No Cure for Cancer Yet.

In his annual report Dr. E. F. Bash
ford, general superintendent Of re-
search in the laboratories Of the i'm
perial cancer research fund, told the
members of the society that during
The past year there had been y claims
to the discovery Of a cure Tor cancer
All of these had been investigated and
no justification for any one VI these
claims had been obtained. Doctor
Bashford also said women were more
liable to cancer than men. In England
and Wales in 1910 the death rate from
cancer was $50 per 100000 for men
and 1910 for women.
AS the London Times says editorial

Grace, with hands locked upon her

her, as If turned to stone. The little
fenced-in box, hanging high above ca

without, gusts of merriment shrieked
