SEES COLORS AS CURATIVES
Physician Tells Convention Meaning
of Various Tints
New York, June 1(1. Medicnl ex
perts' estimates of the number of
deaths from enncer in the United States
in lftin plnce the figure at 100,000 and
the number of persons afflicted with tho
disease nt present nt ."00.000, Dr. Fred
erick Dugdale, of Roston, n vice presi
dent of the Allied Medical Associations)
of America, snul je.sterdoy nt the or
ganization's ninth nuuunl convention
here. Cure is possible, lie said, if the
exciting entices are removed and the
predisposing fuctors properly treated.
The tii'tit incut of disease by color
waves was demonstrated by l)r. Din
shnh R. Ghndinli. op-New York, who
said that scientists were mistnkeu when
they believe the three primary coIoi-h of
the spectrum to b. red, ellov nnd bluo.
Red, green nnd violet are the colors,
ho contended, asserting that is proven
by tho fact only a combination of those
colors will produce white.
Explaining how the colors operate in
restoring health, he snid that drugs
function by disengaging the colors com
posing them into the body. Thus, a
person suffering from malaria fever,
takes quinine, the blue wave of which
quinine is composed, be said, driving the
fever out and curing the patient.
Light is as much an element of life ns
food, Doctor Gliadiali deelnred. In this
theory, red represents anger; yellow,
mentality i green, humility; blue, iutui
tiou; violet, spirituality; magenta,
love; lemon, pride; orange, jealousy;
turquoise, dignity; indigo, benevolence;
purple, veuerntiou ; .scarlet, lust.

Washington, June 10. A stampedo

the nomination of Governor Cox, -of
Ohio, or n "dark horse," Is the
forecast for the San Francisco conven
tion rather favored by the Democratic
wiseacres of Washington, who nrc get
ting ready for the trip West. It Is
genemlly conceded unless Mr. McAdoo
goes over with an enrly rusli of unln
st runted delegates, the convention may
settle into a deadlock beside which the
Chicago convention will pale into in
significance. With only two states remaining
which hne not selected delegates to

of n total of 1002 have been instructed
and those .".OS delegates nro tinder in
