A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
 PLAYED ID LARGE HOUSE
One of the Best Home Talent Produc- tions of the Season.

The light melOdrama, "A Soldier Of Fortune" was presented to large and very appreciative audience at the Vance Friday night by local talent. un der the management of R A. Chase The production is one of the most fin ished ever put on at this place and especial mention must be made of a part of the cast who are in manner responsible for the success of the en- tertainment
 Maurice Blome was especially good in the part of Patroni and even though he had the part of the william he in terpreted his lines splendidly through out.
 Milo Shill in the titular role prob ably did his best acting before a Mesa audience last night. His annunciation was clear and he had the audience with him from the start.
 Winnie Vance as usual was eXcep- tionally good and one of the strong characters but unfortunately her part was subservient to the male roles and she had little chance to exhibit her ability. Amy Allen. as Ida Lovewell. likewise was cast in a minor part. The play is one in which the female roles are considerably abbreviated.
 George Fryer. as snowball I'm one of 'em." had the audience with him and he filled the part full to running over. There are many who consider that MT. Fryer did better last night in the black face role than in anything he has vet attempted.
 Joe Perkins. as Fred. came nearer being the star of the cast than any other of the players. He was at ease at all times and his acting Friday night bordered on the professional standard.
 The specialties were exceptionally good. Miss Vance sang solo and was compelled to respond to an encore. Maurice Blome sang Sing Me To Sleep" in German. in highly pleas ing manner. Mrs. Bert Vance was compelled to respond to an encore and selected I'm the Girl From the Golden West" which was one of the evenings entertainment Nash Aperry recited a monologue, The Wandering Jew" Mir Aperry had his makeup well in hand and his Jewish dialect could hardly be improved upon.
 The production throughout was well worth while and the cast was decid- edly balanced.

ID CELEBRATE.
 AT MESA CITY Fourth of July Committee Is Appointed and at Work PLANS VERY TREMENDOUS People Expected to Come From Entire Central Por- ton of the Territory. Excur- sions VIII Be Run on all of the Roads.
PLANS VERY TREMENDOUS

All up and down the Pacific & Eastern and over on the Arizona & California route. as well as along the Nj. & P and the Santa Fe the invita- tions are going to Celebrate at Mesa" !" Reference has been made in these col umns several times to the enthusiasm manifest at the meeting held for th' purpose of getting an expression f-cI1 the business men and citizens general ly in regard to a fourth of July ccle- bratiOn and incidental matters relating to a celebration but not until the com mittees appointed have begun to feel around has the real ieed for festivities become apparent The wonder is that Mesa could have gone so long without a celebration. IL has been six years since Mesa had a fourth of July ob- servance and then it rained so hard that the dampness interfered with the festivities, and that can hardly be call ed d successful celebration. The point intended to be conveyed is that for the past seven years Mesa has been spend ing her money at nearly every town in the territory and this year it's going to be a case of come to Mesa.
 One of the features of the plans for the celebration is in the strongscom- mittees appointed and the systematic manner in which they have gone about arranging for taking care of the crowd.
 The committees are as follows:
 Central committee-R F. Palmer. chairman; C. H. Van Antwerp, secre- tary and treasurer; Isaac Dana amusements: M. P. Holladay refresh ments: C. NJ. Conger. advertising

Automobile dealers have been selling
gasoline at their garages for 20 cents, and
when the reduction was made some OF the
dealers marked It Town to Is cents per

The report was circulated that the costly
house had settled by reason Of being built
on filled ground and was in danger of top

Is cancer curable7 The question was an
swered In the affirmative with the EN-
phasis of confidence by DR.. J. @. umford
In a recent lecture at the medical school
of Harvard university. In support Of his
assertion the doctor detailed the remark
able progress which has been made In
checking the inroads of the dreaded dis
ease. Quoting in part from the Boston
Herald's report of the lecture the doctor
said:
Progressive physicians have always be-
lieved and still believe that under proper
circumstances cancer may be cured. Lay
men have always believed and still believe
that cancers are incurable-are hopeless.
The laymen are wrong. Twenty years ago
cancers were not divided into durable and
incurable, but were spoken of as operable
and inoperable. By operable cancer we
meant a lancer which could be cut out
safely; by inoperable cancer we meant a
cancer which could not be cut out without
destroying life. Even those cancers which
had been shown early and had not spread
could be cured. Yet the hooking fact
about cancer teaching in my student days
was that most cancers were regarded as
incurable. The early lip cancer. the cancer
OF the nose. the skin. the face. the tip
of the finger and the toe could be cured,
yet breast and stomach cancers were
thought Of as practically hopeless.
Cancer was long ago found to spread
by the lymph channels. and to invade the
~neighboring lymph glands. In such spread
ing one may conceive the cancer cells
struggling out in various directions away
from the central cancer, In a way suggest
ing the struggling roots OF a plant. As 1t
spreads there develops more slowly and
regularly a circle of advancing cancer
growth in all directions about the center,
this circular following growth tagging far
behind the tips of the spreading roots. 1t
begins so small and obscure that 1t causes
practically no inconvenience; in the later
stage 1t becomes a general disease, involv-
ing and appearing in distant regions Of the
body.
This last exuberant growth comes about
because particles of the cancer work theiI
way in the blood stream and are deposited
far away. A cell from a cancer in the
hand, for example, may be carried to the
brain, so that the victim dies Of secondary
cancer of the brain. At the time that thi'
fatal spread is going on, the blood itsel1
becomes degenerated; 1t ceases to perform
normally its nutritive functions; the patien.
becomes pale, then waxy and wasted. TAX

symptoms are late, final symptoms which
occur when the patient has passed far be

Successful Operations.

DR.. Halsted of Baltimore was the first
surgeon in this country practically and eff
fectively to demonstrate these facts. Con-
WINGED that a cancer of a great organ like
the breast can be dealt with on the same
principles as can a small cancer of the lip,
he succeeded in working out a method
which in the last ten years has reduced
enormously the death rate from breast
cancer. Twenty-Five years ago less than 10
per cent of the victims lived three years
after the operation. Halsted's report last
survived the three years limit. That is to
say, nearly half the patients were cured.
The other IS per cent not cured were i'm
mensely benefited; their lives were pro-
longed and their sufferings we're relieved,
Other surgeons, working on the same lines
as Halsted, have had equally favorable re-
suits. One reports 50 per cent of cures.
another So per cent. still another SO, and
one the astonishing figure Of so per cent
of cures of cancer of the breast. When
other surgeons do not secure so high a
percentage as these. it is because people.
often poor and ignorant. postpone an opera-
tion until the favorable moment has
nearly passed.
Cancers OF the tongue and laws are
among the most fearsome forms OF cancer
They are not always recognized early; they
progress rapidly and return promptly. Ten
years ago, operations saved scarcely 2 ner
cent of the patients. Five years ago at the
