Needing and wanting.

No man ever sank under the bur-
den of the day. It is when tomor-
rows burden is added to the burden
of today that the burden is more than
a man can bear.-George Macdonald.
The difference in the meaning of
the two words. needing" and
wanting" is well illustrated by the
disastrous experience of young
Chicago couple who got into trouble
with the federal authorities because
of the husbands efforts to counter
felt ten dollar gold certificates.
From her prison cell. the young
bride said to the reporters:
II am here because thought
could live on SOS a month. had
been used to fine things and when my
husband could not give them to me.

them. In his love for me he tried
to get them. Now know better.
would live with my husband and be
happy If we had only $25 month.
Oh, If only had it to do over again!
He did it all to please me. I wanted
to wear nice clothes. wanted
things too comfortable. What fool
I've been! I'm to blame"
This unfortunate young woman
used the word need" whereas she
really meant that she wanted" the
things that her husband committed a
crime to get for her.
The baby cries, II want it, want
it," but the person of mature judy
ment has learned to distinguish be-
tween genuine needs and mere
want, even amid the many tempta-
+tions of modern city life where GER
tain glamor is cast over reckless ex-
travapgance that gives 1t fascina-
tion for those who can i'll afford to
follow in the footsteps of the rich,
either idle or busy.
Consider for moment the extrav-
agances of the so-called middle" and
upper" classes. Theaters, cafes and
Iamusenents of all kinds welcome the
dweller in the city with open arms.
Luxurious apartments at fabulous
rentals house him while he supports
or helps to support a retinue Of ser
wants clad in gold lace. He rides
where once he walked-and the mod
co.. ..sxicab is more costly luxury
than its horse-drawn predecessor.

affair. financially.

Isistence upon the services Of an
lagency to which 1t pays twenty five
per cent commissions for providing
Itheater tickets adds greatly to the
cost of theater attendance. Added
to this is the "after-theater supper"
which in many communities is consid-
cred as one feature of the theater
party.
Many persons want" such things,
but do they really need" them?

some suspicious symptoms wait on
tne average whole year before they
seek treatment. To control the dis
ease with our present knowledge the
nrst thing to do Is to eliminate this
fatal delay. '---s
To do this it is necessary to I'M
derstand why patients are SO loath to
seek examination. A misapprehen-
sion which constitutes one reason for
reluctance to consult physician in
time, is the notion which still prevails
that cancer is constitutional dis
ease caused by some poison In the
blood. Those who hold this mistaken
opinion commonly believe that the
disease is hereditary and in a vague
way they think there must be some
faint handed down from one genera
ton to another which causes cancer
TO flourish in certain families. Such
mlsapprehension combined with the
notion which has long prevailed that
cancer is incurable and that 1t is OF
no use to try to have anything done
Tor 1t, accounts for the extraordinary
delay of the sufferer in seeking relief
in some cases.
A further probable cause is the
fact that cancer in the early stages
Is relatively painless. Many a sur
geon has wished that cancer in its
early manifestations might cause the
sufferer half as much trouble as the
toothache, in which case the patient
would surely be driven to seek relief
IN time. Cancer is at first local
growth and not general disease Of
the system. This fact is of the utmost
Importance, since it holds out the
high hope Of cure II the malignant
growth is removed before 1t has tina
to spread to other parts Of the body.
Cancer appears in other places be-
cause small particles or cells are car
ried away from the first site and start
new growths elsewhere. The great
hope of cure therefore lies in remov-
ing cancer entirely from the system
before it has chance to spread from
its first foothold.
The reason why so many people
come to believe that cancer was a |
blood disease is because 1t was OBJ
served to come again in the same or
other parts of the body after having
been apparently cut out. 1t was natu-
raj to assume that when the disease
kept coming back in this manner there
must be some faint in the blood. The
trouble was that in earlier times can
Ger was not really cut out. Surgeons
then did the best they knew how, but
without the advantages of modern
methods they were unable successfully
to exterminate the disease even In its
incipient and local stage. This was
principally because they did not, oper-
ate extensively enough. The micro
scope has now shown us the paths by

which cancer cells start their invasion
Of the body and modern surgeons are
repeatedly successful in removing the
disease once for all. Cancer Is not q
blood disease, and there Is no con-
elusive evidence that it Is hereditary.
Many efforts have been made to show
that the disease is transmitted from
one generation to another or that at
least 9 certain susceptibility to cam
Ger Is thus passed on. The evidence
on this point, however, remains in

much statistical and experimental evil
dence to show that heredity plays a

Fifty-five years ago today the

Town can only be maintained
with the greatest vigilence and
the cooperation of every one.
The Heath Department will do its

be lacking in giving the proper

addition to the sprinkling wagon
now in use, there will be another
wagon put in service within the
next few days; and this service
should very materially abate the
