Cancer is Not IncurabIe.

Cancer is far from incurable, accord
ing to DR.. Nicholas Sem, in lecture
on "The Problem of Cancer" at the
University of Chicago. DR.. Sem de-
clared that so per cent. of the cases OF
cancer which are brought to the atten-
ton of physicians in the first stages
may be cured In the course of his lee
ture DIR. Sem advocated the establish
ment of some sort of bureau to keep
the public informed as to the nature
and the cures of cancer, as is done in
some cities of Europe. Many of the
victims of cancer prevent cures by be-
coming respondent and keeping away
from good physicians, he said.
"If the disease is detected in its
early stages a cure may be affected"
said DR.. Sem, but if it is allowed to
go to an advanced stage nothing can
be done"

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in e
manner to enhance their textile beau
