The beating back of the German forces since the
first day at Chateau-Thierry has changed the
mental attitude of the whole German people,
It is no longer inspired by hope of ultimate

nightmare of it's own downfall.

A CUT IN TIME

Cancer is Of greater frequency at ages over
40 than tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid fever or
digestive Diseases
At ages over 40 one person in II dies of
cancer.
Yet cancer is not hopeless, incurable dis
ease. If taken at the beginning, the majority Of
cases of cancer are curable
Practically all cases will end in death if left
alone. Cancer is at first local disease 1t is
easily cured if promptly recognized and at once re-
moved by competent treatment. 1t is practically
always incurabe in it's later stages.
Records of the best hospitals prove that the
chances of cure very high with early operation
and that these chances decrease with every day of
