RADlUM IN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.

DERtIAPS it is fortunate that radilm is so ex-
1 penSive as to be out of the reach of the
quackS. For radum is as dangerous when unwiSely
used as it is beneficial when correctly and SGentfi-
caly administered.
Only few large Institutions are in position to
offer radium treatment The quack practitioner has
little or no chance to boodwink a hopeful though
uniformed public, for the fraud would be readily
detected by watchful medical authorities.
New York State is to be congratulated on max
ing provision for the treatment Of the soourge of
cancer with State-owned radum in the Buffalo
Institute But announcement of the availability
of the free treatment at Buffalo has caused some
misunderstanding and criticism. Many have won
dered, very naturally, why the radium was located
at Buffalo instead of in New York City.
The answer is that New York City is already
provided Memorial Hospital has a radium supply
larger than the State owns at Buffalo.
Although Memorial Hospital makes a charge
when the patient is financially able to pay, no suf-
ferer is turned away if radum treatments promise
benefit.
Memorial Hospital was one of the early expert
mentes with the use of radium as a curative agent
The success Of the cancer clinic here was in large
measure responsible for the State purchase of the
supply to be used at Buffalo.
In deposting radium in an upstate city the
State is not discriminating against the metropolis
1t is merely helping other localities to enjoy some
thing near the advantages which New York already
enjoys.

$1,000, or about $3.50 day, while
laborers received SO a day. In 1919 my
salary was S1.l2O, or about 1910 a

In 1920 my salary is $3.50 per

THE Archduke was a man of a

was just as eager to hate as to love.
He did nothing like other people, and
what he did was done in superhumaD

a lasting influence on his entire men
tai outlook He was u despiser of
men with his wits sharpened by his
own experience, and never allowed

will be the same after you nave

This little forecast proved consid-
erably more accurate than the Chron-

senator would be wasting MS
