With these facts apparent we
think the matter should, as a matter
OF interest to the whole state. be
brought before the courts, and we
shall in due time present the case If
the contract is illegal, and we be-
lieve it is. then, it is unenforcible and
it makes no difference if one has been
entered into.
i read with some little interest
Mr.. Buford's interview published
Tuesday. We are entirely ready for
the supreme court to pass on the
question, for if the facts are as we
believe them, we feel quite sure the
result will be in our favor. This is
a matter Of great Importance to the
whole state, for public officials should
not pledge the credit of the state on
the strength Of the appropriation bill
when there are no moneys to pay
with. and we feel doubly sure that we
are right since the state board acted
SO hastily instead of giving us an
opportunity to prove our charge.
I'VE assure the public that we are
in earnest, and that every citizen
and taxpayer should make the investi-
cation with u.s.

GOOD NEWS FOR CANCER suFF.
ERERS

Col Raymond G. Turck has recent
" made an interesting announcement
regarding the State radium clinic for
the treatment of cancer.
The clinic, which was established
about year ago by DR. Ralph N.
Greene, State Health Officer, and DR..
Gerry r. Holden Of Jacksonville, has
up until now treated only cases Of
inoperable cancer in women. Col.
fTurck now states that both men and
women suffering from any form of
cancer which can be benefited by
radium will be accepted for treat
ment.
The conditions under which these
services are given are few and simple.
The patient must be bona fide resi-
dent of the State of Florida Also
he must be beneficially unable to pay
for any medical service which he may
require. 1t is not the intention Of
the State Board of Health to enter
into competition with private physi-
clans in treatment Of disease. There
fore, patients who are in moderate
circumstances and yet able to make
some payment for medical service
are not eligible for this treatment.
Inasmuch as the State Board OF
Health is not legally empowered to
spend its funds for the treatment Of
diseases unless especially authorized,
this clinic has been made possible
only through the courtesy of DR.. Hol-
den in donating his own services and
the use of his radium to this work
This is entirely an act of charity on
DR.. Holden's part as he receives no
financial remuneration whatsoever.
The value of radium in the treat
ment of cancer is recognized today by
the majority of physicians. 1t is es-
pecially adapted in treating those
cases in which, for one reason or an
other, operations cannot be performed
For example,, many cases of those
cancers peculiar to women first come
to the doctor only when the growth
is so far advanced that an operation
is impossible. Also there are forms
of superficial cancer which on ac-
count of the location of the disease
cannot be treated by operation. In
these, and in many other forms of
cancer, treatment by radium gives by
far the best results.
There are undoubtedly very many
unfortunates throughout the State of
Florida who are eligible for this clinic.
Many of them would be much benefit
ted by the treatment received in it.
It is to be hoped that as many as
possible will avail themselves of this
offer.
The necessary blanks which are
used in applying for this free treat
lment may be obtained upon applica-
ton to the State Health officer.

ORGANIZED AGAINST THE BUGS

Stoddard county farmers lead the
state in the organized destruction Of
the chinch bug. according to A. C.
Burrill Of the Missouri Agricultural
Extension Service. And Shelby coun-
ty is close second. In the latter
county the Farm Bureau and the farm
clubs both have bought blast torches
and have made county wide raid on
the hiding places of the bugs. In
Madison and St. Francois counties,
also, notable work has been done.
Farmers in these counties have con-
tinued the burning of field borders
and fence rows even during rainy
days; and when necessary have pour
ed spoonful of kerosene in each grass
tuft and burned the bug strongholds
despite unfavorable weather.
