that reprehensible practice--still prev
alent in some schools-of keeping the
children standing during r~ecitations.

in many cases, the precursor of cpl
thelioma, namely, 'leucoplakla;' and
this disease is more geneally consid-
cred to be caused by smoking. Mr..
Barker, writing on this Inflammation
in Holmes System of Surgery"
points out that among seyenty-hve
recorded cases, seventy-one smoked
and only four were non-smokers.
Buzenet used the term plaques des
fumuers" for this disease, because he
was convinced that smoking so often
gave rise to it. Mr.. Hulke has more
than once shown that 'leucoplakia"

oma, and out of the above mentioned
seyentv-five cases, forty-four devel-
oped epithelioma, and in one only was
there a family history of cancer.

again, turn them up for five minutes
to see that none of them leak around
the top, and if you have let all of the
air out at first they will keep for
years. ~Blackberries, gooseberries and
currants may be canned in the same
