DISCOVERY MAY MEAN
 MUCH TO SUFFERERS
 FROM THROAT DISEASE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2O.- A metal mirror that will eliminate most of the dangerous light and heat rays in treatment of throat dis eases by the new sunlight method has been developed by the U. $. bureau of standards, it was announc- ed today.
 Ultraviolet rays, beneficial to dis eased tissues when flashed into the throat in the new treatment, are re- flected better by mirrors made of the natural minerals, known as galena, molybdenite, pyrites and stibnite, two scientists of the bureau have determined.
 Previous experiments had been al most entirely with the metals and their alloys, but the results just an nounced are expected to open new spheres of usefulness and efficiency to throat specialists.
 The sulphide mirrors do not re fleet much of the infra-red and wis ible rays which frequently cause burns to diseased or delicate tissues in the sun sunlight treatment. Int mirrors are used in an instrumen known as the larygoscope. w. W Coblentz and c. w. Hughes, physi cists, conducted the experiments.

VICTIM APPEARS AS JUDGE
 SENTENCES "SLAYER" TO DIE

MILAN, Feb. 22.-A sensational in cident reminiscent of the Michael Arien stories occurred during a mur- der trial here recently.
 A young peasant named Sabatini was charged with murdering the To- cal butcher, and, although he vigor- ously denied that he had killed the butcher, he admitted that he had struck him during a quarrel, but had not seriously injured him. Testimony was submitted that the butcher had completely disappeared, and that it was apparent that Sabatini had dis posed of his body.
 The judge was in the midst of passing the death sentence upon Sa- batini, when a man rushed into the court room and announced that he was the supposedly dead butcher "Sabatini knocked me unconscious" he said "and for weeks afterwards was unable to remember what hap pened. I heard of this case today for the first time"
 The trial was abruptly suspended for evidence of Identification.

GOLD ROAD IS SOUGHT
B. C. TO PREVENT STAMPEDERS
 GOING IN VIA WRANGELl

VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 20.-The establishment of point of entry to the Dease Lake district on British soil and the construction of road is the proposa of the Stewart board of trade in representations to the Vancouver board of trade.
 Tn view of the impending rush to Dease Lake points, the advisabili- ty of establishing road communica- tion between Stewart and Tele- graph Creek a distance of approxi- mately 175 miles, is pointed out At present the only route available is via Stikine river from Wrangell during the period the river is navi gable. This is the most economical and direct route to the interior During the freeZe-up in the fall and the breakup in the spring the route is not available for transportation This means that the river route can only be used five months in the year.
 The route of the horse trail, which could be converted into a wagon road, has been investigated many times and has been used by pros pectors and trappers for many years. Recently two men 'mushed" over the whole route in five days
 Would Divert Travel
 The construction of this road, ac- cording to the Stewart board of trade, would be the means of divert ing a large proportion of the traffic entirely through British Columbia territory, and practically all of it during the time the Stikine river is unnavigable
 Without the construction of this road, it is argued at Stewart, the whole of the traffic between the sea- board and the Cassiar country will pass through Wrangell, Alaska, and the upbuilding of alien interests will result as it occurred at Skagway during the Dawson and Atlin activi- ties. The benefits accruing to the wholesale merchants of British Co., lumbia it is further stated, by the completion of this road would be inestimable
 The rush of prospectors into the Dease Lake District this spring will only be incidental to much greater activities and with added trans portation facilities known placer and mineral bearing ground will be ren- dered accessible.'
 For many years" says the Stew art letter, ''the country has lain dormant because of the difficulties of transportation, and with this re- moved new wealth will be produced and new markets created for the coast cities.

of the disease which has hitherto been nearly always fatal, was de scribed by Sir St. Clair Thompson, larynologist to King Edward, VII. Sanitorium, Midhurst, Sussex, in an address to the Royal College of Physicians.
 The chief methods employed are silence and whispers. By reduction of the voice to whispers fifty pa tients were cured. One-third of the patients in whom complete silence was enforced were cured. The silence treatment is more successful with women than with men because of the women's greater endurance and patience in the ordeal.

