New Cancer Theory

Contrary to general belief, DIR. L. NJ.
Ottofy, prominent st. Louis physi-
clan, declared at recent convention
of the American Association for Med
ico-Physical Research held in Chicago
that the cancer is not hereditary, not
contagious and is positively durable.
'One result of the great war" he
said, ''has been the great prevalence
Of cancer. the result of wounds and
other causes. But cancer is not con-
tagious and, like leprosy, while it may
be latent in the system, does not de-
velop in the offspring of the one af-
fected.
Cancer is absolutely durable, in
from one TO three months, if treated
in its earlier stages. and for this treat
ment / use pus serum made from
the afflicted patient and then reinject-
ed into the veins of the patient from
whom it is so obtained. The treatment
is not painful and does not conf,ne the
patient to bed. but permits of the usu-

The average woman may have little
use for very elaborate negligees, but
for daintiness, loneliness of color and

specialists in the manufacture of neg

bulk of their output combines just
these elements. "Negligee" is a term
that includes a very wide variety of

Our needs demand at least ten neg

daintily made in lovely coors, to one

PARK TO REPLACE VILLAGE
Extension of Public Domain Makes
Necessary Sacrifice Of Port Ken
nedy in Pennsylvania.

The state of Pennsylvania, through
the Valley Forge park commission, has
condemned by right of eminent domain
the entire village of Port Kennedy, on
the Schuylkill river, near Valley Forge.
The place has population Of about
six hundred two churches, a school
house, home for poor children. three
picturesque old mills and about 100
dwellings. All but the schoolhouse
and the churches are to be torn down
to make way for the enlargement of
Valley Forge park, and the whole VII
lage Is wondering where it is going to
find new homes.
A few years ago Valley Forge park
contained only 250 acres. Somebody
discovered that the act creating the
park provided that it should lie with
in the outposts of Washington's en-
campment. Port Kennedy seems to
come within that territory although
there has been considerable historical
argument on the point.
For some years the villagers have
been fighting the plans of the com
mission to extend the park, but now
they have given up. The Rev. Rhea
COffman, pastor of the Fort Kennedy
Presbyterian church. is leading the
movement to establish a new commu-
nifty. This presents big problem to
most of u.s. he says THE majority
of Port Kennedy people earn their liv-
ing at the nearby magnesia mills and
getting away from here may mean
serious financial loss. We have been
organizing prospective lot buyers and
have obtained an option on a 90-acre
tract that is still within walking dis
lance of the mills; Il of our people
have agreed to buy lots there '-Bos-
