Nem Treatment for caneer

By a special form of X-rays new in use for cancer treatment at the there expect that no less than 80 per West London Hospital the authorities cent of the cases will be cured.
 The ordinary X-ray has been only partially successful in the curing of cancer, owing to the limitations Of available apparatus. The new treat ment makes 1t possible to use much greater intensity of X-rays and yet does not injure the patient in the slightest degree.
 It consists of the use of rays of a wavelength that is quite outside the range of human vision The electric current used in the apparatus at the West London Hospital is approximate ly 100000 volts.
 The highly complex electrical appar- atus required for this treatment is the l design of a Bavarian radiologist and | the equipment at the West London i Hospital is the only one at present in any English hospital.
 It has been subjected to careful tests I there by one of the leading radiolo- gists in London. and the experience | of the Bavarian specialists, enables | the hospital authorities 10 announce
 that a conservative estimate of the possibilities of the new treatment is | to put the number of cures in the flu | ture at double that ever known in
 the past.-London Chronicle.

 Norwich had an infant mortality rate of 1oS in 1000 in 1920, according to sta- tistics compiled by the American Child than the rate in 1919, when it was s1 in 1000, but lower than the general av- craze from 1911 to 1915, which was 127
 Manchester, this state, with an infant mortality rate of 37 to 1000. was one of the four places in the United States tied at that figure for the fourth lowest iri- fant death rate in 1920. Hartford had a death rate of s9 for infants, whieh is average for cities of population between 100000 and i50,0o0, the lowest ranging from ST to 72, and the highest from l25 to 2O3. LaekawanIa, N. Y, with an in fant mortality of 274, was the highest reported, but there are s,ate institutions there which makes this above the nor nal for the city itself.
 Hartford, the third city in the state in population, has the sixth highest death rate. New Haven and Bridgeport, the two cities of the state with a greater population, both have a lower infant nor tality rate. Ansonia. with a rate of 1I1 to 1000, has the highest death rate. and Manchester the lowest of Connecticut cities.
 Connecticut places. with the Exception of Orange and Bristol, show a decrease in the death rate for 1920 over the aver age death rate for the period from 1911 to 1918. The year 1919 seems to have been the best year in the whole coun- try as well as in Connecticut, for the welfare of babies, as the mortality rate 1 for that year hits new low levels in most of the cities. In 1920 there was d slight increase in the mortality rate in most of the cities Of the United States.

 'arhe recovery of our foreign tfads can march only in company with, the welfare and prosperity of our customers he said
 If we would maintain our economic position we must continue to give cred It's to buyers of our goods, and if we should demand interest or principal on our established loans we would nullify any benefits of such credits. If today we stop giving more credits and demand payment of interest on debts due oui government. our exports will further de- cline, and the decline will find it's inter. pretation Tn more unemployment among our own people and more displacement of our industries"
