Cancer of the Breast.

In cancer of the breast the danger of
delay is equally apparent. In the mild
er form, called adenocarcinoma. the
percentage of cures in all cases was
T6, but in the late caSes-i e.. those in
which the cancerous nature of the tu-
NOR was already obvious to the eye
it was much less. In these early
cases there is a warming lump in the
breast, but no outward sign of malig-
nant tumor. In the more malignant
forms of breast tumor the general per-
centage of cures dropped to SO and in
late cases to 80. or one patient out of
three. But even here the cures in early
cases reached So per cent.
In operations for cancer of the lip
the reports show 100 per cent of cures
N the earliest stages and 70 per cent
of cures after complete operation in
the later stages.
The evidence so far collected on early
cancer also gives an opportunity for q
message to the people who seek help
in the later stage of cancer. Although
the chances of cure here are less. the
disease in many instances is by nc
means hopeless.

FARMER MAKES $3.50 AN ACRE
George Baxter of Vesper Makes Big
Profit on Pickles-Expects In
crease This Year.

Vesper.-That pickles are by no
means an Improbable crop for the
Wisconsin farmer. providing a good
market is near at hand throughout the
ripening season, George Baxter of Yes.
per can furnish interesting testimony.
He owns a quarter section of cut over
pine land near Nesper which he
bought, stumps included, nine years
ago. From less than a half acre of
the quarter, seventy-three square rods.
IN 1913, he sold 1856 bushels of pickles
weighing 9,7S7 pounds. He received in
return, as the records at the pickle
station show, $12657, a rate of better
than $3.50 an acre. 1t was Mr. Bakers
first experience with pickles and in
telling of his big yield he says if he
had known at the beginning of the
season what he learned by the close
of it the yield could easily have been
made $3.50 or even 5000 for the haD
acre.

FAVORS HOUSEWIVES UNION
Madison Home Economics Teacher
Urges Women to Band Together
For Wholesale Purchases.

MadisOn.-In an address before d
session of the women's course in home
economics, conducted by the Uni.
versity of Wisconsin, Miss Abbie Mar
latt of the home economics depart
ment of the university made a strong
plea for unionism among housewives
in America. The purpose of the union
advocated by Miss Marlatt is not only
to protect women from INSCRIPTIONS
dealers, but also to educate them to a
full and just knowledge of the condi.
tions they must meet in their homes
in regard to labor, food and textile
problems. Speaking of labor problems
Miss Marlatt stated that the standard
of wages for labor should be eff
cheney. Increased efficiency should
mean increased wages. She dwelt up
on the maxim that no woman should
order household in such a way as to
enslave any human being. Miss Mar.
latt pointed out the fact that the de,
mand for servants by far exceeds the
supply, and offered two possible solu.
tons of the problem. One was for
the housewife to do her own work.
and the other was to engage prOfes
sional help by the hour.

Teach Agriculture in state Schools.

Teach Agriculture in State Schools.
The rapid growth of agricultural
work in high schools of Wisconsin was
sketched by State Inspector H. n.
Goddard before the county superin-
tends. whose first session of two
days annual meeting opened in Mad
ison.
Sixty-three high schools are now
giving four-year courses in agricul-
ture, and practically all high schools
are giving some agricultural instruc-
ton. There are seven county agri-
cultural schools. all with fine equip
ment but with a deficiency in that
credit is not given in many high
schools for the work they do Mr.
Goddard said this shows that the PEG
pie feel demand for agricultural
work connected with a strong high
school course rather than for that
which merely trains boys for the
farm.
Inspector Goddard saw a great
need for better trained teachers. larg-
er and more definite equipment, and
better development of an efficient plan
of work. How to make the work of
more practical interest to pupils and
communities is an important problem,
he said. The solution, he said, In
wolves field work. community work.
home projects. corn growing projects,
etc. A more intimate acquaintance
with current literature and such
means of improvement as institutes,
and farmers courses were recon-
mended.
Superintendent G. b. Rhoads of
Naukesha advocated continuance OF
special state aid for rural schools. he
believed that the county superintend-
ent should be given power to certify
the conditions upon which rural
schools should be granted or denied
state aid. just as state inspectors are
authorized to name the requirements
by which graded schools become en-

dress.
The governor said that whatever is
done to give relief and establish jus
tice involves expenditures of money
which can come only through taxa
ton.
Il believe firmly that every dollar
paid out by the taxpayers brings in
return as rich and profitable as the
dollars they spent themselves. The
first requirement is that the money
be spent profitably and equitably and
it is also necessary that it be raised
equitably. A fearless and just enforce
ment of the law is essential. 1t is
source of satisfaction to feel that
during the past few years in Wiscon'
sin a very marked advancement has
been made along the line OF equal
and Just taxation"
