A SERUM CURE FOR CANCER ?
Radium Too Severe and Not Sufii-
cscntiy Tur-Reaching.
columbia Record.)


If there is one thing that human
ity longs Tor, next to cure for the
fever of war in nations, it is cure
for cancer in suffering man. There
seems to be no cure, except by the
knife, and then only when taken in
time to get all Of the roots of the
tumor taken from the body.
For four years we have watched
with interest experiments made with
radium. This wonderful discovery
of Madam Curee did have the power
to destroy the main pulp of the can
Ger where the rays reached into the
poison, but the projecting roots car
ried their germs as before. The ra-
dunn treatment was a fearful inflic-
tion upon sufferer.
Just within few days has come
an announcement that serum for
the cure Of cancer had been discov-
cred at the General Memorial Hos
pital in New York We believe the
announcement is premature and that
resulting hopes Of some may not be
justified. dispatch states:
1T is claimed that the cancerous
growths break down, disntegrate
and disappear. A typical case is de-
scribed as that Of a patient suffering
from an extensive cancer Of the
tongue. The tumor mass, it is said
has disintegrated and the patient
seems to be cured. 1t is stated that
all or nearly all Of the cases in which
the new serum has been used were
OF the kind called inOperable and
that the knife, the N-ray, radium
and other serums had failed to ef-
feet more than Temporary relief or
improvement. 1t is said that some
Of the patients treated with the new
serum have exhibited no signs Of
malignaCy for many months. 1t is
stated that the physicians at the
General Memorial Hospital believe
that the results already attained
with the new serum are such as to
warrant the confident belief that it
will be Of the utmost permanent
Nalue."
What a gOdscMd to humanity this
would be, but we fear that it is not
to be credited. The rejoicingS have
been premature, for Dean Polk OF
the Cornell University Medical Col
lege, has declared that the published
statements were unauthorized. This
is not yet a denial, but we fear it
is the precursor Of one

Company l, Second Infantry, Of the Arkansas State militia, stationed at Mena probably will be mustered ont and new company will be organized at Atkins to replace it, the change being a result of the failure of the Mena company to make arrangements to attend the 10-day rife and drill practice. The Mena Company, to- gether with companies from Ola, Oar danelle and Magazine, has been or dered to Fort Logan H. Roots. Word received at the adjutant generals of flee, however, is to the effect that the Mena company will not respond.
 No official announcement has been made of the probable mastering out of the Mena company, but unofficialls 1t is said that that will result from the company's failure to respond to the order. Atkins wants the company's headquarters transferred to that town and it's forces reorganized, to be com posed of residents of Atkins and that vicinity.

Suit will be filed in Lincoln Counts to block the plans of the Linn-Auburn levee district to construct levee through the center of the state convict larm at Cummins if the levee board persists in carrying out it's intentions, said Capt John T. Burkett of the pen itentiary commission.

 The levee board has advertised that 1t will let bids for the work, estimated to cost $50.0OO, August 2. The boards headquarters are at Dumas.
 Gus Waterman of Dumas, chairman of the board. has said the board will not deviate from it's intentions unless enjoined.
 "The board considers that 254,OOo acres of land are at stake in this prop osition, and believes it would be bet ter to sacrifice, if necessary, 5000 acres of land to save the rest of the district We shall proceed with the work until we are enioined, if we are do not think it would be right for the courts to stop us just because the land to be sacrificed belongs to the State, and I do not think the courts will hold that way"

 Arkansas corn crop appears much more promising than the crops of Mis-. souri, Illinois and Indiana. famed as they are for big yields of excellent grain, according to c. C. Kirkpatrick, former secretary of the Little Rock Chamber Of Commerce, who arrived here from Dallas. Texas, where he had attended meeting of the secretaries of commercial organizations of the Lone Star State The former secre- tary of the Little Rock comercial or ganization now is with the agricultur- al extension department of the Inter- national Harvester Company, with headquarters in Chicago.
 Arkansas is especially fortunate this year in having a good wheat and oats crop and with splendid prospects for a bumper corn crop said MT. Kirkpatrick. "T have found that the corn crop of Arkansas looks far better than the corn crops of Illinois, Indi- ana and Missouri. although these states are famed for the production or that grain There has been too much rain and cold weather in the other states. Cotton in Arkansas appears to be n fine condition. and with visi- ble supply of less than 2,000,000 bales and 15 per cent reduction in acreage the price of cotton should advance steadily, and 1t is my belief that the farmers may expect 12-cont cotton py sanuary l, whether tie European war continues or stops
