Is Cancer Caused by Hot Foods?

In China, when native family sits
down to dine, the men Of the household
and the male guests. II there be any, are
served first. Their food comes to them
steaming hot. The women must wait until
later to be served and by that time the
food has grown cooler. The men COM
mence to eat Immediately the dishes of
steaming hot food are set before them.
Rice, COW peas and other things are boiled
hot.
So much for etiquette. Now for tbs con-
sequences. In China cancer Of the
oesophagus, or throat. is common among
men. Among Chinese women the disease
is very rare; practically unknown.
All of this, and more, was reported by
Dr. E. D. Bashford at the recent annual

He stood nobly by the job,
Raising corn upon the cob;

Divers sorts OF garden truck;
Bees that pilfer from sweet

But enough - ere summers

With no frills, or noise, or

Made a fortune in one season
Used some headwork-that's

Has no need to figure cheaper;
Eats big dinners on the diner

in progressive agriculture of today, bu,
also shows how it is being stimu ated BY
the agricultural courses in our schools
and colleges:
All of the qualified men in this years
graduating class in the College of AGri-
culture of the University of Wisconsin
have secured positions aud the requests
for teachers are still coming in. The de-
mand is especially strong from Agricul-
tural high schools. both in Wisconsin and
other states. Many of the requests are
for men who have been brought up on
farms, have had some teaching experience
and have had thorough course in Agri
culture. The demand for such instruc.
tion in agriculture for high schools is very
much greater than the supply. Even as
early as four weeks ago. most Of the
seniors had accepted positions as farm
managers, as research assistants, or as
teachers of agriculture in the colleges and
secondary schools. The average salary
of the men who will teach next year in
agricultural schools is 81, 253.
