THE FIRST CONCERN.
—A message of hope for cancer
was delivered to the Harlem Med-
jcal Society by Dr. Joseph Colt
Bloodgood, of Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity. He said:
“Correct information universally
distributed should wipe out cancer
of the mouth and skin cancer.”
Among some of the more dread-
ed forms, he said the fear and the
death rate can be reduced by educa-
tion. He went on:
“From observation of more than
thirty years on external cancer the
evidence is that it does not begin
as cancer, but in local area of ab-
normal cells. These cells are of two
kinds, first those displaced before
we are born, giving rise to the well
known black mole, a spot like a pea
beneath the skin.
“Second are normal cells irritated
by an injury, such as a sore spot
on the skin or a white patchin the
mouth,
“In the mouth in fully 97 per cent
of the cancers of which I have defi-
nite records two distinct factors
clearly preceded the area of irrita-
tion in which cancer ultimately de-
velops, and they are tobacco in any
form including snuff, and ragged,
dirty teeth.
“Smokers who are very careful to
keep their teeth clean and smooth
and who stop smoking the moment
they notice the white patch or ex-
perience the sensation of a sore
mouth never get cancer. I feel
confident that my students within |
fifteen or twenty years will not see
cancer of the mouth, but will only
read about it.
“As men and women grow older
and age thickens and wrinkles the
skin, it needs more attention and, in
addition to soap and water, there
must be added some toilet water
containing alcohol of at least 70
of
cold
the
per cent, and some application
oily substance like vaseline,
cream and almond oil, because
skin loses its natural secretion.
—1In a report on the results of
X-ray treatment in 939 cases of
cancer of the breast, Drs. George
E. Pfahle and Leo D. Parry note
that in 90 per cent of the cases a
lump, pain or an injury had first at-
tracted the patient’s attention to
the breast.
The average length of time before
the patient consulted a physician
was 19 months, however. It would
seem that our efforts to educate the
laity are unavailing. When the av-
erage woman carries such a burden
of worry or anxiety in her breast for
19 months, before she can make up
her mind to consull her physician
about it, why, what is the use of
trying to teach people about danger |
signals?
In 646 of these cases the patients
came for X-ray treatment after hav-
ing had an operation for removal of
the cancer, because the cancer had
recurred. The average duration of
symptoms of recurrence following
the operation, before the patients
reported for X.ray treatment, -was |
15 months. :

Miss Faher, wrote on the blackboard |
one day in 1893, is the thief of time.

teacher put it midly.
tion is the advance agent of Death
when you're dealing with cancer.
Not a very favorable series of
cases for X-ray treatment, were
they? Yetin this report Drs. Pfahler
and Parry include only private pa-!
tients who were treated three
more years ago.
These distinguished authorities
vise not only X-ray treatment of
“he wound as soon after operation
as healing is complete,
treatment of the cancer prior to the
operation, as a preventive of recur-
rence. In advanced breast
with involvement of lymph nodes in
armpit, such X-ray treatment (that
or
js, both pre operative and post-op- |
erative X-ray treatment) gave 46
per cent of five year cures, while
in 38 per cent of inoperable cases
X-ray treatment made the disease
operable amenable to surgical ex-
cision) and 10 per cent of these
patients who were operated on af-
ter X-ray treatment had made the
operation feasible, are living after
five years.
Surgery alone at present gives 20
per cent of five-year cures when the
nodes in the armpit are involved;
surgery with post-operative X-ray
treatment gives 35 per cent of the
five-year cures. So it is clear the
prospect of a cure is 75 per cent
better when X-ray treatments are
given after the operation than when
no X-ray treatment is given after
operation.
These authorities say they have
insufficient evidence to recommend
replacement of operation by X-ray
treatment and they advise that op-
eration and X-ray treatment be com-
bined in all cases in which it is
possible.
If the disease has already ad-
vanced beyond hope of eradiction by
surgery, then X-ray treatment may
still bring it within reach of surgery.
The X-ray treatment before opera-
tion is advised on the theoy that it
devitalizes cancer cells and So
makes them less liable to grow if
reimplanted or transferred during
operation.

