THE INFORMATION TO KNOW.

valuable information concerning
the signs, symptoms and cure Of can
GERS is contained in an article pub
lished in the current number Of The
journal of the American Medical as
sociation. According to this article
the keystone of the so-called cancer
problem is early diagnosis, while the
great danger to those affected by this
malady is their failure to recognize
a cancer during its early stages and
seek remedy in time. 1t is suggest
ed that if this disease, at its start,
were accompanied by severe pains, or
by some other unmistakable and dis
comforting feature, the large majori-
ty of victims could undoubtedly be
cured by modern methods of treat
ment.
AS it is, it is stated that fully fifty
per cent of all forms of cancer reach
the surgeon or specialist too late, or
at least too late for most effective
treatment. The early stage of cancer
is unaccompanied by pain, hence the
patient does not seek the doctor ear
ly. All ulcers or tumors of the skin
are not necessarily cancerous, and the
treatment varies according to condi-
tions. When there is on the lip, es-
pecially the lower one, any persistent
local thickening, sore, fssure or crack
Of several months duration, then it
is suspicious of the early stage of
cancer. 1t is dangerous to irritate
such place by sucking or picking or
putting any kind of caustic paste on
it, because usually such treatment
causes the disease to grow much fast
er and to form "roots," as the pub
lie calls them. Another kind of skin
cancer begins as a small mole-like
pimple which gradually increases in
size. 1t is more dangerous when it
is colored (brownish or blackish) !;
later it bleeds easily, especially when
scratched or pinched. 1t appears to
heal, but after while breaks down
again and grows gradually. Soon it
begins to have "roots," which means
that the nearest glands have become
diseased, This can be cured, when
recognized, in its early stage, before
it has "roots."
Another kind of skin cancer begins
even more innocently, as in the very
early stage it is like a persistent scaly
spot, or as if the skin had been rub
bed off, or as a chronic crack, or like
a wart or mole. The patient thinks
nothing of this because it looks so
innocent, does not hurt at all and
now and again it seems to heal and
then breaks out. But in fact, if left
alone, such cancer can destroy both
the nose and eyes or attack the ears.
Ordinary moles, whether colored or
white, and especially the former, are
decidedly dangerous when they begin
to increase in size or get irritated.
Generally speaking when moles are
situated in areas which are subject
to friction, they ought TO be remov-
ed. So the advice to the public is
to seek the doctor or specialist in the
early stage of the disease, because the
expense of treatment is then very
much less and there is a much great
er chance of being cured.

Editor The Observer: l have read
with more than ordinary interest the
announcement that there is a proba-
bility that the Commercial club will
cause to be erected an exhibit build
ing for the display of Polk county
products, and | want to give the pro-
ject my hearty endorsement, believ-
ing that the club has finally struck
the right chord. | am a booster for
community development, and am not
only lending my effort in that direc-
ton but am likewise contributing my
good money, and am desirous of see
ing something more substantial done
in the future than in the past. / am
convinced that an organized effort ON
the part of the community to induce
new settlement in this neek-o'-the-
woods would result profitably to all,
and | know of no better method than
by exhibiting those things which we
have in this county to the view of Wis
ltOrs to Dallas. Our exhibits at the
state fair and the Land Products
show are meritorious, especially with
reference TO the latter, but as has
been well said by The Observer,
thousands of strangers annually come
TO Dallas, and an exhibit conveniently
located near the depot, where every
visitor could gaze upon it and carry
away the word, would, in my opinion,
prove of even greater value. The
products Of Polk county are varied
rs are those of no other county in
he state, and hence the proposed ex-

The favorable harvest weather of
this season should make glad the
heart of the farmer. And now indi-
cations point to equally favorable
conditions for hop and prune gather
ing, the former of which is well under
way, while prune picking will com
mence with next week. While neith-
Ell hops or prunes are up to the stand
ard yield, the quality of both are good
and prices promise to be remunera-
tive to the grower.

Warehouses Are Inadeouate.

