THEY STAND THE TEST
Of HARD WEAR

1875 miles is the distance walked by
II. M. Foreman on one pair of Neolin
SoIes. MIR. Foreman, who is a postman
in Allentown, Pa, says The shoes with
Neolin Soles gave me continuous serv-
ice for 91z months, during which time
/ averaged Is miles day. Ordinary
soles last me about ole month
If you are hard on shoes, follow MIR.
Foreman's example and buy them with
Neolin Soles. These sOles are created
by Science to be especially tough and
durable. Therefore, Neolin-soled shoes
wear long time, and so cut your shoe
bills down. Good shoe stores carry
them in many styles for men, women,
and children.
And have shoes re-bottomed
with Neol. Remember-they
are comfort I'D waterproof. also.

New York.-Study of cancer during

director of the George Crocker special

Thousands Of mice which had been
raised for research work were turned
over to the government. The mice
breathe very rapidly and are far more
sensitive to gases than human beings,
so that they were kept in exposed sec
tors and observed closely, because

Death Rate Jumped.

AS cancer Is most prevalent In per-
sons over the military age, the proper
tion Of deaths from this cause natur-
ally jumped where the proportion OF
men Of younger ages was reduced.
In this country, likewise, the records
were found to show that cancer was
most prevalent in Vermont and least
so in Utah and Montana, hut this was
explained as being due to the fact
that a large percentage of the youth
Of Vermont had migrated and that a
larger proportion of the population In
the western states was composed or
newcomers, generally young men and
women.
Among countries. cancer mortality
was greater in Switzerland, and was
highest generally where the highest
civilization was found. Doctor Wood
supposes this to he due, not to any
connection between cancer and high
state OF civilization, but TO the fact
that cancer is less often diagnosed
and reported AS the cause of death In
countries like Russia.
