CANCER HAS VARIOUS ORIGIN
Peculiar Customs, 1t Has Been Proved,
Are Frequently Cause of Terri
ribie Disease.

In parts of China where the head Is
shaved by public BARRIERS the razors
used are often dull and full of hicks,
and the irritation of this scraping
often causes cancer. Chinese men suf-
fer from cancer of the pharynx and
esophagus due to their habit OF eat
ing very hot rice which is thrown into
the mouth forcibiy with chop sticks.
Chinese women eat after their lords
and masters, when the rice is cold,
and they never have this kind Of can
Ger. In India much cancer is caused
by the chewing of betel nuts. In
Kurdistan, India, the natives wear
baskets filled with hot Goals across
their abdomens to protect them from
the cold, and more than so per cent
of all the cancer in that region forms
in the abdomen and groin, while in other
countries such cancers are very rare

Two priyates met the company mail

"Any mail for me?" asked the first

1t was always dark enough in the
little back office in winter for the hard
ware dealer to have lamp burning. So
he did not notice the snow furry that

front of the store for needed exercise.

He opened the store door. There was
chill, clammy wind, and the snow

"Huml If that Chef Gormley were

"My goodness gasped the hard
ware dealer, and he started instantly
away from the store, bareheaded as he
was, without locking the door behind
him-something he had never done be-

CHAPTER XII.

p
Something Carolyn May Wishes to
Know.
Carolyn Mays heart was filed with
trouble.
This was the result of her first talk
with the old sailor. Not from him, nor
from anybody else, did Carolyn May
get any direct information that the
sailor had been aboard the Dunraven
on her fatal voyage. But his story
swoke in the child's breast doubts and
longings, uncertainties and desires that
had lain dormant for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her
and we're kind to her. But that feel
ing of emptiness" that had at first so
troubled Carolyn May was returning.
She began to droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty Rose discovered this physical
change very quickly.
"She's just like droopy chicken"
declared the good woman, ''and, good
ness knows. I have seen enough of
them"
So, as stimulant and a preventive
of ''droopiness," Aunty Rose prescribed
boneset tea, 'plenty Of it."
Three times day Carolyn May was
dosed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will never be
known. Carolyn May got no better,
that was sure; but one day something
happened.
Winter had moved on in its usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
had kept up all her interests-after a
fashion.
Benjamin Hardy had gone to Adams
camp to work. 1t seemed he could use
a peevy, or canthook, pretty well, hav-
ing done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim, the hackman, worked at
logging in the winter months, too. He
usually went past the Stagg place with
q team four times each day.
There was something Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy, but
she did not want anybody else to know
what 1t was-not even Uncle Joe or
Aunty Rose. Once in the fall and be-
fore the snow came she had ridden as
far as Adams camp with Mr.. Parlow.
He had gone there for some hickory
wood.
But, now, to ride on the empty sled
going In and on top Of the load of logs
coming out of the forest, Carolyn May
felt sure. would be much more exciting.
She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
on Friday evening.
"Well, now, If it's pleasant, don't
see anything to forbid. Do you, Aunty
Rose?" Mr.. Stage returned.
81 presume Tim will take the best of
care of her." the woman said. maybe,
getting out more in the air will make
her look less peaked, Joseph Stagg."
The excitement of preparing to go
to the camp the next morning brought
the roses into Carolyn Mays cheeks
and made her eyes sparkle. When
Tim, the hickman, went into town
with his first load he was forewarned
by Aunty Rose that he would have
company going back.

claimed Tim. ''The boys will near bout
take holiday"
There was but one woman in the
camp, Judy Mason. She lived In one
of the log huts with her husband. He
was a sawyer, and Judy did the mems
washing.
Benjamin Hardy was pleased, in
deed, to see his little friend again.
"You come with me, please" she
whispered to the old seaman after din
