Cancer In its beginnings is local
disease: hence the vast Importance Of
its early recognition and cxtirpation.
All hope OF cure rests in the prompt
diagnosis and proper surgical treat
mcnt OF the disease. Cancer in the
later stages is practically never cured.
+Cancer Is most apt to begin at some
point which has long been subjected to
iocal irritation. In the very carly
stages thero Is usually no pain. but as
the growth advances pain u-.=iIy be-
comes prominent symptom.
External cancer is likely to start
from u wart. mole. old sore or a scar.
Irritation of the tongue by a defective
tooth, or OF the lip by hot pipe. when
long continued. may initiate the
Internal cancer Is apt to show symp-
toms before lump can be seen or
felt. Persistent indigestion, with loss
Of weight and color, is suggestive of
cancer ana SHOULD always prompt an
investigation.
There Is a peculiar hardness about
the feel Of most cancers which Is most
distinctive. Any hard lump appearing
upon the body should be examined by
Il physician and a diagnosis made. il
po Sn1 ,o before en pain In begins ,!g:s;
change in appearance or which has be
come sore should be completely re-
moved.
If portion OF suspicious lump is
removed for the purpose of diagnosis

radical removal must follow as the

its dissemination locally and in rcmn,c
parts Of the body.

Good Judgment.
BARRE Times.)

Somewhat general approval will be
given to the action of the Vermont sec
rotary of states department in re-
voking the license of a Wilmington
man to operate an automobile on the
ground that the man was both deaf
and dumb. Indeed, it is matter to
be wondered at that the Wilmington
man ever got license in the first place
because of such physical disabilities as
he carries would seem to bar him from
safe use of the highways, alone, wheth-
er he be driving horse, operating an
automobile or walking. Many of the
dangers of automobiling are made
known to the drivers of cars by tho
sense of hearing, and the signal for
the right to pass from the rear is al
SO given by sound; so it would seem
that totally leaf person. riding alone
would be handicapped and even com.
pletely disqualified for safe driving fol
himself or for others on the highway
1t may appear to be a hardship to the
Wilmington man to deprive him of thf
right to drive motor vehicle but mas
much as there is grave danger always
| imminent the action of the licensing
authority in revoking the license is
good judgment.

A writer in the Barre Times is much
concerned over the future of the apple
orchards in Vermont unless they receive
more careful attention. He is no doubt
warranted in the fears he has. a great
many orchards that otherwise would be
productive and sources of good income
are unquestionably practically valueless
today because they have been allowed to
go to ruin for lack of any care whatever
Some of these trees, albeit old and
broken, can be saved for mary years to
come or while young trees are coming
r to bearing age. There are instances
where progressive orchardists have gotten
/ hold of rundown property and harvested
considerable crops of fruit while the new
ly planted trees were gaining growth. A
conspicuous instance of this kind is seen
on the property of R. r. McRae, Castle
ton Corners, in Rutland county. Some
old and decrepit trees were properly
pruned and have been productive of high
class fruit. Meanwhile Mr. McRae has a
magnificent young orchard OF 12,G08 to

now to come into full fruitage

SPOTS ON THE MOON.
Many Queer Ideas Prevail Regarding
These Dark Disks.

A great many curious ideas exist in
various parts of the world regarding the
dark spots in the moon IS disk. In the
eastern part of Asia the spots are be-
lieved to be a rabbit or a hare; the
Chinese, in particular, look upon them
as a hare sitting up and pounding rice
in a mortar Most of the Siamese take
the same view Some few, however, see
in the moon a man and woman working
in field. Curiously enough, the North
American Indians have almost the same
superstition as the Chinese, and on old
monuments in Central America the moon
appears as a Jug or vessel, out of which
an animal like a rabbit is jumping.
The South American Indians, on the
other hand believe that girl, who had
fallen in love with the moon, sprang up
ward toward it. was caught and kept
by it, and that it is her figure which is
seen on the moons face.
The Samoa Islanders look on the spots
as representing a woman carrying q
child, and many other Southern peoples
have similar beliefs, the woman and
child sometimes being altered into an
old woman bearing burden on her back
The Eskimos have an original supersti
ton. They say that one day Amiga, the

around and threw a great handful Of
