New Cancer Theory.

Contrary to general belief, DR.. L. M

clan, declared at a recent convention
Of the American Association for Med
lco-Physical Research held in Chicago
that the cancer is not hereditary, not
contagious and is positively durable.
zone 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-
tected.
Cancer is absolutely durable, in
from one to three months, If treated
in its earlier stages, and for this treat
ment use a 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 confine the
patient to bed, but permits of the usu-
al work or duty each day while under

MANY USES FOR PATcHoULI
Employed to Impart Distinctive odor
to Indian shawls-Hlghly Popu-
lar Throughout India.

A few years ago real Indian shawls
bore extravagant prices, and purchas-
ers distinguished them by their odor.
In fact, they are perfumed with pat
chouli. The French manufacturers
had for some time successfully imi-
tated the Indian fabric, but could not
impart the odor At length they dis
covered the secret and began to i'm
port this plant to perfume articles Of
their own make. From this origin the
perfumers have brought it into use.
The powdered leaves are put into
muslin bags to prevent cloth being at
tackled by moths. The leaf is largely
Imported by Mogul merchants. 1t is
used in India as an ingredient in to-
bacco for smoking and for seeming

oil is in common use among the SUI
perior classes of natives for impart-
ing the peculiar fragrance of the leaf
to clothes.
The Arab merchants buy it chiefly,
employing 1t for stufing mattresses
and pillows, asserting that it is very
eficacious in preventing contagion and
in prolonging life.

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 Schuylkin river, near Valley Forge.
The place has a population of about
six hundred, two churches, a schools
house, a home for poor children, three
picturesque old mills and about 160
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 Few homes.
A few years ago Valley Forge park
contained only $50 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 Port Kennedy
Presbyterian church, is leading the
movement to establish a new commu-
nifty. ''This presents big problem to
most of u.s." he says. 1.-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; Al of our people
have agreed to buy lots there. "-Bos-

had found no sale for my apples and
had shipped them to an adjoining town
90 miles away, where they were sold
at price, which, after deducting two
commissions and the additional freight.
left me 55 cents a .bushel.
Naturally tais took all the fight out
of me and the rest of our crop was
marketed through the jobbers. The
total sales for the 5000 bushels were
$4,000 But these apples cost the
consumer more than $4,000.
had a new scheme for the ensuing
year. advertised in the papers Of
several towns that we would deliver
fancy No. apples to the homes Of the
people. with the privilege Of inspection
before paying express prepaid, for 50
a bushel. At that same time the usual
retail, market price was more than 81.
We also sent circulars to the people
whose names appeared In the tele-
phone books. AS a result of this CAM
palgn we sold less than 900 bushels,
which did not pay for the cost Of the
advertising. Evidently the housewife
is not anxious to save money, OF else
she has little faith.
Since then we are going on raising
the best apples we know how to pro
duce. We prune and pillow and fer
tilize. We spray carefully. We pick
by hand with the utmost sOlicitude.
Our apples are large and free from
bitter rot and other blemishes.
But we sell them through the job
bers, and we receive an average OF
50 busheI even now with the prevail
ing high prices, and these same apples
cost the retail dealers twice that sum.
The difference goes into the rapacious
and never-satiated nav Of the men
who. do nothing to raise fruit or to
sell it or to put any real value into it !;
but who live on the efforts of the other
two real laborers. I think that they
ought to spell their names with an ini-
tial R instead Of ].
But they have on their side antiquity
and religious prestige. For even way
back in the time Of the Garden Of
Eden there was there an apple tree.
Eve tended this tree and watched its
fruit. When it was ripe she presented
it to Adam. Thus Eve was the pro-
Queer and Adam the consumer. But
that was not all. Even there was to
be found the middleman; the Bible
calls him by a more characteristic
name.

inquiries were unsuccessful, the dealS

jobbers of the city had sent an agent
to see them the day before and told
them that If they took my apples as
agreed, the jobbers would refuse them
further "courtesies"-wh meant
they could buy no more fruit from
the regular wholesale dealers. In self
protection, therefore, the retailers had
to decline my shipments. The one who
had dared to disobey this drastic or
der from the overlords was the
largest retail firm in the city, which
also conducted a wholesale depart
ment, and had taken the apples In that
side of their business.
Still unconquered, but feeling mighty
weakened, went to the jobbers direct.
The first man who learned my name

oath that he couldn't do business with
