No Cure for Cancer Yet.

In his annual report DIR. f. F. Bash
ford. general superintendent Of re
search in the laboratories Of the i'm
perial cancer reasearch fund. told the
members of the society that during the
past year there had been IL claims
to the discovery Of a cure for cancer.
All OF these had been investigated and
no justification for any one Of these
claims had been obtained. DR.. Bash
ford 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 1t Is dis
covered. Record.

Pie Social,

This affair cannot net a very large
sum, but 1t will afford a great deal of
fund, and l am sure that the men and
boys will appreciate it, because their
love Of pies is proverbial.
The girls furnish the pies and the
men buy them, for only pie and cof-
fee are served for refreshments. Any
kind Of amusement may precede the
eating Of the pies. 1t is just for nov

L. Anderson Smith. writing to Q
friend in the Old Country, located at
Killam, Alberta, Says:
anyone taking up land will find Al
berta an ideal province. The soil is q
rich black loan, varying from to IL
inches in depth. The land here in
this district is not wholly open prairie.
At intervals, sometimes closely, some
times widely scattered, there are
small plots Of poplar and willows.
These generally grow round some
small depression in the land, and the
snow drifts here in the winter and
melts in the spring filling these
sloughs (province 'slews") with soft
water. Nearly all these sloughs have
old buffalo tracks to them, for 1t was
from them that they always got their
water. The poplars are very useful
for building barns and hen.houses.
Wild grasses are plentiful. while tame
grasses such as timothy, bronze and
western rye grass do remarkably well.
