The cheerful report that an actual cure
for cancer, which has increased five-fold
in the United States since 1850, is not
remote possibility. and that the condition
of cancer patients even now may be
greatly amelorated, is given out by the
director of the Cancer Laboratory of the
Department of Health in this state as d
result of experiments performed upon
animals during the past year In view of
the habitual caution of medical men in
stating conclusions, this announcement
indicates that vast progress has been
made in the fight against one of the most
fatal and terrifying of all diseases and
this fact is borne out by no less an au-
thority than the American Medical Asso-
citation. phamphlet issued by the AS
ISOLATION for distribution to the lay pub
lie from its headquarters in Chicago sums
up the progress that has been made in
the study of this disease and points out
that much has been accomplished in
learning it's nature as a necessary pre-
liminary to the establishment of a cure.
Hence" says the pamphlet, I'VE may
endorse the statement of Ehrlich. that
the beginning of the end of the cancer
problem is in sight BY the systematic
pursuit of the principles of cancer
growth and immunity already discovered
by means of animal experimentation. we
may confidently hope to prevent the oc-
currence of some cancers, to bring others
to a standstill and greatly to reduce the
incidence and mortality of this disease
DR.. James Ewing, author of the panph-
let in question, recently stated that more
had been accomplished in the s-udy and
treatment of cancer IN the past seven
years than in the preceding ten centuries.
Curiously enough this affection is least
among the poorly nourished and over
worked, and occupies the unusual posi-
ton of a disease against which improved
standards of living apparently afford no
protection. In spite of this popularity
and of many unsolved points, as, for in
stance. why it is more frequent in we'll
wooded and well-watered mountain re-
gions. the overcoming of this disease
seems now to be only a question of re-
search and time.

Ut is remarkable how close a par
alIel can be drawn between the
marshals Of Napoleon and the gem
erals Of Washington. Nearly ev-
CRY one of the commanders Ia the
American revolution had his proto-
type among the generals Of division
or of brigade under Bonapartc.
In the army OF Napoleon there was
man untutored, big, blur and brave,
who perhaps was more beloved by the
common soldier than any other In all
the legions Of the great COrsican. He
could read very little and write less.
When he did write IL was difficult Tor
anyone to decipher his meaning He
had his own style OF letters and his
own method of spelling His wife
could neither read nor write, but she

large tract Of land and become the lord
! OF the southwest. But the Natchez In
! dams made IL uncomfortable for the
| adventurers, and neither the British
| king nor the Spanish king had any use
| for such an enterprise, so Putnam and
| his party returned to the north with
nothing but experience TO show for
| nearly a year Of labor
Wars wild alarms were under way
when Putnam reached home. II was
the beginning Of the acute stage in the
train Of events that brought on the
Revolution. Putnam. by reason Of his
| experience In the French and Indian
wars, in the Siege Of Havana, in the
Pontiac war. and by his vigorous quick
ways. was looked upon as the military
leader of Connecticut. There was a re-
port OF a massacre in Boston This
turned out to be false but Putnam
gave an evidence Of how many men
he could bring into service within a
short time by gathering nearly 10000
within four days The assembage OF
this big force so alarmed Gen. Gage at
Boston that he began repairing the de-
lenses Of that port with the utmost
activity.
In those raw days Of the Revolution
Putnam showed his strength and his
weakness quite as much as he ever did
He never stopped TO reason he was
guided altogether by impulse lie was
extremely good natured, kindly and
yons,dsiute.
The news Of the battle OF Lexington
was the big event for which Putnam
had been waiting. He hurried to the
front at once, AT the battle OF Bunker
HIN there was no commander Gen.
Ward was old and overanxious. Al
though Putnam was nearly so he was
fiery spirited ana as impetuous as a
boy Of 16 DIR. Warren tried TO keep
the balance between these two men.
There IL no doubt that Putnam did bet
ter service at the battle OF Bunker Hin
than he did at any other place In the
Revolutionary war, and that the great
result accomplished by the raw troops
that day in holding the British regulars
was owing to his Inspiring example and
great courage. He was the foremost
figure, too In the work following that
great engagement lie was so restless
and active, so energetic that he never
let the men remain die: he kept them
intrenching. kept them stirred and busy
morning. noon and night. He was ever
ready for a fight His was just the
spirit 70 keep alive the intense feeling
Of that day If he had not been re-
strained probably he would have gone
right into Boston.
When Washington arrived and took
command he discovered Immediately
the worth and weakness OF Putnam.
Thereafter the two men were the
most stcadfast OF friends. Upon the
evacuation Of Boston Washington sent
Putnam TO take command at New
York Putnam had been made n major
general New York was "a Tory town.
and he had great deal Of trouble In
looping tho natriots from massacreing
the leading Loyalists.
