Shelby postoffice en route. It is
placed in a small glass of water,
from which a tiny glass tube
passes out into another room. The
radium gives off a vapor constanly
and this vapor is collected in small
tubes and carefully sealed. The
tubes containing the radium
emanation are applied to cancer
and it is this emanation that cures
the diseased tissues. Therefore it
is possible to carry the tubes many
miles and apply the treatment.
Some hospitals have a small quan
tity of radium and this is applied
directly to the infected part, but
there is danger of burning. The
stock of radium at Rutherford is
one of the most valuable in the
South. Aside from the value cf
the radium itself, it has been nec
essary to provide experience ap
paratus in connection with the rad
ium treatment and build a room in
which to keep the valuable prod
uct. The glass jar containing the
radium is in a metal safe securely
looked. There are walls after walls
of lead partitions and the radium
itself is not seen for two years.
At the end of this time a few
drops of water are added to re
place for evaporation. Scientists
say that radium will continue to
give off emanations and that half
of it will be left after 1,700 years,
i It is understood that there are
many patients waiting to come to
the hospital for the radium treat
ment when the physicians are
( ready to administer it. Remark
able cures have been perfected
even with internal cancer.
1 In addition to the radium which
has been added to the equipment
at Rutherford, Drs. Norris and
Biggs have installed an X-ray ma
chine, said to be the largest and
| most powerful in the entire South.
| This, too, involves a great expen
diture of money, but makes the
Rutherford hospital the best
equipped institution in the South
for operatives cases, cancer cure
and X-ray.

APPLES IN CLUSTERS
Writing from Lattimore, Mr.

have an apple tree of the rusty

in clusters. They range from one
to seven in a cluster. Most clus
ters have two to four apples. They
grow c!o?e enough to touch each
other."
