Not Cause of Cancer.
Explaining why such substances as
soot, arsenic, tobacco, petroleum and
some aniline dyes produce cancer. Dr.
11. C. Ross of the Lister institute, Lon
don, writes to Nature "that the terms,
'Industrial cancer,' 'smoker's cancer.
arsenic cancer,' etc., namely the dis
eases caused by the commodities men
tioned, refer In reality only to a pre
disposition to the disease. The com
moditles themselves do not actually
cause cancer; they merely render the
tissues prone to It, which seems to
occur In a speelilc manner. The com
modities always In the first instance
produce coll-prollfcratlon, usually In
the nature of a warty growth, and it
Is not until an open ulcer has ap
poared, generally at the base of the
wart, that malignancy supervenes.

CRIME INVESTIGATION.
Mr. Fletcher Dobym of Chicago
ays In a published statement that
his Investigations as attorney for the
city council crime communion hare
influenced hlin to go out and fight the
saloon as the greatest source of crime
In Chicago. He asserts that almost
all crimes are committed by abnormal
persons, and that In tracing the source
of theso abnormalities he has found
It to be, in a large majority of cases,
the liquor evil.
"Before 1 started my Investigations
In regard to crime," says Mr. Dobyns.
"I was not a total abstainer or an
advocate of closing the saloons. But
now I believe that alcoholic drinks do
more than anything else toward creat
ing the abnormal person. We must
faco the liquor problem. I say It not
as a prohibitionist, but as a student
of crime."
PRACTICAL SALOON SUBSTITUTE.
The Illinois Steel company started a
campaign against drinking among
their employees in their South Chi
cago mills a short time ago. The sa
loonkeepers, by the way of retaliation,
established elaborate free lunches and
advertised the fact. They posted signs
which told of the bad effects cold
lunches have on digestive organs. Over
the doorways of saloons pictures of
largo steaming bowls of soup were
painted. One sign read: "Don't come
in to drink; come in to eat"
The steel company came lack with
the establishment of a restaurant In
the plant with the following menu:
Bowl of Soup 2o
Roast Beef and Potatoes 6c
Ham Sandwich 2o
Tomato lc Beans 2a
Plo lc Coffee 2c Ice Cream 2o
ALBERTA DRY.
Alberta, Canada, is the first domin
ion province to abolish tho saloon by
direct vote of the people. It voted dry
July 21 by 20,000 majority, the law to
go Into effect July 1, 1916. This great
nowly white territory comprises 210.-
000 square miles, an area largor than
the combined states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
A factor of great Influence In the
victory was the Indorsement of the
prohibition measure by the inodlcal
men of Calgary who thus placed them
selves in the front rank of efficient
and up-to-date physicians who are
everywhere declaring the evil effects
of alcoholic beverages.
HAD SIGNED THE PLEDGE.
The artist was painting sunset,
red, with blue streaks and green dots.
The old rustic, at a respectful dis
tance, was watching.
"Ah said the artist, looking up
suddenly, "perhaps to you, too, na
ture hus opened her sky-pictures page
by page? Have you seen the lambent
flame of dawn leu ping across the livid
cast; the red-stained, sulfurous islets
floating in the lake of fire la the
west; the ragged clouds at midnight,
black as a raven's wing, blotting out
the shuddering moon?"
"No." replied the rustic, shortly;
"not since I signed the pledge."
WILL 6TAY IN JAIL.
With tears In hia eyes Charles Boyer,
Plxty-three years old and a prisoner in
the Multnomah county Jail, Oregon,
pleaded with county officials that he
might be kept In the Jail until the state
goes dry on January 1, 1916t "Every
time I get near booze," explained Mr.
Boyer, "I get drunk. Every time I get
drunk I hire a rig and go for a nao.
Every time I go for a ride I forgot to
bring the horse back to the stable."
"We will keep you In Jail until Janu
ary 10," the Judge assured the prisoner
when he heard the plea. "The state
ought to be good and dry by tb&t
time"
GOVERNMENT FIGURES.
According to statistics made public
bv the treasury department, internal
revenue collections on spirits are oe-
creasing about l,2!i0,uuu a monin.
pnrt this desnltn the emergency "war
tax" levied on wines by the last con
eress.
That there has been marked ao-
crease In the amount of distilled spir
its consumed In the United States the
paBt year is shown by the following
figures: From July 1, 1913, to May
1. 1914. the taxes were $135.B18.49.
From July. 1914, to May 1, 1915. they
were $121.804,705 a decrease during
the ten months of $13,713,790.
CONDITIONS IN VERMONT.
When Vermont first went back to
license, in 1903, 90 cltlo and towns
voted that way. This year there were
but 17. and two of these (Burlington
and Rutland), the only ones of any Im
portance which remained wet, stayed
so by but from 25 down to 12 majority.
Its return to prohibition by popular
vote on March 7, 1910, se -ms assured.
ABOUT BEER.
Beer is more prolific in producing
certrln organic diseases of the liver
ind kidneys perhaps than any ather
form of alcohol. The end of the beer
drinker is often a "hob-nailed" cir

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 17.
ELI8HA HEALS NAAMAN
6YRIAN.
THE
I.E88ON TEXT-II Kings S:l-M. H
GOLDEN TEXT-I ato Jehovah that
heulrth th.-Kx.
Read carefully the intervening
Scripture following last Sunday's les
son to get the account of Ellsha's ac
tivities. There is recorded the story
of the poisoned fountain (2:lt;jj.
