"Lupus I not common In America, though well known nnd dreaded on the other side of the Atlantic. It Is a form of tuberculosis, not of the lung, but of the surface, ami Flnsen de stroy It by subjecting hi pntlent to tho purely chemical rnys. Ill rny have not been made to penetrate deep ly enough a yet, however, to be effi cacious In tuberculosis of the lungs. "Just .bow much progress can ba made with similar treatment no one knows a yet. In London and Paris, In Berlin and Vienna, In Copenbagen and New York, Investigators nre studying the effect of the blue light nnd tho ultra-violet ray under varying circum stance. They are also experimenting with various lenses nnd other media through which to pass the light. "There have been ninny experiment with tho X-rays Jn fighting cancer, but these have not been successful, except In auperflclnl cases. Even then the ray have not been of much greater. If any, more benefit thnn the plan of craping out the bed of tho nicer and osing caustics. "The knife still remains the last re ort for well-developed cancer. Even It falls when the disease Is of such long standing as to allow thorough distri bution of the disease through tho sys tem. "There Is promise In the Immense ac tivity now being displayed In the bac teriological research. While It ha not led to the discovery of remedies In a great number of Instances, It has laid bare tho causes of evcjMl disorder to which tho flesh Is heir. In this way It hn led the proferslon closer nnd closer to the plan of assisting nature In building up the power of resistance and the adoption of the simplest treat ment possible." New York Now. WORDS OF WISDOM. The best things eoft least. Leniency is the law of love. The dutiful are the beautiful. Your strength is GoJ' call to er vice. Man' progress reveals t!od' pur pose. A hard head may go with a tender heart. He offends mercy who depends on merit. It is doing the right In the dark that la alway bard. The brave man la not afraid of being called a coward. The outer act 1 the gauge-class of the Inner character. There are no places for spectator . In life's grand game. Only the lnslgnl.lcant man count anything a Insignificant. Some people complain becauie It cost an egg to get a chick. Watching other Is often an attempt to hide our own weaknesses. The attempt to be a good fellow baa often prevented being a good man. The wind of word will not carry the flying machine of pride over the wai.s of repentance. Ram' Horn, Logte of Adrertliln. There are two way of looking at ad vertising, say the Saginaw New, both of them right Advertising hould ba done during the dull time for the pur pose of stirring up trade at that time, and also for the sake of the benefit which will come from being continually before tbe public eye. A man should just as quickly think of stopping his advertisements in the summer or in tbe dull time after the holiday a be should, tblnk of closing up bis store several month in tbe year aud keeping it open only wbeu trade would keep blm busy. It doe not take people very long to forget things, and 'if a store were closed up four months or tbe advertis ing stopped four months, a treat many people would have forgotten that tbe business wa in existence. Tbe other view of advertising is that it ought to be pushed during tbe busy time when tbe people are ready to buy. Advertising cannot be expected to fell goods when people don't want them, and it will be nuturany most ef fective when It gives publicity to some desirable article at Just tbe rifc'ht time. To be Bine, advertising will sell any thing, at any time, if the price be made low enough aud tbe advertisement suf ficiently attractive. Some lines of goods can be forced, and some can not, but even those which cannot be forced should not be allowed to drop jut of lsht. Keep tip your ad vertising during the summer and you will not uuly profit by It iu tha fall, but you wnm.'tr taUe will also show a ina koa .
