You, Too, Can Help in This Great HUI
manitarian Movement.

Experiments recently performed by a
number of famous doctors, led them to
believe that a serum, prepared from the
thyroid glands of animals, by Prof
James Ewing and DIR. s. 2. Betz at the
Cornell Medical School, will cure that
dreaded affliction. cancer.
To continue these experiments, it is
necessary to have the serum that is ex-
tracted from animals, cattle, horses,
dogs, or any other animals afflicted with
cancer; but up to the present time, great
difficulty has been experienced in loca-
ting animals with cancerous growths.

THE BLIND SWIM STRAIGHT
Keep Course with Marvellous Directness,
Guided by Sound

Guided by Sound.
Just as some professional singers with
magnificent voices never learn TO sing in
perfect tune, so do the trainers of really
fine swimmers often find it impossible
that men with every quality for racing
otherwise can be made or taught to
swim even in an approximately straight
line.
Many n splendid swimmer is beaten on
this account, for his inveterate habit of
getting off his course naturally gives him
a roundabout journey. But the remark
able fact remains that blind swimmers
of whom there are in this country a
considerable number in connection with
various institutions for persons so af-
hlcted universally and without excep-
ton swim with marvellous directuess; M
deed, in as perfectly straight a line as is
humanity possible, even when the dis
lance covered is very considerable.
So much is this the case that DR..
Campbell, of the College for the Blind
at Upper Norwood, who particularly in
terests himself in the physical education
of the blind and has noticed this curious
fact, recommends that swimmers who
persstently foul each other on any
course shoulG practice experimeutally
when blindfolded.
Blind swimmers can, it appears, on
hearing noise in any given direction
not only swim absolutely straight to the
point whence the noise proceeds. but
when left to themselves their steering is
just as accurate.-Iit- Bits.

INAUGURATION DAY.

1t is proposed to change the date for
the presidential Inauguration. A con-
stitutional amendment has been intro
duced in the senate by Depew, desig-
mating the last Wednesday in April,
1918, as the date for expiration of the
cd congress and Inauguration of the
next president. The purpose is to
avoid the unfortunate weather condi-
tions and suffering that attended the
recent inauguration ceremonies, says
the Oregon Journal. Up to last Sat
urday $4,000 of the 100000 that went
to Washington for the inaugural were
still at the capital, unable on account
of the interrupted train service to get
out of the city. They were largely
without accommodations and were hud-
died together on doorsteps and endeav-
oring in various ways to shelter them
selves from the cold and storm.

phasis of our national life and of the
new form of government that has been
