THINKS VACCINATION
CAUSE OF CANCER

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Dr.
w. B. Clark, well-known
physician, insists that vaccin-
alton is the cause of cancer.
He says:
"a cancer was practically
unknown until cowpox vac
cination began to be intro
duced. Cancer, I believe, Is
a disease of cell life, a dis
turbance of its equilibrium,
manifested by the rapid
growth of cells and the con-
sequent building up of tu-
NOR. I have had to do with
at least 200 cases of can
Ger, and here declare that I
never saw a case of cancer
in an unvaccinated person.
The way vaccination
causes cancer is like this:
1t takes FL years to make a
man and but four to make a
COW, the former being of
slow cell growth and the lat
ter rapid. To put the rapid
growing cells, or proto-
plasm, OF a diseased animal
ain a condition of virulent
infectious activity into the
slow-growing cells of man, is
to disturb the equilibrium of
cell life and create the dis
parity, disarrangement and
disorganization which, when
the season for cancer comes
late in life, results in cancer,
If not tuberculosis earlier"

Experience has taught that It is
best to dip twice for cattle in the fall
of the year, regardless of the condi-
ton of the cattle but In the spring
there Is not so much necessity for the
double dipping as the animals are
not now so likely to reinfection
There are numerous dips on the
market at the present time and no
doubt they all have merit, but many
failures have been made In dipping
possibly due to the fact that the dip
was not efficient. The coal tar prep
arations are effectual In pring

The Rambouillet or French Merino
is the largest of the tribe and indeed
some individual specimens of the
Rambouillets have been among the
largest of all sheep, weights having

pounds, and fleeces are as heavy as
sixty pounds. These, however. are
entirely exceptional, and 1t is doubt
full II ever any sheep In the world

even forty pounds of fairly clean
wool in one years growth. The Ram
bouillet has had rather remarkable
history in the United States. Early
introduced 1t was found not hardy
and was quite generally condemned
and discarded.
The fact Is, its lack of hardness
was more an inability to withstand
starvation than anything else. II
given food there is no harder sheep
than the Rambouillet. However. a
few admirers of these great sheep
having sufficient food for them, re-
tanned their focks and bred them
pure for years. Some flocks founded

remained continuously upon the

The Great Sivad, heXoriginalist, the
slowest acrobat in the world, and Col
die Beach, one OF the best singing and
dancing soubrettes in the vaudeville
world, are the artists that will please
the patrons of the popular Cairo OPP
era House this week. They come to
Cairo with the strongest recommends
tons that could be given two artists
of their separate classes, and it is
certain that they will make a COOL
impression on their first appearance
today, matinee and night
The moving pictures will be kept
up to the excellent standard main
tanned by the Cairo opera house
throughout the season, two new big
leataFo reels of film being shown eV'
will be rendered by Mr.. Nixon. The
price of admission will remain at ten
cents. Such an entertainment as Of.
Tered by the opera house is we'll
worth double the fee asked, and the
liberal patronage of this popular
amusemens place has demonstrated
the fact that the people appreciate
the ability of the management to Sc
cure the highest class of artists to be
found. Only the cleanest and best
pictures are shown, and perfect order
prevails at all times.
