CANCER BEYOND SCIENCE
Must Be Subjected to Treatment
Early, Surgeon Asserts.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 12.-The
medical profession has reached the
limit in what it can do for the cure
of cancer, is the opinion of Dr. j. G.
Bloodgood of Johns Hopkins medical
school, who read a paper last Friday
before the State Medical Association
on What surgery has accomplished
on the permanent control OF cancer. .
Cure of cancer is ineffective, DR.
Bloodgood said, and control of the
disease must be by treatment before
the disease develops or while it is in
an early stage. The problem is pri.
marily one for the public in getting
medical advice as soon as there is q
possibility of cancer.
Music hath power to soothe not
only the savage beast but the person
about to submit to a minor opera

found indispensable in the operating
ROOM" he said 1T soothes the
nerves of the patient and makes
him forget that he is being cut

TOM HIGGINS GREATEST FIGHT
WITH THE INDIANS

Tom Higgins was a noted Illinois
ranger during the War of 1912. One
morning near Fort Hills the Indians
ambushed Toms company and killed
several of them. As they fled to the
fort, Higgins stayed behind, vowine
that he would get at least one Indian
before he retreated. He got his In
dian, but just as he was preparing to
mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who
was lying on the ground wounded
called out to him: You won't leave
me to the Indians. will you, Tom?"
Higgins stopped and attempted to
lift Burgess onto his horse, but the
frightened animal jerked the reins
from Toms hand and dashed madly
away.
"You'll have to try to crawl to the
fort, Burgess" said Tom, land I will
stay behind and keep redskins Off"
AS Burgess crawled away, Higgins
ran in another direction to lead the
approaching Indians away from his
wounded comrade. In a few minutes
he was surrounded by the savages and
they wounded him in the leg as he fled
into a deep ravine. He was nearing
the fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One of them fired and
the ranger fell, wounded for the sec
ond time.
With wild yell the Indians rushed
at him with uplifted tomahawks, but
Higgins rose once more and shot one
Of them dead. The other two then at
tackled him with spears and toma-
hawks. Tom defended himself with
his knife until he was knocked to the
ground by a blow from tomahawk
which cut off one of his ears.
Finally the ranger tore spear from
the grasp of one of the Indians and
thrust it through the body of the 9TH
er. He was pulled to his feet as the
savage fell. The surviving warrior re-
treated toward his rifle and Tom, un-
daunted by his wounds, staggered aft
er him. The unequal combat had been
seen by the people in the fort, but they
were afraid to come to his assistance
until brave woman, named Mrs.
Pursley, cried out: Il will not see
such brave man die!"
She sprang upon horse and started
to Higgins aid. Shamed by her ex-
ample, several men galloped after her.
They reached the ranger just as a
large party of Indians We're ready to
swoop down upon him. They threw
Higgins, fainting from loss of blood,
across a horse and carried him back
TO the fort in safety.
Higgins did not recover from his
wounds for many years, but in his old
age he was given a pension for his
heroic act and was made a doorkeeper
In the state assembly at Vandalia.
