Parents often cite religious beliefs when rejecting medical treatment for their ill children. Christian Scientists believe in prayer instead of conventional medicine, while Jehovah's Witnesses oppose blood transfusions. But that is not the case with the Hoques. Lawrence Schneiderman, a doctor of internal medicine and a medical ethicist who teaches at the University of California at San Diego, said the Hoques situation is also different because surgery in this case is so risky.

"The clinical condition of the child is so serious that quality-of-life considerations should take precedence over a prolongation of life. Therefore, the parents have a right to decide what they think is in the best interest of their child," he said. But Schneiderman warned that any suggestion that homeopathic treatment can cure or ease cancer is quackery. He suggested that the Hoques instead concentrate on making their daughter as comfortable as possible. "There are nicer, easier, better things you can do for her than take her up to Canada for this foolishness," he said Frank L.

Short-film actress dies at 97 LOS ANGELES (AP) Addie McPhail, a dark-eyed actress in short-film comedies when she became1 the third and last "wife of silent-movie-star Arbuckle, died of undisclosed causes April 14. She was 97. After seven years of acting in a few feature films and low-budget short subjects including series called "The Newlyweds" and "Winnie Winkle," she married Arbuckle in 1932 when she was 26 and he was 45. Arbuckle's film career was halted in the early '20s because of a scandal that included two murder trials before he was acquitted at a homeopathic treatment The walnut-size cancerous tumor lies against several important arteries and affects Noshin's speech, vision and gait But the location of the mass could make surgery risky. Two pediatric neurosurgeons told the couple that there was a 70 percent to 80 percent chance that their daughter would emerge either dead or with severe complications.

If Noshin survived the initial surgery, she would then have to undergo chemotherapy and follow-up operations to have any chance at living, said the couple's lawyer, Charles Cooper. couple, an electrician and homemaker wife, are from' i Bangladesh, where homeopathy is more widely accepted. The Hoques (pronounced HOKE) fear surgery would kill Noshin or leave her in a vegetative state, Cooper said. "They didn't want her to be going into the hospital and having the top of her head removed and then all of these different surgeries and having her go through all of this," Cooper said. Cooper said Noshin is doing much better now that she is receiving alternative medicine; her left eye does not roam anymore, and her left arm is stronger than it has been for a while.

Noshin's pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit contacted the state after her parents, who live in Royal Oak, stopped bringing her to appointments. Prosecutors filed an emergency petition to intervene. Such disputes occur from time By JAMES PRICHARD Associated Press Writer MICHIGAN Surgeons say 2-year-old Noshin Hoque will probably die within a year or two unless the tumor growing deep in her brain is removed. But the operation itself will probably kill her or leave her blind or paralyzed. Given those odds, the little girl's parents, Jalal and Shaheda Hoque, decided not to let doctors operate, and instead started taking her to a Montreal homeopath for herbal and nutritional treatments in hopes of curing her.

Buf now Michigan prosecutors have? taken the' Hoques to court to force them to go ahead with the surgery in a case that revisits the question of who should decide what is best for the child when it comes to lifesaving medical treatment. "There's no other outcome but death, without surgery," said David Gorcyca, prosecutor in suburban Detroit's Oakland County. "I think if I'm a parent given a 30 percent fighting chance of survival, taking that shot every time." On Friday, Circuit Judge Martha Anderson ordered the parents to allow a state social worker to see Noshin and gauge her condition, after the Hoques turned away the last one who came to their home. The couple were also ordered to provide prosecutors with complete records of their daughter's treatments. A hearing was set for May 12, when the judge will receive the results of a court-ordered brain scan on Noshin to determine the effectiveness of the third trial on a reduced charge of manslaughter.

After Arbuckle died, McPhail appeared in seven more films including five in uncredited bit parts including roles in "Body and Soul" and "Corsair" and "Girls Demand Excitement" starring John Wayne. Her last film appearance was in "Northwest Passage" starring Spencer Tracy in 1940. A Rock of Ages Family Memorial is Forever.

The retail giant made the decision after hearing opinions from customers and associates, Melissa Berryhill, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman told The New York Times in Tuesday's editions. The halt in sales is part of a series of moves by Wal-Mart to pull back on items that it considers too risque.

Maxim, Stuff and FHM often feature starlets posing on the cover and in layouts with little clothing. In the past, the company has been pressured by Christian groups over its distributing certain magazines. Wal-Mart can account for up to IS percent of all single copy magazine sales. African leader dies after illness JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) Walter Sisulu, an anti-apartheid activist who became one of the top leaders of the African National Congress, died Monday. He was 90.

Sisulu had been suffering from a long illness, according to the African National Congress. As a founding member of the ANC's Youth League, Sisulu, Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo helped convince the ANC to adopt active protests against the white-racist apartheid government. He was banned by the government in 1954, detained without trial in 1960 and repeatedly arrested and harassed by the government in subsequent years. He was sentenced to life in prison along with Mandela and other ANC activists on charges of sabotage in 1964 and served roughly 26 years in jail before being freed in 1989. He was elected the party's deputy president in 1991, a position he held until after South Africa's first democratic election in 1994.

"His absence has carved a void. A part of me is gone," Mandela said in an impassioned statement that lamented the loss of his friend and confidant. Mrs. Donald Krauss YnRJNERAL HOMElf MEMORIALS Logan Monument Company Established 1890 945 E. Main St.
