Improved Cattle

When a railroad first put on fast
expresses, there was much trouble
with ranch owners whose stock
strayed onto the tracks and were
killed. And, without fail, when a
steer lost its life, the owner put
in a claim for damages on the
basis of a valuable, pure-blooded
animal.
In desperation the president of
the railroad called in a famous
attorney for consultation. The
lawyer examined all the records
and reported as follows:

that nothing improves the strain
of Oklahoma cattle so much as
crossing them with a locomotive. "

surgery should give way to irradi-

Although only about Is per cent

About 10 per cent of the advanced

In Massachusetts,, he said, his

lung which were free of infec-

Through a new technique, he
said, surgeons now can remove 10
separate segments of the lung,
separately or in combination with
other Segments. In most cases
requiring surgery, however, he
said, doctors still use the radical
operations to remove entire lobes
