CANCER, ITS CAUSE
AND PREVENTION
STATE SHOULD DO SOME
THING IN INVESTIGATING
THIS DISEASE.
Average Annual Death Roll From
Cancer for Past Five Years
is 1867.

The state should do something to
discover the cause and prevention of
cancer. 1t is slowly increasing and
is the cause of an enormous loss OF
money and happiness to the people.
Medical science does not know the
secret OF cancer. Its cause is un-
known. The Psychologists have so
far been foiled and the state should
nelp on the search 1t woul.. be
money in the states pocket to do so,
writes J. N. Hurry of the State
Board of Health.
The annual death roll from cancer
is startling. The average annual
deaths from cancer for the last FIVE
years in Indiana is 1867. The annual
average total deaths from all causes
for the same period is 36,461. Then
from these facts we learn, that OF
every rs deaths, one is from cam
Ger. Surely it is high time we were
getting after cancer with big stick
If we are ignorant OF the cause and
origin OF cancer, why are we ignor-
ant? One reason for our ignorance
lies in the fact that the private work
ers in medicine have so far had the
whole burden to bear The state has
not so much as lifted its finger to un-
ravel the cancer secret, and yet. no
subject is OF more importance to tire
people Suppose Indiana were to
establish a Pasteur Institute, and no
better name could be found, and sup
pose the scientists in control should
IN FIVE or ten years discover the cause
AMI hence the control of cancer, then
great honors and profit would be
ours. The plain way for us to prac-
ice true economy is to discover, and
then conform to the laws of our we'll
being.
Indiana could well afford TO expend
one or even ten million dollars, ii
found necessary, just to know from
whence cancer proceeds. This Sec
ret being known. then prevention is
possible. 1t is an easy matter to
convince those who have cancer or
those families which have been torn
by it, that the above proposition is
true The trouble lies in convincing
those who are certain they will es-
cape the horror, and who in their
selhsiness will not act: Oh. for a
statesman VINO will lead big eco
my, and leave cheese pairing and all
minor things to low ambition and
the pride of kings.

BUTTER SOMETIMES BAD.
State Drug Commissioner Says Farm
Product Does not Average as
Good as Creamery.

When the average housewife asks
for country butter and objects if the
grocer attempts TO tell her he has
something just as good, or even bet
ter. she had better take the advice Of
the grocer, provided he can make
good his assertions concerning the
product he proposes to substitute
This much is gathered from the
forthcoming report of H. (. Barnard,
state food and drug commissioner, in
the chapter devoted to food analysis
for 1908.
From time immemorial the prudent
housewife has thought that country
butter is the sum total OF excellence
in that class of dairy products She
| may hesitate to accept the view of
the state commissioner, but he has
his assertions backed up by figures
complied by expert chemists and is
prepared to support them. In his re-
port he says
"The character of the country but
ter sold throughout the state is most
unsatisfactory. Occasionally the but
ter produced at the farm is of fair
quality, but by far the larger amount
is of such poor grade that 1t can not
compete with the butter produced at
the creamery, and consequently much
OF it finds its way to the renovating
| factory. Samples of country butter
purchased on the Indianapolis market
have contained as much as 33 per
cent moisture. The average water
content OF these buffers is so high
that it can not be legally sold. The
only explanation for the unsatisfact-
DRY character of country butter, once
so highly priced and in such demand.
is the lack of knowledge of the max
er and the use Of unsatisfactory uten-
sils."
The state laboratory tested eighty
nine samples of butter during the
year and sixty of these samples were
classed as pure, and atwenty-Iline IL
legal Twenty-one of The Illegal sam
pies were sent in by health officials
or dealers who suspected their char
acter. Mr. Barnard found some oleo-
margarine sold when butter is called
for, but, says the report: Both deal
ers and manufacturers Of this whole
some food product are beginning to
realize tie wisdom of selling oleo-
margarine on its merits and not as
substitute when butter is called for
Mr. Barnard finds the greatest fraud
practiced by restaurant and boarding
house keepers who buy uncolored
oleomargarine and, having colored
it, serve it as butter. The practice is
iMegal, but the offenders are extreme
ly hard to catch.

