Only a Thought.

Just little thought was sent to
bless
Some loving friend in need;
And it filled a heart with happiness;
Twas a precious gift indeed.
Another heart was sad and dark,k
Twas a life with many care;
But the blessed thought was a .liv4
ing spark
In its valley of despair.
A desire to many a heart it brought
For higher. purer goal;
Oh! the power of a blessed thought,
To save a loving soul.
Send forth our loving thoughts to-
night,
Let them wave in the crystal ain;
Silent messages of light,
Which are carried everywhere.
And in the end they will return
Unto the one that cast;
For, after many days they come
To be our own at last.

Just out of San francisco a heavy

answered from out the clouded distance
by other syrens and whistles.
The weird orchestra of befogged
steamships frightened the little Isen-

of their uneasiness was conveyed to
Mrs. Isenberg who sent wireless mes

literature met again at the home of
Mrs. Frear and as usual proved a great
success. Meredith's "Egotist" was
the subject treated in regard to its
place in literature and qualifications
These classes are very delightful and
tend to open the way for a more tho
rough investigation and appreciation
of authors and their works. Mrs. p.
L. Weaver is the lecturer and has
charge of the preparation of the course.
A great many who attended last years
classes are at present away either on
the mainland or on the other islands,
a fact which is greatly regretted.

subject for next Wednesdays discus
sion, and all who are interested and de-

daughter. who reside in Belmont av-
enue, into Mysteries.
Also two big blacksnakes, OF a va

of the district, have been encountered

Snakes" Miller, plasterer, cap
tured and imprisoned the other.
Now, these three serpents were all
subdued within an area of less than
600 square feet and near the residence
of DIR. o. c. Joslen in Woodland av-
enue. The doctors neighbors say
that the monsters escaped from cap
tivity in his back yard. where they
were being held prisoners, but this
the medical man stoutly denies. His
wife insists that the last OF their pets
died a year ago. and the doctor de-
clares they passed away some four
months ago. Both insist that no
snakes ever escaped from them. but
that all were gathered in by the grim
reaper.
However, the snakes have been en-
countered and slaughtered amid con-
siderable hysteria among the women
citizens, and not a few quakings
among the men.

dence and must have some bearing
upon the solution of the problem. But
the true theory must explain all the
facts; and the theory that meat causes
cancer does not explain the well-estab-
lished fact that in all those countries
OF Europe in which the consumption
of beer is high mortality from cancer
is high, and in all those in which the
consumption of beer is low mortality
from cancer is low, unless the people
who eat most meat consume most
beer, which is true so far as England.
Germany and America are concerned,
but is not true of Greenland in which
meat consumption is very high, beer
consumption is very low, and mortality
from cancer very low nor does II ap-
ply to semi-cannibal tribes, in which
meat consumption is high, beer un-
known, and cancer unknown, accord
ing to DR.. Sem.
Pawlow, Russian chemist, has
shown that for each particular food a
particular digestive fluid is secreted.
The system must adapt itself to the
VI CdNh PhA AANhiaA AOOH
and IL is reasonable to assume that
complexity in the food, extreme vari'
ETY., as we have II in England and
America particularly, would tend to
the disorganization of normal cell
growth, would lead TO abnormal pro
liberation, which is cancer A great
variety in food must interfere with
normal metabolism; cells having a
preference, for instance, for animal
food, might proliferate in a manner
different from those selecting vegeta
BILE food.
All the facts, all the statistics, sup
port this theory and indicate the ma
tural means of immunity. and the ma
tural cure when the disease has been
contracted.
Cancer rarely occurs before mature
life, the most susceptible period being
the age Of 40 to SO. During the period
OF growth, when albumen. from which
cells are formed. is needed In large
proportion, and when waste and re
pair are more active, cancer is rare
but when the supply of albumen is ex
cessive, and the diet in general com
plicated, as 1t is with the weather.

SAVED BY HER STEEL "RATS"
Blows Of HIghwaymen RaIned Upon
Woman's Head Rebound from

Chicago. Although saved from
death by steel rats" IN her hair
while fighting two footpads who
robbed her of diamonds and jewelry
valued at 81 500. Mrs. Mabel Moore OF
California avenue was under the
care of a physician for several days
She was beaten severely.
The robbery occurred in front OF
Mrs. Moore's home. Leaping from be-
hind clump of bushes, the two men
thrust revolvers against Mrs Moore's
head.
Drop that sachel or wen kill YOU"
said one of the footpads, pressing the
muzzle of his revolver against her
forehead
Mrs. Moore sprung aside, knocked
the revolver away and tried to run up
the stairway of her home. The next
moment she was seized The robbers
beat her on the head with their weap-
ons until she sank unconscious ON
the stairs. Then they took the chate-
laine bag OF her wrist and fled.
That the woman's skull was not
fractured by the robbers blows, the
police say, was due to the rats" she
wore in her hair.

tumors, was taken also Father Cor

Edward II. Hartman has been cut off
in his prime, and the loss of one OF the
nations presidents from this cause
comes to mind In view of these
facts 1t may be said that cancer is the
direst blight OF humanity and every
new prospect of the discovery of its
real nature, its cause, and consequent
ly it's cure, is profoundly alluring.
The late eminent DR.. Nicholas Sem
twice circled the globe on this great
quest-a search far more important
than for the location of the north
pole. After visiting all classes of man
kind. from the Greenlander, Subsisting
on blubber, to the lowest tribes in Az
rica he could only say that cancer is
disease of over-indulgenece.
In recent years gratifying progress
has been made in determining the ma
tlre of cancer by means of expert
ments on animals.
The facts thus obtained have
thrown much light upon its de-
velopment, but thus far no conclusion
has been arrived at as to its true ma
ture, the means by which 1t may be
prevented and the specific cure.
The true theory of the cause of can
Ger and its cure must be found by
reasoning from the data furnished by
those experiments conducted on both
sides of the Atlantic, all OF which are
at the command of independent inves-
tigators together with the statistics
of deaths from cancer recorded in this
country and in Europe.
1t has often been pointed out that
cancer is rare in those countries in
which the consumption OF meat is
lowest-India, China. Arabia, Italy,
Greece-and highest in those in which
flesh food Is most used-England,
America. France and Germany--and
the conclusion. has been drawn that
flesh eating is the cause OF cancer.
This IL at least a remarkable coinci-
