NUT "A BLOOD DISEASE.
Cancer causes thousands Of prevent
able deaths because people do not seek
surgical treatment in time, even after
they know they have the disease. So
insists the Journal Of the American
Medical Association, and it continues:
Surgeons with practices SO extensive
that their reports furnish a reliable
guide have shown that cancer patients
even after discovering SOME suspicious
symptoms wait on the average a whole
year before they seek treatment. To
control the disease with our present
knowledge the first thing to do Is to
eliminate this fatal delay. To do this
it is necessary to understand why pa
tents are so loath to seek examina-
ton. A Misrepresentation which consti-
tutes one reason for reluctance to con-
suit a physician in time, Is the notion
which still prevails that cancer is a
constitutional disease caused by some
poison in the blood. Those who hold
this mistaken opinion commonly believe
that the disease IL hereditary and in a
vague way they think there must be
some faint landed down from one gen.
Grafton to another which causes can
Ger to flourish in certain families. Such
INTERPRETATION combined with the
motion which has long prevailed that
cancer is incurable and that it is of
no use to try to have anything done for
it. 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 IL
relatively painless. Many a surgeon has
wished that cancer in it's early mani
festatiOns 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 a local growth and not a
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
it has time to spread to other parts OF
the body. Cancer appears in other
places because small particles or cells
are carried away from the first site
and start new growths elsewhere. The
great hope Of cure. therefore. lies in
removing cancer entirely from the sys-
tenn before it has a chance to spread
from it's first foothold.
The reason why so many people
came to believe that cancer was q blood
disease Is because it was observed to
come again In the same or other parts
of the body after having been appar-
emily cut out. 1t was natural to as
sumo that when the disease KEEP
coming back in this manner there must
be some faint in the blood. The trou.
BILE was that in earlier times cancer wal
not really cut out. Surgeons then dit

wonder IL Old Man Coyote had left the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows.
Then he jumped to:ithe conclusion
that he had. Just because he didn't
find him in the places, where he was

away. ts {.
Like great many others who Jump
at conclusions Sammy Jay didn't
wait to make sure that he was right,
but at once hastened to spread the
news He knew that It would be good
news. the very best of news, to a great
many Of the little people Of the Green n
Meadows. especially those who had to
be always watching out for Old Man
Coyote lest he gohble them UP. So he
spread his blue wings and hurried
over to the dear Old Briar-patch to
tell Peter Rabbit. He quite forgot
that he and Peter were forever quar-
relling. E.
oh, Peter, I've great news!" he
screamed as soon as he was near
enough for Peter to hear.
Peter sat up. SO full OF curiosity that
he,- too, forgot that he and Sammy
were not the best Of friends. What
Is it?" he asked eagerly.
"Old Man Coyote. has left the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest. He's
gone away" replied Sammy Jay.
"Hurrah!" shouted Peter. kicking
his long heels together. "Are you sure
Of it, Sammy Jay?"
But Sammy was already on his way
to tell Danny Meadow Mouse and
couldn't stop to answer. Danny was
just as much pleased as Peter, and
he and Nanny Meadow Mouse had a
little celebration all to themselves.
You see, it meant just one less worry
for them. Sammy hurried up to the
Old Orchard to tell Johnny Chuck,
who didn't seem to care. and then flew
over to the Smiling Pool. Jerry
knew by the way Sammy was hurry
ing that he was very much excited.
Sammy Jay has got something on
his mind" said Jerry to Grandfather
Frog. Il wonder what has happened

not with themselves. but with some
one else who isn't to blame at all.
Sammy Jay did. The more he thought
1t over the angrier he grew. And
whom do you think he was angry
with? Why, Old Man Coyote! Yes,
sir, Sammy Jay was angry with Old
Man Coyote for not having gone away
when he, Sammy, had said he had. OF
course that was perfectly silly. but do
you know there are lots Of people just
as silly as that? They do foolish
things and then try to put the blame
on others. OF course Old Man Coyote
didn't know anything about this. All
that time when Sammy Jay had been
looking for him and couldn't find him
he had been very busy, very busy, in
deed. He had been making a new
home. You see, he had felt that he
could not live with any peace Of mind
in his old home in the far corner Of
the Green Meadows now that Farm
er Browns Boy knew where 1t was.
He would never feel safe there again.
That meant that either he must leave
the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest altogether or else that he must
find a very secret place in which to
make a new house, q place where no
one would think to look for him. 1t
was just this last that he decided to
do, for he liked the Green Meadows

