—We know that chronic irritations
in middle age may cause cancerous
changes. For instances, smokers’
cancer of the lip, cancer of the tongue
from broken teeth or a rough
plate, etc. But there must be some
other factors beside chronic irrita-
tion or even more would have can-
cers. What these underlying factors
are that cause the tissue cells to be-
gin to multiply, is not fully known,
but we know there must be some-
thing wrong with the chemistry of
the body.
Before the Belgian Academy of
Medicine, Sloss and Reding recently
presented researches which showed
that changes in the sugar regulatory
mechanism are manifest in a pre-can-
cerous stage. There was an over-
amount of sugar in the blood of the
cases studied. Other experiments
which have been carried on in ani-
mals, show that cancer may have
some relationship to lack of vita-
mins; therefore a prolonged incorrect
diet probably has a great deal to do
Ta this changed chemistry of the
ody.
Now another factor was brought
out by Dr. James Ewing at the Con-
ference on Cancer Control, held at
Lake Mohonk, N. Y., in 1927. It is
that lack of physical exercise tends
to development of cancer. In dis-
cussing the question, Dr. Handley, of
London, said that the lack of physi-
cal exercise caused a chronic lym-
phatic stagnation or obstruction and
this excess of lymph overnourishes
the cells, thus giving them the ten-
dency to multiply. He pointed out
that the fluid that bathes our tissues
TYequires to be constantly changed,
Just as does the water in which flow.
€rs are placed. And this can be at-
tained only by regular exercise.
So then, when we understand and
Practice exercise and correct diet and
avoid chronic irritation, we will prob-
ably prevent cancer, as well as many
other disorders.
—To imagine you are sick is next
door to being sick. So far as the im-

as bad as being sick. To the family

Snow, local farmer and banker.
Mr. Snow, one of the leading Re-
publicans in the community, points
out that farm lands on the average
are worth $50 less an acre than they
were seven years ago and calls upon
all Republicans to repudiate Hoover:
and the Coolidge policies. He said:

farming district I daily come into con-
tact with numerous farmers who face

Farmers are now paying a tariff-pro-
tected price for nearly everything
they buy, and because of a small sur-
plus, are compelled to sell what they
produce at prices unprotected by the

“Nearly four years ago Mr. Coolidge
was elected President on a platform

Since his election he has done noth-

a farm-aid McNary-Haugen bill which
was backed by a 1aitel agriculture

“I do not care whether you are
Catholic or Protestant, wet or dry, the
fact remains that the steady confis-
cation of farm lands is still going on
to an alarming extent. I claim that a

—If American girls have any |
gard for the opinion of that serious
minded hard hitting young man, Gene
Tunney, the market on high heeled
shoes is about to drop. The heavy-
weight boxing champion has turned
from Shapespeare to physical advis-
er. He believes walking is the form
of exercise ‘best adapted to all ages |
and both sexes, but adds:
“I have no advice for those who
try to walk on the high, narrow heels
some of our girls wear. Any effort
to walk any distance on such stilts
as those will injure, perhaps cripple
the wearer, to say nothing of the way
it thrusts the internal organs out uf |
place.”
When Tunney advises walking, he
doesn’t mean strolling. “I mean real
walking, with head up, chest out,
spinc straight and feet moving along |
at the rate of four or five miles an
hour. A slow, dawdling walk gives
you practically no exercise,” he em-
phasizes.

Checks for Small Amounts
There is a federal law stating tha
“no person shall make, issue, circulate.
or pay out any note, check, memoran-
dum, token, or other obligation for a
less sum than $1, intended to circulate
as money or to be received or used in
lieu of lawful money of the United
States and every person so offending
shall be fined not more than $500 or
imprisoned not more than six months,
or both, at the discretion of the court."
Many individuals, and even the gov-
ernment, make checks for an amount
less than $1, but they are not in-
tended to circulate, but are only in-
tended to pay the amount of the check
to the person the check is made pay-

FORMER BOSTON MAYOR
IN FIRST VOTER DRIVE
Orsanization of the first voters has
been started by the Smith-Robinson
League of First Voters under the
chairmanship of Andrew J. Peters,
former Mayor of Boston, and Mrs.
John Harlan Amen, a daughter of
Grover Cleveland.
Strategic points have been selected
.chroughout the country for regional
beadquarters to direct the organize
tion of the young voters.
“The new voter in the coming elec-
tion occupies a position of unusual
importance in the political alignment
of the country which exists today
and may well hold the balance of
power,” former Mayor Peters said in
accepting Chairmanship of the Men's
Division. “The candidacy of Gover-
nor Smith makes an especial appeal
to young men and women, because
Governor Smith stands pre-eminently
as the champion of the rights for
equal opportunities for those young
men and women to expand and de-
velop in the life of our American
community.”
WILL CARRY MISSOURI
Governor Alfred E. Smith received
the following telegram of thanks from
Judge Charles M. Hay, who recently
won the Democratic senatorial nomi:
nation in Missouri:
“l sincerely appreciate your mes-
sage of congratulation. We will carry
Missouri for both the state and na-
tional tickets. Heartiest good wishes.”
The telegram was received aboard
the governor's train returning from
the funeral of his lifelong friend,
George E. Brennan, Democratic lead:
er of Illinois.
Won and Lost
Three young men were dining. After
the meal one of them wagered an-
other that the latter could not balance
a glass of water on each hand. The
challenge was accepted. Placing his
hand palm down, flat on the table
top the challenged one let his com-
panions place a glass of water on each
of his outstretched hands. “Easy,”
said he. “You win,” replied the other
two and they placed the meal checks
in his coat pocket and departed. Amid
the laughter of other diners, the
hoaxed youth had to invoke the aid of
a waitress before he could be relieved
of his embarrassing burden.—Boston

