8 rHH COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUTJ, THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, I' A. THURSDAY, APJtl Ii 11)0!). Doctors Dubious of Tuberculosis. Phyticiant Will, However, Give New Dotg Treatment Fair Consideration. What in London is supposed to be a new and simple cure for tuber culosis, said to have been discov ered by William Doig after ten years ot experiment and study, is now being tested by some of the most eminent physicians of England, and is receiving the con sideration of the medical profession of this and other countries. In theory, an artificial ulcer is formed upon the surface of the body nearest the organ or mem brane affected. A radius of inflam mation is induced from the diseased part to the surface of the skin. Many cases of consumption, tub erculosis of the lungs and tuber culosis of the joints are said to have been cured permanently in from four to six months by the Doig method of treatment. Experiments covering ten years of practice, it is said, have given the discoverer sufnci?nt scientific data to assure him that it will undergo the most rigid tests of medical science, and arrangements are now being mr de that the new cure may be officially tested and given to the world for general use. In speaking of the Doig treat ment, Dr. James M. Anders, vice president of the Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, said: ' As the theory is stated by the press dispatches it is absurd. The theory does not fit the facts for tuberculosis. Before it is denounced, however, I should favor an inves tigation by a commission." Dr. S. Solis-Cohen placed little importance in the new discovery. He said: ' "The articles which have so far appeared in the press could net have been written by any one con versant with the pathology of tub erculosis. Science is systematized knowledge, and there can be no scientific opinion about a thing which is kept secret. Tuberculosis is not susceptible to miraculous cures. The use of Setons, an old method upon which the Doig cure apparently is based, is useful in exceptional cases, but as a routine treatment it could only be harmful. This is only a general statement, liowever, and docs not refer es pecially to the Doig treatment. But the fact tliat William T. Stead stands sponsor for this cure does not give it a great deal of weight o those familiar with his propen iity for indorsing cancer fakers and oatent nostrums.

Take Hail's Family Pills for con . 'p.ition. Up to the Governor. Unless Governor Stuart ignores the record of the coerced will of a bare majority of the members of the legislature and interferes in behalf of decency, the most shame less outrage of machine domination will be perpetrated upon the people of Pennsylvania. We refer to the adoption of the resolution direct ing the bo.irJ of public grounds and buiUiings to place the statue of Ou iy in the rotunda of the capi lol, says the Harr sburg Indepen dent. It is not known what the govt rnor will do whether he will approve the resolution or veto it; wl: ether he will conclude that the burden of responsibility rests upon the Ugishture and so approve it or whether he will regard it as his duty to veto the resolution because it is unpopular. The foxy gentleman who intro duced the measure put it in the shape of a resolution which could be pussed by n majority of a quor um instead of a majority of all the members elected. That exposeithc dishonesty that lies at the bottom of this whole affair. It is true that the record of the house shows that 104 members voted for the resolu tion - or a majority of the whole house but in other circumstances the recorded vote might have been different. The machine whips dared not put the measure in the shape of a bill and introduce it before the closing hours of the session and give the people an opportunity to record their protests. Instead it was sneaked into and cudgeled , through the legislature. i The people are as much opposed o tins business now as tuey were three years ago and two years ago, : when the legislature dared not take any action in the premises, and if Governor Stuart be guided solely by their voice he will veto tl at resolution as one of his great est and most commendable acts in defence of the people and in conser- ation of bis own clean and able administration of the government that long had Deeded a man of his character in the executive office. Surface Caves at Pittston. The subsidence of the surface over the workings of the Clear Spring colliery at West Pittston, which has been in progress for the past two weeks became serious last Monday. Even the miners became alarmed and refused to enter the mine. Work was suspended at the Vul can Iron Works, one of the town's eading industries, the buildings having been disturbed during the night. Dozens of cracks appeared in the walls of the new $30,000 ad dition recently built at the Vulcan works. It is the opinion of mine experts that all the affected area, more than 100 acres, has dropped from ten to fifteen inches. The interior cav ing is in the Red Ash or bottom vein, and the Clear Spring officials say that from 40 to 45 per cent of the coal has been left in the pillars of this vein for support, although the coal lease authorizes the com pany to mine two-thirds of the coal. This bottom vein, since abandoned, has been filled with water, and in the opinion of min ing authorities the water has weak ened the pillars. Eclipsed. I sat behind her in the pew, I saw no choir nr preacher: A monstrous hat eclipsed my view, Worn by a tender creature. The speaker's speech 1 faintly heard in somewhat broken measure; The broad brim flare before me bleared And blotted out all pleasure.

