Unpopular Move

Realty Bulletin: The recent in
corporation of San Gabriel has been
productive of seemingly unpopular
move by some of the residents of that
quaint and historic old village to
widen it's main street at the sacrifice
of some of its country-old adobe build
ings. So great has the opposition to
this plan become as to lead to the or
ganization of the "San Gabriel Wo-
mems Club" the avowed and highly
commendable mission of which is to
preserve the natural and historic
landmarks in and around San Ga
briel.
Frank Virgins, Charles F. Lummis
and John S. McGroarty are throwing
the weight of their influence against
the sacrilegious attempt to obliterate
the picturesque old buildings now
grouped together in the old mission
town, silent reminders of day and
age long since vanished.
These humble structures, now time
and weather beaten, are in them
selves eloquent and commanding ap-
peals against the sacrilege of their
demolition at the behest of matter
of-fact commercialisn.
1t is to be hoped that San Gabriel
as we now know it, and as the out
side world pictures tan old mission
town-will be spared to us and
those to follow in all the romance Of
its fine picturesque setting.

fighting forest fires, but the Forest
Service is not government bureau
that expends money just because it
has been appropriated 1t was able to
carry all but $4,000 of that over to
the ensuing year.
1t is expected that, as soon as the
timber on the national forests comes
close enough to favorable markets to
permit the entire annual yield to be
cut and marketed, the total available
for sale will average 6,000,000,000
board feet, bringing, at present stump
age prices, S15,O0O,OOO. Of this the
states will receive more than $5,000,-
900. 1t is estimated that the wages
the working up of this timber supply
will distribute will amount to $780,
100000.
One of the biggest land deals ever
put through took place last year in
interests of forestry. The State of
South Dakota held some school land
in the Black Hills National Forest, and
a proposal was made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture that the state ex-
change this land for other land of
equivalent value and acreage. The
state agreed and was permitted to Sc
lect the land given in exchange from
the Harney and Sioux National For
ests. The deal exchanged title of co.
900 acres of land.
The forest service is at work trying
to devise system of reforestration
suitable to American conditions, and
affording the most successful and
cheapest method of growing timber.
1t takes about 10000 acres of land
and plants it in forest trees, some of
it by seeding and the rest by trans
planting. 1t has a seed-collecting or
ganiZation, and has four great me-
chanical seed-extracting plants in op-
eration-one for yellow pine, two for
lodgepole pine,. and two for Douglas
fir. Thirty-seven tons of clean seed
were gathered and bought during last
year. In the reforestration operations
an average of 900 trees to the acre
were planted.
During the coming year it is ex
pected that as many as 100000 baby
trees will be distributed to settlers in
Western Nebraska for the purpose of
reforestration. Each settler will be
allotted something like a thousand
trees, enough to set out an acre Of
ground in forest.
The Forest Service gradually is
showing to the people of the commu-
mites in which it operates that it is
their friend and not their foe, and in
this it has ably seconded the pioneer
work of the National Conservation
Congress. But at the same time there
are those who assert that its policies,
as well as those put forward by the
congress, are inimical to local inter
ests, and they propose to be heard
when the congress meets. The Ore
gon opponents of forestry principles
are coming to Washington in force,
and they are going to use the con-
gress as a forum from which to de-
clare their opposition to it's propagan-
da. The fight wifiNprobably be mer-
~ one, but it is in line with the pol
icy of the congress to- have all sides
heard, the ants as well as the pros.

CANCER OF THE
WOMB
it's Symptoms and Progress and its
New Treatment
by
ELECTRICITY
as used by
DIR. TOEL
The Chicago Specialist now in
DALLAS
to introduce His Methods.

Cancer of the womb is one of the
most fatal diseases from which
countless women die, simply because
it is not diagnosed in time. If rec
ognized in time it is as durable as
other forms of cancer There are
two forms: Cancer of the body of
the womb which is a comparatively
rare disease, and cancer of the neck
and mouth of the womb, which is
very frequent.
Cancer of the neck and mouth of
the womb usually appears about the
time of change of life. The bloody
discharge which is one of the first
symptoms is frequently mistaken for
a temperance Of the monthly flow.
Later on severe pains call the atten-
tion of the patient to her womb,
while the extremely i'll smelling dis
charge that appears in the. later
stages finally induces the woman to
see medical help. While in the first
stages there appears at the mouth of
the womb a caulihower like growth
which beeds at the slightest touch ;
in the later stages this becomes ne
crotic and liberated away causing
the i'll smelling discharge, and a
large liberation eating deep into the
womb and often into the bladder and
reetum, causing a horrible death.
While usually cancer Of the womb
appears after the middle of life,
cases are known where it appeared
far earlier. DIR. Toel having seen a
well defined ease in a woman Of only
q years.
In most eases Of cancer Of the
womb all kinds of patent suppositor-
les and ointment are used for a long
time. the cancer meanwhile growing
on undisturbed. Later on physic-
ian may be called in who may pos
sibly apply eaustics. Later on a sur
geon may be seen who will advise
cutting out the cancerous growth
from the womb or cutting out the
entire womb.
The caustie applications have the
danger Of all such remedies Of irri-
tating the cancer germs and cells and
driving them into the Emphatic
glands. thus starting new cancers.
Aside Of this the long continued
pain. hours or days. Is often unbear-
able. The cutting operations have
the danger of inoculating the fresh
cut surfaces with cancer germs and
cells and in addition surgical shock
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1913-05-27

and loss of blood combined with the
danger of blood poisoning hard to
avoid in such locality. Aside of
this the woman is unsexed if the en-
tire womb is removed.
DR.. Toel has for many years given
up the use of the knife or scissors in
cases of cancer Of the womb for he
soon found out that electricity gave
him far better results.
Where there is caulhower
growth this can be quickly removed
with the low voltage current opera
ton without the loss of a single
drop of blood and with so little pain
that the use of ether or chloroform
is not necessary In cancerous ul-
cerations these are destroyed with
the very high voltage current, while
when these extend into the vagina
he uses a new method invented by
himself with alternating medium
voltage.
A great many patients have thus
been cured that would have little
show under caustics and knife opera
tiOns.
Every woman that notices a bloody
discharge aside Of the time Of her
monthly flow, or an i'll smelling mat
terry or watery discharge should con-
suit specialist right away
DIR. Toel has for 30 years made
speciality of electrical operations and
treatments.
