CANCER CURES
ARE DISCUSSED
DR.. Scott Parsons Of St. Louis Talks
to Students About Chances for
Recovery.

Chicago. June 30.-"When is cancer
curable?' was the subject OF a paper
by DR.. Scott Parsons Of ST. Louis,
which was read before the Surgical
Society of the American Institute OF
Homeopathy in session here.
According to DR.. Parsons, the paper
was prompted by queries as to why
some cases Of cancer got we'll and
others die, when the general charac-
teristics, symptoms and type of growth
are apparently identical. In part he
said:
AS have thought the subject over
it appears to me that there are several
factors which make for success or
failure in the treatment of this mys-
ferrous disease.
Five essential factors appear to
play the all-important role in the
cured case of cancer They are: The
type of growth. resistance and suscep-
tibility Of the patient, age of the pa
tent, period in which, treatment is be-
gun, and method of treatment and
technique"
After speaking CT the pathology OF
the different varieties of cancer, DR.
Parsons stated that $50 far, the super
fetal or skin cancers offer the best
chances for cure and are amenable to
operation, cautery, X-ray and radium
As to that type of cancer attacking
the breast and womb, while giving a
much higher mortality, early, radical

THE age of the patient plays al
important role. Cancers of all type!
are to be considered an extremely ser.

first and second tricennial OF life, OF
from 20 to so years Of age. Those over

Only Matter Arranged for Trial
This Morning.

II will be recalled that last winter

tered an order condemning property
owned by people at Seventh street and
Sixteenth avenue, Moline. The pro-
ceedings were brought TO secure ad-
ditional lands for Stevens park, the
larger part Of which was donated to
the city. a certain sum was fixed as
the compensation TO each of the own
ers.
few days later. through their at
torneys, they appeared in court asking
that the verdict be set aside and that
a new trial be granted. They claimed
that they had not been notified of the
case going~to trial and the judge &C
cordingIy vacated the verdict and
granted new hearing.
The trial was fixed this morning and
will begin Wednesday. a venire will
be drawn probably the first part Of
next week and the case will be heard
before a jury. James Johnston, city
attorney Of Moline, will repre- ent the
city and c. E, Dietz. Oakleaf & Oak
leaf and c. J. Schroeder will be coun-
sci for the property owners.

LARGE CROWD HEARD
HERSHEY'S LECTURE

Or. S. Byron Hershey, of Washing
ton, D. C., delivered his great lecture
on We-theWar-an Whither?" in
the auditorium of the Methodist
church last night to an audience that
filled both wings and required extra
chairs for seating.
He gave reasons that made the war
possible; placed the responsibility on
the entire civilized world; arraigned
"militarism' as the cause of it; de-
clared it is now time for the churches
to go to work to educate public
thought against the possibility of an
other war, in a great evangelical move
which would sweep away forever the
heresy that might is right"
The speaker expressed the hope
that the United States, working
through The Hague conference, would
take the lead in establishing peace
on so just basis that the present war
will be the last war the world will
ever witness.
Or. Hershey said many splendid
things in the course of his lecture,
some of which presented substance for
new thought for his hearers. He
showed up miltarism as a huge mon

in the enormous taxes it takes to sup

raigned our own country in that the
government carried war budget 49,
100000 times larger than for educa-
ton. And then he questioned, who
was responsible for this state of af-
fairs? The inevitable answer was, the
tax payers-those who consented to
it.
DR.. S. p. Leland, of Daytona, acted
as chairman of the evening. He was
introduced by DR.. Robt. S. Holmes,
president of the tourist class, under
whose auspices the lecture was given.
Dr. Leland and DR.. Hershey are
friends "of ye olden days." having
worked on the same lecture course for
many years in the great state of Ohio,
and it was fitting that the speaker of
the evening should be introduced by
Dr. Leland. The introduction was

SWISS CONSUL is SARCASTIC
Touch of Humor in ostensible Con-
firmaton Of Startling Statement
Sent Out From Rome.

Turin.-It is refreshing to meet with
bit of official humor nowadays,
such as was furnished recently by the
Swiss consul at Turin, Herr George
Lang. The Gazzetta del Popolo hav-
ing printed a correspondence from
Rome giving positive assurance OF the
existence of a secret treaty between
Switzerland and Austria, according to
which Swiss troops were to occupy
Piedmont and Lombardy, Consul
Lang published next day in the STAN
pa a conspicuous advertisement os-
tensibly confirming the truth OF the
statement and adding: Il am in
position to inform the public that at
the wellknown restaurant Cova, at
Milan. the menu for the dinner OF the
Swiss general staff has already been
ordered, while lieutenants and subal-
tern officers will dine at Bifi's "a res
taurant of the second class. Private
soldiers are to camp on the Piazza del
Duomo, where for the noon meal they
will be served with all the canards
which the correspondent Of the Gaz-
zetta del Popolo has sent into the air
at Rome"
