O. M. Moore, Seattle. Our work DUR
ing the fair has been something of a
mystery to some of your people, but |
trust it has done or will be the means
of doing, much good to the Yakima
valley. The Bureau is Seattle institu-
ton, supported by our business men,
and its purpose is to advertise the state
in general and the Sound country in
particular. However, during the fair,
we have done little else than advertise
this beautiful and prolific valley. At
the outset we offered to handle litera-
ture for the different sections of the
state proposing to have exhibits here
the work to be done at no expense to
the exhibitor. As only one section re-
sponded, the Yakima valley gets the
l.
cause Mrs. NJ. has fallen in love with
my work and has done most of the talk
ing during the fair for the bureau. We
have distributed several thousand illus
trated booklets concerning irrigation in
the Sunnyside district, besides 5000
illustrated circulars printed especially
for this occasion, as well as much other
literature, furnished by local parties
including local and farm papers. We
have received many favors during our
stay from those who appreciated the
work being done, and when we come
again another year, we hope to be better
prepared and know that your people will
then better understand what we wish TO
DO for them. In conclusion let me saw,
as of old-It is not unto me or mine, !"
but to the broadminded business men of
Seattle who have sent us here to help
advertise the fair and the fair valley-a
work we have been engaged in for more
than three years, advertising the state
and its resources. May great prosperity
remain with the Yakima valley.

Suppose our Farmers TRY II.

Out in Missouri a prosperous farmer
living on a public highway uses a novel
but effective way of advertising his wares.
On a large painted board he inscribed
the name of his farm, and the finger
point showed the direction to his postofice
and the number of miles thereto.
Under this painted board he has a sort
OF blackboard. on which he writes down
what he wants to buy and what he has for
sale in the way Of livestock. etc. He thus
advertises a spare horse. a COW and calf
and surplus pigs or anything else he
wishes TO exchange or turn into money.
How often do you hear one neighbor
say TO another: 81 wish had known you
had a COW to SELF" why. your pigs are
the very sort of pigs I paid more for than
you ask for yours"' Why didn't you let
me know you had seed wheat to spare?'
or Il could have sold you all the seed
corn you wanted OF that sort" etc.
OF course. there is considerable expense
attached to printing or newspaper adver-
Using. but there would be little or no eX-
pense with the chalk and blackboard.
And then again. il would hurt nothing
TO let passersby know who owns your
farm: that is. II you are proud Of the
looks OF f. If you are ashamed Of fits
dilapidation or neglect. then it may do
TO keep quiet, as some of us do.
But all farmers should take sufficient
pride in the looks Of the place to be willing
TO acknowledge ownership. at least.
Every traveller who enjoys looking at
the country travelled over would be pleas
ed 10 know the names Of the owners Of the
places they see. when the outlook is pleas
ing and suggestive of thrift, industry and
progress.

writer of an editorial note on the subject

I'VE believe that a more systematic
and widespread inquiry would show that
cancer is not so uncommon amongst Wo-
men and men of Jewish birth as has hith-
erto been supposed. Inquiries which we
have ourselves made support this conten-
ton. Some years ago a similar view was
held with regard to pulmonary tubercu-
losis, but all physicians attached to the
special chest hospitals, especially those IN
the east end OF London, would be able to
bear witness to having met with many
cases of that disease in the numerous
Jewish patients attending the out-patient
departments. DR.. Braithwaite's conten-
ton however may be of value as sug-

Literary Digest.
If a man were to abstain from all all
mentary substances that have been sup
posed. at one time or another to promote
cancer, he would be very likely to starve.
Salt is the latest sufferer from this sus-
picion. In an article in The Lancet. DR..
James Braithwaite, of Leeds, suggests
that cancer results from the use Of an
excess of salt in the diet. Says The Hos
pital in discussing his article:
cit may be that several causes cooper
ate in the production of the disease; 1t
may be that there is an over-nourished
condition of the body resulting from eat
ing too much, and especially too much
meat; or a loading of the body with Ell
fete non-oxidized matters, aslamong those
who lead indolent and indoor lives, or,
again. that some local irritant or stimu-
liant may determine the place at whicn
cancer shall develop; but whatever may
be the part played by these conditions,
Dr. Braithwaite holds that the one FACTOR
which will be found to be operative In all
cases is an excess of salt in the diet. In
supporting his suggestion he points TO the
asserted rarity of cancer among the Jews,
who do not eat pork; to the fact brought
ont bv a recent research into the distri-
hutton Of cancer in Buffalo, that the IN
crease in the prevalence of cancer which
has taken place there has fallen specially
upon the foreign-born population, ana par
ticuIarly on the. Germans, who eat much
sailed food; anCSa1o the generally asserted
relation existing between prevalence OF
cancer and the consumption of large
quantities of meat. which, he says, con-
tains large quantities of salt. At first
sight what he says about the Jews might
seem to incriminate the pig. But ne
points out that the pig is just the one do
nestle animal in which no case Of cancer
has yet been met with Hence, II cancer
occurs among those who feed on bacon,
II Is the salt and not the pig that does the
mischief.
Salt is a powerful stimulant to cell meta
bolisrn, as every watering-place physician
knows. Such stimulation, however, ac-
cording to DR.. Braithwaite, may be over
done. The farmer who over-manures MS
