X-RAY Is THE NEW
TUBERCULOSIS CURE.

Physicians who have spent years
IN the study of tuberculosis de-
clare that the cure evolved by
DIR. Jefferson ID. BibSon, of Den
Yer, Colo, is one that in 10 years
ought 10 put tuberculosis among
the relatively non-faial diseases.
DIR. Gibson described the cure
in detail. 1t provides cure by
adding X-rays, ozone and static e.
lectrlcity 10 the climatic and
dietetic treatment now common
IN tuberculosis hospitals. BY
this method, he claims, the pres
ence of the disease can be detect
ed in healthy, robust persons
even before the well known symp-
toms begin TO form, and cures can
be effected in advanced cases in
remarkably short time.
DIR. Gibson said:

RUSSIAN WOMEN IN THE WAR

London-A dispatch from Warsaw

the civil population is joining in the
defense and among these are found
women and even children willing to
undergo the hardships even of sentry
and outpost duty.
These women and children are most
effective, the dispatch says. They
bring in many German prisoners to
headquarters. The prisoners are usu-
ally safely bound and for greater Sc
curity their guns, though taken away
from them, have the triggers tied with
cord.

GETS HIS REVENGE
Aged French General Waits a.
Years for Day.
Since 1870 General Maunoury, Recent
Iy Decorated by King George,
Has Worked and Planned
for Revenge on Germans.

Paris.-'T owe to you the attain
ment of the aim towards which all my
efforts, all my energy have been
strained for forty-four years past-re-
venge for 1870"
This message from the order Of the
day in which General Maunoury
thanked his troops for their victorious
participation in the battle of the
Marne, explains the whole life of the
veteran upon whom King George has
conferred the order Of St. Michael and
st. George.
In a war which has clamored for
the qualities of youth, a general upon
the retired list, sixty-seven years Of
age, might well have imagined that
his hopes of active employment were
vain, that the most he could expect
would be some post as organizer in
the depots well to the relr of the zone
of operations.
General Maunoury was called from
his flowers and his --rming in the
Loir ct Cher in August, and came to
Paris in the hope of obtaining some
command in the field where he would
be able to work directly for the re
vanche."
At the outset of the war all the gen
eral officers belonged to the active
army. and for time General Maun-
curry had to content himself with the
useful, if less satisfying, work of in
specting depots and the organization
of reserves.
1t was not long, however, before
he was given the command OF an army
formed at Verdun, at the head of
which he took part in the early and
disastrous fighting along the Belgian
frontier. During the retreat he fought
a series of actions with the greatest
brilliance, while at the same time re-
organizing and completing his force.
General Maunoury was ordered to
Paris to undertake the task of organ
izing and commanding tie army des-
tined, in the event of things turning
out badly on the Marne, to act in the
defense of Paris.
The appointment was fiattering,
but to General Maunoury it aroused
many cruel memories, for he had be-
gun his military career in the army
Of Paris in 1870 and, as artillery Of
ficer, had known the bitterness of de-
feat in the series of battles which was
fought in the neighborhOod of the capi-
tai.
That bitterness he wiped out in sig
nal manner at the head of the army
of Paris which at the critical moment
swung on to the German right along
the Ourcq, and withstanding the most
terrible battering for days, finally pre-
cipitated the general retreat of the
enemy back to the Aisne
General Maunoury comes from a
family which has beer noted for its
service to the countryside Of the Loir

General Maunoury and his army have

1t was there that / had the honor
of visiting him.
Like many another army commander
have been privileged to meet along
the French front, General Maunoury
has refused to admit that a generals
place is in the study poring over maps,
receiving reports, conducting war as
though it were nothing but a game OF
chess.
He declined to believe that the tele-
phones, wireless, the aeroplanes, and
modern shell fire have in any way
belittled the importance of men, and
he made a point of making at least
one visit day to the front trenches,
where his CHEEKY smile and cheering
words never failed to increase the re-
spect and admiration in which he is
held by his officers and men.
1t was during one of those visit
that bullet found him with his eye
at peephole and temporarily de-
prived France of his service.

six or seven shells exploding at once.
