HEALTH NOTES.


According to the New Hampshire
State Health Department great ad-
yancement has been made in the knowl-
edge Of cancer and in what may be
done greatly to reduce the mortality
resulting therefrOm. In the Quarterly
Bulletin, recently issued, DR.. Irving A.
Watson, secretary Of the State Board,
points out that both the physician and
the patient should realize that the early
discovery and removal of this disease
are Of supreme importance The only
two methods of treatment worthy Of
serious consideration are said to be
complete removal by the surgeon as
soon as the growth is discovered, or in
case Of superficial or so-eaIled skin can
GERS, the use of X-rsys or radium. But
it is emphatieaIly stated that these
newer methods offer no reliable hope Of
cure, except in the treatment of sur
face cancers. No paste or other prepa-
ration externally applied to deep seated
cancers, like cancer Of the breast, for
instance, is Of any use whatever; but,
on the other hand, may lessen the
chance Of life through delay in substi-
tuting this treatment in place of early
removal by the surgeon.

At three o'clock in the afternoon the
cashier of the bank ran out and halted
Bill Morrill, as he was passing through the
Square. "NIr Hammick wants to see
you, Bill" he announced.
Bill came into the magnate's office,
motormanly twirling the ontroler-handle
in big gloved hand.
"Whats this Tobe Shore is dong?"
asked the richest man in Enderby.
"Whats he doing?" repeated Bill, in
tone of mingled disgust and apprehen-
sion. He's taking all my business, that's
all. I've made six trips with only two
passengers, and they both rode on passes.
That's what he's doing

ployee in the wrong.

of long-suffering patience, "My big,

length, and then decided that the bust
nessike method of procedure was to
turn the job over to Mary's mother.
Mrs. Hammick was at least outwardly
scandalized to hear that the family was in
imminent danger of receiving motor
nan into it's bosom. She had heart-to-
cart talk with Mary. She was too fem
lninely wise to cast aspersions on the fam
lily tree of Tobe Shore. She we'll under
stood that a warm-hearted young woman
of eighteen years does not bother about
family trees, be they ever so scrubby
She did not try to sandpaper the charac-
er of young Mr. Tobe Shore, because in
ruth she knew that anything attempted
.oward that end merely serves to burnish
and illumine the fine qualities of a pros
pective husband No; she fell back on
5he good old argument of afflicted parent
mood. She wanted to know if Mary,
after eighteen years of constant receipt of
love and affection, was going to bring her
fathers and mothers CRAVING hairs to the
tomb-or something like that. Eff
GENTLY used, this appeal makes nine hits
out of ten shots.
Miss Mary Hammick wept. She pouted.
She did not see why Tobe Shore was not
the equal of any young man in the village.
She clutched at the region of her heart.
She dampened the pillow whereon her
cheek rested. But she succumbed to
duty. Clandestnely she saw Tobe Shore
once again, and returned to him the
engagement ring he would have given
her if he could have afforded it, and ad-
mitted that she would always, always,
always remember
7 Two matters of huge satisfaction did
Mary Hammick take out of this abyss of
woe. One was the poignant feeling of
ownership of an inner sorrow; and the
other was the JOY of knowing just what
to do when a trolley ear blows a fuse
For both of these she was indebted to
Tobe Shore.
The Enderby Street Railway continued
to run. 1t had to run. AS going busi-
ness there was always chance to unload
it upon some rash outsiders who did not
realize the terrible walking capacity of
Enderby people Besides, there was the
matter of pride. Elisha Hammick had
passion for his little white elephant He
used to board the car now and then and
make the round trip, and when any one
got aboard he smiled He smiled because
the car had passenger.
THERE was nothing vindictive about
Tobe Shore. Vindictiveness was some
thing that had not run in his family. But
the injustice of being so summarily dis
missed from his post ranked; and it
ranked to the extent of filling his soul
with the ambition to depart from the
Evening star., 1915-10-17

