~ expect now and then to witness the
de novo production Of cancer. The
same end may be attained with yet
more certainty should you have it in
your power to select cases for the ex.
pertinent in which there already exists
some local evidence Of chronic irrita
ton. For instance. you may tell a pa.
tient who has a little wart or an ir.
r1table crack in his lip that he may go
on smoking and amuse himself by
picking of the crust whenever he has
Il little spare time and come to you
again in six months. This is a very
certain method. In another instance
you may assure a man with a little
pimple near the angle of the eye that
it is of no consequence. not worth an
operation. and advise him to apply cold
cream. In q year or two's time he will
probably be able to show you a very
interesting example OF rodent ulcer "a
form Of so called skin cancer).
1t is obvious that the Englishmas
who suggests these methods Ices not
offer them in the hope that they will be
followed. but quite the contrary. He
might have added that although sit Is
not easy to produce cancer artifcial1y."
it is still less easy to cure it, artiicially
Or otherwise. Indeed. the fight against
cancer has been one of the least sue.
ressful in the whole category Of med
ical battles. 1t is also one Of the oldest.

Rewards of Some European States For
Valor In Battle.

Rewards of Some European States For
Valor In Battle.
All the great powers of Europe have
some reward for conspicuous valor
and bravery On the field of battle, and,
although the plain bronze Victoria
cross is the youngest of such decora-
tons, dating back only to the Crimean
war in 1856, it is the most valued pos
session in many a home in England to-
day. The Austrian cross, on the other
hand, is the Oldest.
A similar reward in Germany Is the
iron cross, Instituted by King Frederick
William III. of Prussia in the year
1913.
Russia gives as a decoration to It's
heroic soldiers the cross Of st. George,
which was founded by the famous EN-
press Catherine ii. in the year 1869,
and. while the Victoria cross is OF
bronze and the iron cross. as its name
Implies. of iron (which is edged with
silver. the Russian order is of gold
with a beautiful medallion OF st,
Geort:e killing the dragon.
In Austria the cross is Of gold and
was instituted in the year 1857 by the
empress Maria Theresa soon after her
accession to the throne. 1t bears the
same Inscription as the British Vic
toria cross. the British having in Eng
fish For Valonr'' and the Austrian In
Latin the word ..Fortitudine."
The Order Of the Legion Of Honor,
which is the reward in France, was In
stituted by the great Napoleon. and he
decreed that every soldier who was
decorated with that honor should have
the additional distinction of being en-
titled to receive a military salute from
officers. noncommissioned officers and
'%rivate soldiers. London Tit Bits.

DEATH FOR SWEARING.
Profanity In the Early Centuries Was
a Capital Offense.

Profanity In the Early Centuries Was
a Capital offenss.
Relieving sne's mind in a profane
way used to be a costly proposition.
In the ninth century Justinian pun
ished swearing by death. By the stat
utes of Donald vi. and Kenneth III.
the north Briton had the offending
.tmember cut out when the tongue ran
riot, Philip II. of France ordered those
guilty drowned in the Seine. and the
council Of Constantinople excommuni-
Gated n one that swore heather
oaths.
In 1851 a man could swear in Scot
land for IL pennies per cuss The
higher you were in rank the more you
had to pay for the privilege Of oaths.
Perhaps it was figured that the COIN
mon people should be given wholesale
rates.
BY an act of the sixth and seventh
years of the reign of William and
Mary servants, day laborers. common
soldiers and common sailors were fined
4 shilling a swear; others were taxed 2
shillings. The swearing schedule in
| the household Of Henry 1. was 40 shil-
lings fine for a swear word by a duke.
| 90 for a lord, 10 for a squire. IS. ID for
a yeoman and "a page to be whipt"
The law that provided fines for
swearing led Jonathan Swift to his
prospectus Of the bank of swearing"
during the speculative craze at the
time OF the south sea bubble. This
bank was to have a monopoly of col
lecting the fines Of those who swore.
and Swift said: ut is said there are
2, 100000 in the kingdom Qreland}. OF
which 100000 are swearing souls.
There are an estimated 5000 gentle
men, and every gentleman can afford
to swear one oath a day. which will
produce 1.s25.OOO oaths a year. OF f91.-
$50"
In 1892 at Aberdeen the council
naively told the head of the house to
have a box placed for the collection OF
the fines imposed upon the household
for swearing.-Chicago Tribune.
