    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."

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. Pinkhnm’s Vegetable Com
pound. and lose no time in giving it
a fair trial.

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."

Costs Little and Overcomes Trouble
Almost Over N'iglit.
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho-Sul
phur, declares a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying prop
erties. this sulphur preparation in
stantly brings ease from skin irrita
tion, soothes and heals the eczema
right up and leaves the skin clear
and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the tor
ment without delay. Sufferers from
skin trouble should obtain a small
jar of Row lea Mentho-Bulphur from
any good druggist and use It like cold
cream.
