TROUT SPREAD CANCER, INVESTIGATORS HINT
State Laboratory Holding Out High Hope Cure Wants
to Experiment on Humans.

Albany, y. Y.-Having successfully
treated animals afflicted with cancer,
Harvey Il. GAYLORD, director of the
State Cancer Laboratory at Buffalo
calls on the Legislature to furnish
money for experimentation with
human beings.
'The only basis uDon which work
of this kind can be DONE says Gay
lord in his annual report, ''is where
the patient submits himself for ex-
perimental purposes, aud 1t is neces-
sary under such conditions that the
State should pay the maintenance of
the patient. 1t is impossible to un-
dertake systematic work of this kind
unless a sufficient number of patients
can be placed under observation to
make the figures sufficiently conclu-
sive to corroborate any conclusions
which may be reached. Funds suf-
ficient to enable us to maintain ten
patients Is the least amount which
can be of value II this work is to be
undertaken"
The report holds out strong hope
for the cure of the disease. Concern
ing experiments with animals the re-
port says:
''It appears that where the resist
ance of the animal is not sufficiently
awakened by incubation of the tumor
this resistance can he heightened by
repeated doses and, in considerable
proportion of cases, immunity can be
raised to point which will bring
about a cure. 1t is needless to point
out that this process of repeated vac

Cupid And Cost. OF Living.

The relation between the cost of
living and the activity in the is
suance of marriage licenses is re-
cognized as intimate, even though
the economists may not be able to
express the subtle fact in a mathe-
matical formula. But there can be
no doubt that Cupid keeps an eye
on the market prices of provisions,
even though he may have little use
for the tailor.
There can be no doubt that this
sprightly promoter of felicity has
abandoned the old fallacy, enticing
but illusory. that two persons can
live as cheaply as can one. Per-
haps that untruth in domestic mathe.
matics took form at a time when
girls were different in some material
respects from the maidens of today.
1t was once the fad that they should
be delicate, without appetite, TAX
ing food after the manner of birds,
with anemic results. They were
more fond of cakes and sweetmeats
than of prosaic bread, potatoes, and
roast beef. In those days there
might be more economy in the femi
nine menu, even allowing that cake
costs more than bread. But the girl
of today is brought up to be buxom
and robust. There has been a reac-
tion, both sensible and widespread.
She takes proper pride in her ap.
petite and in her muscles. which she
has learned are not at all inconsis-
tent with gentle sentiment. She
emulates her brothers in fondness
for the open air and for suitable ath-
letics.- Washington Post.

SAYS NEW YORK IS PASTORS GRAVEYARD
Dr. Carter Tells His Congrega on Clergymen Are Not Properly
Encouraged in New York Cty-More Than Big Pay Needed

New York City.-New York has
been called the graveyard of minis
ters," the Rev. DR.. William Carter
told his congregation of the Madison
Avenue Reformed Church at Fifty
seventh street. in a sermon on the
Lords Prayer"
Dr.. Carter discussed freely the diff
fculties of a minister in carrying on
the work of a large church with it's
many exactions and the conditions of
life surrounding him. He did not
mince words. Too much criticism,
he said, has been and is being di-
rected against pastors. Perhaps. he
suggested. it might be we'll to turn
the criticism the other way and let
the members of the congregation as
well as the large number of church
members who are seldom seen in
their pews ask themselves honestly if
they are trying to give the encourage
ment and aid to the pastor so much
needed for successful work.
when | realize that the year |
was broken down in health after but
two years service here. there were
three other New York ministers away
for a year for the same cause" said
Dr.. Carter; when I realize that one
who was away had committed suicide
in fit of melancholia and another
died Immediately on his return: when
/ realize that still another has just
died. so suddenly that it was shock
to his congregation. while a fourth
has been driven from his pulpit
through discouragement and despair,
I feel deeply how true the phrase is
that New York City is the graveyard
of ministers.
"Of all the pastors of large
churches in New York City 7 know of
but one or two who have encoura ge-
ment in their work and the right
kind OF ioy in their service. When
you consider that three of the largest
pulpits in the city are vacant. and
call after call has been refused, not
withstanding the large salaries Of

seem to be stunning rather than
seeking New York City pulpits.

DR.. Carter then referred briefly to
the difference in his former pastorate
as the minister of a large Presby-
terian Church in Kansas City, and the
conditions as he had found them in
New York City since he was called
to succeed Dr.. Abbott E. Kittredge
as pastor of the Madison Avenue Re-
formed Church. A great many are
crying ont against the conditions of
the church. he added. The preacher
and the plans of the church are dis
cussed and criticised. but few think
of coming nearer home and trying to
ascertain if some of the fault is not
their own.

tide it is easier to conform than to
