particularly good floor. At midnight
the guests partook of a faultlessly pre-
pared and excellently served supper,
Mrs. FranZen and her daughter receiv-
ing many compliments upon its excel
lence, the menu being so elaborate

plain that there were so many good
things that his appetite was not suf-
iciently elastic to eve sample the
half of them. Mr.. and Mrs. Franzen
were heartily complimented on the
complete success of their first harvest
fest.

500 Reward, o

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to ure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
"a constitutional disease, requires a con,
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature In
doing it's work. The proprietors have
70 much faith in its curative powers
that they offer n hundred dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send

STUDY OF CANCEt
The Death Rate In Chicago From
That Disease Has Increased
232 Per Cent.
BY EATING DISEASED MEAT
OF Germans Dying There at Age OF
40 Years or Over One In
Every Four Dies From
Cancer.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Chicago scien'
lists are deeply interested In the re-
suits Of two years. exhaustive re-
search upon cancer in Chicago by DR..
G, Cooke Adams of London and for.
merly Of Australia just made public
here through the department Of
health. DR.. Adams has proved con.
clusively that diet plays a most i'm,
portant factor In the increase of the
disease and its death rate =
The increase from cancer In Chicago
from 1866 to 1905 was 232 per cent;
in 1866, one In each 104 deaths was
due to cancer, and In 1905, it had in
creased to one death in every 20. The
results show that the increase Is due
to the foreign-born inhabitants as the
native Chicago-born show the lowest
death rate in the world.
During the last seven years Ct o8,S35
deaths among the Chicago-born from
all causes there were only 178 deaths
due to cancer. During same period
there were 61,O19 deaths from all
causes among foreign-born inhabit-
ants (who comprise over one-third of
the total population) and there were
4,465 deaths from cancer.
The cancer death rate per 100000
living over 40 years of age of the
different foreign-born inhabitants show
that the German is 757 Irish 700,
Scandinavian $40, Slovenian 800, other

OF Germans dying in Chicago at

dying in Chicago, aged 40 and over,
one In six dies from cancer, while in
Ireland 1t is one in Is, whereas, among
the Chicago and Illinois born dying in
Chicago, aged 40 years and over, there
is only one death in u from cancer
The death rate among the foreign
born from cancer in Chicago is rapid
ly increasing. The German and Irish
show the highest death rate from can
Ger in the world, nearly 300 per cent
higher than in their native countries.
The Italians and Chinese maintain the
lowest death rate of all from cancer
as shown In their own countries.
Concerning his researches DR..
Adams says:
1.-THE cause of this greatly increased
death rate among the foreign born
cannot be charged to climatic condi-
lions, for l have found that the Chi
cago and Illinois born have about the
lowest death rate from cancer of any
people in the world, for many years
the average being one death from
cancer in every 400 deaths among
these people, and but one cancer death
