For Rent

The roomy brick building in
the corner of court square is
now vacant and is offered to
whoever may desire to occupy it.
This building has been used ex-
clusively by the sheriff but he
has vacated it now and we may
add that this is the, first time in
the knowledge of the authorities
that it has been entirely unoccu-
pied with the exception of three
hours vacancy about eight years
ago during the administration of
Sheriff Joe N. Magee.
Howeverit has been thoroughly
cleaned and fumigated and has
stood open to the public since
the first of the week.
How does that speak for last
weeks big effort to clear the
criminal docket and also for the
faithfulness of Sheriff Bateman
and his officials in dispatchlne
their work? Looks, too, like a
step toward the lessening of
crime in our parish. Would we
might 90 thru the holidays and
begin our New Year with oul
Jail still For Rent.

RADIUM FAILS AS
 CURE FOR CANCER

NEW YORK. Dec. 17.-Aster eX- haustive tests the use of radium as a cure for cancer and tumorS has been found to be a failure, according to the annual report of Dr. Francis Carter Wood, head of the Srockcr cancer research fund of Columbia university, made public tonight. For cases on which operation is not pos sible radium is successful as a palli- ative only. the report states.
 "It is unquestionably possible to prolong life in few instances" Dr. Wood says, "and to make the patients more comfortable by the employment of large quantities of radium. On the other hand. it is equally certain that the use of small quantities, say twenty to fifty miligrams of radium element. often results in a rapid eN- tension of the tumor, so that the pa tient's condition is worse than if he had been left alone."-Ex.
