people cannot account for Mr..
Roosevelt's outspoken denunciation OF what
he believes to be wrong. To say what one
means and TO mean what one says is so
foreign TO the public utterances Of so many
Of our public men that we have come to at
tribute great mentality to those in political
life who talk and write so that they cannot
be understood.
OF course, Mr.. Roosevelt's advocacy Of pre-
paredness has no more to do with precipi-
tating war than the personal development
of manly physique, muscular strength ard
athletic prowess has to do with designing
murder. Mr. Roosevelt's Presidency was dis
tinguished by the restoration OF peace
through his personal intervention when do
nestle strife and international warfare had
long prevailed, and never was the Nobel
peace prize more meritoriously bestowed
than upon this champion of right at any
price.
To earnestly desire peace is not to pre-
vent war. II war is a possibility, however
remote, it is criminal not to be ready for
the contingenc.' should it arrive. Every war
in which this nation has engaged in the
past has been a spectacle of unprepsred-
ness in which greater loss of precious life
was due 10 our own stupidity and neglect
than 10 the enemys valor.
Theodore Roosevelt is a patriot demand
ing the conservation Of his country's
strength for the time of need, which may
be imminent. He has devoted his entire
brilliant career 10 his country's service. Is
America so surfeited with disinterested pa
trotism that The Tribune can afford 10 at
tempt TO belittle Theodore Roosevelt!

As regards the publication of this letter,

wish you for some of your editorials against
Germany and the hyphenated German-Amer-
leans Is the punishment of reading your own
editorials about three years from now. Could
devise any fate more POLITICALLY just?
