CANCER IN THE TAMIL Y

From the Journal of the American Med
 ical Association
 h ERIIAPS nothing causes more
 needless worry than the fact that = one one or more persons in given family have died from cancer. This is commonly taken as proof that the disease is hereditary. This does not all follow. There is probably no greater chance of fnheriting cancer than there is of being killed by lightning or of break ing ones neck falling down stairs. Per haps there are people who worry even about those contingencies but the statis- ticians have shown that such fatal acci- dents are extremely rare
 People who are concerned because their relatives have succumber to cancer fail to consider how widespread the disease Is. A malady that causes one death out of every eight among women and one out of every 14 among men over 40 is fairly common. On this basis it does not take much arithmetic to figure out how likely it is that cancer will occur many times in some families. The en- inent statisticians, King and Newsholme. have pointed out that it does not prove heredity to show that in one family, five death occurred from cancer By the very frequency of the disease, and the laws of chance such cases would be expected even if no one had ever suggested the idea of heredity.
 It can be mathematically demonstrated

LUKE MLUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 Once in awhile you will meet a man who is so careful of his conscience that he uses it only on Sundays.
 A single man planes his ancestors for his lowy lot in life. But married man usually planes his wife.
 Every month is the right month in which to plant seeds of kindness.
 It will help business some if women would do less shopping and more buying
 Of course, silver and gold are mere dross when compared with the wealth of love. But just the same there are a whole lot of married women whose idea of bliss would be to be a wealthy old maid who was independent and didn't have to ask any man for cent.
 Some men are known by their deeds and others are known by their mortgages
 Education is a great thing. But, Just the same, the girl with the low neck always attracts more attention than the girl with the high forehead.
 Every married woman feels that she ms every cent of her husbands salary.
 Any old time man says that all he expects of you is that you will listen to reason, he means that he is going to get sore if you do not agree with him.
 The married men hold differing opin- ions on the question of womans rights But they<all agree that woman should get up first in the morning. D The women folks may not know much about business. But after seeing how they dress in summer you will have to admit that they know the value of ad- vertising.

GOSSIP IN LONDON

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
 "A Mother of Two in Khaki writes to the London Times:
 For once the "mere' man ''husband'' has been successful in voicing the general opinion of 'women--he is ''on the side of the Angels" to a degree he may not fully realize. It is not true that ''the addition of a kilt to a walking dress will do the trick. as Mrs. Aria suggests the changes aimed at are fundamental and the whole scheme of new fashions for womens s dress is opposed to the desire for quiet economy which all right thinking women ev.nce at this terrible crisis of their conntry's history.
 It is not time for flimsy furbelows; if we must have new clothes let us en- courage our homN industries and wear honest serge and tweed.

that if a sufficient number of people sfart to JOSS coins 1t is certainty that at least ane of them will toss 1000 consecu- tive heads" So with cancer; given a sufficient number of families it is certain that many members of some few fam lilies will die of this disease. Therefore It IS not necessary to assume that the disease is inherited to account for it's Frequency Sometimes this fallacy crops out when certain notable cases. such as that of the Bonaparte family, are cited. It should be remembered that the rarity Of such cases of apparent heredity tends to prove the very opposite. Such cases are so noticeable that they are remem- bered. If the cancer tendency should disappear in such a family no further attention would be paid to the supposed danger
 II such family histories resulted from actually inheriting the disease. rather than from chance, they would be far more commonly reported It is possible that certain forms of malignant disease may, under rare conditions, be trans mitted to the child. Cancer is a very large word, covering a number of widely different diseases It may be, also, that under highly artificial conditions of in breeding mice certain susceptibilitv to tumors may be inherited. Neverthe- less as applied to human beings and in the practical view, the foremost author- tiles believe that heredty in cancer may be regarded as negligible factor

The Abiding Presence


 "Lo, I am with you alway.' Matt. 2S, 20.
 These are the words of Christ It requires no great stretch of faith to believe that Christ still lives. The i'm mortality of any soul would carry the immortality of Christ. In fact, there is so much in Him which seems the very essence of immortality that we ordinarily argue the other way about As to the form of His present exist ence nobody knows anything whatso' ever.
 But if He lives, and is clothed with the consciousness and power which must be part of His living, He is sure 1v round about those who love Him and do His will.
 He promises to be with His people, and yet in another place says that He is going away in order that the Com forter may come and be with them. He is to be with us in spiritual pres ence. The Father is God the Creator, Christ is His manifestation in human form: the Spirit is His abiding pres ence everywhere.
 Christ and God are with us spirit ually. They are known to us through the emotions in the feeling of glad, ness when we walk with Them; and through the conscience distinguishing right and wrong.
 Getting pale and thin and moonish imagining ourselves in world apart getting too sweet and far-away and spiritual to have contact with work aday men and things, floating around in the air-these have nothing to dc with the abiding presence of Christ Soldiers and statesmen, plowmen poets and priests, washerwomen and missionaries-men and women of a thousand kinds and of thousand jobs may enjoy the presence of Christ in overflowing measure. It is merely an old-fashioned, simple, countryside matter of doing your duty. If we obey Christ, He walks with us. How can we obey Him? Ask Him What is the first law? Love God What is the second? Love you neighbor.