reached everything has to be. ..,unpack-

Most people. dread moving. With the
little people of.Ghe Green Forest and
the Green Meadows changing. from
one home to another is different. They
have nothing to carry but the clothes
on their backs, SO there Is no pack
Ing or unpacking. Just the same, 1t
usually means whole lot Of work.
You see, most of them build their own
houses. That means that II they have
to move from, where they have been
living they cannot go out and find
another house already for them to
have got to build that new house.
There are few, Just few, who are
not particular or at all fuesy and are
| willing to live in old houses left by
other people, but even these have to
be fixed up q little usually. So most
! OF them won't move, particularly in
| the middle Of the season, unless they
feel that they must.
| Old Man Coyote felt that he must.
He felt that never again would he
have moment's peace of mind so
long as he continued to live in his
present home in the far corner Of the
Green Meadows. Old Granny Fox had
led Bowser the Hound to # and Bow
ser had led FaEHsr Browns Boy to, .it,

Man Coyote had watched: him from q
hiding place and had wondered ct
what he saw. OF. course, he couldn't
know that Farmer Browns Boy had
had a change OF heart--that he had
begun to realize how terribly unfair
and cruel traps are and 60 had made
up his mind never to set another.
But if he hadSknown this ii: would
have made no difference. Old Man
Coyote would have been afraid that
! Farmer Brown's.Boy might take it IN
! to his head to try to dig him out and
kill him, or hide near by to shoot him
with his terrible gun. No, sir, he
never could live. In peace in that home.
| There was no Question about that.
And it was such a nice home!"
sighed Old Man: Coyote. ut Just suit
ed me. I don't believe will be able
to find another place to suit me half as
we'll And; to think of all the work

He sighed. Then, because when he

on the far corner of the Green Mead

look at his home and started to look

The Pumpkin.

The Pumpkin.
<Thanksgiving Poem by John Green
leaf Whittier.)
On the banks Of the Xeuil the dark
Spanish maiden
Comes up with the fruit of the tangled
vine laden,
And the creole of Cuba laughs out to
behold
Through orange leaves shining the
broad spheres Of gold.
Yet with dearer delight from his
home in the north
On the fields of his harvest the YAM
kee, looks forth,
Where crooknecks are coiling and
yelelow fruit shines
And the sun OF September melts
melts down on his vines.
Ah, on Thanksgiving day, when from
east and from west,
From north and from south, comes
the pilgrim and guest;
When the gray haired New Englander
sees round his board
The old broken links of affection re-
stored;
When the care wearied man seeks his
mother once more
And the worn matron smiles where
the girl smiled before,
What moistens the lip and what
brightens the eye,
What calls back the past like the rich
pumpkin pie?
Oh, fruit loved of boyhood, the old
days recalling,
When wood grapes We're purpling and
brown nuts were falling:
When wild. ugly faces we carved IN
Its skin,
Glaring out through the dark, with
candle within;
When we laughed round the corn
heap. with hearts all in tune.
Our chair a broad pumpkin, our lam
tern the moon.
Telling tales nf the fairy who trav-
eled like steam
In pumpkin shell coach, with two
rats for her team!
Then thanks for thy present. None
sweeter nor better
Fer smoked from an oven nor cir
cled a platter
Fairer hands never wrought at a pas
try more fine,
Brighter eyes never watched Ger It's
baking than thine.
And the prayer which my mouth is
too full to express
Swells my heart that thy shadow may
never beress.
That the days of thy lot may be
heightened below
And the fame of thy worth like n
pumpkin vine grow.
And thy life be as sweet. and its last
sunset sky
Golden tinted and fair as thy own
pumpkin pie.
