vantages to thu utmost.

United States citizen army Is propos-
ed in the bill introduced by Chairman
Chamberlain Of senate military affairs
committee.

tween the ages Of IL and IA drill Of

tBy Perry Arnold, United Press STAFF
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE G..
o. P. will choose it's national ticket
at convention to be held beginning
June 7. Probably the city will be
Chicago.
The choice of convention date
prior to the assembling Of the demo-
cratic hosts-was ratified with viva
voce vote after the committee h:rl
turned down a motion to follow pre-
cedent and hold the convention after
that of the party in control of gov
ernment. 1t will mean readjustment
Of dates in primaries in several
states for choice Of delegates. notatly
Maine and South Dakota.
The vote on the early date WAS
taken to mean that Chicago would
be selected as the convention city.
The vote on this question will come
up about five o'clock, according t.
indications when the committee re-
cessed for luncheon. It was believed
among Chicago boomers that the vote
choosing the city would be about 81
to 13-the count which defeated a
motion for the convention to be held
June 27
Choosing Of the date was preceded
by considerable argument. Burke
OF South Dakota complained
that primaries in his state
would not be held until June IA. Com
mitteeman Hale of Maine, seconded
Burke's motion to make the date the
9th Roy O. West Of Illinois, voted
to make it June 7. Burke's motion
was lost, 81 to 1.-two not voting.

Wisdom Teeth.

The so called wisdom teeth are the two last molars to grow and they have no real connection with the posSessOn of wisdom. They take their name from the time of their arrival, from twenty to twenty-five years, at which age the average person is supposed to have reached years of discretion. Cutting ones wisdom teeth means simply ar irving at the point of completeness in physical equipment and has no direct relation to mental equipment. The pos, session of these teeth is no guarantee of wisdom. They grow at about the same age in people whether they are wise or not

Aid to Southern Prosperity
By FAIRFAX HARRISON, Presi> dent of the Southern Railway

THE agricultural and industrial
 progress of the south, which
 has been one of the most note worthy features Oi the economic history of the United States for some years past, has been only tenn pOrarily retarded by the European war. The world must have cotton. The demand, both for export and for American mills, Is increasing, and there has been d substantial advance in price since the low point when the depression was at its worst.
 Southern farmers are meeting the situation confronting them by plan hing to reduce the acreage of cot ton planted in 1915 and to devote the land thus released from cotton to other crops and to live stock.
 WITH A LARGER PRODUCTION OF GRAIN THEY WILL PROFIT FROM THE INEVITABLE EURo- PEAN DEMAND RESULTING FROM THE WITHDRAWAL OF MILLIONS OF MEN AND DRAFT ANIMALS FROM AGRIcULTURE IN THE COUNTRIES WHICH ARE AT WAR.

 That cancer is at first u local growth and not general disease of the sys- tem is now clearly established. This fact Is of the utmost importance, since in holds Olt a high hope or cure if the malignant growth is removed before 1t has time to spread to other parts of the body. Cancer beginning in one spot later appears elsewhere, because small particles or cells are carried away from the first site and start other grOwths, not because there exists pre- viOusly some poison in the blood which causes the disease to break out In different parts of the body. The great hope of cure, therefore, lies in remOv- ing cancer entirely from the system be fore It has a chance to spread from It's first foOthold.
 The reason why so many people came to believe that cancer was blood disease is doubtless because 1t was observed to come again in the sams or other parts of the body after
