cate Disease

Colorado Springs, Sept. 12.-Statis-
tics showing that the mortality from
cancer increased $40 per 100000 pop
aiation for the average of the five
years ending with 1905 to 74.3 in 1911
We're cited by Or. f. l.. Hoffman Of
New York, in an address before the
American Public Health Association
here today. Early and radical surgi-
cal treatment, DR.. Hoffman said, was
the only cure thus far discovered for
many forms Of internal cancer
Even though the cause. or causes
of cancer were discovered" said Dr.
Hoffman, lit would, no doubt, re-
quire many years before such know
ledge could be successfully applied in
a deliberate campaign to reduce the
cancer death rate. For the time be-
ing, public attention requires to be
directed TO the supreme importance
Of early diagnosis on the one hand,
and the earliest possible operative
treatment on the other. This conclu-
sion even applies to many forms OF
internal cancers, which are invariab-
ly fatal unless the patient submits to
an early and radical surgical treat
ment."

STATE FAIR WILL BE HELD
Everything in Readiness, with Plenty
of Water

White River Junction, VT, Sept. 10.
"A rumor started some days ago
that owing to a shortage of water on
the state fair grounds no fair would
be held there this year.
There is absolutely no truth con-
nected with the statement said Sec
rotary Davis today In the first
place there is ample water in storage
for all our needs during fair week,
and what's more, it's good water. We
have never run short yet and we
have more water in the reservoir
than on some previous fair weeks.
All visitors to the fair will be sup
piled with all the water required for
their needs and the great number of
stock to be exhibited won't go dry,
either. / had heard the story in cir
culation quite a number of times, but
so trivial was it / did not consider IL
worthy a denial till today when |
was told it had been started by NAL
icious persons with the intent of in
iuring the state fair The fair will
be held on the dates advertised, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, Sept. 16, II, Is and 49, and II
we have the right sort OF weather
we will have the greatest attendance
in our history"

Woman's Wit.

An emperor of Germany besieged a
city which belonged 20 one of his rebel
lious noblemen. After the siege had
lasted for a long time the emperor de-
termined 10 take it by storm and TO de
stroy all It contained by fire and sword.
He did not. however, wish to injure
the defenseless women. Therefore he
sent n proclamation into the town say
ing that all the women might leave the
place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. The
nobleman's wife instantly decided To
take her husband. and the other wo-
men followed her example. They soon
issued from the city gate in long pro
cession. each one with her husband on
her shoulders The emperor was 50
much struck with the noble conduct OF
the women that he spared all. Even
the city itself was left untouched.
