The Craze for luxurieS.

The craze for Injuries is one of the
prevailing ills Of the times 1t is per
fectly natural for men and women to
want the good things of life, but it is
mighty bad policy for them to attempt
to get these things when they have not
got the means.
This fact is emphasized by a report
from Boston, which says that many Of
the residents Of that once conservative
city have sacrificed their homes in
order TO indulge in the luxury of
motoring, The story Of a man selling
his home for the purpose of purchasing
an automobile was formerly regarded
as a good joke for the audeville artists,
but now it has become tragic fact.
The report from the Hub may be ex-
aggerated, but there is no reason to
doubt that thousands of persons go to

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1913

The Journal of the American Medl-
cal Association has published its annu-
al census of medical students. ithnds
that the number of students in the
United States for the year ending June
80, 1913, was the smallest since 1900.
The Journals compilation shows a
total of l70l5 students, which is de-
crease of PA compared with the year
1911, and of Adj compared with the
year 1910. The number is LIP below
the registry of 1904, when high water
mark" was reached. Ofthe total num-
Der of students, 1869 were in attend
ance at the so-called regular colleges,
$50 at the homeopathic, and 2o6 at the
eclectic colleges. The attendance at
the regular colleges shows a decrease
of 1868 below that of 1912 and 2,5Oo be-
low 1911. In the homeopathic colleges
there was an increase Of twenty-three
above the attendance of 1872 but de-
crease of forty below the total for 1911.
The eclectic colleges show decrease
ofifty-two below 1912 and decrease
OF III below 1911.
With regard to women physicians
the Journal says there has been "a
very marked decrease in the number OF
women in medicine since 1910, when
there were 90T women students and
I57 graduates, and in 1909, when there
were 92l women students and 1872 grad
uates.' For 1913 the summary shows
there were $40 women studantS, thir-
ty-nine fewer than in 1912 and forty
below the record Of 1911. The percen-
tage OF women students TO the total
number of medical students was 3.S as
compared with 81 in 1912. There were
l1i women graduates this year.
The output of pyshlcians at present
is smaller than for many years, but
there is no doubt that there has been
overproduction in that line, and that
while there has been decrease in num-
Der for the last decade and more there
has been gain in efficiency. The medi-
cal colleges are, likewise, becoming
fewer in number, but those that re-
main are better qualified for their
work-a survival Of the fttest which

The apparent remarkable increase
in cancer mortality has given impetus
to scientific research with a view to a
better control of the disease.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association calls attention to the
fact that cancer statistics from various
countries ARE sometimes so much at
variance as to suggest either that the
mode OF life and external conditions
mast play large part in cancer or
that the statistics given do not repre-
sent the true state of affairs"
An analysis Of statistics recently
gathered in Norway shows that in that
country the disease is more prevalent
among men than among women. This
IS contrary to the showing made in the
data for other countries. The differ
ence is not large, From 1863 to 1895
there were y, Oi6 deaths from cancer.
These deaths were about equally divid.
d, but as women constitute more than
| percent, of the population of Nor
way the conditions noted elsewhere
seem to be reversed in that there is
no reponderauce Of the disease among
women.
Another difference that is noted is
the unusual number Of cases of canoe,
OF The stomach. In n series of 0J2a
deaths from cancer $500 were caused
from cancer of the stomach. For the
ten years ls96-l9O7 following the PERIOD
covered by This series, there we're lG,.
26j deaths in Norway due to cancer, o.
which l2,1'2 were from cancer Of TIA,
stomach. In the province of NordlanC
there were 30 deaths from cancer
during I896-l9OI Of which gl3 wer,
from gastric cancer.
The Journal expresses the conyictlo,
that the Norway statistics were gath
cred with real care and under favor
able conditions. Itseems "reasonab
enough, therefore, to believe tina
social and other conditions play dc
cisiye part in the development Of car
GER" The Journal thinks there i
great need jn this country for the az
cufate study OF cancer from this angle
There are number Of theories wit
regard to the origin Of this destructiy
maladyi but all Of them lack conclusiy
evidence Of their accuracy. Interes
in the subject is now SO great that sta
istics are being collected in varios part
of the world. This will form basi
for comparisons and for more INTEL
gent study than has been possible /

Lure OF the City.

People flock to the cities for the adj
vantages there offered, and find disad
vantages. Parents sell their whole
some country homes on account o.
their children and go where there are
grand churches, superior schools anc
attractive libraries, to find themselves
close to drinking saloons, gambling
dons. dance halls and indescribable
allnrements to vice. Is that better for
their boys and girls, or is the new at
mosphere heavy with influences that
are a peril? There are fifty churches
in a city and a thousand saloons. The
saloons are open every week day, all
day long and far into the night. Boys
and young men are not attracted to
the churches The saloons hold out
all sorts of attractions to beguile them
within their doors. What wonder
that 50 many city boys grow up with dis
appetites and depraved tastes.
A gentleman was recently heard to
say: GAS | go along the street the

New York Post: The adoption by
the House Of the Banking and Cur,
rency Bill, which declares that no
thing in this act contained shall be con-
strued to repeal the parity provisions
of the act of March II, 1909, has been
hailed as a victory for sound money
Failure to adopt it--even failure to
adopt it by an overwhelming majority
would indeed have been sad blow to
sound money; but just how much OF a
victory that cause has won is matter
upon which estimates may easily vary.
