"The Juvenile Court" says Mary T. Lathrop, head of the Chidren's Bu- reau in Washington, "has, perhaps done more than any other one agency to make people realize the importance of looking after mothers and child ren." There are now juvenile courts in 26 states and through all of them goes the same sad procession of child ren suffering from ignorance, pover- ty, neglect and bad companionship.
 Three juvenile court judges in Chi cago, Kansas City and Denver were so shocked by it that they secured the first widows pension laws in the United States. It is now the accept ed belief that no child ought to be sep arated from a good mother merely for poverty. It is cruel to mother and child and wasteful to the community
 Our laws on this subject are not very good. It is interesting to read those of New Zealand and Denmark and see how they provide for having the state add to what the little family has been able to save, and thus en- courage thrift.

DISEASE OF MANY
 FORMS

People commonly think of cancer as single definite disease, as distinct and uniform in it's nature and symp- toms as appendicitis or typhoid fe- yer. This is misconception. 1t is nearer the truth to regard Cancer" as the name of a group of quite differ ent diseases which have one feature in common. It has been said that the layman's conception of cancer is of something very indefinite, very DOT tentous, quite hopeless, a disease which always affects someone else than himself, and about which he car ries no immediate interest or respon- sibility If this is fair statement, the layman is wrong on practically every count, and his error and confu- sion is probably due, in no small part, to the failure to take account of the many forms of cancer. If this were done, perhaps the patient would not so frequently yield to despair and throw away the excellent chance of cure that exists when the disease is first discovered.
 As matter of fact cancer" in the light of modern knowledge of human ailments, is almost as general and vague a term as "fever." The word covers number of entirely distinct diseases, differing widely in their ori~ gin, symptoms, treatment and curabi- lity. The various kinds of tumors have little in common except that they are all forms of new and lawless growths of body cells.
 This false notion of cancer as a single disease has probably hiodered progress toward the understanding and control of the various diseases which are conveniently grouped un- der that term. All forms of cancer are aspects of new and lawless cell growth, and it is the inner nature or "cause" of such growth that we do not yet understand.
 The essential point for the man ir the street is that each different kind of cancer is a separate disease If he is so unlucky as to be attacked by any one of them, it would be well be- fore becoming discouraged to go and find out which form he has. If he is taken with a "fever" and it happens to be German measles, his outlook on life is quite different than if it chances to be virulent smallpox So, also. a rodent ulcer" on the face is quite different from cancer of the stomach. And lastly while one is a more serious disease than the other, there is always hope if it is recognized and treated at once. Why not give the surgeon the same chance with cancer as he has with appendicitis? Suppose all sym ptoms of that disease were neglected and hidden until the appendix had burst? Doubtless the surgeon would still save a certain percentage of cases, but would the record be anything like lit is now? It is the intelligent CO., operation of the patient and the fam fly physician that has conquered ap-
 pendicitis, and the same weapons are even more needed in the fight against cancer.

DOCUMENTARY ARITHMETIC.

An Estherville boy, Glen Catlin,
worked one square rod Of Iowa soil in a
contest inaugurated by the school.
He sold off that square rod 1885 in
produce, besides furnishing the home
with lettuce gratis. giving away some
lettuce to the neighbors and still has
forty-five pounds of cabbage to market.
To this may be added so cents that
he took as premium for the best red
tomatoes at the Emmett county fair.

which he proposes that the young

there were six sons. Two Went to the

IN THE NEXT CONVENTION.
TSiouS City Journal


Iowa republicans are to be spared
fight over the presidency next year.
Senator Cummins is candidate under
such a readjustment of national issues
as to allay much OF the old opposition
to him. Iowa is interested directly in
the political fortunes of no other
presidential candidate. Accordingly 1t
has been tacitly agreed virtually with
out dissenting voice. that the Iowa
delegation is to go to Senator Cum
Minis without a fight: 10 stay by him
so long as he may have chance of
securing the nomination Some Iowa
republicans believe the senior senator
has fair chance Of winning the capi-'
tai prize Others think they are con-
ceding him no more than a compliment
in instructing the Iowa delegation for
him All. however. agree that ne may
have the benefit of such advertisement
as he can get out of being accorded a
solid home delegation without con-
test. Recalling that Senator Cummins
was able to secure only minority of
the state delegation after a contest In
1912, it must be admitted that time
and events have been working Won
ders In the interest of harmony during
the last three years.
In the existing SITUATION the Celega>
ton at large and each OF the district
delegations should be made thorough
ly representative Of Iowa republican
| ism. Neither factionism nor Individual
| ism should govern the selections. AS
matter of course Senator Cummins
will have the right to count on the I'M
divided loyalty of every delegate so
! long as he remains a factor in the
presidential equation. On the other
/ hand If the course of events should
eventually eliminate the Iowa candi-
! date the Iowa delegation should be
4 left free to use It's strength for the
i best interests OF the party. The nature
of a possible convention crisis cannot
be seen in advance There Is no way
i in which a constituency can instruct
, its representatives what to do in all
! circumstances. What is now suggest
ed is that Iowa should send to the next
national convention a delegation OF

To sit In the roses and hear the

But oft. when alone in the bloom Of

Are the roses still bright by the

No, the roses soon withered that hung

And dew was distilled from their

Iowa turn to Washington for the sue
