Radium Does It.

Radium which you held in the in
struments in your mouth melted the
tonsils away. No blood, no knives, no
pain, only twenty minutes of your
time gone and you can continue your
working and playing and eating as if
you'd never had tonsil!
DR.. A. Graham Biddle, New York
specialist, is perfecting the radium
treatment for tonsils He has been
working nine years to eliminate the
danger, blood and pain of tonsil re-
moval.
Method Simple.
"The method" says DR.. Biddle, "is
exceedingly simple. The patient needs
no previous treatment or preparation.
The attending physician would assist
perhaps in adjusting the radium pen
Gil so that it would strike the tonsil-
after that the patient hold it there
until the fibre is melted away.
"The radium melts back to what is
called the crypt-a little ridge about
as thick as this" Biddle was holding
up a piece of tissue paper folded three
times. "That little ridge is allowed
to remain.
Makes Experiments.
"Radium has interested me intense
ly. I watched its effect on cancers
and it occurred to me that tonsils
might be removed that way
$50, experimenting with removed
tonsils, I found that Gamma radium
(there are three classes of radium,
Alpha, Beta and Gamma, all of which
have a different action) would dis
solve the fibrous tissue Of the tonsil."
The treatment, Biddle says, never
requires more than twenty minutes.
"And that's all there is to it," Bid
die said, rather genial, heavy voiced
man, snapped his thumb and third
finger, "no blood and no tonsils lying
around on the tablet"

PROTEST AGAINST
RENEWED WARFARE
English Papers Strong in the Demand
That No More Blood be Shed
in Ireland.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire.)


London = A chorus of vigorous pro-
tests against renewal of warfare in
Ireland in event the present peace ne
gotiations collapse is raised by the
morning newspapers after the meeting
yesterday of Premier Lloyd George
and Sir James Craig, Ulster premier
In this conference the British cabinet
chief informed Sir James that Sim
Fem Ireland had refused to swear al
legiance to the crown in return for
an Ulster agreement to enter an all
Ireland parliament. The gravity of
the situation resulting from this re-
fusal calls for the references to a pos
sible recurrence of hostilities.
Further developments are awaited
with the keenest anxiety, the newspa-
pers generally finding little comfort
in the outlook beyond the fact that
negotiations are still proceeding.

BIG BOND ISSUE
FORMALLY MADE
County Board Votes II to
5 to Issue S165,OOO in
Road Bonds.
OFF TO SEE ROADS

The county board at its session on
Saturday afternoon formally adopted
the resolution providing for a bond
issue of $165,00O for the extension of
the permanent Improvement of the
Geneva road. The resolution to issue
the bonds was adopted by a vote of
II TO 0, Supervisors Luke, Parks. Fill
bin, Roders and Sorensen voting
against 1T. At the same time the form
al resolutions providing for interest
and principal payment were adopted by
the board without division and the as
sessment was levied against the towns
directly interested in the construction
OF the road. The vote on the resolu-
tlon indicated that the proposed bond
issue had practically the unanimous
support of the country members of the
board as Supervisor Luke of Wbea+lan5
was the only country member voting
against it. Much of the work of inn
proving the road will eventually be
done in the township of Wheatland
which is represented on the board bv
Mr.. Luke, but the bonds issued will
provide for the work in the town of
Salem.
Much Visiting on Program.

tant being the resolution for the estab-

Wine the hot day deferred many

many more than IA, 922 people
would have been able to take this

may suggest that while the sport
ing element may feel deeply
wronged by the law, yet the mass
of hard working folks can see that
prohibition saves a great deal of
loss and suffering.
Neglected Rural Schools
The complaint frequently made
of unsatisfactory schools in coun-
try districts, is often due not so
much to failure of appropriations
as lack of cooperation on the
part of parents, many of whom
lkrep their children out of school
when they need their work. One
farmer remarked that his boy was
worth $1,000 for work during the
harvest season, but he was only an
expense if he went to school.
In Colorado it was found that
nearly 5000 children were being
kept out of school about 10 weeks
each year to do farm work. Any
community that tolerates poor
school attendance is not going to
raise a generation of young peo-
pie that can compete in these days
of mental efficiency.

honors in scholarship, being grad
uated at the head of his, class in
1875. He took up work in the
Allegheny Observatory but the
close confinement tended to under
mine his health and he returned
to Vermont to study law. He was
soon admitted to the bar and neld
various public offices in his town
and in the state before acting as
general counsel for the Rutland
Railroad and as attorney for the
Central Vermont. Here it was that
he went deeply into the subject of
railroad rates, the economics of
marginal profits percentage of
gains, and all the intricate de-
tails of railroad financing and OPP
Grafton. This knowledge was in
valuable to him few years later
when he was named a member of
the interstate Commerce Commits
sion and was undoubtedly in great
part responsible for his being
named on the commission. No
other member, 1t was often SAID
had the wide understanding and
learning on railroad matters that
Mr.. Prouty had and his know
ledge easily made him the leader.
AS director of valuation of rail
roads his services have been of
great worth and his opinions on
decisions to be rendered by the
commission have always been, re-
garded in the highest light by the
administration, irrespective of
which party was in power, 'rhis
more than anything else, perhaps,
gives an insight into the manner
of man he was. His admirable
traits and characteristics made
him stand out far above the crowd
His place will be sorely missed.
