that for a long time, until the vision

No Cure for Cancer Yet.

In his annual report DR.. E. F. Bash
ford, general superintendent of re-
search in the laboratories of the i'm
perial cancer research fund, told the
members OF the society that during
the past year there had been IL claims
to the discovery of cure for cancer.
All of these had been investigated and
no justification for any one of these
claims had been obtained. Doctor
Bashford also said women were more
liable to cancer than men. In England
and Wales in 1910 the death rate from
cancer was $50 per 100000 for men
and 1910 for women.
AS the London Times says editorial
ly in commenting upon this report:
The only reasonable expectation OF
curing cancer still rests upon its com
plete removal by the surgeon at the
earliest possible time after it is dis
covered. Medical Record.

At Church In Holland,

In many parts of Holland men still
wear their hats in church. Moreover,
smoking in church is not considered
irreverent by the Dutch when service
is not in progress. and, it is said, even
the ministers sometimes indulge in
this practice.
Altogether, Dutch Professionalism is,
it would seem, from certain stand
point, a comfortable form of religion.
One may keep his hat on in church,
which saves him many chill; he may

show him to his pew or to offer him a
chair; and he has nice drab pews of
painted deal all around him and a
cheerful "two-decker" pulpit above.