The "hoodlum" gang (vv. 23, 24)
which Is a story for boys. Note:
Ellslm had nothing to do with the
bears, nor does the record say that
the bears killed the boys. Next the
story of the Widow's oil (4:1-7). Fl
nally, the suggestive stories ot the
Shunammlte woman (vv. 8-37), and
the feeding of the prophets and the
people (vv, 38-44).
Now we come to Ellsha's most fa
mous experience, that with Naaman of
Damascus. This city is reputed to be
the oldest In the world and is situated
about 100 miles (air line) northeast ot
Samaria. This event probably oc
curred between 904 and f4 B. C.
I. A Ministry In the Home, vv. 1-7.
Naaman had all that heart could wish,
seemingly. Exalted, rich, a great
man, honorable and successful in bis
undertakings, "but be was a leper."
As such he Is a type ot the sinner.
Leprosy begins practically' in secret.
Is transmissible, may be ameliorated,
but cannot be cured by man. In bis
home was one who knew the Lord,
one who observed, who loved as well
as served. This maid was a true serv
ant, tor she showed her master bow
to be rid of bis malady. For all of bis
wealth Naaman was not happy. He
know and others would soon know his
condition. His wife could not bulp
htm, and did not take the maid's mes
sage to him. Perhaps she did not
rightly value 1L But there was co
operation In that household evidently,
for "one went In and told bis lord"
(v. 4). There was also co-operatlou
botween the home and the govern
ment, for the king of Syria sent a let
ter to the king of Israel (v. 6). Tho
strength of any nation Is In propor
tion to the strength, unity and loy
alty of Its homes. It is also in pro
portion to the care and Interest which
that government takes in Its homes.
This maid had probubly been taken
captive by one of the Syrian "bands''
(v. 2), yet It as not an accident that
she thus entered Into the plan of
God. We feel sure she knew and had
been taught by EHsha, hence the as
surance of her message relative to his
power. Her faith was great.
II. A Ministering Prophet (vv. 8-14).
Tho king of Syria thought be could
buy everything, including the desired
cure (vv. 5, 6). His letter brought
great consternation to Israel's king,
probably Jehoram. The value of the
gifts presented, perhaps over $100,UOO,
revealed the urcency of the case. But
there waB one in Israel who was not
disturbed, for be knew more fully the
power of Jehovah. Elisha is a type
of Christ who offers not only to all
lopors but to every unfortunate one
"rest" (Matt. 11:28-30). Elisha re
sponded to the need of the nation
(v. 8), as well as to the need ot
Naaman the leper, when he volun
teared to become the champion of Je
hovah (v. 7).
The prince came, however, filled
with a sense of his importance and
his pride stood in the way of his re
lief, hence thu manner of Ellsha's
treatment Waiting thus before the
prophet's door Naaman is a type of
the great of this earth who shall yet
bow before God's people (iBa. 60:1-3)
and before his Son (Phil. 2:19). Bv
human arguments Naaman was right
(v. 12) and his rage was Justified, but
he must learn tUt as a suppliant
ho cannot dictate means nor methods.
The rich and cultured sinner cannot
selocl his own way of healing, nor be
treated any differently than the poor
end the Ignorant. The river Jordan
is a type of the Judgment on sin. Sin
must be Judged by confession (Rom.
16:9. 18). Sin must be renounced
before we can be cleansed (I Cor. It:
31; I John 1:9). It was a slow, a
patient, a public process through
which Naaman must pass, but such
had been the development of leprosy
In his life. God bad Judged sin on
Calvary (Rom. 8:3; II Cor. 6:21; Gal.
13) and as Naaman went down In
the Jordan he took. In figure, the sin
ner's place, even as Jesus later took
that place for ns. (Matt. 3:13-15).
Though Inclined to act the fool, yet
Naaman wisely barkened to his serv
ant (v. 13) and obeyed the command
of the prophet. He did not relish the
Idea of the commander In chief of the
most powerful army of his day hav
lnir thus to re humlllpted. He
"thought" (v. 11) differently and .n
this Is supritestlve of those who are to
day rebelling at God's provision for
their salvstlon. The wisdom of his
lowly servants was amply demon
strated when after the seventh dip In
the river he lookad af his hands and,
bohold. his flesh was "like the llesh
of a little child." There was no heal
Ing power In the water. It was God
who wrought the miracle. Nanman a
tct wss a test of obedience to the will
3f God bv one who was used to giving
:omamnds
It gave him a part Is his healing
ind It was supremely simple.
8o we have a part In our salvation,
he plan of which Is so simple.
His cure came because he obeyed
lehovah: (a) He heard of one who
:ouid cure (v. 3; (b he believed
ITi 4i ; (c) he forsook bis own
noughts (v. ID; (dl he accepted
lod s thoughts and n.ethods ivv. 13
41; ie) he took the sinner's illaet
vv! 10, 11): If) he bersme clean aftei
i als obedience (vv, 14, 15).
GOOD ENOUGH AS A SAMPLE
Quality of Helping Was All Right, but
In Quantity It Left Much to
Be Desired.
Jacky had been asked out to a
"grown-up" dinner. Swelling with
pride, be took bis seat at the bot
tom of the table and looked round
lightly awestruck at the Imposing
collection ot auuts and uncles.
Then bis attention became fixed on
the ancient rotative who was carving
an enormous turkey, and bis mouth
watered as he saw the big helpings
being handed round.
-' But the carver, who did not know
Buah about little boys, cut all a tiny
portion for Jacky.
"Is that the part or the bird you
like, my little man?" be asked, as the
servant handed Jack the plate.
Jack looked at It for a moment, and
then banded It back.
"Yes," be said; "I'll have some of
that, please."