TAKE PART IN DUMPING 4,OOO BOTTLES
 OF LIQUOR INTO SEWER

MOUNT VERNON, Wn., Feb. 20.- Interested spectators at the big dumping act," when 4,000 bottles of confiscated liquor were emptied in the city sewer this afternoon, re- marked upon the willingness of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars dis played in their arduous task, assist ing Sheriff Tip Conn, Prosecutor Warren J. Gilbert and Judge J. M. Shields.
 For compensation the local com pany is to receive the proceeds of the bottle and junk sales, and with the funds received they are to pur- chase for the Mount Vernon volun- teer fire department an ambroline kit, one of the recent discoveries as an aid to sever burns. This kit will be open to the public free of charge to any person who might receive burns of painful nature. In sev- eral of the larger cities, it is related, where accidents from burns occur, they are frequently rushed to the fire stations for treatment by the ambroline kit, before being taken to the hospitals.
 Bronze presentation tablets will also be secured by the veterans to be placed on the cannon which are to be brought to this city Sunday from Fort Casey to be placed on the courthouse grounds for display pur- poses.

NEW SUBSCRIBERS WANTED

For the first time since 1915 The
Diamond State Telephone Company
has started to advertise for new sub
scribers. Within that time the num-
ber of telephones in this state has
increased 70 per cent, and the man
ufacturing and installation forces of
the Bell System here and elsewhere
have, for the most part, been kept
busy keeping pace with this growth.
Although this increase is continu-
ing and the first eight months of this
year shows a net increase of 557 in
the number of Bell telephones in
Delaware, officials of the company
believe that telephone development
in this state is still below what it
should be.
There are in this state but Ill
telephones for every 100 population.
New York has 1877 for every 100
persons, and Ohio has 1914. Iowa
leads the list with 22.4 for every 100
persons, Illinois has 20.4 and Mas
sachusetts 1872.
For Maryland, including the Dis
trict of Columbia, the figure is 14.7,
while the New Jersey figure is 1870
and that of Pennsylvania is 1871. |
The average for the United States is
14.1 telephones per 100 population.

COST OF BEEF CALVES
CUT BY USE OF RIGHT BULL

Buying a good herd bull is the
first step in growing better beet
calves at much less cost per pound,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. In common or native
COW herds, calves sired by pure-bred
bulls weigh on an average about 125
pounds a head more when 1 year
old than calves of the same age sir
ed by the average run of scrub bulls,
and they will sell for about 2 cents
pound more as stockers and feed
ers. Two-year-old steers sired by
good purebred bulls weigh on an
average about 200 pounds more a
head than steers sired by scrub bulls
and sell for considerably more as
stockers and feeders.
There is practically no difference
in the cost of feed for the two
classes of calves up to the yearling
age, but from that time on grades
develop more capacity and require
more feed than scrubs. The differ
ence in cost of feed, however, is a
very small item when the values are
taken into consideration. The big
difference lies in the type of bull
used.
Having selected a good bull, ne
should be the best-cared-for indi-
vidual in the herd. Not only should
he have special feed at times, but he
should be kept in a separate pad
dock or lot and should not have the
freedom of the herd except during
limited seasons of the year. Unless a |
special lot can be provided, some
of giving the bull exercise
should'be devised.
The bull should be well fed dur
ing all seasons, but especially so
just previous to the breeding season.
His ration may consist of roughages
mainly, but a small quantity of
grain also should be used. The exact
quantities of feed that should be
given depend largely upon the size,
lge, and individuality of the animal,
ind the ration must be varied ac-
'ording to requirements. As a gen.
raj rule excessive quantities of sill
Ige should not be fed to a bull do
ng heavy service. A safe rule to
ollow is to feed one-half as much
ilage as would constitute a full ra-
ion for an average COW.
