Brief on Cancer Wins Fame for New York Doctor Brother of Omaha Man Advo cates Prevention and Med ieal Cure Rather Than Surgeon's Knife. An interesting contribution to the medical fraternity's crusade against • sneer has been made by the brother of an fTntaha man, li. 1>. AN alker, 27S7 Capital avenue. Ill* brother, Dr. Charles H. Walker, who Is now in New- York, holds ft brief for tlic method of medical dietetic and hygiere treatment, instead of resort ing to the surgeon's knifr. His pro p. -tl is attracting the attention of medical men throughout the country. ‘'Undoubtedly there are many cases that are benefited hy the early appli cation of surgery when skillfully per formed,” declared Dr. Walker. '‘Ra dium treatment, promptly applied, without doubt, helps and cures can cer, but the great trouble with ra dium as It is now applied, is that it does not penetrate deep enough and in many cases it does not get at the scat of the trouble. Marly Diagnosis Important. ‘ The great thing is nil early and accurate diagnosis. Suseepttbiity to cancer. There is lways a deficient tain physical conditions that are ns the signpost along the road to the physician who h is made a study of cancer. (There is always a definelent functional activity of the kidneys shown and acute acidosis. Accom panying this is .a, lessened functioning of the liver indicated by the reduc tion of the bile raits, which are changed from sulphates and phos phates to sulphites and phosphites. The blood Is always deficient in oxy gen and Iron. A marked lowering of the hemaglobin index is observable. ' ‘These and other things constitute the precancerous conditions which can be discovered by the average med ical man long before the patient has progressed to the stage of the inop erable cancer. By- reading the signs, a medical man should Ire aide to pre vent cancer and this Is certainly far better Ilian submitting to the knife eventually." No Danger to Normal Body. r>r. Walker asserted that cancer j never developed in a normal physio I logical condition. "Therefore," lie i warned, "observe your condition and : when run down or fatigued seek at once to reestablish your normal physiological chemistry and you will have little to fear from rancor. If cancer has really begun bodily resto latlon will either cause it to retro grade, to disappear, or to remain qui escent. “All this means the proper correc tion of tho diet and hygiene and such medication as will bring about the normal functioning and activities of the various secretory glands. In addi i tion to the use of various tonics and digestives I have been getting the most satisfactory results through a preparation of selenium which Owes its therapeutic action to being a cata lyzer and Its marked affinity for oxy gen and iron and thereby probably forming a sileno-oxo-homaglobln rather than oxyhentaglobin in the blood. In some of the cases I havo treated by this method the results and benefit* have been truly remarkable both as to the relief of pain and as a prevent ive of a recurrence and the ameliora tion of the severe symptoms in inoper ative cases." Greater New York to Observe its Twenty-Fifth Anniversary New York.

AI»\ KBTISEMENT. TIRED, HERMES MOTHERS arc the direct cause of much unhappi ness in our homes; their condition ir ritates and wears upon the husband and often ruins a child's disposition. This condition of the mother is often due to some weakness which makes her entirely unfit to perform her household duties and bear the strain upon her nerves that governing chil dren Involves. Every woman who finds herself in this condition should lemember that statistics prove that AS out of every 100 women who suf fer from female ills are helped by J.ydia E.

For children and adulta1_J Daughter of “Lightnin”’ . , Creator Tells of Play | Vi Father Got Idea from An tics of Old Uncle, Says Bessie Bacon. If the walls of the old Burwood theater (now Gayety) were given the power of speech, they could tell of the I early efforts of many actors who have since gained fame. The Burwood Stock company would j not be slighted, for among its cast were Harold Lloyd, then doing juve nile roles; Charles Withers, who now heads big time vaudeville bills, and Lloyd Bacon and Llojd Ingraham, now noted movies directors. Most Interesting of all, perhaps, would be the intimate story these walls could tell about Frank Bacon, who for two seasons headed the com pany, and who died recently, the au thor and leading man of one of ; America’s most famous and success j ful plays, “Lightnin'.” Hark to Omaha. Perchance these walls also would ! spcalt of the gay young girl who did not take part in the stock company plays, but who often tripped into the But-wood during those two seasons. This girl, Bessie Bacon, daughter of Frank Bacon, has come back to Qma 1 ha ami is doing an important role in | her father's play. “Lightnin’ ”, said Bessie Bacon, "is based on the antics of an old uncle, i Morris McGrow. He was a tramp | printer, studied medicine as a young 1 man, later took up law, and then fol lowed none of these professions. "Uncle Morris traveled around visit ing his relatives and spinning yarns. He's dead now. but in Lightnin' Bill Joes X think he lives again. Before he had written •Lightnin,’ father used to say to mother, 'Morris would make a great stage character.’ He kept turning that thought over in his mind and finally began to write a lit tle about Uncle Morris. Five Years’ Work. •‘Eventually father began reading his play to producers. Some of them told him they didn't like it and he rewrote parts of it. Among those who turned it down was Georgie Cohan. 1 think father worked on it for at least five years. Then suc cess—due largely, I believe, to the ] fart that everyone w ho sees ’Light I nln' can point out some relative or acquaintance who is like Bill Jones.” Behind the scenes, Bessie Bacon, | who has done considerable writing House Committee Adopts Income Tax Law Amendment Washington. .Ian. 30.—(Special.)— The house ways and means committee adopted an amendment to the income tax provision governing the exchange of property which is regarded as only half way meeting th« desires of the Treasury department. As amended, the law stands as it was except that “stocks, bonds and securities’’ are es pecially excepted from tbe provisions of the law which say these, when property is bought for investment or productive purposes, may be ex changed for other property without payment of extra, income tax on the property exchanged and that for which it is traded. As the law was originally written, it held that property held for produc tive investment purposes might be ex changed. The Treasury department held this enabled speculators in stocks and bonds to take out their paper profits and exchange them for other securities, thereby escaping a proper tax payment. Republican Leaders Plan to Push Principal Bills Washington. Jan. 30. — With only five weeks intervening before final ad journment of congress, republican leaders of the senate yesterday deter mined to utilize every possible means to bring about passage of three prin cipal pieces of legislation, the Len root Anderson rural credits bill, the army appropriation measure and the pending shipping legislation. The first step in the development of this program was taken at yesterday's ses sion when Senator Lenroot, republican, Wisconsin, gave notice that he would propose ft unanimous consent agree ment to vote on the rural credits bill Wednesday. Should the agreement fail, it was said the republican leaders would, if necessary, resort to night sessions. Rockefellers Withdraw Auti-Saloon League Support New York, Jan. 30.—The financial support of John D. Rockefeller sr., and jr., has been withdrawn from the Anti Saloon league of New Y'ork state, it was learned yesterday after appear ance of Raymond D. Fosdyk, repre sentative of the Rockefellers, at the district attorney's Inquiry into the financial affairs of William H. An derson, state superintendent of the league. Nevada State Senate Votes to Repeal Dry Amendment Carson City. New, Jan. 30. — The senate of the Nevada legislature voted to repeal the Nevada initiative pro hibition amendment and also the leg islative prohibition act, which if con curred in by the assembly, would leave tho state with no prohibition law of its own. “Gay Lothario“ Who Deserted Bridc-to~Bc Says He ff as in Trance Chicago, Jan. 30.—John H. Land >•.,R:ln, 56. wealthy Chicagoan, say* the hoauty of Miss Georgle Dauphan of Marinette, Wis., threw him into a trance, a sort of “love amnesia’’ from which he was aroused by the wedding bells in a Marinette church, where he and Miss Dauphan were to ho married. With the awakening he realised what a mistake he was mak ing, left his beautiful bride-to-be wait ing at the church while he dashed madly to the nearest railway station and hastened back to Chicago. This was the explanation given by the “pay Lothar'o" today, in answer to a warrant sworn out by Miss Dauphan. The judge placed him under 51.000 bond and continued the case to h ebruaiy !>. u> give Landrigan time to prepare h s tight against extradi tion. for stage productions lierself. and who confesses to ambitions to do greater things, is Mrs. Mathew Al len. Like his wife. Mr, Allen feels at home in Omaha and Nebraska. When but a small boy attending grade school in Lincoln, Mr. Allen gained the friendship of S. C. Zeh rung. now mayor of Nebraska capi tal. Mr. Zehrung was then manager of the Oliver theater, and gave A1 len a job doing odd bits of work about the theater, lie also took the toy into his home. Awaits Reunion. Mr. Allen is manager of “Light nin'.” The fore part of next week "Lightnin' ” goes to Lincoln and Mr. Allen is looking forward to a visit with his benefactor, Mayor Zebrung. "I've been in New York most of the time for the last 12 years,” said Mr. Allen, "and I haven't seen much of Mr. Zehrung or Lincoln. The University of Nebraska football team does most to keep me in touch with the old home state. I saw the team beat Rutgers 2S to 0 in New' York a year or so ago and I always bet on it, generally winning my bets. I was treasurer of Capital Reach in Lincoln in 1911 and 1912, and have many acquaintances there." "Yes, it's really quite a homceom ing for us.” chimed in Bessie Bacon or Mrs. Allen, whichever you prefer. “By the way, it may interest you to know that my father, Frank Bacon, was somewhat of a Bill Jones him self. He took photographs and at one time ran the Montvicw (Cal.) Register, a w eekly‘paper." AOt KRTTSEMEN^.
