PAGE FOUR NEW METHODS ARE FOUND TO DETECT CANCER Use of Radium and X-Ray in Many Case* Delays Growth of Dreaded Disease Two new methods of diagnosing or detecting internal cancer in its early stages are reported from Eu rope. While biologists and bio-chemists are working to discover the funda mental nature and cause of can cert, surgeons and physicians are of necessity concerned chiefly with treating cancer when it occurs. An external caneer is readily dis covered. But an internal one is far more dificult to detect. Since at present the success with which medical men can combat a cancer is in direct ratio to the earli ness with which it is discovered, it can be seen at once why the new European advances are so import ant. The first method of diagnosis is the work of Dr. Kotzareff and Keyl of Geneva, Switzerland. They have discovered that if a dilute solution of serum containing radio-active substances in a collooi-, dal or pasty state is injected into a, patient suffering from cancer, a peculiar phenomenon takes place. ] For some unknown reason, al Ithe radio-active substance becomes lo callized in the cancer growth. If a sensitive photograph plate ( is then exposed for some hours over | the suspected part of the body, the ( outline of the cancer is found upon | the plate as a result of the action of ' the radio-active substance. The second method of diagnosis! has been worked out by Dr, Bothel-, ho of the so-called Hotel Dieu, the famous hospital near Notre Dame in 1 Paris. This method, it seems, does not give the exact location of the cancer growth but merely indicates a can cerous condition in the patient. In this test some of the blood se rum from the patient is mixed with dilute nitric acid and an iodine reagent. If the patient is normal Dr. Bothelho says that the serum re mains clear. If the patient has can cer. the serum becomes cloudy. Concerning the treatment of can cer, early surgery, according to the statement of Dr. Erwin F. Smith president of the American Associa tion for Cancer Research, still re mains the best treatment. Dr. Smith adds, however, that the use of radium and X-ray in many cases delays the growth of cancer and in some cases seems to have effected cures. In the case of these cures, Dr. Smith thinks it is too early yet to say whether the patients have been permanently cured. Dr. Smith also issues a warning about the use of radium and X-ray, In the hands of incompetent work ers. he says. They are “deadly weapons’.” COLORFUL CAREER OF BABE’ ADAMS, PIRATE PITCHER (Continued from Page On°‘ has ont the stamina of old but his courage and skill remain. Babe has had a notable career. Born in Tipton, Ind., in 1882, he went with his father to Mt. Moriah, Mo., in early life. His father was a tiller of the soil and so was Babe until his work for his home town Haymakers came to notice. The Parsons team of the Missouri Valley League picked him up in 1905 and he won 30 out of4o games, enough to attract theh attention of the St. Louis Cardinals. After spending half of the season on a St. Louis bench he was sent to Louisville and thence to Denver. In the Colorado capital he became a hero, with 38 victories out of 50 games, and Pittsburgh snatched him away for a short trail in 1908. Then again he went to Louisville and pitched so well that he came back to the Pirates GET AT THE CAUSE Many Americus Folks Are Showing- How to Avoid Needless Suffering There’s nothing more annoying than kidney weakness or inability to properly control the kidnev secre- ■ tions.

Pledged by the 1917 constitution to deliver back to the 12 million dispossessed peons land enough to feed their families, four govern ments—htose of Carranza, de la HUertja, Obregon and Calkes have undeartaken something never before conceived in the western hemisphere on a big scale. That is to break up by due pro cess of law the great baranial es tates that sprawl over this land and to move back to co-operative farm villages the native Indians and Spanish-Indians who for years have been little better than slaves. The process of wining out feud alism in one stroke has raised a cry among the big hacienda owners, na tive and foreign born. The Asociation of American Own ers of Land in Mexico, claiming to represent "some scores of millions of dollars invested,” is pamphleteer ing the states from its New York office, calling the program cor.fi catory, and more than 500 official complaints have been filed with the American embassy complaints without doubt, justifiable from the investors’ point of view. The plan is the live nerve cen ter of Americo-Mexican relations and if early trouble comes between the two republics, it will probably come from the land clauses in arti cle 27 and the administration of the essentially radical land laws. When the Spanish conquistadores landed here they found the pastoral Indians tilling their fields in little communes surrounding the pueblos. The viceroys by royal grant left the peasants in possession of their j - ommunal lands. These were called I “funda legal” and later “ejidos.” With the further invasion of the Spaniards and later of Diaz’s for-1 eign looters the Mexican natives found themselves pushed off their ancestral fields into villages where they were forced to live squalor and work the masters’ fields in vir tual slavery. It is said that no such jland! monopoly has existed in the world. Before the last revolution estates as big as whole American states were owned by single families. Although n opayments have ac tually been made, the Calles govern ment does not propose to expropri ate land illegally. An order for the issuance of 50 million pesos in bonds has been signed by the president.

The price paid will be. the taxed value of the land plus 10 per cent, a policy rue fully deplored by many of the big haciendadoes whose tax bills in “the good old Diaz days” were as small as their acres were broad. In cases where the peasants have been able to produce the old parch rt. nt grant of the king of Spain, the land was taken without repara tino, the grant being considered evidence that the land was secured by fraud . To date some 2,500,000 acres have been restored to the peons, mcluding the land belonging to the ■state under the terms of the old 1857 constitution. This land bor ders the sea and frontiers and was found to be held illegally by the land-owners. Thus at America’s door has be gun a history-making program to right the ancient wrongs of lowly millions.

ALL RUN DOWN, NOW HEALTHY “Honestly, in all my 15 years of experience as a nurse I have never known of a medicine tjhat compares with Tanlac,” is the glowing tribute of Nurse M. E. Chappelle. “Time and again I have recom mended Tanlac and always with surprising results. Some time ago my mother complained of being generally run down and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She had no appetite, her stomach was disordered, digestion weakened ar.i bowels were most irregular. “Tanlac came to her aid at once, brought on a vigorous appetite so that she began to eat with the ejeaitest relish, and made the di gestive organs [function propierly once more. In a short time she was well, happy and strong, and al though over 80 years of age she is now vigorous enough to look after her household duties and go out quite a little, too. This is why I praise Tanlac and consider it the best tonic and health builder ever discovered.” What Tanlac has done for others it can also do for you. Tanlac Is for sale by all good druggists.
