This question would arise,

What shall say or do?
And then / answered: Yes, there Is
A Santa Claus for you.
He comes to you on Christmas eve,
But let me tell you this:
He's with you when you hug your dad
And when his cheek you kiss.
He's with you when you say your prayers
To God, who reigns above.
Sometimes he has another name.
We grown folks call him Love.

When others bid you doubt.

THE RIDDLE or CANCER.
New Theories About the Disease and
the Search For Cure f

New Theories About the Disease and
the Search For Cure 3
More has been learned about cancer
during the last ten years than during
the previous ten centuries, which Is
only another way of saying during the
entire history OF medicine. 1t has been
negative. II Is true. but the work of
elimination has now been completed.
We are Mt last on the right track.
One after another of the old theories
OF It's origin has been eliminated 1t
has been suggested that II is caused
by eating fish or fesh or tomatoes or
cheese, or what not. But facts do not
support any of these theories. II was
once supposed to be a white mans dis
ease and not to be found among the
uncivilized. That is now known not
to be the case. 1t is found among all
civilized, but nevertheless among them.
All vertebraes are subject to 1t. 1t is
not now thought to be hereditary. con-
genital or ordinarily communicable.
What, then, is 1t? BY careful study
OF infected mice and rats the theory
has been evolved that cancer Is due to
independent cellular activity. Cancer
Is not something that comes into the
body from the outside. 1t is some
thing which grows up from the inside.
1t Is as though certain cells of the
body grew up and went wrong. us
though certain soldiers in the army
turned traitors and fought their own
brothers. Why this is so we do moi
yet know.
There has been found In some AMI.
mails natural immunity from cancer.
and that Immunity can be artliicially
induced This Immunity is either nc.
tive or passive. The Crocker fund
has found 1t possible to immunize ami,
mails by Injections of killed cancer
cells prepared in such manner as to
leave intact the active substances.
Moreover, cases of spontaneous recov-
cry of human patients are known to
exist. Why did they recover? They,
can only be accounted for If such
thing as immunity. does really exist.
The problem Is to find out what this
immunity Is and how to produce 1t.
Its existence is certain. Dr. Ehrlich.
for instance. has done much In the
study of artifcially produced immu-'
nifty from cancer In small animals.
He has found that If mice are inocu
lated with an inactive strain of cancer
they throw 1t off. and later If an ac-
tive cancer strain is inoculated they
have acquired immunity from 1t

Herr Niederhauser, the sculptor, at
the instance of the Geneva director of
police took a plaster imprint of the

Empress Elizabeth, after his suicide.
and a portion of the murderers hair
was found to have adhered to the plas-
