First Clue to Treatment.

In a report published in "The Medi-
cal Record" in 1912 eminent surgeons
stated the remedy for cancer might
well be a chemical substance.
1T has long been the opinion Of
thoughtful students of the subject" :"
says the report, that local treatments
for cancer, however, necessary as
makeshifts, have been based on a mis-
conception. 1t is quite possible, for
example, that X-rays or the fulgura-
ton treatment may benefit a super
feial cancer at its point of origin, but
the danger of such grOwths lies largely
in their spread to distant and inaccesi-
bic vital organs, where local treatment
Is impossible.
"We believe 1t, therefore, automatic
that a scientific remedy for cancer
shall be one soluble in the blood,
trunsmisslble by the blood and lymph
currents to all parts Of the body, and
possessed Of u selective affinity for the
cells Of the tumOr to be destroyed.
'Such remedy may quite cOnceiv-
ably be a chemical substance existing
in the outside world, and by happy ac-
cldent discovered to have the desired
properties"
DR.. Francis Carter Wood, director of
the CrOcker Cancer Research Fund,
speaking on the laboratory study of
the causes Of the disease at meet
ing Of the New York Academy of
Medicine last May, said it had been
established, almost beyond question,
that cancer was not a germ disease,
nor in any way allied to germ dis
eases.

West Eighty-siXth street, this city. Sc
lenium is powerful chemical which,
taken internally, in capsules, has re-
lieyed suffering in many cases and in
others has effected an apparent cure.
Dr. Walker however, does not say
he has found a cure, but he firmly be-
lieves the treatment is worthy of a
thorough trial.

more than two hundred cases" DR..
Walker said to New York Tribune
reporter. "ln many of them dag

Believes Cure Was Made.
"S0me of the patients were near
death when l first saw them, and it
was possible to do nothing but relieve
little of their pain. In other cases,
said by specialists to be beyond help,

cure. If selenium will only relieve
pain it is worth using. and if 1t will
cure, the treatment should be thor

Walker uses, was worked out in CO.

commissioners, but the commission
form of government.
Among the instances he recited
showing the inefficiency of the alder
manic system were the following: I'm
der that system a bond issue was
floated for public improvements: $780,
900 was appropriated for the building
of city hall complete. The city hall,
he said, cost $4,000 and is not yet
complete. A city Jail to cost $25, 900.
1t cost, he says the records show,
$4S,0O0. There was 81 400 demurrage
due on the city hall when it was
finally turned over, he said, but the
council voted that back to the con-
tractor. Mr.. Andrews said that after
bids had been advertised for for the
issue of S250,000 ard a Cincinnati
man had made a bid and put up a
certified check for $1,000, he had fail
ed to buy the bonds and the council
had given him back his seven thou

He told of the $4,000 forfeit put
up for the franchise of the Pensacola
& Northwestern Railway, which he
said that. after giving the grantees
every chance in the world, the courcil

after being called everything in the

LIVELY MEETING
IN PRECINCT Is

While not the largest, one of the
liveliest public political meetings held
in this city recently took place last
night at the corner of Intendencia
and DeVillier streets, in Precinct Is.
Although the meeting was held pri-
marily for the benefit of the voters of
the precinct in which it took place,
it was attended by voters from all
parts of the city who were interested
in hearing the proposed city charter
discussed.
The meeting was presided over by
A. H. Payne, and talks were made by
E. ?. Preston, J. n. Andrews, o. J.
Semmes, Jr., and Robert P. Stout.
All of the speakers were afforded the
closest attention by the two hundred
or more voters present.
Preston Appeals to Working Men.
E. P. Preston, who was the first
speaker, stated that he represented
the working people and the so-called
Rough necks." He said the "Plutes'
were attempting to take the govern
! ment into their hands and put the
''Rough necks" out of politics. He
urged his hearers to stick together
and help him keep them from doing
this.
He said the representation was un,
equal under the proposed charter, anc
showed how an eight man ring
could easily be built up to dominate
the affairs of the city. He said that
this could be done much more easily
than 'three ring" combination
could be formed.

| J. n. Andrews was the next speaker
and his address was devoted almos
entirely to the relation of various in
cidenss, which he said could easily b.
verified from the records, showing the
deficiencies of the aldermanic form
of government.
"This is a question of the form
of government" he said "No matte

WH|sKEY SELLING
. CASES CALLED IN
THE CITY COURT

Two cases against defendants,
charged with selling iq'or without
license, were called in the recorders
court yesterday morning. One, for
eigner who keeps a restaurant on
North Tarragona street, was tried
and convicted of a violation of the
tippling house regulations, and was
fined $25. Later, upon the promise
of the defendant that he would do
better in the future, the fine was re-
duced to SIS.
A negro named Sweet Sanders, who
on Monday morning was fined SIS for
being the prophet II of a place where
gambling was permitted, is also
charged with violating the local liquor
laws, but on account of the unavoid-
able absence of Officer Harrington,
who was injured the day before in an
automobile accident, the case was con-
tinued. Sanders was released under
bond of $3.50.

NEW AGRICULTURAL
TOPIC DISCUSSED
BY SCHOOL BOARD

The plans of the new agricultural
school to be built at Gonzalez formed
the chief topic of discussion at the
special meeting of the board of public
instruction last night, called for the
purpose of acting on the plans drawn
by Walker D. Willis. The actual work
ing plans were not under considera-
tion, it being merely the wish of the
board to ascertain approximately the
type of structure which could be built
with the $4,000 bond issue.
All the members of the board of
trustees of the Gonzalez district COM
posed of r. P. Wilder, C. F. Jennings,
and w. L. Seasons, together with the
principal of the school, o. ID. Allbrit-
ten, appeared before the board to
discuss the matter with them. The
board ordered the question referred
to the trustees and Mr.. Willis, who
will draw complete plans for the build
ing and submit same to the board
as soon as possible.
After the site and other incidentals
are paid from the bond issue, ap-
proximately $4,000 will be available
for erecting the building, which will
be large brick structure built on
the most approved lines. AS soon as
the plans are made for building
with the amount, bids will be adver-
tised and the work commenced as
soon as possible.
Much interest is being shown here
in the establishment of the agricultu-
raj school at Gonzalez and it will be
remembered that the school board ap.

L. Seasons and f. l.. Gilmore to &C

ods used in the schools of that state
Many of the points of the Mississippi
system will probably be applied at the
rev institution, and will make it one
of the best in this section.

To VISIT MOTHER
WHOM He HAS NOT
SEEN IN z YEARS

Abe Daniels expects to leave for
northern points Sunday at noon to
enjoy vacation of three weeks. He
is planning great things, and ex-
poets to enjoy every hour of his abb
sence from Pensacola.
Possibly the biggest event of his
absence will be TO visit his aged
mother, whom he has not seen in
twenty-five years. She resides in New
York, and Mr.. Daniels plans to spend
a whole week there. This is a meet
ing that the Pensacola man is looking
forward to with the greatest of pleas
ure, and to make it all the more in
teresting, he has confided to no one
there the fact of his intended visit.
Mr.. Daniels plans to stop a day in
Cincinnati Monday, and then go to
Akron, o., where he has a sister.
After seeing his mother and other
relatives in New Yor~, sr. Daniels
expects to fall in with Frank Welles,
George Wentworth and Oscar Maura
and with Emanuel Johnson of this
city, who is also to Se in New York
about that time, an the Pensacola
party will probably remain over to
see one or more of the rig league
