Victim OF Hard Work.

The Horse Cave Gazette thus tells
of the trials and tribulations of the
country editor:
How shall the small town editor
make the newspaper he does, is the
question that has often been asked and
never answered in but one way.
By hard work. He is his own edi-
tor, reporter, business manager, fore
man, mailing clerk, and sometimes
compositor. Alone, or with an assist
ant, he turns out every week a paper
which, while perhaps not brilliant,
still contains the general news of the
locality.
The paper has an influence far
greater in proportion to its circulation
than any of the metropolitan dailies,
and it has done more to educate and
reform the people than the churches
and public schools.
The overworked country editor is
not properly appreciated, for he does
more for the community in which he
lives than any other individual. He
must have a firm belief in a reward
hereafter, or his nerve would desert
him early in his career.

CANCER KILLS ONE
WOMAN IN ELEVEN
According to Data Just
Compiled.
THE AGES BETWEEN so AND 81
Said to Embrace Greatest
Danger From Disease
Men Chief Sufferers.

Philadelphia, Penn, Aug. IS
One man out Of every thirty-two. and
one woman out of eleven now die of
cancer in this country, according 10
data just compiled by DR.. John A. Me-
Glinn, and communicated by him to
the Philadelphia County Medical soci-
ETY.. After the age of 30. one man out
of seventeen, and one woman out of
nine die of cancer. During this period
more women die in the United States
of cancer than of consumption.
The age of greatest frequency has
come TO be between the ages of 80 and
"a, when one man in fourteen and one
woman in five die of cancer. If the
disease had been exterminated in this
country in 1906 there would have been
since then. DR.. McGlinn says, a saving
of life equal to 373,574 years, or tota
saving of more than 1924 ,0000 in
earning capacity.
Out of the total population of the
registration area of males and females
more than 35 years of age in 1906 here
have died or will die of cancer 2S1, 909
men and SIS, 1856 women. The combined
death rate for all surgical conditions
exclusive of cancer in 1906 was 1915.
The cancer death rate was 70.S. From
which it appears about one-third Of
the deaths from all surgical c0ndi-
lions were due to cancer. The COM
bined death rate for all preyentable
diseases was only ga higher than can
Ger. Cancer of the stomach occurs in
males in 43 per cent. of all cases
and in females in "a per cent.
Cancer is more frequent in men
than in women. DR.. McGinnis' figures
show. The greatest liability in males
is between fifty and seventy-five years
of age, and in the females between
forty-five and seventy years of age.
Cancer is on the increase all over
the world, according to the latest
figures. In the last decade In the
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1909-09-01

world at large it increased 70 per
100000. In the United States the dis
ease increased from SO to near
ly II per 100000 of population. From
1901 to 1906 the increases in various
kinds of cancer We're as follows: Stom-
ach and liver, is per cent; mouth o.
per cent; intostines, O.6 per cent; skin
OIL per cent. The decreases in the
various forms of the disease were:
Breast, OIL per cent; other organs, 2.5
per cent. In England one man out
of every eleven and one woman out
of eight over 80 years OF age die of
cancer. In the same country more
women at all ages die of cancer than
of tuberculosis.

SKIN GRATING.
Operation Successful-Husband
Furnishes Cuticle For
Injured Wife.

Lexington, KY. August 29.-Ihe
physicians at st. Joseph's Hospital
believe that the life of Mrs. June Jett
has been saved by grating upon her
body, which had been terribly burned
about two months ago, pieces Of skin
which were taken from her husband s
left arm and leg.
Mrs. Jett, about two months ago
was standing in front of the fire at her
home in jackson when the blaze
caught her dress and before the flames
could be extinguished she was horri-
bly burned about the left arm and
side. Mrs. Jet was considered in a
dangerous condition when brought to
the hospital, and it was thought that
it would be an impossibility for the
wounds to heal up and not leave scars.
1t was found that skin in large guam
titles would have to be grated on il
she would ever regain the use Of her
left arm, and her husband gladly vol
unteered to have the epidermis taken
from his leg to try the experiment.
The physicians then took the skin
from the limb and arm and grated
it on the arm of Mrs. Jet.
Mr.. Jet suffered considerably from
the operation, but has been away from
the hospital several weeks. Mrs. Jett

for Monday night. December 6.
The common council took up the
trial of Cox during the latter part OF
October when the grand jury was in
vestigating the paving scandal The
call for the special session was signed
by number OF the members OF the
body. When the meeting was called
to order, Cox demanded that he be
furnished with copy of the charges
against him. City Attorney Massie
and Mayor Jones quickly prepared the
charges aud the trial was gone into
at once. Cox being represented at the
hearing by Attorney Fay S. Collier,
Of Hampton.
After the body had spent nearly
four hours in hearing Cox's explain
alton of his letter to President Bran
ley and his recital Of his dealings
with another paving company, it was
decidede to defer final action until
after the courts had disposed OF the
charges against Cox growing out OF
the letter.
Accordingly the body adjourned to
meet at the call OF the chair TO take
up and finish the hearing. Just before
the adjournment, Councilman W. z.
Jones, OF the Third ward, offered n
resolution that Cox be custed from
the council and his seat declared va
cant. This resolution is now before
the body and will be disposed of when
the adjourned meeting is held.

ments growing out of the grand
iury's investigation OF the paving
scandal and was acquitted ON both
indictments by Police Justice Brown
last week.
