How Simple INDIGESTION May Lead to CANCER

The length of time during which indigestion
is suffered from before cancer of the stomach
appears is, on the average, eleven years. Cancer
could probably have been avoided in great ma.
jorty of cases if the Indigestion had received
proper treatment in its early stages, when 1t Is
by no means difficult to handle.
One reason why many persons neglect their
stomachs and lay themselves open to the danger
OF cancer is the common belief that cancer is q
hereditary disease which hardly be escaped.
If 1t is "in the family" The most reliable au-
thorities at the present time. however, hre
agreed that there is no proof that heredity plays
any part whatever in causing cancer. This con
clusion is, of course liable to modification, for
cancer remains one OF the diseases about which
we have the least definite knowledge.

This is all wrong. Indigestion, however
slight, should receive careful medical attention.

At any rate. nearly everybody likes homemade

and important reason why this preference Is
sound

trely than with persons who feed homemade.
He thinks the for this lies in the fact that
much of the commercial bread is deficient in the bone
producing elements which healthy teeth require. Not
only this but its chemical composition such that
sticks to the teeth and produces Tactic acid, which
quickly eats into the enamel.

Added support of this idea is found in the
fact that cancer Is more prevalent In the coun-

NOT DRUGS
Food Did 1t

After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood a case of chronic constipation yielded to the scientific food, Grape-Nuts, in a few days.
 From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laXatives continuously, go- ing from one drug to another and suffering more or less all the time
 "A prominent physician whom I consulted told me the muscles of the digestive organs were weakened and could not perform their work without help of some kind, so I have tried at different times every laxative and ca thartic known, but found no help that was at all permanent. I had finally become discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the pre-digested food, Grape Nuts.
 Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested easily from the first and in a few days was convinced that this was just Whatm y system needed. The bowels perform their func- tions regularly and I am now com pletely and permanently cured of this awful trouble.

Craig became suspicious, al though he promised that the money would be in readiness when the man appeared at his office It wasn't long before Moreno or Diaz arrived, and Dr. Craig, who was at the Hotel Adams at the time, went over to his office, pre- viously having notified the police ask ing that an officer be sent over. Po liceman Pruitt put in an appearance a minute or two after the doctor en- gagged the man in conversation. In- quiry on the part of Dr. Craig satisfied him that Campbell was in Los Angeles and had been for several days.
 Pruitt started to escort the man to the city jail and was just leaving the doctors office when Moreno made a break and dashed east on Monroe When Van Buren street was reached Moreno took to the road which was in such a muddy condition that his prog ress was seriously impeded.
 Believing his man was about to suc- eed in making a getaway, Pruitt fired alongside of him at the same time call
 ing to him that he would shoot to hit if he did not stop. The man however, continued on his way and rounded an other corner just as Pruitt took a sec ond shot. He disappeared into an all ley and there Fruit found him hiding behind a box. He attempted to put up a fight, but was soon subdued and taken to the police station. He admit ted that he had forged the alleged Campbell letter, but said 1t seemed easier to get money that way than to work for it.
 formal complaint will be lodged against him this morning by Dr. Craig, after which he will be transferred to the county jail. When searched at the police station the man had but $365 in his pockets. He would give no further account of himself, although he is be- lieved to have recently arrived here from California.

 At one time, while travelling through Montana, he became confused as to the correct route. While at d standstill in the road and unable to determine the proper course to pur- sue he noticed the imprints of Fire stone Non -Skids in the trail before him.
 Says MT. Funck, "F'irestone Non Skds have pulled me out of many a former difficulty, so l believe l will fellow this trail and see what hap pens"
 For nearly 300 miles he was able to follow the non-skid imprints, which proved true guide and eventually led him into familiar territory. Fire stones have never failed me yet affirms MT. Funck.

MEXICAN WORKS
 LOCAL DOCTOR
Through Telephone Calls and Forged Letter Se- cures About S75 andGives Officer Merry Chase After Placed Under Arrest

Through the medium of sundry tele- phone conversations with the office of pr. R. w. Craig, and the presentation of a letter alleged to have been written by Cole Campbell, a well known Co., conino sheep and cattle man, an es pecially intelligent Mexican giving his name first as Alexander Moreno and afterwards as Jose DiaZ, succeeded last week in securing about $75 from the physician besides medical treatment His attempt to secure further money resulted in his undoing and as as con- sequence he is now prisoner in the city jail where he was taken by Po- liceman Pruitt.
 Several days ago the Mexican ap- peared at the office of Dr. Craig and announced that he had been in the employ of Campbell, who owed him considerable money and who was then on the way to Phoenix. He asked that he be treated for some affliction. Later the clerk at Dr. CraigS office had conversation with a man over the tele- phone. who claimed to be Cole Camp bell The gist of this conversation was that Campbell was then at Congress Junction on his way to Phoenix. He asked that the Mexican be given treat ment he needed and that the doctor ad- vance him fifteen dollars. The money was forthcoming upon the MeXican's return to the office of the doctor. Two days later the Mexican appeared, this time armed with a letter in which "Campbell' requested that the doctor advance him fifty dollars. The sigma ture appeared "good' to Dr. Craig and again the money was forthcoming.
 Late Saturday evening the telephone again became busy and this time MT. Campbell had apparently gone around by the way of Fish Creek where by reason of the heavy rain he was again stalled. He suggested that the doctor advance the Mexican any sum up to
