RADIUM FAILS AS
CURK FOR CANC LR j
NKW YORK. Dec. 17.—After ex
haustive tests the use of radium as a
i ure for cancer and tumors has been
found to be a failure, according to
the annual report of Dr. Francis
Carter Wood, head of the Crocker
cancer research fund of C olumbia
university, made public tonight. For
cases on which operation is not pos
sible radium is successful as a palli
ative only, the report states.
“It is unquestionably possible to
prolong life in a few instances, Hr.
Wood says, “and to make the patients
more comfortable by the employment
of large quantities of radium. On
the other hand, it is equally certain
that the use of small quantities, say
twenty to fifty milligrams of radium
element, often results in a rapid ex
tension of the tumor, so that the pa
tient’s condition is worse than if he
had been left alone.’’—Kx.

J. P. SHERMAN WILL HAVE
SKIN TAKEN FROM HIM
GRAFTED ON DAUGHTER
FAIRBANKS, Dec. 18.—J. P.
Sherman, the father of Irene, the
little girl who was so badly burned a
short time ago, will have the skin
removed from his own body so that it
may be grafted on his daughter’s
arms and neck. The operation will
take place within a few days at St.
Joseph’s hospital.
Irene is the only remaining one of
the children who were in the Sherman
home when it caught fire. As a result
i.f burns sustained in the same fire
two other children have died: James
Sherman, the ten-months-old brother
of Irene, and Mary Porter, the four
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. i
F. J. Porter. For several daysj
Irene's life was despaired of, but she
has shown gradual improvement all
along, and a short time ago it was
announced that she had excellent
chances for recovery. If the opera
tion which is to be performed is sue
cessful it will have the effect of
greatly improving her condition, and
will probably eliminate most of the
unsightly scars that would otherwise
disfigure her as a result of the
burns..—Fx.

MAN KILLED BY

FAIRBANKS, Dec. 16.—William
Lloyd, a young man of Tanana, was
instantly killed yesterday while work
ing on a wood saw. Advice to this
effect were received by the district

engine, and the flywheel broke, a
fragment of it striking him in the
head. Death was instantaneous. —Ex

WIIAT HAPPENED
IN YAKATAT
(Skagway Alaskan)
A communication received from
Yakatat this morning, contains a
paragraph which for news is a hum
dinger, and conveys in part, the writ
er states, the happenings there of in
terest to the outside world:
This place or rather at the cannery
was lively last fall and although a
marshal was here, more beer was
made* and I am afraid more whiskey’
sold than ever before. He was taken
a,vi.y in October. Jim Blaine, as you
saw in the papers did a cutting up
scrape. Tom Smith did nearly as bad
at Setuck in October, John Yamatoee
blew his brains out at the cannery
three weeks ago and drink (beer)
was the cause of it. Tom Smith got
six months and Mr. Olsen took him
down ten days ago as he had to at
tend court. A week ago yesterday
our people went to Setuk to a potlach
given by the Dry Bay Indians, and a
boy, Johnny Bremner, fell off the
bridge and was drowned and now
1 several of our young ones are sick
with the measles. Quite a lot for a
small community like this.
