CROSS MAY SEEK
CONGRESS HONOR

A. L. Cross, of Sparks, who was
the only Democrat to be elected to
the assembly from Washoe county
two years ago, and Nevada delegate
to the Democratic national conven-
ton in San Francisco two years
ago, probably will become candi-
date for congress, according to an
article published in the Sparks Tri-
bune Thursday.
The Tribune quotes Mr.. Cross
as saying that he expects to file his
declaration of candidacy within the
next day or two, and concludes:
For many years Mr.. Cross has
been on the main line of the South
enr Pacific as a conductor and has
come in contact with hundreds
of prominent men and women
in Nevada and his acquaintance
will stand him in good stead
if he eventually becomes a candi-
date. 1t is expected that a definite
announcement will be forthcoming
by the end of the week"
1t will be interesting to Winnie
mucca people to know that Mr..
Cross is a son-in-law of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. L. Wilkinson of this city.
Mrs. Cross is we'll know here, COM
ing to this city frequently to visit
her parents.

DAMAGED ENGINE
FINALLY REPAIRED

After being at Wells for a
period of nearly three weeks, an
engine of the Southern Pacific COM
pany has been moved to Carlin,
according to word from Wells.
The engine was the source of
considerable agitation during the
time it was in Wells. About a
week ago authorities were called
from Elko to quell what seemed
for a while to be riot. 1t de-
veloped that railroad employees had
caused repair men to abandon a
job of fixing the engine, and leave
town.
A damaged wheel caused the en-
CINE to be abandoned at Wells.
A single man, coming from
Ogden, repaired the engine un-
molested. When seven armed
guards appeared on the scene, they
found the engine repair job COM
pleted. They endeavored to pro-
cure food at Wells, but it is re-
ported, were unable to purchase or
be supplied. Independent.

TUBERCULOSIS REPORT

The report of the Middesex County Anti-Tuberculosis League
for October, which was submitted to the Board of Freeholdcrs at
the meeting Thursday shows a great increase in the number of
cases under the jurisdiction of that organization. There are 1,0H
cases now compared with 1872 last year. Incidentally, three more
patients have been granted admission to tuberculosis sanitariums.
For a long time Middlesex county has been contemplating the
erection of a sanitarium of its own. That the county has not had
such a building long before this is due mainly to politics. A
great deal Of the taxpayers money has been wasted and if some
thing definite is not done pretty soon this matter will become as
great a scandal as was the erection of the present bridge over the
Raritan river between the Amboys a few years ago.
The care of the tuberculosis patients is one OF the heaviest
drains on the county treasury. But the significant fact is that
the number of cases is constantly increasing. This is due to the
fact that it is impossible to take care OF all the cases that now
exist. As long as those stricken with the disease cannot be taken
away as soon as the first symptoms are discovered, so long will the
disease continue to spread. This means the expenses of the county
will 90 on increasing, but what is more important, 1t means that
lives are being lost.
With a tuberculosis sanitarium of its own where patients, as
500 as discovered, can be removed and carefully treated, Middle
sex county would see a falling off in the number of cases. Not only
that. but many cures could be made because of the fact that the
ease received immediate attention and proper treatment. From
every point of view, Middlesex county will be better off by the
erection of a tuberculosis santarium. Until the county IS thus
equipped we can hardly expect any decrease IN the number OF
cases.

