DANGER FROM LIGHT AND AIR?
British Doctor AscribeS Prevalence of
Cancer to Modern Conditions.

DR.. Woodrnff's agitation lest harm
come to the blond members of the hu-
man race by reason of sunlight seems to
have raised an English echo A Lon
don dispatch says that DR.. Watkins
Pitchford, government pathologist of Ma
tai, thinks the increase of cancer during
the last seventy-iye years is attribut-
able to sunlight and modern hygienic
conditions. The Doctor says cancer is
found to be most prevalent among those
exposed to actinic stimulation and dwell
ers beside lakes and rivers. agricultural
laborers and masons. He remarks::
Wooden garments largely have been re
placed by cotton, and black and brown
clothes by those of a lighter color. Mar
row streets and dark houses are no Longer
tolerated. and suburban life largely has re
placed that of the city. Artificial illumina-
ton has become greatly more actinic ana
the manifest deduction from the principles
] have advanced is that cancer is prevent
able by efficient protection of the body from
light. The natural protection, such as hair
on the head, should be encouraged, while
clothing must be absolutely lightproof.
There may be something reasonable
in DR.. Pitchford' 5 distrust of the modern
artificial lighting No harm would be
likely to follow his preference for cloth
ing OF colors impervious to light
though the latter is subject on which
opinions are likely to differ But to
imagine that harm to human beings
comes from the abolition OF narrow
streets and dark houses and from get
ting out into the open air and the open
country-this will be generally looked
upon as morbid, Every advance in the
direction of opening human habitations
in the temperate zone 10 sunlight and
air has been accompanied by an adj
vance in human comfort and an inn
proyement of human health. OF course
in the hotter countries of the earth the
fierce heat and glare of the sun are in
furious, and the craving of human be
ings is for GOODNESS and shade. But this
is only to avoid 'too much of a good
thing" AS for the cause Of cancer, In
the present stage of medical science it
is exceedingly obscure.

or muscles, at times have headache or

eyes, sometimes feel as though you

In Eight Games Won Since June /
the keokuk Twirler Has Al
lowed an Average 81 but
Four Hits.



Never In the history of league base
ball In Keokuk has manager been
put to such severe test of Judgment
as with the Keokuk team taus far
during the present season. On several
outstanding occasions Manager
Frank Belt, the venerable manager OF
the Central Association, has been
forced to extending himself in the Sc
lection Of player or In the winning
of game and thus far he has ac-
quilted himself with honor.
One of the best examples Of Frank
Belts judgment was In the retaining
rof Pitcher Prough, who, II he keeps
up his present pace, is likely to set
new record for the Central Associa-
ton. So far he has won eight straight
games in row and in each of them
has pitched phenominal ball. Dur
ing these eight games 10 runs have
been made by Keokuk's opponents and
SO hits. This is an average of IA
runs per game and four hits. In no
game has he allowed more than six
hits and four OF the games have been
three hit ones.
He has figured in but one game
; since the first Of June which has
been lost, but this defeat is not credit
ed to him but to Blue Jacket. who
pitched the first inning against Wa
terloo Sunday and allowed 2 runs.
Prougi then took the mound and held
the Champs safe but Keokuk lost.
This defeat is not credited to Prough
and thus does not mar his excellent
record.
It will be remembered that during
Il, month of May Prough was in
poorer condition than any pitcher on
the Keokuk staff. During this first
month OF the league Keokuk carried
five pitchers, Jepson being in the list
1t came time for Belt to cut loose
one of the fingers and after careful
judgment decided to let Jepson go
and retain Prough, knowing that he
would round into shape when the
warm weather set in. Many fans dis
agreed with Belt at the time, but the
veteran manager stuck to his judy
ment and followers of the game now
see the result.
On June 1 Prough went in against
Jacksonville after he had been going
poorly and held the Lunatics to 8
scattered hits and l run. Fans pre-
dicted that he had finally struck his
pace and he certainly had, for since
that game he has not been credited
with defeat, having won eight
straights. Prough may set a record
before the month of July is over.
