TREATMENT
'PUB RADII
IS ABANDONED ENTIRELY
LONDON HOSPITAL.
IN
RELIEVES PAIN NO MORE
Experts Devoting Energies to Per
fecting Device to Use Roent
gen Rays.
London, March 23. The radium
treatment for cancer has been aban
doned entirely at the cancer hospital.
It never was viewed with much hope
there, and a few days ago the last
unsuccessful experiment with it was
made.
According to the Daily Mail the
trials were made at the end with a
case containing five grains covered
only with mica sheeting, probably
the largest piece of radium in any
hospital in Europe, and the effect Avas
always the same, though it might vary
in a degree. The surface of the
skin became inflamed, a blister form
ed and dried up, but that was all.
Sixteen cases have been under treat
ment, the longest period of a single
application having been three hours
and the longest total time of applica
tion having been about twenty-five
hours, and the only favorable result
has been an occasional cessation of
pain. On the other hand, several pa
tients have complained of an increase
of pain.
The authorities of the cancer hospi
tal are noAv devoting all their money
and time to improving the high fre
quency treatment, especially as re
gards the enormous waste of electric
al power which distinguishes the
present use of the Roentgen rays. A
current of 200 volts is to be trans
formed into a fifty volt current and
this again reduced without Avaste to
a twenty-five volt current, the latter
being the pressure used in the pres
ent application of the rajs for cases
of internal cancer.
Experiments are being made with
certain new lamps which can be in
serted into a cooling tube containing
water and then introduced into the
body. Both these and the new elec
trical machinery will, however, re
cmire several weeks to perfect.
REVIVAL MEETINGS.
A large and deeply interested au
dience listened to Evangelist T. J.
Legg at the Christian chureh last
night. His subject was "Christian
Baptism." It was a notable sermon
on that much misunderstood subject;
but the most remarkable thing about
it was that the speaker did not once
state his own views, but simply pre
sented the New Testament teaching
on the question.
Two persons made the confession at
the close of the sermon.
"An Infallibly Safe Course" will
be Mr. Letnr's subject tonisrht at
7:30.
Several persons will be baptized at
the close of the service tonight.
REVIVAL SERVICES.
At the revival services this evening
at 7:30 o'clock at the First Methodist
Episcopal church Evangelist C. Fen
wick Reed will deliver a lecture, in
which he will propound "Some Plain
Truths About, the Dance.' '
Mr. Reed will continue to preach
each afternoon at 2:30 and evening
at 7:30 for the remainder of this
week.
A. J. Pickett who has been confined
to his home for the past five weeks
by sickness, was out on the streets
yesterday and looks as though he
were good for many more years.
PSYCHOLOGICAL.
The cat and the infant sat upon the
heart-rug and regarded each other
long and seriously.
The cat's attitude was that of pure
contemplation her look as one whose
rtde it is neither to ask nor answer.
The infant mind plainly struggled
with a. thought of which the outcome
was presently this profound question:
"Does a cat know she's a cat?"
CRITICISM.
"A rich man is subject to a great
deal of criticism."
"Yes," answered Mr. Dust iij .Stay.
"He is liable to he criticised fUst for
4U ; t. i . . .
mi? iimiiiici in which jie trets ins mon
ey and next for the manner in which
he gives it away."

tion was received yesterday and will

holiday. The petition sent to . the
school board follows:
"To the Board of Education of the
City of Anderson. '
"Gentlemen: We, the undersigned,
clergymen of Anderson, deeply sen
sible of the honor due the anniversary
of the day upon which the Christian
salvation was secured, by the death
upon the cross of our most Holy Re
demer, respectfully ask that you dis
miss the schools on Good Friday,
April 1st, that our children may at
tend upon divine worship on that day
without suffering the disabilities or
penalties usually consequent upon ab
sence fi-om a school session."
