PHILA, MAY BUY RADIUM
Council Urged to Appropriate $25o,ooo
For Supply For Cancer Victims.

Philadelphia, May 5.-An ordinance
authorizing an appropriation of $3.50,
OOO for the purchase of a municipal
supply of radium to be placed in the
Philadelphia General Hospital was
reported favOrably to the finance
committee of council by unanimous
vote of members OF the committee on
public health.
The money will be sufficient to
procure two grammeS, which is about
the size Of an exceedingly small pea.
EmanatiOnS from such an amount of
the precious radioactive metal, how
ever, may bring relief to hundreds of
cancer patients, who in lieu of the
means to receive the radium treat
ment now have to be given Opfates.
1t is proposed to give free treatment
TO the poor and make nominal charges
to persons who can afford tC pay. 1t
was said that the purchase of the
radium will give Philadelphia the dis
tinctiOn of being the first American
city to take such action by direct mu
