THE CANCER PROBLEM
And the Real Obstacles to Progress

The Importance of this subject is
well recognized by the public and the
profession, especially when statistics
show that out of every death of per-
sons over 35 years of age, one in eight
is due to cancer
we make the sweeping statement
that the old plaster treatment or prin-
ciples of medicine caustics when skill
fully and judiciously used would cure,
at least, $3.50 of all people afflicted
with external cancer provided the pa
tlent falls into proper hands at an
early date.
1t is unfortunate, fearfully so, for
the public and those afflicted with can
Ger that the regular profession, in
stead of being an aid to this line of in
vestigation and work, is The Main
Hindrance
In the form of medical ethics, which

Were they to put more time and study
upon the real subjects before them
and less attention to their ethical
ideas, it would be better for the public
The difficulty is men are only hui

by the teaching that the knife is the
only remedy for cancer. The great

ing in common with the ordinary
green or grass frog, so far as size is
concerned. He often eats several of
the ordinary frogs at meal, without
giving the matter a second thought. In
color, also, he does not resemble the
ordinary frog, for his is dark green, al
most black, on top and bright yellow
or cream color on his belly AS to
eating qualities, the big fellow is de-
licious. Novices cut off his hind legs
and eat them. but others cut off his
head, remove the entrails, skin him
from his neck to his toes and fry him
in butter. Prepared in that way he
will still weigh half pound, and were

than half dozen to make mess for

supposed represented the hidden mys-
teries of the science of medicine. But,
alas! we must remember our teachers
are only human and are subject to
error, and that this old teaching upon
this subject effects tremendous pref
udice in our accepting it without in
vestigation on it's merits. l find that
the great masses of people afflicted
with cancer have consulted their home
physicians early and late find that
the average physician is positively as
ignorant, either of the diagnosis or the
remedy for cure of cancer, as the
most ordinary unprofessional citizen.
This is sweeping statement, but it
Is true. Perhaps the greatest cause
OF this prejudice against the system
OF medicine or caustics for cure of can
Ger Is due to a lack of experience and
instruction in this definite line, and
the human race good. In many in
stances the physician has seen the
hopelessness of treating with the knife,
and frankly told his patient SO. This
course is better than to hold him
under treatment, as many do, doing
nothing himself and giving the pa
tient no chance Of relief anywhere
else until it is everlastingly too late.
Now, if physicians would go outside
Of the profession and outside Of its
teachings and again go to the public
for ideas they will find that almost
universally the public will prefer, and
in many instances demand, that the
physician use a medicine or nothing.

STILL MORE LANDS
Over One Million Five Hundred Thou
sand Acres for Settlers

Sioux Falls-Ali of the conference
reports on the Pine Ridge and Rose
bud opening bills have been approved
in both house and senate and went to
the white house for the last act need
ed to make them laws of the land.
Senator Gamble got the reports ac-
copied In the senate and Chairman
Burke guided them safely through the
dangers in the house. These bills
throw open to settlement 100000
acres of land in the southern part of
the state. Registration points will be
selected by the department and the
applicants will have to Journey to one
or these points to deposit their appli-
cations. AS chairman of the Indian
committee Burke has succeeded in
passing a large number of big bills
since December 1. Besides these two
important measures he has pushed
through the omnibus bill, the appro-
prlatlons bill and the Cheyenne liver
bill. All these measures have been
OF immense concern to the state. The
last OF the bills, which opens to set
tlement the counties of Mellette on
the Rosebud reservation, and Bennett,
on the Pine Ridge, brings the first
break il the Pine Ridge reserve. 1t
also cuts the Rosebud reserve down
to the one county of Todd, and it will
not be long until the Indian reserva-
ton, as part of the state, will be
such minor quantity that it will not
be noticed. The opening of Mellette
county will no doubt stimulate the
extension OF the Northwestern road
from Dallas to the northwest across
Trip county. Some time ago that
company filed a resolution of extern
sion from Dallas to a point at the
southeast corner OF Mellette county,
and now that the county is to be op-
ened to settlement there will be
stronger reason for the carrying on
of the work.

Boys of Genesee Valley, New York,
Set Out Their Jacklights, for
the Season Is On.

Geneseo, N. Y.-At last the music OF
the frogs has begun and the boys are
now getting out their jacklights and
preparing for business. Thousands Of
frogs live in the big Genesee valley
swamp, six or seven miles up the val
ley, but the favorite hunting ground Is
not that locality, but the swamp above
Conesus lake, about an equal distance
from here.
The reason for this preference Is
that they are easier to capture there;
that the Conesus lake swamp is not so
difficult of access; also, that it Is the
favorite haunt of the big COW frog, so
called because of his voice, which
some liken to the believing of COW,
while others insist that it resembles
more closely the sound of distant
sawmill in action. The Groveland
swamp, on the other hand. contains
mostly the common variety, known to
naturalists as the grass frog
In hunting frogs at Conesus one
must take boat up the inlet and
swing along the reeds, and by holding
up a jacklight so dazzle the big
batrachians that they can be picked
up with the hand. This does not mean
that one can take his time about 1t,
however. When he proceeds to
gather Mr.. Cow Frog in he must have
his oarsman push the boat up close, SO
that he is within reaching distance of
the prey, and while he holds the light
with one hand, make a fell swoop with
the other. If he does not get his slip
perry friend at the first grab, he may
as well row along in search OF the
next frog. as the sudden movement
seems to bring the frog out OF his
trance. After a person once becomes
expert, though. he seldom misses a
grab.
The COW frog, be 1t known. has moth.

HIDDEN FRESCOES ARE FOUND
Interesting Discovery Accidentally
Made by Priest in an Old Church
In Italy.

Rome.-The interesting discovery
has been made that there are frescoes
in the church of St. Donata, near De-
ruta, in the province of Perugia. under
three coats Of whitewash.
The parish priest accidentally dis
covered the frescoe;; while removing a
nail from the wall, which caused a
piece of plaster to become detached.
The frescoes represent historical sub
jects. One is signed by De Panullo and
dated 1880. The. other inscriptions
have not yet been deciphered.
The frescoes are excellently pre-
served and we'll executed. They have
mostly been identified as the work of
the fifteenth century. They probably
extend through the entire church, part
of which is now used as a lumber
store.

SPIRIT OF CONFIDENCE.

1t must be admitted that these
things are as yet merely germs and
forecasts. Municipal statistics, after
all, is only an infant science. City
plans exist chiefly as fascinating
sketches in the studios of ambitious
architects, with an occasional emerg-
ence into public view at civic exposi-
uons. -partisanship is still look
ed at with suspicion by the old guard
OF loyal party voters. But they all
have truth in their favor. and. if
there is any virtue in the aiage, they
must prevail in the end. Time is on
their side: the tide is already run
ming with them. Hence a certain
spirit of confidence is in the air which
the early reform movement did not
have, and with this confidence a char
tty which the early reformers con-
spicuously lacked. A fuller knowl-
edge of the CompleNity of the prob
lens and of certain paraduxiCal at
tributes of human nature itself has
tempered their original aCrimony and
arrogance. Thus the people have
managed to educate their self
