Commenting on the letters, Gov
ernor Gardner says: "It is both
amusing and interesting to see the
different conceptions of the duties
and powers of a governor. The ma
jority seem to believe that the gov
ernor ts all powerful and can do
anything and solve any problem. So
when other measures have failed,
I hey turn in final desperation to the
governor. But it* is all part of the
Job of being a governor, and 1 real

In connection with this. Governor
Gardner told of being met at his
homo in Shelby by one of his neg'-o
tenants with his family of 16 chil
dren, The negro explained his pres
ence this way:
"You see boss non,; of my children
have ever seen ‘the government,’ so
I thought I would bring them
around to see you.”
TREATMENT OF CANCER IS
IMPROVED BV NEW METHOD
London.- An important advance
In the treatment of cancer by X
rays, or radium rays, is described
In the current itsue of the British
Medical Journal.
It Is the result of research con
ducted at the Royal Northern hos
pital by Dr. S. Monckton Copeman.
Mr. Frank Cope. F. R. O. S„ and Dr.
Claude Gouldesbrough in the course
of the last two years
It depends essentially upon the
fact that certain chemical sub
stances which possess the quality of
"fourescence" (or glowing when ex
posed to light! appear to be able
Intensely to strengthen the de
structive notion of the rays. al
though they are harmless in them
selves.
The method employed is to paint
the growth with a solution of one
of these substances, usually sodium
fluorescln. In the case of deeply
seated growths, a solution of the
same chemical is injected into a
vein. This process is harmless and
no pain is caused. After an Inter
val of about two days the growth is
Irradiated.
Although this treatment is still in
the experimental stage, eight cases
at the hospital have apparently re
covered and 20 are much improved.
Four successful cases are also re
ported from Kings College hospi
tal and two in private practice.
An important point is that the
action of a very small amount of
radium can be greatly augmented
by the method. The more maligart
the growth the greater the prospect
of success.
