Dick" one OF Washington,s rcputed

STILL NO CURE FOR CANCER.
Remedies Widely HeraIded All
Prove DiSapPointments.

Z From the New 1Ork Evegiug Post.
Premature advertising of medical the
cries which have not gone beyond the
stage OF experiment is not without its
dangers. The X-ray was hailed on all
sides as the lolg-sought panacea. Within
a year after its discovery il had been
tried on all sorts OF maladies, and the
papers were reporting results nothing
short of miracles. Conservative medical
men asked in vain for time TO observe
results. But what now is the attitude Of
the profession toward X-ray therapeutics?
Il has replaced none Of the older methods,
certainly 10 surgical operations, and with
cancer it is used only when every surgi-
cal measure has failed. and then only to
decrease the rapidity of the tumors
growth
The alleged trypsin cure for cancer has
been similarly trumpeted more loudly
than the scientific tests yet warrant The
results Of DIT Boards experiments on
mice he considers encouraging, but in
eases of human cancer Il IS yet years too
soon to. make any positive claim whatsO-

some grow quickly and without removal
are rapidly fatal. some. again, are 50
slow in their growth that years may pass
before their presence is even recognized.
it is not easy 10 decide, even when the
result appears most conclusive. whether
a cure OF cancer has been effected.
Formerly surgeons believed that if a
cancer did not recur in its hrst site within
one year the patient was free of danger.
That time Conservation time. as sur
geons call it, has been increased nrst TO
three then to FIVE years. and at present
one of the most experienced surgeons in
this country believes that cancer may re
cur even after ten years
Thus il is evident that the factors which

JAMAICA'S MORAL REVIVAL.
Preachers start the CoIored PopuIa-
tiOn to Marrying by Wholesale.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

tlOH TO Marrying by Wholesale.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Religious revivals in the island Of ia
maico have been productive Of marriages
by the wholesale among the natives. who
are taught that the earthquake which
devastated Kingston nearly a month ago
was a visitation Of God as a punishment
for their immoral mode Of life Such is
the story told by returning tourists on
the steamship Admiral Schley, which ar
rived here from Port Antonio
Amusing instances of the universal
haste displayed by the natives to get
themselves safely married were narrated
by Mrs q. Spiegel. who toured the island
in an automobile, accompanied by her
uncle, Arnold Freshman. So numerous
were the marriage ceremonies in all
parts OF the island that II seemed to
Mrs. Spiegel as if the entire marriageabIe
portion of the population had simulta-
neousiy determined 10 begin life anew by
entering the bonds OF marimony. She
afterward learned that this universal
marrying and giving in marriage was the
outward sign Of a strong religious senti-
ment which followed in the wake Of the
disastrous disturbance at Kingston.
Since the earthquake, she said. preach
ers have been busy denouneing the wick
edRess Of the people, particularly the lax
ity of their notions regarding family life
and the sacredness Of The marriage t!e
The sermons We're at first Ineffective, but
as the preachers continued with undated
ard0r ia their crusade against the preva-
lent manners and customs OF the natives,
driving their lessons home with the ac-
cuslng statement that the recent disaster
was a punishment from God for their
sins, the natives became convinced by
their eIoquence- Soon couples began u
present themselves as candidates for the
ceremony which would make them man
and wife. The number increased daily
until the list Of applicants reached the
large proportions which puzzled the
Americans sojOuTning in the island

Dorothy is a very little girl who has

Like all other little girls Dorothy is
sometimes quite troublesome, and proving
somewhat Unmanageable 10 her nurse one
morning recently, her mother was called
upon to adjust things.

a naughty. naughty, little girl. Here you
