Cancer Cure Is Found,

Important discoveries in connection
with cancer were announced last week
when the prince of Wales presided at
the annual meeting in London of the
general committee of ''cancer research
fund.-"
Distinguished experts briefly summed
up their years work as follows:
Civilization is not the cause of cancer,
which pervades animal as we'll as
human life and attacks all its subjects
at relatively the same age and periods.
1t is not an infectious diseas and is not
transmissible from one species to
another. A cancer cell can acquire
powers of self propagation. :.
Cancer is not caused by parasite.
The malady is not on the increase.
Radium has been found to exercise
no curative effects.
A serum has been discovered from
which good results have been obtained.

A Slap at the Box Elder.

Hon. G. NJ. Loring of Minneapolis,
the father Of the park system Of that
city, in recent lecture at Fergus Falls
upon the subject of beautifying a city
said that the greatest mistake that the
people in this state had made was in
planting so many boxelder trees. These
trees never attain any great size, are
comparatively short lived; are subject
to disease and are in almost every way
undesirable. When he first came to
Minnesota, he was told that the box
elder was the shade tree that would
grow here and a good many people
seemed to still have this impression;
this is a great mistake. The stately
elm, the soft maple, the linden and
numerous other varieties will grow al
most as fast as the boxelder and are
infinitely superior to it.

Hon. Clifford sifton, minister of the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada will open the
dominion exhibition at Winnipeg
Manitoba on Tuesday, July 26th. The
exhibition will close on August 9Th.
If all of the anticipations of the man
agement are realized this will be one
OF the greatest and most successful ex
hlbltlons ever held in Canada.
In this display there will be brought
70 notice the fact that the manufac-
turers of Canada are keenly alive to
the growing interests of the west and
are able to satisfactorily compete
with the world. There will be a
splendid exhibition Of the agricultural
industries of Canada, especially Of
western Canada, noted for it's No. |
hard wheat, its oats, barley!and it's free
homesteads. The exhibit of horses and
cattle will show that Canada still
maintains her supremacy; some of the
best will be there to compete for the
handsome premiums that are offered.

Fruit as Medicine,

Why for ages have people eaten ap-
pie sauce with their roast goose and
sucking pig? Simply because the acids
and peptones in the fruit assist in
digesting the fats so abundant in this
kind of food. For the same reason at
the end of heavy. dinner we eat our
cooked fruits, and when we want their
digestive action even more developed
we take them after dinner in their
natural uncooked state as dessert. In
the past ages instinct has taught men
to do this; today science tells them why
they did it and this same science tells
us that fruit should be eaten as an aid
to digestion of other foods much more
than it is now. Cultivated fruits, such
as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries,
grapes, etc., contain on analysis very
similar proportions Ct the same in
gradients, which are about per cent
of malic and other acids, and per cent
of hesh-forming1 albl1minoids, with
over so per cent of water. Digestion
depends upon the action of pepsin in
the stomach. Fats are digested by these
acids and the bile from the liver. Now
the acids and peptones in fruit peculiar
ly assist the acids of the stomach. Only
lately even royalty has been taking
lemon juice in tea instead of sugar,
and lemon juice has been prescribed
largely by physicians to help weak
digestion, simply because these acids
exist very abundantly in the lemon.

To Drive Away Flies.

The Kansas agricultural college
dairy has tried the following prepara-
ton, recommended by f. A. Marlatt:
Fish oil, 2 quarts.
Crude carbolic acid, pint.
Oil Of pennyroyal, 1 ounce.
Oil of tar, 10 ounces.
Kerosene, quart.
This preparation may be applied
with a brush, cloth or atomizer and
will cause the flies to leave Immediate
ly. All Of the ingredients, except
kerosene, can be procured at the drug
store and will cost in the neighborhood
of IS cents per gallon. With the COL
lege herd of thirteen calves we find
that one gallon Of this mixture will
make from forty to forty-f appli-
cations, and single application will
keep the flies off from two to three
days. This will make the cost about
2 cents per application, or about 4 to
l cent per day per head.

Japan's Place Among Nations.
From Baron Kentaro Kaneko's 1.-THE Magma
Charta of Japan in the July Century.


Charta of Japan" in the July Century.
BY adopting constitutional form of
government we have given to the
whole world the strongest evidence
that it is our earnest desire to follow
closely in the footsteps of civilized
nations; and the record of the last
fourteen years of our Parliament has
proved that in addition to this desire,
we have shown that we possess the
capacity to master the mechanism OF
liberal government; that Japan, by her
earnest study of modern science, her keen
appreciation of the benefits of civiliza-
tion, her strong perception of national
responsibility, and her perseverance in
mastering thoroughly the principles of
right conduct accepted by civilized
nations, has justly earned a placed in
the family of nations.

The Toad in the Garden.

10 most people a toad is nothing
but an unsightly reptile which is to be
summed as much as possible. The
superstitious think it venomous, but
studies made at the Hatch experiment
station show that it is not.
The toad is a reptile, to be sure, but
it is one that is not only harmless, but
is of great use to the gardener, as every
worm or insect that comes within
reach is devoured greedily. Centipedes,
caterpillars, blister beetles and bugs of
every kind are equally welcomed by
the toad. He uses them all alike. They
wander within reach and his long,
glutinous tongue flashes out so quickly
that the eye can not detect it and the
victim is gone. The toad swallows
once or twice, winks his eye placidly,
seems to smile and is ready for as many
more Of the same kind as may come
his way. Half dozen toads in the
garden will keep it free from most Of
the ordinary garden pests. They are
easily tanned and spend the day in
some shaded nook along the fence or
under cabbage leaf, coming sedately
forth at night to find their food.
Where the good qualities Of the toad
are understood he is always welcome
visitor and his stay is made as pleasant
as possible.
