Cancer Has No Roots.


So long as ignorance remains
the chief attribute of man credul-
ity will blindly lead him to his
unhappy fate. Nearly every victim
of cancer which happens to occur
in a visible situation is called up
on sooner or later to refuse the
opportunity to be tortured with
caustic paste the nature and orr
gin of which, as a rule, are SUI
ficiently explained. for the credu-
Ious or ignorant victim, by the hint
that father got the secret from an
Indian" No one appreciates this
Joke better than the white man
who has lived in contact with real
Indians long enough to know
something of the value OF their
medicine man antics.
The fool idea that popularizes
the cruel paste or plaster treat
ment-sometimes called balm" or
"oil''-is that cancer grows from
roots, and if you can destroy the
roots you have destroyed the can
Ger. If this were really true 1t
would be a very unfortunate thing
for mankind, since not even early
and radical surgery caE proceed
as ruthIessly as that, and even the
dangerous and futile cancer pas'e
would prove quickly fatal if it were
permitted to act long enough to de
stroy every Offshoot or root" of
the cancer in the tissues. The trOu-
bic with pastes is that they de-
stroy indiscriminately everything,
healthy tissue as well as diseased,
and despite soothing assurances no
human power can control or direct
the action Of cancer paste once
it has been applied.
The basis of cancer paste is US
uaIIy arsenic, so-called white ar
senic (arsenous acid. which is
the caustic. Other ingredients are
mere diluents and camouflage.

is about as essential as this part

A Suggestion.

". D. Petersen OF Davenport has suggested
that the steamboats, lying idle in the harbor at
Suburban island be brought up to the river front
and used for quarters for working on the island
Sleeping quarters and meals could thus be pro-
vided for several hundred men There num-
Der OF boats in the harbor now, including those OF
the Streokfus feet.
The idea is a good one. but it might be ampihed
and improved upon. For instance, there are scores
of quarterboats belonging to the war department and
built for housing men engaged in river Improvement
work that are now idle different points along the
stream There is quite feet OF them in Silver lake
faEeor in the Hennepin canal. Not much river i'm
provement is contemplated for this season and most,
if not all OF these quarterboats might well be spsred
Being the property Of branch Of the war depart
ment there ought to be little red tape to interfere
with transferring them to such other department or
bureau Is best equipped to handle the enterprise
Taken together probably they would provide shelter
for one or two thousand men-possibly as great a
number OF actual workers viii be housed in all
the dwellings the government proposes to erect in
the three cities With little lumber and building
paper and additional heating facilities the boats
might be made to serve fairly well even in winter.
Mr. Petersen would have the boats tied up the
Davenport sea wall. That would be all very well in
fair weather, they would be exposed to wind and
waves and in the fall they would have to be moved
because OF danger from the ice. There is better
place in Sylvan slough this side, better STILL in
the lock or the pool at Moline There they would be
more convenient to the island and beyond danger
from wind ice.
As an emergency measure, at least, the plan
seems worthy OF the attention of the department

I'm only thankful that Eloise

there was a long row OF them on
the mantel, making the house look