In Mexico
HusYands in Mexico do net
lateh keys.
When they have been out late to the
lodge they ring an electric bell or
vound on a ieavy wooden gate.
This wakes up the wife or servants
and all the neighbors, but no one kicks
very hard, for it is an ancient custom.
Mexican wives do not wait up for
their husbands to come home, armed
with rolling pins,
The husband can’t sneak upstairs
with his shoes in his hand. He makes
enough noise when he arrives to wake
up people for many blocks and then
wifey gets up and attends to his case.

Electricity in Coat
Bobby, age five, had been left in
the care of his aunt while his mother
was doing some shopping.
“Why,” sald Bobbie, “does mother
want a coat with electricity in it?”
“A coat with electricity in it,” said
che aunt, “surely you must be mis-
taken.”
“No, 1 am not,” said Bobbie. “She
said that she was going to buy a coat
and have it charged.”

Odd Power Credited
to Precious Siones
Superstitions still persist about the
magical properties of many stones. i
On account of that associated with |
the opal, the proposal is frequently '
made by jewelers’ associations to re-
move it from the list of “birth stones.”
Strange places have been looked in-
to for stones possessing unusual re-
quirements. The gizzard of a rooster
is said to have revealed a stone which
rendered wives more agreeable to
their husbands; the shell of a crab
yielded a stone for sore eyes. Beads
of paste or glass were in common use
in ancient Gaul under the name of
serpents’ eggs. They were thought to
be generated from the breath of the
serpents, being shot into the air from
their hissing jaws. Soldiers wore ser-
vents’ eggs to make them invincible.
It was long believed that a sap-
phire would heal diseases of the eye:
and such a stone was once given to
the treasury of St. Paul's by a well-
meaning London g-ocer, to be used
for that purpose. There were stones
to heal wounds, to aid the complexior
and to prevent drunkenness.
St. Tsidore, bishop of Seville, is said
to have known of a stone which, when
powdered and drunk with vinegar,
made men insensible to torture. There
Is no record, however, that he ever

Life Never Alway
Sunshine or Sorrow
Life itself is short; time is fleeting:
And we should learn to accept our lot
with reasonable complacency. That
does not mean that one should sit
quietly and dumbly when beset by
crushing adversity, Make the best
possible fight against the enemy; but
in the end, after you have done your
very best, try to rest content, what-
ever the outcome may be. Sometimes
our experiences are bitter; other
times they are sweet. But if we do
our part, play the game of life intel-
ligently and honestly, we can usually
be assured of fitting rewards. And
when aflliction that we may think is
undeserved is meted out to us; we
may chafe at its hardship, though at
times it cannot be avoided, try as we
will. But whatever adversity or mis-
fortune may come to you there should
be many exquisitely delightful remem-
brances, and you should at all times
try to live within their ecstatic im-
agery.—True Story Magazine,

The Rain Gauge
The earliest rain measure, or gauge,
was irst used in Korea, in the Fif-
teenth century. Galileo, Sir Chris-
topher Wren and others experimented
with measures, but the first gauge of
which there is any authentic descrip-
tion was made in England by a Mr.
Hooke in 1695.
The rain was collected by means ox
4 funnel into a flask, weighed, and the
weight converted into inches—a differ-
ent method. It was not until 1891 that
the late G. J. Symons designed a satis-
factory pattern of gauge.
In his “storm” gauge an inch of rain
is represented by 24-inch in the tube.
Floats make reading easy. If one tube
fills it overflows and registers accu-
rately in the second.
Going Into Detail
A certain gentleman who bought a
house as close to the station as he
could possibly get it soon repented of
his choice.
The following is a letter he wrote to
the railway company complaining
about the noise made by shunting op-
erations throughout the night:
“Gentlemen, why must your engines
ding and dong and fizz and spit and
pant and grate and grind and puff and
bump and chug and hoot and toot and
whistle and wheeze and jar and jerk
and sparl and slam and throb and roar
and rattle and yell and smoke and
smell and shriek all the night long?”

Weasel Fights Pests
The weasel, whose white winter coat
forms the ermine of commerce, is
found in various forms from the Arc-
tice to the 'Tropics, says Nature
Magazine. It would seem as if na-
ture had .a mind a machine for keep-
ing in check the hordes of mice and
other rodents that without some re-
straining agency would devastate the
earth, for the weasel has been evolved
in a variety of sizes. the smallest of
which traverse with ease the burrows
of the lesser mice, while the largest
approach in size the mink and mar-
ten, and prey on larger species.
“Lvoof”
There is one thing harder to under
stand in Lwow than the Hebrew. Po-
lish, German, Italian and Russian
heard on its streets—the pronuncia-
tion of the city’s name. Most of us
would pronounce the “L” and follow ir
up by a well emphasized “wow.” Du:
the Poles will tell you to press your
tongue to the roof of your mouth and
say “L” as we do, then forcefully bii-
ing the lower lip with the upper teeth,
to say “voof” (Lvoof).

in the vast library of the pretentious

The first marriage in the White
House was in March, 1811, during
the first administration of James
Madison.
Supreme Court Justice Thomas

a nephew of the late father of his
