Gold Shipnnents.

Another Indication Of increasing trade with the Orient is seen in the shipment of some $4,50o, 900 in gold coin to that part Of the world 454 Of this amount $1.5OO, 900 went to Hong kong and Shanghai for the purpose of being melted down and turned into gold leaf for use in certain of the Oriental arts. Heretofore China has secured her gold from Japan, but that country has recently curtailed the ex- port of the metal, and China herself is pretty well denuded of spare gold owing to the shipments she made to this country last year. The remain ing $3,00o, 900 went to Java for Dutch and English account. The consign- ment was in connection with regular banking transactions growing out of exports. E

Cancer Does Not Return

The general impression that can
and that surgery is a futile means of
cure is often expressed by the not too
we'll informed or the unfortunate
Whats the use? 1t always re-
turns" In fact, it had long been
believed, even by good surgeons, that
a recurrence was, as the name i'm
plies, return of the cancer after it
had been completely removed. The
present and more hopeful belief, and
undoubtedly it is the correct one, is
that the original malignant growth
was not entirely removed In other
words, the recurrence is a definite
and direct continuation of the origin
al growth, of which at least a micro
scopic part was not removed. When
the original growth is removed com
pletely there is positively no danger
of recurrence. In modern opera
tions for cancer in order that the re-
moyal may be complete or that no It's
sue containing the dangerous micro
scopic cancer cells may remain, the
organs or parts in which the growth
is located are removed as widely as
anatomical relations will allow. In
the early stages cancer is a strictly
local disease and the surrounding It's
sue only becomes involved as the dis
ease progresses. If the growth is
discovered and removed very soon
after its inception the operation car
hardly be classed even as danger
GUS If, through ignorance or fear
one procrastinates and does not per-
nit operation until the growth has
spread through the adjacent glands
and tissue the uncertainty of getting
out all the malignant cells is greatly
increased. SO it is very easy to see
that in the early removal of cancer
lies the hope of cure-and the earlier
the removal. the stronger the hope

Both the University of Vermont anc
Norwich university are. listed by tn
United States war department as "dis
tnguished" as to military training
There being only 10 such institutions in
the country, the honor may be taken by
Vermont people as a matter for pride
The University Of Vermont devotes only
a comparatively small percentage of its
time to military training, but it is worth
noting that the institution must be do
ing that comparatively small amount OF
work well, else it would not have re-
ceived the above mentioned distinction.
Norwich university, as is well known, de-
votes a great deal of time to military
science and allied departments; so the
CHASING of that institution in the dis
tingushed" rank is not unexpected, al
though it is none the less pleasing to
Vermont people.