'A NEW HORSE HITCH
| FOR 2 BOTTOM GANG PLOW.
! When C. A Burge, horse exten-
sion specialist of the Pennsylvania
State College, showed 30 Franklin
county farmers how to use a 5-'
horse multiple hitch on a 2-bottom
igang plow, they become so inter-
ested that not even a heavy rain
i could dampen their enthusiasm.
As the horses worked easily and
turned corners without stepping on'
each other, all the farmers agreed
that the hitch was the best they!
had ever seen in operation. Burge
explains that three horses precede
the other two when five are used
on the hitch. One farmer is now
preparing to use an 8-horse hitch
for a 3-bottom plow. |
Horses are used extensively for
field work in Franklin county de- |
spite the introduction of the tractor.
| It is estimated that there are more
| than 10,000 horses in the county.
PRE——
THE WOODEN SHOE TRADE.
It is said that in France wooden
shoes to the number of two millon
pairs are turned out each year. Both
machine made and hand made shoes
of this kind figure the French in-
dustry.
It is also declared that the best
wooden shoes are those made of
maple. In the provinces every French
woman possesses a pair of the finer
sabots for use on special occa-
sions. These show monograms and
similar designs carved on the
vamps, and they are kept on the
foot by ornamented leather pieces
over the instep. The manufacture

HONOR ROLL STUDENT
IN BELLEFONTE HIGH.
The following from “The Belle-
fontian,” the bi-weekly publication
of the local High school, gives the
list of pupils in attendance whose
grades have placed their names on
the “Honor Roll.”
A survey of grades for the fourth
six weeks period show that the
the Seniors still hold first place on
the Honor Roll. The number of
seniors on the Roll for this period
is not so great as that of the first
semester, yet, considering the size
of the class, the result is very
pleasing. ;
The Junior, Sophmore and Fresh-
men divisions show little change in
number, but there is still plenty of
room left for additions to the Honor
Roll from the members of these
classes.
Many students have the ability to
attain a place on the Honor Roll
and a little extra effort on their
part would assure them this honor.
On the whole, while the ranks
have thinned somewhat since the
last report, the results are gratify-
ing since the decrease in number
may be accounted for by the press
of extra-curricular activities.
The Honor Roll for the fourth
six weeks period is as follows.

TAXATION.
This problem has always been one
of contention and discussion and we
presume will ever be so. Our
erence to it is in accordance with
the program laid down by our Na-
tional Grange. In the past, our dis-
cussions of this subject have been
more or less of a general nature
but henceforth they will be directed
to bring about definite results.
The Seattle Convention laid down a
clear cut policy and our Pennsylva-
nia State meeting approved that
policy. With the appointment of
8,000 Committees on Taxation
throughout the country there is
bound to be an intensive. campaign
for the relief of the property owner
from the excessive taxation.
Farm property and small homes
have long been too severely
taxed and the resolutions at Seattle
aim to correct this inequality.
Pennsylvania is in accord with the
following action there:
Whereas, The rapidly increasing
consolidation of business is resulting
in a concentration of wealth in a
few favored centers, resulting in an
incease in the tax burdenin the out-
lying districts from which this
wealth is drawn, and
Whereas, This wealth can be tax-
"ed equitably only by the Federal
Government: therefore be it
Resolved, That we favor a tax
. policy under which this wealth is
reached by a Federal income and
| estate tax sufficient to permit dis-
tribution of a substantial portion
| among the States, on the basis of
| school requirements or on some
| similarly equitable basis.
Believing that the only measpres
| for taxing purposes are ‘property”
‘and “ability to pay,” it can easily
{be seen why the Pennsylvania State
| Grange has always contended for a
{tax on the capital stock of manufac-
| turing corporations. This position
las well as the attitude taken at
Indiana in reaffirming our position
Graduated Income Tax
lare in line with the Grange'’s de-
| mand for equalization of taxation.
In the general movement for equal-
lity in this matter the Grange in
| Pennsylvania is found in the front
|line. The subject will be under dis-
! cussion in every Grange throughout
the year, and the crystallized sen-
'timent resultant from these discus-
sion will pave the way for the 1931
| session of the Legislature.—From

'CARUSO’S BROTHER HERE
TO SETTLE ESTATE.
Giovanni Caruso, brother of the
late Enrico Caruso, arrived in New
York in March aboard the Lloyd
Sabaudo liner Conte Grande, to he
present during the final disposition
of the late tenor’s estate, consisting
of more than $1,000,000.
Under the recent ruling of the
Court of Error and Appeals in Tren-
ton, N. J, Enrico Caruso’s daughter,
Gloria, receives one-half the estate,
with the remainder to be divided in
four equal parts for his widow, his
brother Giovanni, and two sons by
a previous marriage, Rodolfo and
Enrico. The Court of Error and
Appeals overruled a decision made
in Chancery Court in Trenton un-
der which Gloria would have re-
ceived two-thirds of the estate and
her mother one-third.
The Mountain district letter
carriers’ association will meet in
Tyrone on Saturday, April 14th. The
district is composed of the counties
of Blair, Bedford, Centre, Clearfield,
Huntingdon and Somerset. Con-
gressman J. Banks Kurtz will be
the principal speaker. A banquet
will also be served.
