Says Use of Salt Causes.
Cancer in Human Tissue

CHICAGO. June 6.-Capcer, the
dread scourge, should be eradicated
in the course OF ten years, accord
ing to the hopeful prediction by Dr.
Edward p. Robinson, of New York
who addressed the Illinois State
Electric and Tri-State Electric
Medical and Surgical societies OF
Michigan. Wisconsin and Illinois in
convention here.
DR.. Robinson blamcs much of the
scourge upon the indiscriminate use
of common salt in food.
DR.. Charles Woodward. of Chi
cago, president of both societies
and chairman of the convention.
said that DR.. Robinson was treating
and curing cases lof cancer in New
York simply by reducing the
amount of salt taken into the hu-
man system and administering pos
tium nitrate to relieve the cells
from the irritant of sodium chloride
This lessons the tendency toward
malignancy and assists in mineral
izing the tissues.

A Simple Remedy.

THE greatest inventions are the simplest in
i their operation. The greatest remedies are
the simplest in their form and application whether
for human bodily ailments, human conditions.
Representative Ansorge has such remedy for the
Stacker list hateful to many, and yet dear to
a national sense of justice
So simple is this remedy that it seems as al
ways, strange tnat no one has before proposed it.
Mr. Ansorge has put it in the form OF joint reso-
luton, but congressional action with its delays,
is necessary, if the war department merely. acts
upon the suggestion. Instead Of publishing the
list as "desertcrs,' he would have them published
as the of those under Investigation to
establish their status. This carries no stigma.
The resolution proposes a prefix to the list,
which reads List of men who were subject TO
draft and who under investigation for alleged
failure to register report entrain pursuant to the
draft or seective service regulations, etc. 1t has
developed that many of those the list, enlisted
before the draft law was in operation before this
country entered the war, before enlistment was for
hidden, with Canadian other allied forces. To
stigmatize them for time, "deserters," or
slackers is more than an injustice.
This resolution is very simple remedy. 1t
would make it not only possible, but so far as is
possible. public obligation to give the names as
great publicity can be. 1t would be service to
the men falsely listed and without rcproach. would
enable them or their families and friends to correct
the record

sabbath days. referred to by Paul
in Colossianss 2:167 Those spoken

Anent Weights and Measures
Bill.

To the Editor. The washington Herald:
Kindly allow me space in your
paper to say a few words in behalf
of the farmer concerning the new
weights and measures bill which
took effect June 3.
I regard President Wilson as the
best President we ever had. and re-
gret that his signature went on
such poor piece Of legislation.
Now that the new administration
has been at a loss for something
sensible to tackle. would advise II
to repeal this bill at once. This
would add much to its credit. for
the bill Is a downright disadvan-
tage to the farmer and consumer
as well; for what's Instantaneous

the long run by the consumer.

rather give the difference In guam

"a long list Of Disadvantages. I will
at this time mention only a few OF
them: 1t provides different size boxes
