WAYS Of AVOIDING CANCER
New York Board of Health Has Issued
Warning Which Is Worth Careful
Attention.

The new York board of health has
issued a circular warning the public
of the increasing danger from cancer.
From this it appears that at the pres
ent time one man in every fourteen
and one woman in every eight over
the age of forty die of cancer. Can
Ger claims $4,000 victims every year
in the United States.
The board of health gives some ex-
cellent suggestions as to the best way
to avoid cancer. The most important
of these are not to permit any irrita-
ton of the tongue by contact with
broken or decayed teeth, and not TO
neglect any swelling of the skin. lips,
tongue, etc.
A wart on child is rarely anything
but wart; on an adult it is likely to
be the beginning of a cancerous
growth.
In its earliest stages cancer can
generally be cured by a simple op-
Grafton; in its later stages 1t is gen
orally incurable, though some forms
of it in some parts of the body have
been eradicated by the radium treat
ment.

the fact that several years ago, while

Don w. Lusk, who has worked sue
cessively on the Santa Fe New Mex
ican, the Las Vegas Optic, the Albu-

AID and made good on all of them, has
listened to the call of the wild and

ram rod on the Independent, whose
editor, E. NJ. Brumback, has consented
to serve the people as postmaster for
four years, anyhow. 1t is a little diff

a village like Silver City. but there
have been some precedents, and it will
be to the distinct gain of the Independ-

sioners. They may ask to have it in

two methods may be selected as being
