From that time forward Mrs. Yor-

Now, the colonel. despite his hobby
this belief that he really hated the soft
er sex-was I'M excellent man. He had
been Tilted in his youth by a girl who
was unworthy Of him, and, strange to
say, she was to him in his maturity
the only saint in the lot.
The remarks quoted above were made
to the majors wife, who, by the
way. was Il warm friend and admirer
OF the colonel, preliminary to asking
her to get him a h~ousekeeper. 1t was
a month after a promise to that effect
that a woman arrived from the east
and was duly installed in the position.
Her hair was grizzly gray, her cheeks
furrowed, her eyes covered by dark
brown goggles. and she was dressed in
execrable taste. The colonel thanked
the majors wife and said hat Mrs.
Yorgany was just the thing. No such
unattractive creature could possibly
have the assurance to try to snare him.
Mrs. Yorgany possessed but one at
tractive feature, a pleasant voice. At
first the colonel would give his orders
for the day to his housekeeper as he
would to the ad%jutant, and when she

he found himself soothed by the
smooth tones in which she spoke. One
evening when the fire in her room
wouldn't burn he invited her to sit
with her sewing beside the table In his
living room. He was much interested
in a book he was reading and wanted
some one to talk to about 1t. For one
hour while he talked she listened at
tentively, but spoke never a word.
The next day the colonel informed the
majors wife that his housekeeper
might be homely. but she was an ex-
cellent conversationalist.
The next evening the old lady, being
again turned out Of her room, was
pressed by the colonel to sit by bis

inform her OF his opinion Of women. he
did so and with his usual brusqueness
when speaking on that subject. What

CAUSE OF CANCER IN CHINA
Eating Of Steamlng Hot Food Respon-
slble for Prevalence Of Disease
Among Men.

In China, when native family sits
down to dine, the men Of the house
hold and the male guests, If 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 commence to
eat Immediately the dishes of steam
ing hot food are set before them.
Rice, COW peas and other things are
bolted hot The women have to be
satisfied with only lukewarm dishes.
So much for etiquette. Now for the
consequences. 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 meeting Of the Imperial Can
Ger Research Fund held in London. He
said. in referring to the alarming in
roads made by cancer among China
men, that the frequency of the disease
would be diminished II such practices
as the eating Of very hot rice were
discontinued. The rice the women
eat is cool and non-irritating, and
they rarely contract cancer.
