SMOKERS PREFERRED.
Experience Showed That Men With
Pipes Labored Steadily.

From the New York Times
The folks all gave me the laugh when I
sent down to the city for ten men to come
up to my rural place to work-smokers pre-
ferred. l wanted a job finished quick, dig
cling drains and laying tiles. and some
other things of the sort; what's moro, /
wanted 1t done within two weeks. It was
finished inside of ten days. the men got
their money and left for the city calling me
an easy boss. How did accomplish a two
weeks job inside of ten days? Easy
enough and as simple as you please. I
said 1 preferred smokers when I sent for
the gang. When they went to work I told
them they were to smoke as much as they
pleased. And they hit the pipe right along
to their content, l assure you. A neighbor
came over to look at the job and he
threw up his hands when he saw my gang
Down In the drain were four lusty fellows;
each and every one was loading and light
ing his bowl.
Waste of time that: takes a man at
least one minute to fill. light and start a
pipe. Those fellows could not work for me.

so he said, but SO / the same failed to
agree with him when / saw the chaps
buckle down to business: worked and
same with the tile men. They'd suddenly
lift up with jerk as though they had for
gotten something. Out came the pipes and
bags-scratch. puff and. presto! down went
the tiles all shipshape and quickly. 1t was
the same with the rest Of the men They
worked and smoked. smoked and worked:
II they lost time fooling with the pipe they
made 1t more than up when the pipes

On the same basis the English rate would
have been 761 three and four decades ago,
ana Is now 1919. The rate has more than
doubled in both countries, but II has all
along been much higher in England than
here. Here. also, as in England the dis

Cancer Is not a disease which would be
easily mistaken. or which would probably
be more accurately certified cause of
death now than thirty years ago. The In
crease in the rate must thus be- regarded as
real rather than apparent to the full extent
noted, and the question of why there should
be this much greater present danger from

1870 is one to which no satisfactory an

OF cancer. but the problem Is still SO ap-
palling as to create wonder that only Z13
subscribers as yet have responded to the
appeal for the cancer research fund"
This Is to be admitted as a partial expla-
nation of the rate increase. It has been
found in New England that the rate Is
higher in states like Vermont. where the
number Of people beyond the age Of fifty is
especially large relative to the whole pop

the increased mortality rate from this dis

scoURGE OF CANCER.
Spread Of the Disease in Great Britain
and United States.

From the Springfield Republican.
A growing death rate from cancer is re-
ceivfng much attention In England. It will
be recalled that special research fund for
the discovery Of the cause and cure of the
disease was started some time ago with the
special Endorsement Of King Edward and
some $1,000 has already been subscribed.
Now comes report from the registrar
general Of the kingdom to the effect that
deaths from cancer have increased from
242 males and $40 females year per /, OOO,-
600 Of population in 1S61-7O to 672 males and
s77 females at present. Such are the fig
ures given in telegraphed report from
London. and they are forming a general
topic Of conversation.
1t Is thus made to appear that the death
rate from cancer in England has more than
doubled In thirty years. Here la Massa-
chusetts this Is likewise true. Our rate is
reckOned on the basis Of 10000 of popula-
ton. and In the census years since 1870 It
has been for cancar as follows:
