AGAINST CANCER
Every Abnormal Growth on the
Skin is Suspicious, He

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July H.-ln
sounding a warning against cancer,
Director ziegler, of the department OF
health and charities, points out that
in this city alone last year 1,5S2 per-
sons, more than four day, died from
cancer and that in the United States
more than 205 died every day from
the disease.
Doctor Ziegler said that at first can
Ger appears to be only local as
ease. Cancer Of the skim" said Doc
tor Ziegler, .manifests itself in the
form of a growth that can be seen or
felt, such as wart, mole, lump, scaD
or an ulcer that is slow to heal
Internal Cancer.
Cancer inside the body is often
diagnosed by symptoms long before
lump can be felt or seen. Persistent
attacks of indigestion attended with
loss of weight and change Of color OF
the skin are particularly suspicious
"a constant and unusual discharge
from any part of the body, particularly
II it be bloody, deserves attention
Treatment should not be delayed I'M
til pain becomes prominent symp-
tom. Cancer is rarely painful IN the
early and remedial stage.
He pointed out that cancer can be
cured If proper surgical treatment is
obtained when the disease is in It's
early stages. He said:
eff there is visible growth on the
body that is continually increasing In
size, seek an early examination by
your physician. All innocent looking
rumors should be considered potential
" malignant. Their complete re-
moyal in the dormant or non-active
stage Will avoid the possibility OF the
of cancer"
Intellectual Remedies.
Cancer is seldom cured by medi-
cines, plasters and salyes, which only
tend to temporarily relieve the dis.
comfort of the disease while the
growth continues to extend and to in
wade other parts of the body.
He explained that over 40 the dis
ease causes one death in eight among
women, and one death in fourteen
among men.
In Conclusion, Doctor ziegler said:
Cancer is at present fatal In more
than ninety per cent of all cases, be-
cause of the prevailing ignorance and
neglect among the laity concerning
this disease. 1t attacks all races and
creeds, both rich and poor alike. It
causes death at an age when the re-
sponsibilities of business and family
are greatest

SPOKANE, Wash, July 1.-Be-
cause the coyote is of a Suspicious ma

BERRY PATCH
In Kentucky Covers Forty Acres
and 100 Pickers Gather

LAGRANGE, KY, July Il. Black
berry growers are beginning to har-
vest the crop. the first shipment to
Louisville having just been made. The
largest patch in the South is in this
county. being forty acres.
The owners began several years
ago with four acres and have grad
ually Increased it to forty. One hun
dred pickers are required daily dur
ing the busy season. The berries
grown in this section are regarded as
superior to those grown in the West,
which are big and soft, while these
here are firm and well colored.
The variety is the Eldorado. Rep
.resentatives OF the experiment station
at Lexington visited the patch when
in bloom. Experts from the Washing
ton agricultural department have also
made several trips to see the work
of the farm. A few years ago the
preserving companies realized that
wild berries were becoming so scarce
they urged the farmer to cultivate
blackberrics as they would other
drops. =.

It doesn't seem reasonable, but in

lection they will become pests just
like the. cotton tails that eat up the

and have been cut to a great extent
During the time lumbermen were
busy In the state and West virgfnia's
game laws offered very little protec-
ton to the deer that roamed wild in
the forests the animals were slaugh-
tered in great numbers. For while
the whole deer family was In danger
of being exterminated. Sportsmen
and others began to realize the SER
iousness OF the situation and urged
that strict laws for the protection of
deer be passed. Now there are only
a few weeks in the year that you can
hunt and kill deer. II you chase
them with dogs, you can be prosecut-
ed and sent to the penitentiary.
Deer breed fast. A mother deer
will have two or three fawns year.
The timber1ands that have been cut
out have grown up with thick UNDER
brush and it is hard to find the ami
mails without dogs. A whole deer fam
lily may go through the season, with
out ever being molested by the hunt
ers. And so the deer family in Ran
doIph, Webster, Hardy, Grant, Nicho-
las and many other counties is grow
ing and growing fast.
Ten years is long time. West
virginians need have no fears at pres
ent from being pestered with deer,
for the laws protecting them are not
likely to be changed soon. However,
they are getting plentiful, and the next
open season will see many hunters
from this and outside states hunting
for deer" And maybe "dears."

ten or twelve years and 1t was nearly
worn out with hard usage. She took

in a perfect state of preservation,
having been protected from the hard
usage by the leather OF which the
pocketbook was composed.
