sought diligently to get at the secret of the
origin OF cancer, that frghtfu and malignant
sccurge of humanity 1t is reported with rea-
sonabe ground for belief that this mystery has
been unveiled at last by persistent researches

of tests. And there are stories also of sue
cessful treatment of cancer by the use of the

The first ole was TO disfranchise the

ofa vote of 175 the measure received

and TO apportion to each race just whist
that race pays. This too was defeated
in the Senate out tf vote OF "A the

connection I think it but lst to say
that the defeats Of these measures IN
