CANCER WEEK
 ID BE OBSERVED

Cancer week will be observed throughout the nation beginning Oc- tober 30. The campaign will be car ried on by the American Society for the Control of the Cancer, which was organized in 1913. Dr. Charles A. Powers retired surgeon, of Den yer, is president.
 The society is carrying on a vigor- ous campaign of enlightenment to wake up the nation to the growing peril of cancer. This year they pro- pose to make a special effort to arouse a nationwide activity to control can cer, by persuading all who have or suspect they have the disease to se- cure immediate competent advice and treatment.
 During thet great war the United ing the same two years 18O,000 died of cancer in this country. Cancer is now killing one out of every ten per sons over forty years of age.
 Many of these deaths are prevent able, since cancer is frequently cur able, if recognized and properly treated in it's early stages.
 Cancer begins as small local growth which can often be entirely removed by competent surgical treat ment, or, in certain external forms, by using radium, X-ray or other me thods.
 Cancer is not constitutional or blood" disease; there should be no thought of digrace or of hereditary taint'' about it.
 Cancer is not a communicable dis ease. It is not possible to "catch" cancer from one who has it.
 Cancer is not inherited. It is not certain even that a tendency to the disease is inherited Cancer is so ire quent that simply by the law of chance there may be many cases in some families, and this gives rise to much needless worry about inherit ing the disease.
 The beginning of cancer is usu- ally painless; for this reason it's in- sidious onset is frequently over looked, and is too easily neglected. Other danger signals must be recog-
