CAUSE OF CANCER.


We are probably nearer the truth
regardinc these growths than we
were fifty yeas ago; but we have
much to learn and many more facts
must be elected before anyone thing
can be r. garded as the true alG cnly
cause for c; ncer. Every year brings
tofth some Ssw theoy a. ta a.. cause
of malignancy, yet we are still very
much in the dark. AS newly discov-
cred facts become known, science
rules out old superstition We have
some facts t. learr concerning the
precise nature of malignant growths. /.
and it is we'll now to know that can

Cancer of the lip is more frequently
encountered among smokers than
among non-smokers. Carcinoma Of

Caucasian race. In Ceylon and India

Ger because of the chewing of beetle
nuts and holding the plub in the

those who use tobacco.
Cancer of the stomach is rare con-

press upon and destroy nerve tissue
which is necessary for the ;nainte-

fact of size which counts for the dis

indeed, there are many other forms of
tumors that may be of various sizes

pear in great bulk; their mischief
has been done in many cases before
their size and weight even become an
inconvnience. The usual course of a
cancer is gradual poisoning to the
point Of death. There are many in
stances in which death ensued from
bleeding.

would have soon disappeared from
the view OF men.
There are many towns and COM
munities here in the Southwest that
fail to accomplish anything because
they haven't the right class Of citi-
zens. The prevailing note is one of
doubt and pessimism. No enterprise
can be started that is not already
doomed to failure according to these
gloomy prognosticators. And for this
very reason most of the enterprises
do fail for they are talked to death
before they can be got under way.
dare say there isn't a small town or
country community in the entire
Southwest that could not be vastly
improved within the next year IL the
people would only work together for
the common good. And majority Of
these same towns and communities
might be absolutely made over in a
few years time II there was the prop
er spirit of cooperation among their
citizens.
You had as we'll quit talking about
the weather and wanting to move;

work and try 10 make your communi-
ty one Of the favored spots. II you
can't get the neighbors to work to-
gether for the common good, start at
home and try to make that model
Of comfort and convenience. That
will help some, and at least convince
others that you are in dead earnest
about the proposition.

Natural advantages do not make a
great state or great nation. Some
Of the richest countries OF the globe
are inhabited by some OF the most
worthless and most dissolute peoples.
In semi-tropical climates where fruit
ripens and falls ready to be consumed
the natives are so lazy that they
won't even shake the trees to make
it drop. Their few wants are easily
supplied. A brush arbor will do for
shelter, a loin cloth for clothing,
bananas and cocoanuts for food. They
prefer to lead lives of Incidence and
ease rather than possess themselves
of the many good things they might
have by small exertion.
New England Is naturally one Of
the most bleak and barren sections OF
America. 1t was settled by English
Puritans who were Industrious, fru-
gal and thrifty. They made the most
Of their own resources, and then
branched out to trade with the out
side world. We all know the result.
New England became rich and pow
erful and has welded tremendous
influence on American life and man
ners from the beginning to the pres
ent time. Suppose the early settlers
of that section had spent their time
in bewailing the fate which had cast
them on that rugged and inhospitable
coast instead of on the fertile shores
of Louisiana or in sun-kissed Texas.
By such course they might have
easily wrecked their own lives and
have bred race of weaklings who

each. quite number of herds four
hundrd pounds each, and so on up,
and that a few individuals have pro-
duced from nine hundred to twelve
hundred pounds each, and so on up,
may readily see that it is easily with
in the reach of all to develop herds
that will make real money, If the
proper thought be given to it.
1t is not presumed that every man

can produce record breakers, every
man can produce really profitable
herds, If he has a fixed purpose to do
so. A few high producing cows will
yield handsome profit. A large
herd of average cows will yield no
profit at all, but in most cases will
be kept at loss.

Hog raising is one way to utilize
the surplus grain and the waste acres
as pasture. Hogs consume an enor-
nous amount Of food, but they make
rapid gains, usually mature quickly
as compared to other animals and are
among that class of animals that re-
produce the species rapidly Money
invested in swine should bring divi-
dends sooner as rule than when in
vested in cattle or sheep. Every farm
should have enough swine to supply