TONSILS AND THEIR ILLS
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin

and the soft tissue is absorbed and
shriveled, leaving only firm healthy
tissue behind.
DIR. Wells does not advocate his
method of radium treatment as d
substitute for removal of tonsils by
surgical operation. .Radium is for
those who cannot stand an opera
ton. 1t has the advantages of being
painless and of not being weaken
ing. 1t involves no hospital illness.
Nevertheless it is not for the average
person. 1t is expensive.
Even though new sources of ra-
dunn are discovered from time to
time there Is little prospect Of its
becoming an inexpensive material.
The cost of mining and extracting 1t
is large, and doctors using it are
mainly specialists who have evolved
methods of treatment by long study
and large investment. Still, h cost
of radium is dropping. Where once
it sold for $110 a milligram it is
now quoted at around $70.
X-ray has also been used as a
treatment for diseased tonsils, with
varying success. The disadvantage
is that the rays must penetrate to
the tonsils from the outside of the
neck, whereas radium can be ap-
piled directly to the diseased organ.
Closely allied to tonsilar troubles
is the popular disease known as ade-
noids. When people speak of ade-
noids they refer to a disease of tho
little tonsil organ located between
the nose and throat where they join.
This organ is sometimes called the
third tonsil, and like the other two
it is supposed to shrink early in life.
When it fails to atrophy and gets
larger instead by disease, breathing
is INSTRUCTED and considerable dis
comfort may result. This third ton
sill may swell t. a bigger size than
the tonsils of the throat but it does
not harbor infection to the same ex-
tent, and so it is not generally a
source of trouble as the regular ton
sils are.
With all this depressing informa-
ton on the frailty of man anyone
would naturally inquire how to keep
the tonsils, all three of them. in their
proper, inconspicuous place. About
all that car be done, it is said, is to
avoid colds. When colds occur and
the tonsils are inflamed they become
larger than before and they are very
apt not to shrink afterwards to their
former size.

whom a sumptuous sepulchre was
raised by his wife at Halicarnassus
which became famous as the sew
enth wonder Of the world.
@. Are alcohol and tobacco bad
for a tuberculosis patiently. c..
A. The Public Health Service
says the alcoholic liquors are al
ways harmful to such a patient, even
when taken in moderation. The
effects of tobacco are so different
in different cases that no general
rule car be laid down.
@. Why is an unbranded steer
called a maverick ?-N. o. S.
A. The term maverick as ap-
piled to unbranded steer is said to
be derived from the name of Samuel
Maverick, a Texas lawyer, who ae-
cepted a herd of 400 head of cattle
in payment Of a debt. They were
neglected and allowed to run wild
and when calves were born they
were appropriated by other ranch
ers and branded with their marks
and so passed to their indisputable
ownership. Hence the name a
erick came to be given to all calves
caught straying from the herd.
@. Have we had matches as
long as we have had phosphorus?
e. B.
A. 1t was almost 500 years after
the discovery of. phosphorus by the
Arab, Bechel, that it was found pos
sible to obtain a light quickly by the
friction of phosphorus and sulphur.

applied commercially in the latter
| part of the seventeenth century by

NOT AS RADICAL AS SUPPOSED

The decisive Conservative victory in England comes some
what IS a surprise after all that we have heard about the great
Liberal and radical movement in all parts OF the world. 1t IS true
that the Labor party made big gains, but all the parties combined
are not able to overcome the Conservative majority. This ought
10 furnish some encouragement for the more conservative element
IN this country.
With the Soviet government of Russia becoming more and
more thoroughly established, with the radical tendency IN Ger
MANY. the unrest in Italy and the upheaval about Constantmople,
not to mention the recent election in this country, there was good
reason for believing that so-called conservatism had all but dis
appeared; that the tendency was toward radlcalism and that I'M
less the leaders in the different countries where government Is
thoroughly established adopted themselves to the new order OF
things they would find themselves overthrown and the Will OF the
people expressed in no mistaken terms.
In England, too, it was supposed that the radicals had become
more powerful and that the Liberal party, at least, would be IN
control. The appeal to the people, however, has upset all calcula-
lions. The oldtime Conservative party easily controls parliament,
the majority evidntly feel that the country is safest In the hands OF
those who will go slow with the adoption of new ideas.
The fact remains, however, that there is a decided change in
sentiment throughout the world. Things can never be as they
Ennce were. The people are coming more and more into their own.
u tendency is for more liberal government and unless the new
srnment in England heeds this tendency regardless of the ap
81 vote of confidence for the old order, it will soon find itself
lifted. For the time being, however, the British election
lat the people as a whole are not as radical as some had
