About Advertising.

Poster advertising, rock and fence
painting, and flooding the mails with
circulars and postal cards are some of the
forms of advertising which disgust more
people than they attract, and even when
effective, are very wasteful mode of
reaching the public.
In the selection of proper medium
many points of value might be etaken into
consideration by advertisers News
papers which are not respected and faith
fully read are not good mediums for ad-
vertisers. Newspapers that are purchased
to while away half hour on street car or
elevated railway, and are not carried
home do not sell anybody's wares. Such
papers are no better than circulars and
almost as wasteful.
The experience of enterprising and sa-
gacious business men demonstrates that
the best results attend advertising in
home newspapers which go into
families and are read by one after an
other in the home circle.-NeD York

Cancer a Disease Of the Rich.

We have then confessedly to face the
fact that cancer is increasing in our
midst at a rate which bids fair to become
more and more serious with the advance
of time. In an article entitled IAN In
quiry into the Causes of the Increase of
Cancer" published in the British Nedi-
cat Journal year ago, drew attention
to the observations which had been made
upou the subject by the late Charles
Moore, whose Investigations into the pa
thology of Cancer had brought under
his notice the incontrovertible evidence
of the increase of the disease. In the
year 1865 he published small book
called the ''Antecedents of Cancer" the
contents of which chiefly consist in an
attempt to explain IN what manner the
augmentation of cancer is influenced by
the circumstances of life prevailing in
this country. For instance, he held that
the introduction of corn laws, the dis
coveries of gold and sanitary improve
ments, whereby the we'll being of the
nation was conspicuously established, af-
fected cancer indirectly by bringing into
prominence the predisposing causes of its
occurrence; and good living, it is thought,
which follows as corollary of CONNER
cial prosperity, is intimately associated
with the manifestation of cancer. Again,
inasmuch as cancer is characteristic of
the healthy, it may be expected to
abound amid the conditions of health.
The greater prevalence of the disease
among the rich than among the poor can
probably be explained in this manner.
According to French observer, the pro-
portion of cancer in the wealthy classes
is about 1O6 to 1000, in the poor classes
it is 70 in 1000; or at rate in the for
mer case of ten per cent, and in the lat
ter of seven per cent. Now, curious as
it may seem, cancer is met with in the
lower animals; and it has been said tC
prevail more frequently among thost
which are fesh-eaters than those which
are herb-eaters. 1t has been stated BY
the late DR.. Crisp, who had good oppor
tunities of judging, that cancer is by ne
means an uncommon disease among thu
domesticated animals, while in wilt
animals and uncivilized man it is rare

Duels Among the BedOuins.

The Bedouins have strong feeling Of
personal dignity, and are quick to resent
insults. Duels of peculiar kind are not
uncommon, always supervised by the
elders of the tribe, who never permit
them to come to fatal termination.
Sometimes the two adversaries, separated
by two parallel ropes about a yard apart,
are armed with courbashes "a fearful
whip, made OF hippopotamus hide, which
brings the blood with every cut, and
they are encouraged to slash each other
until their wrath is cooled. In more
serious cases the combatants are seated
fat on the ground, face to face, and as
close as they can get. One single knife
is given to the one who wins the first
cut, after which he passes it to his ad
versary, who strikes the second blow,
and so on alternately, They are forbid
den to strike at vital part, and while
they are slashing each others arms, legs,
III CHS, and shoulders, not without
sort of chivalrous courtesy, Judges
of the combat watch each stroke that is
given, and when in their opinion enough
blood has been shed, they rise and sepa'
rate the adversaries, who proclaim them
selves satisfied, and return quietly to iheil
tents to have their wounds dressed.-

People often read about "the Monroe
doctrine" without knowing exactly what
the phrase means. The following ex-
tract from President Monroe's seventh
annual message, delivered to Congress
December 2, 1928, gave rise to the
phrase:
''Tbe citizens Of the United States
cherish sentiments the most friendly in
favor of the liberty and happiness of
their fellow men on that side of the At
lantic. In the wars Of the European
powers in matters relating to themselves,
we have never taken any part, nor does
it comport with our policy to do so. 1t
is only when our rights are invaded or
seriously menaced that we resent injuries
or make preparations for our defense.
With the movements of this hemisphere
we are of necessity more Immediately
concerned, and by causes which must be
obvious to all enlightened and impartial
observers. The political system Of the
allied powers is essentially different in
this respect from that of America. This
difference proceeds from that which ex-
lists in their respective governments.
And to the defense of our own, which
have been achieved by the loss of so much
blood and treasure and matured by the
wisdom Of their most enlightened citi-
zens, and under which we have enjoyed
unexampled felicity, this whole nation is
devoted. We owe it, therefore, to can
dor and to the amicable relations exist
ing between the United States and those
powers to declare that we should consid-
er any attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion of this hem
isphere as dangerous to our peace and
safety. With the existing colonies or
dependencies OF any European power
we have not interfered and shall not in
terfere. But with the governments
which nave declared their independence
we have, on great consideration and just
principles, acknowledged we could not
view any interposition for the purpose OF
expressing them, or controlling in any
other manner their destiny, by any Eu.
ropean power, ia any other light than as
/ the manifestation of an unfriendly dispo-
sltion toward the United States"

Mhr the Bnhr Doesn,t MAIN.

One inquiry which is often asked the
physician is: "Why does not my baby
walk~ In anwer it is asserted, first
of all, that delay in walking does not
necessarily imply physical disease or
weakness. A childs disposition may
have much to do with it; courage and
self-conidence make the infant forward,
while timidity will make him backward.
The example OF other. especially older,
children stimulates the enterprise of an
infant; while, on the other hand, too
constant attention from nurses relieves
an indecent child from the necessity of
exertion~ When the tardiness passes
beyond theNordinaTy limits it may be due
to some weaApess, either natural to the
child or perhaNs some definite disease.
ANY severe silmSpt may entail such de-
bility as 20 interrupt the natural devel-
opmeat Of the ohNd in this direction.
Even the process Of dentition may have
such an effect

Cat Worship.

Those who regard themselves as vic.
tins of caterwauIing here may take con.
ISOLATION in the thought that they would
have had worse time in ancient Egypt
A recent writer says that cat worship
was carried to its greatest extent by the
ancient Egyptians, whose devotion to
their pets was such that, according to
Herodotus, when fire broke out they
cared for nothing but the safety of theiI
cats, and were terribly afflicted if one Of
them fell victim to the flames. On the
death of cat the inhabitants of the
house shaved off their eyebrows, and the
deceased cat was embalmed and buried
with great solemnity in sacred spot
Many cat mummies have been found ir
the Egyptian tombs, and some are to be
seen in the British museum, together
with similarly preserved specimens o.
human beings and of sacred calves
Their movements and their cries wer,
consulted as oracles, and the murder, o.
even the accidental fellcide OF one O.
them, was punished by death. This in
vites the assumption that the ratio of in
crease could scarcely have been the same
as in New York, or cats would have as
sumed the proportion OF one of tn,
plaques of Egypt.-Nea0 York. Sun.

Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, a Quaker lady, Of
Philadelphia, has dono great deal to make
known to ladies there the great value Of Mrs
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, as a cure
for their troubles and diseases. She writes
as follows: "a young lady of this city while
bathing some years ago was thrown violently
against the life lire and the injuries received
resulted in an ovarian tumor which grew and
enlarged until death seemed certain. Her
physician finally advised her to try Mrs.

short time the tumor was dissolved or caused
to slough Off, and she is no,O IN perfect

the medicine has been of great value in pre-