There We're no more local street cars to
motor so Tobe fell back on the only other
kind of locomotion that offered itself. He
borrowed little money and bought a
small automobile. Then he chartered an
unused barn and called it garage, with
the accent, naturally, on the first syllable
Business trickled in, and Tobe did we'll
He bought a larger car, and managed so
carefully that he was able actually to
keep new tires on hand-than which
there is no truer gage of success.
The Enderby Street Railway, too, be-
gan to pick up business. Whether the
people of Enderby were beginning to feel
the stiffness of years in their joints or
whether the presence of so many oppor-
tunities for riding demoralized them, they
began to desert pedestrianism. On one re-
markable trip from the railroad station
to the rail-end, the street-car's register
showed twenty-one fares. Mr.. Elisha
Hammick again began to dream dreams.
AND then, one day, Tobe went to the
city on business, and returned with
whimsical smile on his face. He went
straight to the newspaper Office and or
dered big placard to be printed.
"How do you spell it?" asked the
printer.
"J-i-t-n-e-y," replied Tobe, reading
from a memorandum-book.
"That's a new one on me, was the COM
ment. Never heard of that word before"
you'll hear it lot before many days."
was Tobe's reply.
The next morning, upon the arrival OF
the first up train, Tobe Shore was at the
railroad station. He ran his big touring
car alongside the waiting street-car, with
its front facing the station platform. A
big sign, done in the largest wood-type
of the Enderby Gazette print, proclaimed:
ITNEY!
Anywhere the street-car goes,
5 CENTS.
Five passengers alighted from the train
when it pulled in. Five passengers
looked two or three times at the waiting
street-car and then at the inviting up
holstery of the automobile.
Right in here!" shouted Tobe briskly.
"Same price as the street-car, and | let
you off at your door.
Five passengers climbed into the jit-
ney. and the street-car changed uptown
without fare.
The street-car was not fast, and the
automobile was. Tobe dropped his five
passengers and arrived in front of the
Town Hall just in time to take on a
stout, elderly woman who was in the act
of climbing aboard the trolley ear.
"This way, Mrs. Keep shouted Tobe,
jumping out and seizing the passengers
arm. "Much more comfortable, Mrs.
Keep. Same price, and l drop you right
at your back doorstep"
"Here, Tobe!" expostulated Bill Nor
rll from the front platform of the street.
car. "You leave my passengers alone!'
Bill had quickly scented the cloud that
overhung his job.
"Well, which do you want to ride in,
Mrs. Keep" asked Tobe in spirit of
great fairness, pausing with his hand on
the clutch. "Same price, remember"
"Oh, I'll go along with you," was the
reply "The steps of the car are so high,
anyway"
Farther up the line, Tobe arrived just
in time to filch another prospective pa

Good PROGRESS
ON NEW STRUCTURE
Third Street Bridge Will Be
Ready For Travel
By June |
NEW WORK MAKES
FINE APPEARANCE

Splendid progress is being made
with the work of the Third street
bridge and County Engineer James
Wilson feels confident that the new
bridge will be open for travel on
June i. The abuments and piers
present an excellent appearance as
the concrete was used TO such an ex-
tent that the white color predominates.
The contractor is now finishing the
work of driving the steel pilings at
the western pier. In the near future
the work of excavating will be COM
menced. The iron work of the new
bridge for the eastern half is now
ready to be placed in position on the
eastern pier and as soon as il is COM
pleted the bridge work for the west
ern side will be placed in position.
Word was received yesterday by
County Engineer Wilson from the
Lorain Company, of Johnstown, Pa,
that the steel rails to be used on the
new bridge have been shipped. The
Levy Court sometime ago decided that
it was best to own the rails on the
bridge and then permission can be
given TO more than one trolley line
to operate its car across the bridge
At all times the Levy Court will be
enabled TO regulate the speed, the
number of cars and the bridge license
to be paid for each car which will run
over the cOunty's bridge
As soon as the new bridge is open to
travel the contractors viii begin the
work of dismantling the old bridge. The
Levy Court so far has taken no action
as to the disposition of the old bridge
when it is taken down. As soon as it is
removed the old crib and the stones
will be dumped into the Christiana river
at that point.
County Engineer Wilson said today
that the contractors have been working
right good on the bridge, and that the
work shows up in fine form.
