meeting of the American society for
the control of cancer that the failures
OF lauium outnumber the cures 100 to /.
That nothing is OF avail against the
most dreaded disease but the speedy
uSo Of the knife was the opinion ad
vanced by DR.. william II. Mayo OF
Rochester, Mimi.
Operations the only cure bat radium
ray treatment IL In order as a temporary
palliative whore operation Is impossible,
according to DR.. Francis @. Wood dlrec-
tor Of cancer research at Columbia Uni

turtles, he said, show that heredity plays
small; part, if any AT all in Its appear
ancc.
The members Of the society united in
saying that they had discovered neither
the cause nor the nature OF cancer Then
they proved by statistics that cancer is on
the increase.
That n chang" in the habits and customs
may reduce the disease to some extent
was a ray Of hope held out by DR.. Mayo,

Under the new bill, bank examiners

will be examined at least once a year

that stockholders of record at any

Loans on farm lands cannot be made
