Rival of Radium Is Found,
'Birmingham, England, Aug.
12.—Radium, welcomed only a
few years ago as without a par
allel in the realms of scientific
discovery, has a rival. Already
its fame is being challenged by a
cheaper substance which is. be
lieved to possess all its wonder
ful properties. So said Mr. Dean
Butcher, in an address to one of
the sectional meetings of the
British Medical Association’s
Congress.
“Happily,” he declared, “in
treatment of malignant growth
by election bombardment we are
no longer restricted to the use
of bid one radio-active sub
stance.
“The recent work of Dr. Hahn
has shown that some of the de
rivatives of thorium—especially
mesothorium—are even more
active than radium. We may
hope that in a short time we
may be in posession of a radio
—active substance which is not
only much cheaper, but also
much more plentiful than its ri
val.” 1 ••-«*• m*-** ***■
The lecture was amazing from
the layman’s point of view. Mr.
Butcher talked of quantities
which not only defied measure
ment, but were too small even to
be thought about by the untrain
ed mind.
He spoke of the machine unit
—the quantity of radio-activity,
which causes a leak of one
thousandth of an electrostatic
unit per second.
“Some idea of the smallness of
this quantity,” he said, “may be
as to require very
little lard, yeast or
yeast powder. Hence,

“wheaty” taste o f

gathered from the fact that an 1
atmosphere of one macho unit j
per litre contains one part of
emanation in 500,000,000,000,
000 parts of air.”
Another Fined For Swearing.
John Roe answers also to the
name of Cotton, found “cuss
ing” somewhat costly in New
port when he was fined $10 dol
lars in the mayor’s court Mon
day.
It was testified by the only
witness that Roe did his cursing
in front of a hotel when the
knife which was taken frow him
tn a previous difficulty was not
given to him on his demand.

W. I. Hall R. F. D. 2, Newport,
Ark., says ‘T have never lost an
opportunity during the past six
years to praise and recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills for what
they have done for me as well as
other members of my family.
They have made such complete
cures of kidney trouble that it
has not been necessary for us to
take them or any other kidney
medicine during the past three

No Interest For Judges.
Special to Independent,
i Little Rock, Aug. 11.—The
| circuit judges of Arkansas who
I were relieved by the last legis
j lature, by a bill making an ap
| propriation to pay them back
! salaries, will receive no interest
on the back accounts, even
! though a sufficient amount was
■ appropriated to pay legislators
no doubt provided for the pay
ment of interest, but they did
> not say so in the bill, which
; states specifically the appropri
ation is for salaries, and Audi
; tor Jobe declines to pay interest.
Loss of Time Means Loss Of
Pay.
Kidney trouble and the ills it
breeds means lost time and lost
pay to many a working man.
M. Balent, 1214 Little Penna St.,
Streator, ID., was so bad from
kidney and bladder trouble that
he could not work, but he says:
“I took Foley Kidney Pills for
only a short time and got en
tirely well and was soon able to
go back to work, and am feeling
well and healthier than before.”
Foley Kidney Pills are tonic in
action, quick in results—a good
friend to the working man or
woman who suffers from kidney
ills.—W. E. BEVENS.
Hog Again The Issue.
Special to Independent,
Little Rock, Aug. 11.—The
four legged hog is going to have
another day in Waldo. Some
time ago the people of Waldo
had an election and voted the
hog out of the town limits. The
city council now desires to pass
an ordinance repealing the ac
tion of the voters, and objection
has been raised bv one of the
progressive citizens, who has ap
pealed to Attorney General Nor
wood for a legal opinion in the
matter.
Attorney General Norwood
says there is nothing binding in
the town election and the coun
cil can act as it sees fit, which
means it can repeal the hog law
if a sufficient number of the
council favor its repeal.
Hay Fever, .Asthma and

1034 Wolfram St. Chicago,
writes: “I have been greatly
troubled during the hot sum
mer months with Hay Fever and
find that by using Foley’s Honey
and Tar Compound I get great
relief.” Many others who suf
fer similarly will be glad to
benefit by Mr. Stewart’s ex
perience.—W. E. BEVENS.
