what would be the ultimate conse-
quenCes? TheSlast of the major
diseases that shorten human life
and cause endless suffering would
have been conquered. This does
not mean that they would imme-
diately disappear, but there would
be good reason to hope that they
might all be eventually eliminated,
so that, after a time, death would
only occur either as a result of
accident or murder or of simple old
age. Men would live longer and
their lives would be-relatively free
from suffering.
What 1t Would Mean.
But would~they be content even
with that condition? Not in the
least. The next effort would be still
further to prolong life. Then the
question would be seriously debat-
ed-as it has indeed already been
debated - whether death itself
might not be banished. 1t is not
in the nature of man to be content,
and his Creator did not intend that
he should be content. His wonder
full powers were given to him in or
der that he might always seek TO
better his condition. He was not
placed in the position of a Sisiphus,
doomed to pass all his time in
pushing stone up hill, only to see
it inevitably roll down again. He
DOES GAIN something every day.
His progress is slow, but yet GER
tain. He was put into a world full
of enemies and given the means of
combating those enemies. Many
of them he has already conquered,
but many yet defy him. When he
has mastered all of his diseases a
new field for the exercise of his
genius will open before him. If it
did not he would WISH TO DIE,
and might welcome back the dis
eases as friends, for there is no
happiness for human nature except
in marching forward and accom-
plishing something.

Not Her Fault.

There is a lesson in this little
story from real life that every wom-
an who is at the head of a family
should pause and consider. For
this lady with the serpent's tongue
is not the only nagger There are
others, and If more husbands do
not get up and desert their wives,
against their mothers, II is be-
cause of the marvellous fortitude
and power OF endurance that some
people have.
II isn't the nagger's fault She
does the very best she can to break
up her home, and make life a bur
den to those unfortunates whom

which led to such accidents are in

If the causes which lead men and
women into crime can be traced
then there is d frmer foundation

pists to stand upon while they

1t is also the nagging of her de-

BY GARRETT P. sERvIss.

TN the August number of THE
COSMOPOL!TAN MAGAZINE
there is an article on THE
Conquest of Cancer" which is of
absorbing interest. for the simple
reason that 1t tells, in popular Ian
guage, the exact truth on a subject
about which there has been so
much sensational exaggeration that
the public mind has been perturbed
without being informed upon it.
The sad truth is that, at the
present time, the only sure cure
for cancer is the surgeons knife
and that is sure in only certain
special cases But doctors have
learned to recognize cancer in It's
earliest stages, when it often is
DURABLE, and that is vast gain
In itself.
Moreover, experimental invesu
cations are now on foot which give
at least the hope that a specific
cure may be found for all forms OF
cancer. Some of the lower animals
are the necessary victims Of such
experiments, and some people, who
apparently love dogs more than
they love men and women, make
a great cutlery over that fact. Such
people, whose sentimentalism has
gone astray, may be disregarded
when the object in view is an al
most immea surable blessing to hu-
manity. 1t would probably be i'm
possible to find anywhere men en-
dowed with a more sympathetic
nature, and a greater desire to ban
ish suffering from the world, than
those very experimenters
Terrible Figures.
Since, after all. selfishness is at
the bottom even of the soul of the
sentimentalist, some of the object
ers to animal experimentation as a
basis for improved medical science
may hesitate in their blind opposi-
ton when they are informed that
statistics show that one out OF
every fifteen men, and one out of
every eight women who have
passed the age OF 35 years Is doom
ed to die of some form Of cancer
This is not to say that death by
cancer is a mere lottery. 1t is not
as If fifteen men, or eight women,
shut up in room, were required
to draw from an urn containing
either fourteen white balls and one
black ball, or seven white and one
black, with the certainty that the
unfortunate who drew black must
die a terrible death. The meaning

Ella WANTS A

That all pioneers of Grand juno

The fact that this summer will be
the 3Oth anniversary of the founding

he told the girl.
Then he broke his parole and
went to Vancouver, B. c., where
he tried to forget his lonesome
ness by writing to Miss Wilson.
The girl in turn wrote him long
letters and refused to be shaken
in her faith in him.
The police were busy in the
meantime. They knew of the at
tachment between the young peo-
pie and they learned through let
tiers that Cation intended to re-
turn home.
Cation eventually arrived in
Berkeley, and it was while wait
ing to keep an appointment with
Miss Wilson that he was arrested.
Now Frank must spend two
years in a refornatory, but it is
reported that the girl has refused
to turn against him.

pied by the Edwards, removed

The Edwards complained to
the city attorney. The city at
torney pointed out that the house
belonged to Posluszng, and that
he could do, what he pleased with
his own property.
The next night, Posluszng re-
moved the inner windows of the
Edwards home.

The Edwards tried to reason
with Posluszng, but it was mouse.
PosluszRg wanted his rent, and
unless he. got his rent, he was
quite willing to tear down his
own house over the heads of the

Edwards is mad now, and says
he's going to stick in the house