Art of Making Coffec

The art of making coffee is one not fully understood" said a lover of the brew which braces but does not intoxi- cate.
 T was much interested in a communi- cation in the New York Sun from the head of the Coffee Roasters' association in regard to the very best way to make coffee. Here it is:
 Coffee properly parched should be pulverized, not merely crushed; the water used should be fresh and especially heated for the brew to the bubbling point of boil ing; then it should be poured over the pulverized coffee. placed in a muslin 'cloth-not cheesecloth, mind you. This cloth should be washed clean after using and kept in a dish of cool water until used again allowing the cloth to dry causes deterioration in the coffee brewed. The argumentive feature is that old-fash- toned boiled coffee has heavy per centage of caffeine, and the "percolated brewing, even more;' the quick brew recommended has nominally little calf feine.'"

ALABAMA PRESS

Fort Payne Journal Maybe the reason why certain newspapers are trying to dis credit the work of the investigating com mittees is that they are trying by these means to distract public attention from the disgraceful conditions which the in- vestigation shows were the rule in the former administration.
 Marion County News: Much develop ment is going to come to Alabama through the construction of dams to control her water power. In a few years Alabama will be a great manufacturing state. and the power used will be water.
 Fallkville News: He who can stoop down and lift up his fallen brother from the mire and place him on his feet and whisper sweet counsel in his ear and bid him go and lead a better life, Is truly a benefactor to the race.
 Leighton News: Constancy backed by intelligent effort is the price to be paM by the successful farmer, and he who does not have these two important factors in his makeup must face the fact that he is not a successful farmer.
 Brewton Standards: We dished up a masterpiece of an editorial on the Euro- pean war yesterday, but the office devil dissented from our views and dumped it into the waste basket. He accepted our apology and peace was restored without gore.

 AE REE JUSTICE! That my friends
 is utopian dream" exclaimed
 Kansas City lawyer, a speak CT at the Kansas City bar dinner. ''We might as well demand free advertising in our newspapers for every merchant, no matter whether he had money to pay for it or not"
 That indicates quite perfectly the law yers conception of justice and the state, and the peoples conception of justice and the state. The professional belief is that justice is a private commodity. The people believe it is public function.
 Government (and particularly popular government exists to see that justice is done between man and man and between man and the state. It has no other reason for being.
 This government was not established to run ar advertising business, a newspaper business, a grocery business or a flower shop. It was established to administer justice-instead of leaving justice matter of anarchy to be fought for or grabbed for. or played for or paid for.
 It is distinctly not Utopian dream that some day the people of a free govern ment are going to divorce their justice en- tirely from the chasable-commodity idea. They have already free police, free schools, free legislatures and free judges. It is not Utopian, it is practical common sense that they should arrange it so that

Roll Up a Big Majority

A large majority for Birmingham's bond issue will give a new impetus to public spirit here. It will show that the people stand together on ques- tions affecting the city's welfare.
 When the bond election for April 12 was ordered many citizens appeared indifferent and not few were avowed opponents of the bond propo- sition. Today the greater part of the opposition has disappeared. A ma jority of the people of Birmingham are not only ready now to vote for the bonds, but they see clearly that no other plan would be feasible.
 Birmingham's floating indebted ness of $1,250,0OO must be funded into long term bonds if the city would escape bankruptcy proceed ings. An individual who has failed in business is often benefited by going into bankruptcy. His business is reorganized and he starts over again. But with a municipality it is very different. A striding city like Birmingham can af- ford bond indebtedness greater than any that is now in contempla- ton. It cannot afford to become a bankrupt. Birmingham owes the money and it must pay it; and the fact must not be lost sight of that the money was spent for improvements which the people are now enjoying.
 The majority for the bond issue in tomorrow's election should be virtual ly unit. But in as large population as ours there will always be those citizens who vote contrariwise on every proposition, no matter how good it is.
 There may be a considerable minor ity vote, but the majority will, never theless, be decisive. It is important that full vote be brought out. The opponents, though numerically weak, are active. They will vote their full strength. The larger the vote, there fore, the larger the majority.

We're Not So Awfully Bad

An Ohio farmer, obviously possess ing more money than prudence, went to Chicago to see the carmine incan- descents and few other things. His first act on arriving in Chicago was to engage a taxicab.
 Whether he did or did not take a few drinks with the driver of the taxicab is not matter for us to chronicle herein That, we hold, is not of public concern.
 But, however that may be, the fact remains, so the story goes, that the , Ohio visitor and the taxicab driver became very friendly-so much so that somewhere along the crimson trail, the farmer confided to the driver that he had $500 in currency on his sightseeing person.
 "Too much money for you to carry around-let me kep it for you-meet me at the postoffice, noon tomorrow, and I'll turn it back to you," the driver is quoted as saying.
 Whereat, the farmer handed over { his wealth and went to bed, acting on the advice of his driver. *******a
 These stars represent hiatus of eight hours while the farmer slept Awaking, he hunted for the postoffice and found it.
 Now, you're guessing that the tax. icab man wasn't there to deliver the money. But, you're wrong. He was there-and he handed over every cent of the money. At least that's what the Chicago papers report.
 And this incident reminds us that every once in awhile some pessimistit person arises to megaphone nation wide warning that the world is daily growing more and more dishonest concluding with sigh for "the goot
