INTERESTING TO DOCTORS.
DR.. Harvey R. Gaylord and DR..
Charles Cary, Of Buffalo, leave
for Germany on Saturday to in
vestigate results obtained by
German scientists applying to
cancer x-rays of extraordinary
high power. DR.. Gaylord is di-
rector Of the New York State
Institute for Research in Malig-
nant Disease. He and DR.. Cary
will bring back facts that may be
important to all doctors,
IMPORTANT TO EDITORS,
especially little ones. News paper
from Finland and Sweden, good
quality, is offered, freight pre-
paid to this country, at cents,
In amounts running up to 10000
tons. The market in England
and Australia has practically COL
lapsed; hence the cheap price at
which this paper is urged upon
buyers. This will come as a sort

to small publishers that have
wondered lately who really owned
their newspapers.
Northcliffe, not exactly stag
nant, will print newspapers on,
and distribute by parachute from,
the flying machines that travel be-
tween London and Paris.
Leaving England, the news
papers will be printed in English;
coming back, in French. Wireless
will collect the news as the ma
chimes go along. That is progress.
The flying days are here.
Mans foolish self-approval de-
pends not upon his size. Che Nah,
twenty-eight inches tall, about as
high as your knee, weighing forty
pounds and eighty-three years old,
tells a judge at Laporte, Ind, that
he would like a divorce, because
his wife, five and a half feet high
and white, went off to Pennsyl-
vania on a visit. without getting
his permission. Think about that,
proud man!
Many children are injured, among
the prosperous, by their mothers

Mrs. Gurley. She heard a splash;
her child, three years old, was at
the bottom of the well. No one to
help, she climbed down, miracu-
lously, and climbed up again.

the sides of the well, bringing the
child, safe, with her.
Three days later a little girl was
born, perfectly healthy, weighing
seven pounds, and without anv
birthmark of any old oaken buck

Prosperous mothers should first
consult a doctor, then exercise
reasonably and wisely.
Millions of mothers unfortu-
nately are compelled to exercise
unreasonably and unwisely before
confinement. Their children also
suffer. But that is another story,
not SO interesting in our kind Of
civilization.
Well paid judges have actually
decided that it is not constitution
al to protect such mothers by law
from night work and excessive la
Dor.
Sentiment and justice are
strange. Lonnie Eaton committed
murder. Without hesitation he
was sentenced to hang. Nobody
fused about that.
The sheriff, busy, forgot to hang
him on the day fixed. Now they
won't hang him at all. Imprison-
ment for life instead. How would
ySu analyze that?
1t is a good thing. of course,
