Mr.. Atkinson He was then turne'
over to Attorney Fryberger for tn
defense and practically admitted:
That the financial statement coul
be measured much differently fron
the way in which he testified IL shoul

4 rEw WORDS ON CANCER.

The thing that marks of cancer

civilization Is graphing is the fact
that Il Is neither hereditary nor con-
tagious A scientific man would state
the proposition more cautiously, but
for practical purposes, the blunt an
nuoncement "a true. Cancer Is a per
sonal disease, and personal hygiene,
caution, early diagnosis and proper
surgical attendance will well-nigh
abolish its terrors.
Cancer comes from long continued
irritation OF given set of tissues.
Burns. open sores, extensive scars,
rbonign" tumors and irritating dis
charges are among the most frequent
forerunners OF the disease
Avoid burns. including those caused
by scalding hot tea and coffee, the
chemical burns OF strong alcoholic
drinks and the near-burns OF excessive
smoking. Get rid OF Harmless" tn.

WHAT DID WE VOTE FOR?

The fuss that has been stirred up
at Lansing over the degree of dry
ness" that shall attach to the legisla-
ton which the present legislature
must pass in order to vitalize the pro-
hibition amendment leads one to In
quire into what the people q this
state really voted for last fall. Mr.
hudson and his faction in the Anti
saloon league tells as that his organ
ization let Il be known that the saloon
was the institution that was being
gunned after and not booze" For
that reason he advocates moist"
dry law; one that will allow residents
10 have what liquor the Anti-Saloon
league thinks Is necessary for them
10 live and be happy upon
The extremists among the "drys"
say that they didn't acceed TO a
moist" campaign; that they under
stood II to be bone dry" state that
was desired AZ bedfellow these
extremists have tho business vets" ,

REMOVE THE CAUSE.

The following editorial from the
Duluth Herald hits the bulls eye ana
should bo read and pondered over by
employers OF labor in this country
One OF the best possible defenses
against such things as the i. w. w. Is
TO remove all possible causes OF rea-
sonable discomfort Every source OF
discomfort among workers removed Is
that much done to defeat the I. w. w.
and their kind Of disturbers.
One complaint that comes from the
lumber woods seems reasonable. This
Is that some OF the lumber companies
impose needless difficulties In the way
of collecting pay.
A man is employed at one OF the
subordinate camps OF a lumber com
| pany. lie quits, as he has n perfect
/ right Co do, and asks for his pay. Ac-
cording TO the system complained of,
instead Of getting his money, or
check for II, he gets some sort OF an
order on the headquarters camp. Head
quarters camp may be ten, thirty or
nifty miles away II may take several
days to get there and finish his errand.
The pay due may be only few dollars
little to the company, much to him
Yet he must go to headquarters camp
where he gets time check payable at
the company's offices in Duluth or
elsewhere. This time check he can
cash though often he has 70 discount

FULLER RAPs TAX LAW.
Says THAT the Mortgage Tax Law Is
An Injustice.

That the present law taxing mort
cages and bonds at the rate or one
half OF l per cent Is not q good law
was the opinion voiced by Auditor
General o. Is. Fuller at the opening
session OF the Michigan State Tax as
sociation's convention of Battle Creek
February /.
IAN investment in mortgages and
bonds is no more sacred than any
other investment nor is II entitled 10
any more consideration. said Mr.. Full
Ter. AS a matter OF fact. any law
that fixes a specific tax on any class
OF property at ratio less than the
average rate works an injury TO the
owners of other property.
"All property should be assessed
alike and bear its burden cs taxation
a specific tax less than the average
rate OF taxation is practically an ex
emption from taxation and our stat
utes are burdcned with laws that re-
move property from the assessment
roll. Mortgages, bonds, automobile
and steam vessels are not assessed a
othor property is assessed.

When the Duluth. South Shore a At

that two cents per mile would not give
an adequate profit because OF tia
physical difficulties presented in haul

The suit was based on the grounds
that tho two-cent rate was conasca-

SHORTAGE OF NURSES

Philadelphia faces a shortage of nurses,
according to hospital officials. Hundreds
have left for Red Cross and other relief
work. it was said, and hospitals and other
institutions here need nurses badly.
jefferson Medical College now rs running
three nurses training classes with men,
tership of 112 and will take on as rlany
more as it can find accommodations for,
according to DR.. ii. X. Mohler medical
director.
"The increasing demand for nurses prom
ises to keep on increasing said Doctor
Mohler There Is a splendid opportunity
here and now for some generous-hearted
Philadelphians VINO own homes not too far
removed from the center of the city to come
forward and show their patriotism in this
emergency, by turning over their houses to
the jefferson Hospital to be used as nurses
homes.
THE Red Cross has cleaned up all the
surplus nurses available, and the scarcity
will get worse before it gets better, unless
something can be done right away. The
jefferson Hospital will make room in it's
training classes for all the nurses it can find
proper accommodations for. At present Il
car increase its capacity by only eighteen "