Made to Derail Expres Near Bloomsburg. I For the third time in as many 1 weeks, an attempt was made last Monday night to wreck a passen ger train on the Snnbury division t of the Pennsylvania Railroad. ! Harry W. 'and A. W. Shuman, of . Bloomsburg, were walking along the tracks near Espy, when they I found a large bolt fastened to the . ties and lying across the rails. As a freight had passe 1 less than an hour before, it is evident the bolt was placed on the track to wreck the express train. About a week ago fish plates were found spiked to the track near Miffiinville, and a short time before a railroad tie was found across the track near Nanticoke. DC YOU FEEL LIKE THIS?

A M. will have charge of these dedicatory ex ercises, and will also arrange for the street parade and other feat ures. Every uniformed organiza tion in Scranton will be invited to participate in the parade. HOW MINES MAKE TOWNS. Butte Built in More Ways Than One on a Square Mile of Copper. The history of American mining towns presents many examples of the determining effect of mineral depos its. Butte. Mont., Is a city of 62, 000 Inhabitants supported by copper underlying about one square mile of land surface. The metal forms the sole rnlson d'etre of this considera ble settlement, fcr In other respects the region Is unattractive and un productive; without the mines the locality would support with difficulty population of 100 souls. The mineral deposits of Nevada occur lieneath strips of land a few hundred feet In width and in the midst of a hopeless desert, but they ave formed plausible pretext, says Harper's Magazine, for adding a Stale to the Union and two Senators o Congress. The decline of the oops has now reduced Virginia City to a population of 2,500. as acalnst 11,000 in 18S0. when it was one of he busiest cities In America in the midst of a superlatively "booming" Stale. In 1900 Nevada was cred- tud with a population of 42,335 1 figure somewhat under that for 1870; thus this state, with an area twice that of New England, has less population thnn Waterbury, Conn. Tnrough the existence cf mineral products In close proximity. Pitta- burg has become the emporium for coal, petroleum and iron. Its caso differs, however, from the above, for its deelopment was far less arti ficial and Its destiny could never be that ot the regions already mention. id. Three navigable rivers converge nt this point; valleys sunk 'n a plateau provide natural routes for approach ing railways. Natural a:.d unnat ural access, it may be added, are con trasted at Pittsburg by -he fact that one railroad ha3 recently been forced to expend $:!5,000,000 to effect an entrance to the city by overcoming a minor geographic ob.stacle. White Brcnd 4he Best. According to chemical analysis of the Graham, en ire-wheat and stand. art! patent Hours milled from the st me lot of hard Scotch Fife wheat. the Graham four contained the IM&hest and the patent flour the lowest percentage of the total pro- teln (glutenous matter). But ac cording to tho resultj of digestion experiments with these flours, the i.ortlou of digestible protelr and available energy In the patent flour was larger than in either the entire wheat or tha Graham flour. The lower digestibility of the protein In the Graham flour is due to the fact that in both Graham and entire wheat flour a considerable portion cf the protein Is contained in the coarser particles of (bran), and so resists the action of the digestive Juices and escapes digestion. Thug while there actually may be more protein In a given amount of Graham or entire-wheat flour than in the same weight of patent flour from the same wheat, the uody obtains les3 of the protein and energy fronj the coarse flour than it does from the fine, because, although the including cf the bran and germ Increases the percentage of protein, It decreases the digestion.
