eq7nOTI SHALT NOT DRINK"
 SAYS GOVERNOR OF KANSAS

A Topeka dispatch to the New York Telegraph says that Governor Capper of Kansas, has laid down the rule that no person employed by. the State shall take a drink of spirituous or
 malt liquor as a beverage. The penal ty for doing so, he informs the Civil Service Commission, will be dismissal. Somebody is almost certain to go to the mat with Capper on this issue, and of course. whoever does, will win.
 The order is fragrant invasion of personal rights and is in utter disre- gard of the spirit of the very Civil Sevice law under which the Commis- sion acts. If the Governor had or dered that persons drinking to excess be dismissed he would have been clearly within his rights and perhaps within the scope of his duty But he has undertaken to enforce a ukase not one whit different from that by which the Car of Russia abolished the manufacture. and sale of vodka.

 4. Any bleeding, however, trivial, occurring after the change of life ire -quently means cancer. and cancer which is then curab1e. If neglected till pain occurs, 1t means cancer which is almost always incurable.
 r 5. Any irregular bleeding occur ring at the change of life should in variably be submitted to a. physicians s investi gation. It is not the natural method of the onset of the change of life and in large number of cases means commencing cancer.
 6. Any wart or sore occurring spontaneously on the lower lip #in a, man over 45 years of age, is almost certainly cancer. If removed at once the cure is certain; if neglected the result is inevitably fatal
 T. Any sore or swelling occurring on the tongue or inside of the mouth in a man after 45 years of age should be submitted to investigation without a moments delay, and the decision at once arrived at by an expert micro scopical examination, whether it is

 B. Any bleeding occurring from the bowel after 45 years of age, com monIy supposed by the public to be piles should be submitted to inves- ti gation at once A proportion of such cases is cancer, which at this stage is perfectly curable.
 g. When warts. mo1es or other growths on the skin are exposed to constant irritation they should be inn mediateIy removed. A large number of them, if neglected, terminates in cancer.

TIMELY TREATMENT WOULD CUT DEATH
 RATE OF. CANCER
Many PreventabIe Irritations Are Direct Cause of
 Deadly Growth.

Timely themes are taken up in the June bulletin of the state board of health, which devotes much attention to the subject of cancer, which is hay ing aA high death rate in New Eng land. The deaths from this cause re- ported in Connecticut, according to the June report, were ninety-six. On this subject the bulletin reads:
 Interest in the subject of cancer has been accelerated in New England by recent figures of the census bu- reau, which show a. higher death rate from cancer in New England than in any other group of states. While these figures are to be interpreted in the light of the fact that there are more people propertionateIy of ad- Yanced age in New England than in any other region, it is nevertheless true that in 1913, all the New Eng land states had individually a higher cancer death rate than the rate for the entire registration area of the United States. Connecticut rate. the lowest in New England, was S51 per 100000 of population; Vermont's the high est, was 111.7 Cancer can be completely cured by a surgical oper- ation< in many cases if taken in time but is rarely curable by other. means or later on in it's course. If neglected and not removed in it's early stages 1t is practically a1ways fatal. To bring about generally the early recognition and cornpetent treatment of the dis ease, the assistance both of the pub lie on the medical professi on Is neces- sary. Dr. Childe, an eminent English. surgeon, believes that if the following information were promptly acted up on the result would be a. saving of great numbers of lives which are at present unnecessarily sacrificed :=

When placed in power he abuses his authority and sscreates condition far worse than the abuse at which he aims. Prohibitionists do nos ask the law to go as far as CappeI has gone by executive order.
