SIMPLE LIFE WARDS OFF ILLS.
Cancer Rare Among All savages, Says

Cancer Rare Among All savages, Says
Savant.
That cancer can be warded off by
the simple life" is the lesson learned
by DR.. Nicholas Sem, who returned
to Chicago recently from an extended
tour through the interior Of Africa.
In describing his explorations through
the dark continent" DR.. Seen de-
clared that the nearer man approach
ed the lower animals in simplicity Of
habit and diet the less liable is he to
cancerous growth. He said cancer is
almost unknown among the natives Of
the interior of Africa, because of the
simple habits of the people, and that
civilized man is like dollhouse plant
and cancer due largely to overnutri-
ton and luxurious living.
DR.. Sem went to study the pyg-
mics and aboriginal race Of that coun-
try and the pests which infest it.

Another Team Challenges
 For Kern Trophy

There will be another match for the Kern bowling trophy, beginning, pro0- ably, next week. J. E. Barragar, W. B.King and F.C.Flaharty have issued a challenge to W. W. Ward, E M. Me Intyre ard Ed. Barry, who won the cup last week, whom they have informed that they will beready to begin playing next Tuesday evening. It is probable the match will be governed by the the same rules which governed the last two matches.
 The challenging team is the same that won the cup in the first place, with the substitution of F. c. Flaharty for E. A. Murphy. This change was made at the request of Mir. Murphy, who has not had the opportunity to practice us much as the other members of his team. The suggestion was acted upon with regret, as the other members had desired that the challenge should be in the name of the same trio which had fought for the cup so long and with such success.
