The Herald editor has never
knocked" any individual or any
enterprise of the town although
many hammer has been used on
him. He has always had a good
word for his competitors in business
and no matter whether a certain
firm or individual patronized him.
he has given them fair and honest
treatment. 1t is true that the busi-
ness men of Hurley have been asked
to give the Herald their work and in
most cases the request has met with
ready response. A few of our busi-
ness houses are too. slow to adver-
tise and one or two see fit to order
their stationary and printing from
outside concerns, while they are all
the time fighting the mail order
houses and asking for our patron
age.
Despite these little hindrances the
Herald editor and family feel that
Hurley is good town to live in and
are still determined to make it their

Surgery for Cancer.
I'm tie american Review OF Reviews

From tie american Review OF Reviews
Fortunately this hope can be held out.
that cancer Is durable in the early stages.
but in general terms by only one proce-
dure. namely. operation. Between the
mysterious nature of the disease and the
fondness of the public for being deceived
by speciouS statements and allurements,
the opportunity for charlatanry and
quackery Is immense. There are ghouls;
IN every profession. and in the medical
profession there are not wanting those
who will wiilfully deceive by any means
which will enable them to extort money
The public need to be taught this: No
real scientific man nor honorable practi-
toner Of medicine ever issues ADVERTISE
ments or famboyant circulars stating
that he can cure cancer by open or Sc
cret methods. The honest practitioner
may believe that certain cases deserve to
be held out a prospect Of cure, but he
neither advertises in order to secure them.
nor promises anything more than his best
effort toward curing them. Any man
who does more than this should be dis
trusted. Nor is there any advertising in
stitution in this country, nor, 50 far as
known. In the world. which holds out
hope to the afHicted which is really wor-
thy Of patronage. This Is broad state
ment, and there may be possible excep-
tons, but In a general way it is certainly
true, since they all either pretend or
make specious promises of much more
than they can perform. Let the public
then, be taught to distrust every man
and every institution Of this character;
they. are conducted for revenue only, and
not for the real benefit Of mankind

PROGRESS OF SLANG.
Coinage Of New Words and Their
Course to the Dictionary.

from the MonllcT.
The question, when does slang become
language?" indicates by its very form
that slang is essentially transitory III its
nature. The greater quantity OF it passes
away. leaving no remembrance; a smaller
part finds comparative oblivion in the
pages of slang dictionary. Smallest of
all is the portion that passes into Ian
guage, either directly or by first rising
into the rank of colloquialism, and from
that position being ushered to a place in
the dictionary.
As the speech of familiarity slang nat
uraily springs up wherever groups of peo-
pie are pursuing common end. 1t is
the particular largon of certain levels or
modes of existence. or of some school,
trade, profession or game. Technical
words used for show or expressions in
tended to be understood only by men,
bers of certain set or clique come under
the head of slang. Usually it is either
illiterate in origin or artificial in inten-
ton; more rarely is il Il conscious at
tempt to supply q need.
Now and again, however. one of these
words or phrases does fit an occasion SO
neatly as to show that it came in re-
Spouse to a demand. This fortunate ar
rival may be an idiom whose gradual
growth finally attracts attention. or ii
may be the sudden shaping o. words TO
q. new requirement. Such an idiOm has
won its place by evolution. and in the
process has been modified to be
free from any element of rudeness or of
unpleasant association clinging to its be-
ginnings. If of more speedy growth the
newcomer must stand the test of intrinsic
merit When it hits off in q word or two
some modern condition, invention. occu-
patton or paStine for which there Is no
adequate locution, it's path into the stand
ard vocabulary is free. In both cases the
slang has justified itself as idio1n in the
making.
In this connection it is point of Curl
Gus interest what will be the final verdict
upon the phrase. Come off, meaning
TO cease bantering, quizZing or the like.
