PERCEPTJRJE RJIrSu

An error was made in the 1921
Grade Rule Booklet and it is now
given out by the State Department of
Agriculture, that Extra Fancy Win
tel Bananas must have a perceptible
blush, and they come under blushed
varleties-that is, they must have a
red tinge on one side.
Jonothans now come under striped
red instead of red and require 66 2-3
per cent for extra fancy and 25 per
cent striped color for fancy.

DEMOCRACY IN THE EAST.

Philip Kinsley, who mas recently
been in the Orient with Gen.
Leonard Wood, makes an interest
ing point in regard to the recent
developments in the direction of
democracy:
Democracy is lifting its head in
the Orient. It is widening its base
in the Philippines. and that is why
the powers are looking askance at
our experiment there. 1t is caus-
ing uneasiness in Dutch Java, re-
bellion in India and uprisings in
Korea. In China there is stirring
Of The sleepers.
There is liberal element in ia
pan also, but we will not be-deaiing
with it in the Washington confer
ence. We will be playing chess with
the men who put swords on the
school teachers in Japanese colo
Mes
In China, Mr.. Kinsley found very
striking growth Of the democratic
ioea, especially in Canton. In ia
pan alone. he feels, the old order
still prevails.
Japan moves slowly, but its peo-
pie learn if given time enough, or
keen enough teaching. 1t presents
: - .,-- -
face of more difficulty, also, for
a foreigner to read. 1t is likely
that if Mr.. Kinsley had been able
to stay there longer, to study more
deeply, he might have found the
rumbliags there, too.

IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT
CANCER.

All the literature published as
a part of the cancer week" cam
paign agrees on two points: Only
medical advice of known reliability
should be sought, and no time
should be lost in seeking it, where
there is the slightest reason for
anxiety.
Many persons suffering from
symptoms of tunlor or cancer hesi-
tate to seek medical advice for fear
an operation will be urged. They
dread the multilation which oper-
alton sometimes implies. Here is
where promptness is the saving
grace. If the growth is taken in
time, operation may not be needed
If it is not, no reputable medical
authority will urge it.,.;Moreoye~, if
an operation is necessary it will
probably be slight, and there viii
be no recurrence Of the trouble to
necessitate further cutting. If the
growth is Benign this same
promptness provides for its cure or
removal before it reaches the ma
1ignant stage which often develops
later
Cancer is not hereditary. It is not
contagious. It is not disgracoful.
Taken in time, it is; seldom fatal

REPKEsENTING FRANCE.

Marshal Foch is Frances most
inAuential enaissary. Though not a
delegate to the Washington arms
conference. and having little direct
! ~ TO do with it, he will probably
WELD more power in that con-
ference IN behalf Of France than
any other Frenchman. And
France needs such help as he can
rerde it today in diplo-
MACY almost as much as she needed
IL thrse years ago in war.
Americans are rather inclined to
regard France as militaristic since
the afmistice. They know that
France has maintained large
amy IN the field, ana has today the
most powerful army in the world,
and is the chief exponent of mill
fAry eficiency and the leader of
the nations that regard large land
armament as still necessary. Amer
leans, too, have been disposed to
condemn France for her insistence
along that lire and as foe to dis
armament in general.
Whether France has been judg-
Cd rightly or wrongly in this mat
ter it is hard TO say. Certain it is,
however. that if anybody can win
support in this country for the
French view, Marshal Foch is the
man. he himself stands immov-
Sabay for a strong, sef-suficient