LEGISLATURE
WILL CONVENE,
ON JANUARY z, AND HANLY
WILL BE GOVERNOR FOUR
DAYS.
Lieut. Governor Miller Will Preside
Over Senate and Can Appoint
Committees.

There has been considerable dis
cuSslon recently as to how long after
the Legislature convenes Governor
Hanly will serve as governor and
Hugh T. Miller will serve as lieuten-
ant governor. 1t has been announced
THAT the legislature will convene on
January Z, and that Thomas R. Mar
shall will be inaugurated as governor
and Frank J. Hall as lieutenant gov
ernor on January IL. Thus, during
four days of the session Hugh T.
Miller will preside in the senate as
lieutenant governor. Some have look
ed ON this as an innovation and have
characterized it as a trick of the Re-
publicans to allow Mr.. Miller to ap-
point the committees in the senate.
AS a matter of fact, the constitu-
ton of the state specifically provides
when the legislature shall convene
and when the ofhcIal terms of the
governor and the lieutenant governor
shall begin.
Converting of Legislature.
The constitution provides that the
legislature shall convene on the first
Thursday after the first Monday in
January every two years, and that
the official terms of the governor and
lieutenant governor shall begin on
the second Monday in January every
four years This rule has been fol-
lowed ever since the present consti-
tuition was adopted Four years ago
Governor Durbin was the executive
of the state for four days after the
session of the legislature was con-
vened
1t has never been customary,
though, for the legislature to take
up any work of consequence until
after the governor and lieutenant has
been inaugurated Usually the COM
mittees are not appointed in either
branch until after the Inauguration,
and, as rule no bills are introduced
before the inauguration.

BIG RUSH OF BUYERS TO PAR.
SHALL'S.
The Great Sacrifice Sale Attracts
Continuous Crowd of Purchasers

The big sacrifice sale announced
by the Parshall Department store
opened this morning on schedule
time. The first day is an unquali-
fed success from the start. There
was crowd waiting for admission
when the doors opened, and its num-
bers increased as the morning adj
vanced
twenty-five extra clerks had been
secured, and everyone of them was
kept busy this morning waiting on
the eager customers, whO\ evidently
appreciated the unusual bargains Of
fered. Soon the incoming file was
paralleled by an outgoing one OF
people bearing bundles under their
arms.
To one casually walking about
and interested in the excitement
which characterizes one of these
great sales, it was noticeable that
the large crowd was scattered
Throughout the entire store, indicat-
ing that the bargains in all depart
ments were equally attractive. Pur-
chasers were just as anxious to buy
three for a quarter Ihandkerchiefs
at three cents each as they were to
get an elegant $45 suit for $37.9S.
Still larger crowds are expected
this afternoon, but the management
announces that customers will be
given their time to do their shop
ping without being hurried, and
that whenever the crowds become
too large, the doors will be closed
until the customers inside have Sc
cured what they want.

DAVENPORT EASY
FOR HOME TEAM

Two touchdowns in the first seven
snappy high school team began this
afternoons game at the Old Fair
grounds. The home players were
lucky and won the toss-up for the
the ball on their thirty-yard line.
But after three downs, in which the
visitors made frantic efforts to gain
ground, they discovered themselves
up against something like a stone
wall. They were invited by the UNI
pire to make present of the pigskin
to the Wenatchee invincibles, and
forthwith there was something doing.
After two downs, on which 25 yards
had been gained, the sphere was in
trusted to Fred Morrison. Without
tarrying for any Alphonse and Gas
ton ceremonies, the young half back
tore through the conglomeration of
arms and legs. He planted the ball
squarely behind the goal posts. Then
the cheering began. Knowles kicked
a beautiful goal. Score, 6 to 0.
All this in five minutes. Knowles
made a great punt on the next kick
off. A Davenport player was downed
with the ball on his 15-yard line.
An attempt was made to evade at
lacking the ''stone WALL by means
of the forward pass. But the ball
rolled out, and the penalty of ten
yards brought the sphere back to
five yards from Davenport's goal.
Soon Wenatchee was in possession of
the ball and did not hesitate to
"buck the line and make the sec
ond touchdown.
By this time it was very evident
to the World reporter that Wenat-
chez far outclassed the visiting team,
and that the final score would be
