ARSENIC CURE
FOR CANCERS
DISCOVERED

ITHACA, N. Y, June 81 O.N.S).
Two remarkable recoveries from
Sarcoma, a type of cancer, through
use of arsenic, were reported to-
day by Prof. E. F. Burton. Of the
chemistry department Of the Uni
Versity Of Toronto. in a speech
here before the twelfth colloid
symposium Of the American Chem.
teal Society.
The experiments with arsenic
were conducted in collaboration
with DR.. A. c. Hendrick, also Of
Toronto University.
Two Women Cured
The cases cited by Prof. Bur.
ton were those of two young WON.
en-, aged II and %, stricken with
Sarcoma. In the case Of the
younger girl, a leg infection was
diagnosed as osteogenic sarcoma
by physicians in Winnipeg. with
amputation of the leg recon-
mended. An identical diagnosis
and recommendation had been
given by the Mayo Clinic in Roch-
ester, and at clinics in Montreal
and Toronto.
The arsenic treatments were be-
gun last October. Prof. Burton
said. A short time ago the pa
tient returned to her home in
Winnipeg, apparently quite cured.
She gained 20 pounds during the
treatments, and the diseased leg
has returned to normal appear
Ance.
The other case cited had been
diagnosed by three pathologiSts,
separately, as sarcoma. The pa
tient responded to none Of the
usual radium treatments and her
condition became aggravated.
After three to four morphine ar
senic injections, relief was evil
denced almost Immediately.
Now, after 16 months of treat
ments as prescribed by Burton
and Hendrick, the young woman
has completely recovered.
Thirty per cent of cancer is Of
the sarcoma variety, Prof. Burton
pointed out. The condition is
most prevalent among individuals
under 80, and generally leads to

T0WNSENDITE
VICTORIOUS IN
MICHIGAN

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Dec. Is
UN.SO. Democrats, who made
heavy inroads into the rock
ribbed Republican third Michigan
congressional district in the 1882
elections apparently were losing
some ground today after voters
in the area sent Werner w. Main,
a Republican, who vigorously in
dorsed the Townsend $2OO-a-
month old age pension plan, to
Congress in a special election yes
terday by a clear-cut, two-to-one
majority.
Meantime, national Republican
leaders we're weighing the results
of the balloting carefully to de-
termine, if they can, how many
votes represented a swing away
from President RooSevelt'S policies
and how many represented the
strength of the Townsendites.
Main, by winning, became the first
representative to be elected to Con-
gress from East Of the Mississippi
as an avowed supporter of the
Townsend program.
With complete returns from the
1877 precincts in the five-county
district, Main, 49-year-old Battle
Greek attorney and former State
Representative, polled 24,S37 votes
while his Democratic opponent,
Howard W. Cavanagh, also a Bat
tie Creek lawyer, received 1851.
E. G. Keifer, a Farmer-Labor
party nominee, trailed with only
326 votes.
In the last congressional race
Representative Henry D. Kimball
(RD of Kalamazoo was able to
poll only an 5000 majority in a
district which has been Repub-
lican for IS years. Representative
Kimball died in office-the fifth
Representative in a row to die in
office from the Third district
and the special election was neces-
sary to fill the vacancy caused by
his death.

SUNG SETS UP
JAP STATE

PETPING, Dec. 10 1NSO.
Fearing japanese military activ-
ity, Gen. Sung Cheh-Yuan ended
his indecision today and formally
inaugurated the Hople-Chahar
provincial political council, the
Semi-independent govern ment
which he heads under Japanese
influence.
General Sung was to have been
sworn in early this week, but he
postponed the ceremony after
violent anti-autonomy outburSt by
thousands of Peiping students
Monday.
Suddenness with which Sung
reacted to threats of Japanese re-
prisals against the demonstrations
was shown by the fact that he
ordered his eight nominees for
the council to come to the meet
ing we'll before 8 o'clock, and at
8 the council was organized.
After a short speech by the
chairman, the council decided to
meet once a week.
Reports reaching here today
said Japanese airplanes flew over
Kuyuan in Chahar Province and
dropped pamphlets with the ulti-
matum that Japanese anchukuan
troops would attack unless Chinese
forces withdrew. SO far there is no
confirmation of rumors that
bombs were dropped and casual
ties inflicted.
Kuyuan is in the siX-county area
that japanese militarists are urg-
ing should be annexed to Man
chukuo.