Until the roadmaster refused to ex-
tend the privilege, j. N. Sears of the
Mccoy -four mill and Hubert Elliott
of the PerIydale mill had piled grain
on county roads near their plants for
want of storage space. In one case
the owner has decided to "raise the
roof and in the other additional
floor space will be provided to ae-
commodate the heavy grain crop. A
greater amount of grain has been
brought to these mills this year than
ever before.

hibit would be one Of attractiveness
if the field was well covered with
those things which the fertile soils
of this section so prolifically grow
to perfection. There are hundreds of
acres of good lands within a mile of
the court house that should be under
cultivation in small tracts, thus Civ
ing additional population and addi-
tional prosperity to this city, that are
still in the raw state. Dallas must
necessarily be supported by the agri-
cultural resources that surround it,
and consequently the greater the de-
velopment of the land the greater will
be the prosperity Of the city. Manu-
featuring industries, other than those
already located here, will be hard to
secure because of our limited railway
facilities and the absence Of raw ma
terials for the manufacture of mer-
chantable article, and while we ap-
preciate the fact that laborers, skill
ed and otherwise, are very desirable
| cannot see any hope for the future
from this direction. 1t is, therefore,
as | have said, obligatory upon the
booster element of the community to
turn its attention to rural develop
ment; to the cultivation of idle lands
and the subdivision of the big tracts
which are now occupied by few when
they should have many. This, in my
humble opinion, spells advancement
and greater Dallas. The display of
our products would have tendency
to induce settlement through an
agency that would present an indis-
putable argument in favor of our
claim that Polk is the blue ribbon
county of the state, and while its
original cost might tax our means at
this time, | believe that an effort
should. be made to carry out the sug-
gestion as made at a recent meeting
of the Commercial club.
There is gathered annually a dis
play, consisting Of grains, grasses,
fruits, vegetables, etc, for our coun-
ty and state fairs, and the installation
of these in a suitable building after
having been shown elsewhere would

to this opinion generally concede that
the prospects for the future are fine
and constantly frightening. And if
Edison is right the ''real and genu
inc" prosperity will be along next
year and will last for seven years,
while of course we will hope it may
be continued for a much longer per-
iod.

Change and recreation are good

the happiest people in the world are
often those who make their work

springs of joy and refreshment which

Look Yourself In the Pace.

The reaper of death sweeping
over Europe brings to our mind {
thought worthy Of more thar
casual consideration. :
Let us look ourselves In the face
and think-think for the benefit o
humanity. Tor the veal Of pros
perity. - .
In all parts Of the country
schools will SOON be opening for the
fall and winter terms, and much
Of the future will depend upon the
training Of the youth Of todaysaL
Never in our history was there a
time when it was more imperative
that hasty passions and vindictive
temperaments be curbed and Grad
icated. Never was there a time
when the incubation Of brotherly
love and q consideration for others
was more urgently required. IT
The youth of today will be the
men Of tomorrow, and as we train
them now SO will they be then.
The burden rests heavily upon us.
We expect the teacher in the
school to transform our child into
a man of learning and honor and
integrity, but we do not stop to
consider that more depends upon
the parent than uPon the educator.
The one cannot succeed without
the cooperation of the other, but
the two working earnestly and
jointly will accomplish wonderful
results. @
We should think before speaking.
Harsh words and family jars in the
presence Of child gives it its first
lesson in unruliness and puts a
sharp edge to an awakening temper.
It is natural for the infant to copy
the example Of the parent. As we
expect much from the teacher, let
US give equally of our own store of
patience and consideration.
Infancy demands kindness, gen.
tleness and sympathy-not the
auslere aloofness of age, or the
GOODNESS of indifference. A child
is susceptible to training, but when
it reaches mans estate opportunity
has passed it by.

SOCIAL SERVICE NEEDS

OF the ten needs of the District,
as set forth in the annual report Of
the Associated Charities and the Cit
izens' Relief Association, just pub
lished, four stand out which will
focus attention of social service
workers the coming year. These are:
The establishment of the proposed
reformatory. .
The building of a new municipal
lodging house.
A colony for the feeble-minded.
Sufficient school nurses to provide
one for each school district.
For the proposed reformatory, a
small appropriation already is avail
able for a preliminary survey, be-
ing made by Commissioner New
man and John Joy Edison, to deter
mine the nature of the institution to
be established here. Tentative plans
already provide an institution as
unique in it's field as the District
workhouse already is among similar
institutions in this country. But
Iwhile penal experts from all parts OF
the country are visiting the District
frequently to Inspect the moderr
plant at Occoquan for short-tern
prisoners, penitentiary prisoners
here still must be sent, at a heavy
cost to the District, to various in
stitutions where conditions ant
methods vary widely.
Never before has the urgent neet
Of an adequate municipal lodging
house been better demonstrated thai
during the present winter, when thu
rickety and pitifully insdequst'
