Cancer in Belgium.

Consul H. Albert Johnson, at Liege,
reports that the new organizations for
combating cancer in Belgium held
meeting at Brussels recently and out
lined a comprehensive plan for its
future activity. The association will
affiliate with the international asso-
citation for the systematic study of
cancerous diseases. One of its first
tasks will be to acquire and systema-
tie all knowledge, of the disease. 1t
will endeavor to give to the medical
profession the results of it's research,
in order that the disease may be COM
bated with better results. 1t was also
proposed to establish one or more in
situations in Belgium to be devoted
especially to the study Of cancerous
diseases. x Consular Report.

The "leg o'mutton" sleeve, or thU

the very latest thing that has APP
peared, and these models will be
found equally well adapted to new

much in demand and will be extern
sively worn, and that length, as well
as the full one, is provided The box
pleated sleeves are somewhat fancy
in effect, and fancy sleeves are being
much used just now, but the plain

them into the breech with great

sOf the dummy loader" is to give the
shell men an opportunity to acquire

Of the shells without wearing out the

the ships in the navy to these drills,

One man opens and closes the breech;
the shell man grasps the projectile
and quickly rams it inside, followed
by the dummy charge of powder in

return chute on the left side of the
apparatus; the "take-off" man catches
the shell as it falls out at the end, and
shoves 1t again to the loader at the
front. The dummy powder charge is
handled in the same way, and the
whole makes a continuous operation
for the loader. BY the time he has

OFFICE ETIOUETTE.

Having been asked what is correct
conduct in an Office between women
and men, it can be, said in any place
1.-THE house of a friend, an Office Or
D public building man must walt
until the woman speaks to him. This
Is one OF the most rigid laws OF
etiquette, and is based upon common
sense, as well as consideration IN
effort to protect the women. 1t IS
always her privilege to speak or no.
as she chooses, and man OF innatc
courtesy, even if he has not been
trained in such matters, recognizes
this and waits for her to make the
first advance.
Therefore,, in an office it is expect
ed that the strange woman will be-
the first to recognize her fellow work
ers, and a man who seeks to bring
himself to her notice is committing
a rudeness There is this, however,
to be taken into considerations
the man is much older than the wom-
an and is actuated by sincere dc.
sire TO help her in her new position,
he may do so, and of course( would
thus make advances, says writer in
the Washington Star. 1t would be a
stupid woman who did not distin-
guish between motives of friendly In
terest and impertinence.
Truth to tell, old employees can do
much to make the work of stranger
easier, and 1t is only a kindly act that
should be expected. Every Office has
its routine to which all must be &C.
customed, and one who is helped 10
grasp them more quickly falls into
the line of work than if left alone
to discover them. Each employer
has certain eccentricities that a
stranger may be shown bow to avoid,
she may be- made familiar with
the peculiarities of the work and be
saved many a weary and discourag-
ing hour. If she happens to be the
only woman in the Office, obviously q
man must be the one to do this kind
ness for her, and if he shows this
wish in gentlemanly way she should
meet his friendliness in the same
spirit.
It is certainly the part Of good
manners from her that she shall say
good morning to her associates as
soon as she goes into the Office on the
first day of work. Her co-workecs
must not be ignored, Just as to rush
into a breezy conversation with them
would be mistake, because of as
familiarity. 1t is always a good plan
to make haste slowly in adjusting
cnes self to new acquaintance, anl
it is better to be too formal than

TALKED TO THE CLUB.
j. B. Dignam of Kansas City Addressed
Ad Club Today.

A well attended meeting of the To-
peka Advertising club was held this
noon at which ]. B. Dignam of Kan
sas City, who is connected with the
Hand-Knox Advertising company of
New York, Chicago and Kansas City
was the speaker
Mr.. Dignam's remarks were brief
but to the point and brimful of hu-
NOR. The subject chosen was Abra-
ham Lincoln as an ad writer. His in
troductory remarks which related for
the most part to after dinner speaking
were the cause of much merriment
among the members of the club.
This subject of Abraham Lincoln
as an ad writer is an old one with me,
but 1 am going to go from the rear
forwards said Mr.. Dignam. Lincoln
was the expert ad man of half CEN
tury ago. He was the first of his time.
His speech as a lawyer stamped him
as being an advertising man. Lincoln
knew less law but he understood men.
Do you think that if Lincoln lived to-
day he would have been a school
teacher? Not if Ivory soap would
have seen him.
Would he have studied law? Not
while there was mill grinding out
packages of breakfast food.
would he have been elected presi-
dent of the United States? Not while
the gold dust twins are at work.
when he took his pen in hand you
would know that he would make him
sell UNDERSTOOD IN a IeW WOrOS.
"On January "a, 1864, when he
wrote to General Hooker the first
paragraph read: I have this day
placed you at the head of the army of
the Potomac That did the work
was plain, precise and direct
"He always had something to write
about, and generally wrote that some
thing in the first paragraph.
do you think he would have classi-
fed as fresh. eggs that had shivered
themselves to death in cold storage for
months? Not he.
