Pre-. .Cancerous Treatment,

DR.. ]. B. Murphy OF Chicago calls Sir VIII
liam osler of London to remember that though,
as he says, 90 per cent of the people may have
tuberculosis in some form, 9S per cent OF this 90
per cent are steadily being cured. The result.
therefore. is encouraging and hopeful. And how
is this great percentage OF cures effected? Sim
ply by centering the attack of the treatment on
the causes more than the effects.
And the new slogan on cancer is going to
be the pre-cancerous surgical treatment" says
DR.. Murphy. I'm other words, that means the
stopping OF cancer before II begins. So many
things which tend to cancer announce them
selves months and months before the cancer
comes that prevention is comparatively easy"
In view of the visible conquests already
wrought in the crusade against tuberculosis we
need not take this prediction as mere specula-
tion. The same science that has learned to
adopt the method Of prevention with respect to
one disease can do 30 with another. 1t was only
yesterday that tuberculosis was regarded nearly
as incurable as cancer, as perhaps It Is in its
ultimate stages, but that is Just the point; sci
ence no longer waits for It to develop to its final
stages before attacking IT, Even the laity now
knows how to employ the simplest and most
effectual means OF prevention--plenty OF fresh
air sunshine, rest and wholesome food, with
sanitary surroundings in and out OF the home.
In other words, normal living will win where
everything else loses.

A Municipal Affairs Watchdog.

recommendation is under consideration by
the Commercial club for a commissioners OF
municipal affairs to have charge OF bureau
dealing with the clubs activities in this field
The usefulness of such a commissioner would
depend entirely upon the man at the helm and
the scope of the duties imposed upon him. 1t
would be easy enough to conduct merely an
information bureau, but to stop there would &C
complish little The newspapers in Omaha as
in every live city, and particularly The Bee, are
constantly throwing the searchlight of publicity
upon municipal affairs they transpire. As
from time to time questionable conditions are
uncovered The Bee habitually calls the atten-
tion Of the taxpayers and various business and
civic organizations to abuses which should be
abated, extravagances that should be stopped,
needlessly high tax levies. official carelessness
and inefficiency, but we must confess that ord-
narily 1t is hard to arouse to action.
II the Commercial club, the Taxpayers
league or Improvement associations, one, or all
of them together, would put man on the firing
line to serve the public interest without fear or
favor and unhampered by special interests, he
could make the Job worth while by making good

THE OLD HOME.

Last night I sat in my cottage
And thought, as l often do
OF the old farm house in Essex,
Half hidden from the view;
Where through the leaves of ancienN
trees
The sunlight gently falls
On the ivy clinging tenderly
To the old brick walls.
My cottage in America
Is but a name TO me,
For my heart Is back in Essex,
In the home across the sea.
In fancy oft 1 wander through
The narrow garden gate,
And, pausing, breathe more softly,
Lest come too late;
For across the sunken threshold
The fledglings all have flown,
And left two old parents there
Growing old alone.
Our paths, they lie so far apart
For 1t is fate's decree
That they should be in Essex
And l across the sea-
pause beside the old armchairs
Before the fireplace,
Where the Pickering light illumines
Each dear beloved face;
And STOPPING low I press kiss
Upon each withered cheek
With lips that cannot utter
The words I long to speak.
see them smile and know their
Are over here with me-
While mine are back in Essex,
In the home across the sea.

LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE
 TOO STRENUOUS FOR THEM
(Skagway Alaskan, July P

In the Daily Alaskan of July mention was made of the departure for the Outside after fifteen years continuous residence 1T the wilds of Southern Yukon, of Mrs F. C Broaden and her five little girls all of the latter having been born since the arrival 1T the North of their parents in 1900.
 It was the mothers intention to take the children to Vancouver, B. C., and place them in school for few years, while she would make her home there and look after them
 When they were here, although only 8 few miles in distance and few short hours in time separated the travellers from their home, 1t could be seen that their hearts were already filled with longing to re turn To them the marvellous sights which they had seen upon their arrival in White horse-the electric lights and the snorting iron monster that carried them swiftly away from the scenes to which they were accus- toned, were objects which they regarded with wide-eyed amazement, but which, through reading and from the converse ton of chance visitors whom their parents had entertained, they were in measure prepared for and ready to hail with de light; even the huge floating palace which lay in the SkagWay harbor to convey them over a thousand miles of water to their destination had not the power to eliminate from their minds and hearts the memory of the land they loved
 They left here on the Princess Sophia on July g; they got into Vancouevr, B. G. on the following Monday, and when the vessel left port for the North on last Saturday they were all on board on their way back to the Big Salmon, the place from whence they had started only such short time before with childish visions and dreams of the fairy land to which they were hasten ing.
 Six days of constant excitement were spent in the bustling Canadian city, and during all that time the clang of the street cars, the toots of the auto horns the cease less human footsteps on the pavement of the passing throng, and even those sub dued but constant noises that marked the early hours of the morn so got upon their nerves that they were unable to sleep; they lost their appetites, which had never
