DR. MAYO THINKS SURGERY BETTER. FUR CANCER CURE
Noted Surgeon Explains Statement That "There Is
 No Medical Cure"

ROCHESTER,, Minn., Oct. 13.-(By Associated Press.)-At a meeting of the general staff of the Mayo clinic, held few days ago, pr. W. J. Mayo referred to recent newspaper com ment on his remarks made with re- gard to the present status of the cancer problem, quoting him as de- claring. in substance, that there was no cure for cancer. In the course of lecture in London in July Dr. Mayo said: There is no medical cure for cancer;" in other words, no medi- cine taken internally will cure the disease. Continuing, he said that g. great deal of experimental work was in progress inaall parts of the world, al, of which gradually was adding important knowledge concerning this serious disease, but, unfortunately. these investigations, which have been made Cn animals, have not, as yet, any direct application to human sub jects.
 Depend On Diagnosis.
 pr. Mayo. in his talk to his staff, said that the cure of cancer depends on diagnosis and removal at the earliest possible time. In some man
 
 derstand these truths Experience in the Mayo clinic has been that 71.S per cent of patients operated on for cancer when the disease is still To- calized, that is, has not extended be- yond the primary focus, are cured by operatoin, and the large majority of the remainder greatly benefited. and many have been cured even when the disease had extended be- yond the primary focus.
 Surgical operation is the only method of removal to be seriously considered, Dr. Mayo continued, be- cause it permits removal, with the growth, of surrounding tissues and glands that may have. become in volved in the disease. The X-ray, radium and other agents have a field of usefulness in connection with sur gery, but patfnet should not be subjected to X-ray, radium or other similar treatment without careful surgical consultation since. if such agents are used while the disease is still local. and fail to cure, the re- sultant tissue changes delay depend able surgical operation and may per- haps prevent it.
 Qnacks Do Harm.
 Radiotherapy and other treatment in the hands of untrained persons, or those whose knowledge is limited to one type of treatment, do an enor- nous amount of harm. Lacking knowledge, these practitioners are not able to differentiate and apply the method which experience would show to be the best method suited to the individual patient.
 pr. Mayo now permits these state ments to be made public in the hope of correcting an unfortunate impress sion which has been spread by many newspapers in this country. Since his return from Great Britain he has had an enormous number of letters from, persons suffering from cancer, the letters containing clippings from newspapers in all parts of the United States purporting to quote him as saying, There is no cure for cancer" without reference to his basic state ment that surgical removal does cure the disease. What Dr. Mayo actually said was, There is no medical cure for cancer"

Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder Irritation or
 Backache

The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat too much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the re- suit is kidney trouble, bladder weak ness and a general decline In health.
 When your kidneys feel like lrmps of lead; your back hurts or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, oc dizzy, nervous spells. acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine.
 This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu tralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of ir- ritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders

STREET RAILWAYS USE WEEKLY PASS SYSTEM
Claim It Does Away With Much
 Former Confusion

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 13.-(By Associated Press. s.)-Thirty- five street railway companies in this country are using the weekly pass system. by number of weekly rides for amounts ranging from $1 to S1.75.
 Cities reported as using the pass were Kenosha and Racine, Wis, Ma son City, Cedar Rapid and Muscatine, Ia. New Brighton. Pa, Aurora. El- Moline and Rock Island, H., New AL baBy, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute Ind, Fort Smith, Ark, Alliance, O., Tacoma, Wash, Houghton, Mich, Gainesville, Ca, Everett, Seattle (in- terurban line)S and Bellingfam, Pomona, Cal, Pine Bluff. Ark, As- tora, Ore, Dayton. O., Franklin. Meadville, Tarentum and Ofl City, Pa. San Diego, Ca, Peekskill, N. Y, Springfield, Mo, and Colorado Springs, Colo.
 qualified success the committee was unable to say. It did report, how ever, that the pass had reduced the cost of rides per passenger, but that it had increased the number of rides 1t has been particularly helpful in reducing jitney competition, the re- port declared.
 "Everywhere that the pass has been put into use. so far as the jit- ney evil is concerned, there has been immediate Improvement in cendi- tions," the report said "The other pre- eminent advantage is that the pass and permit everywhere seem to have created better sentiment to- ward the companies employing the experiment."
 Other general advantages pointed out by individual companies. but not declared by the committee, to be uni versally true, were speeding up op- eration, avoiding arguments over fares stimulating rides in non-rush hours and reducing work for train men.
 Twenty-one cities reported the cost per ride per passenger under the pass to be from a minimrm Of 4.o to a mixamum of 8.64 cents. Before the pass was introduced, the range In these same cities was from mimi mum of cents to maximum of s.e2 cents.
 Youngstown, O., abandoned the pass at the request of It's street rail- way commissioner, who wished to charge a flat fare.
 The pass idea was brought here from England in 1919, one company trying it that year

sons of Ireland who fought to achieve the independence of their country, Raditch from that time never ceased the struggle for the freedom of his countrymen. He was a constant thorn in the side of the Belgrade government, which both feared and respected him. After warning him many times against his radical utterances, the cabinet had him arrested, but soon ordered his release when his supporters threat ened a revolution.
 Raditch is sometimes described as the Mystery Man of Europe, and he has always been an enigma even to the Serbs, who variously call him charlatan, scoundrel and lunatic. But none of these epithets is regarded by outsiders as just, for the Croatian leader had behind him the whole of his little nation.

DREAM STREET" IS A
 CHARMING SCREEN STORY

D. w. Griffith comes to us again
 with a new production which has been acclaimed work of art and the most | unusual story of symbolic love and TO- nance. This new Griffith work is Dream Street, It will be seen at the Liberty Theatre for tonight and tomorrow night. Dream Street" has been called a dramatic comedy. The characters were suggested by those of Thomas Burke in his I4ihemouse stor- ies. While they may be from Gina of Chinatown. and .'The Sign of the Lamp" still these characters are found in all the corners of the world where romance, love and beauty hold sway. They gaze through wistful windows out on their Street of Dreams and one cannot help loving them as they pass along lifes high way amid their tragedies and come dies of existence.
 There are three pe:sonages stand
 ing out like classic models of great art. They are Gypsy Fair, ''Spike" McFadden and his brother, ''Billie." This trinity of youth evolve the tense and teeming story of Dream Street" They fascinate with spell akin to the haunting harmony of a great aria and they are not without their effec- ! tive moral to the adorned tale of their
 loves and romances. Gypsy is mu- sic hall dancer. Spike" and Billie McFadden are of the district of the docks. Spike" is handsome and is mighty with his fists, but he also has golden voice that captures the girls. ! They fall in love with Gypsy after seeing her dance. Evil days fall upon them through a series of complica- tions and murder brings them to the attention of the police. Sway Wan. a great Chinese gambler also desires the girl and so he plots to attain his end. In the symbolism of the story there comes forth the Good one, typ flied by a Street preacher and an Evil influence shown through the nomadlc violinist, who charms under the spell of music and causes wickedness to temporary triumph.
 Carol Dempster is Gypsy Fair, while Ralph Graves and Charles Elm met Mack enacts the roles of the Me- Fadden borthers. There is specially arranged musical score.

As evil dence that this state of affairs exists they point to the pussy willow which is now budding along the streams of the valley.
