MANYIDEATHS BY CANCER
5000 DIE IN TWO YEARS IN WIS
C0NSIN-175, 600 IN u. S.
Wisconsin State Board of Health
Opens Vigorous War on the
Dread Disease

Madison, Wis.-With the knowledge
that deaths from cancer can be reduc-
ed one-half, through an understanding
OF certain facts regarding the dis
ease, the Wisconsin state board of
health is beginning a definite cam
paign of education which it is believ-
ed viii have far-readching effects. In
order that the nature and seriousness
of the problem confronting the peo-
pie of the state may be better appre-
ciated, it is stated that there has been
a steady increase in the cancer death
rate since 1911. During the past two
years there have been nearly 5000
deaths attributed to cancer in Wis
consin, greater number than during
any preceding biennium. During the
same period there were 175,000 deaths
from cancer in the United States.
Cancer is primarily a disease of
adult life, the greatest number of
deaths occurring between the ages of
80 and So years. Moreover, the af-
lection is more prevalent among wo-
men than men. Of all the deaths in
persons over the age of 40 years, one
in ID among men is due to cancer,
while among women of this age one
in eight deaths is due to this cause.
Between the ages of 35 and 45, three
times as many women as men die of
cancer; between as and 55, twice as
many. These figures indicate strik-
ingly that cancer attacks those in the
prime of life. This disease. moreover,
attacks rich and poor, educated and
ignorant, careful and careless, alike,
choosing as the time of its insidious
onset the most useful period of life.
Thus cancer makes its appearance
when the care and guidance Of chill
dren and the business responsibilities
are most pressing.
In order that suffering and death
from cancer may be notably decreas-
ed thorough campaign of education
is obviously necessary. Early dag
nosis, prompt and skilled treatment
are the keynotes in the campaign
against one of the most insidious and
exacting diseases known to mankind.
The board of health is planning such
a campaign and bespeaks for it the
keen interest and hearty support of
all citizens of the state.

HELD SCHOOL CARNIVAL
Flying Circus Took in S211 Friday
 Night; Big Attendance.

The school carnival, or flying circus at the school building Friday evening was a great success. The receipts of the evening was announced to have been $21120, almost double what had been expected. The great parade Fri day afternoon was quite novelty. Equipped with noise making iDstru- ments and many in black faces and fancy costume the nearly SOC school children created an attraction. At the school buildings there were num- erous sideshows in the various rooms and the ballahoo men on the outside, the flying confetty and the popcorn stands made it sound and look like the real thing. The shows on the in side were easily worth the price of admission. The main show in the au- ditorium was an old-fashioned min- strel show, always popular. The seats were all filled and many were standing. The receipts of the even- ing will be applied to the athletic fund. Ashdown can always be de- pended upon to look after her school interests.

The club room was attractive in it's decorations of green and white spring flowers. and St Patrick colors and emblerns Mrs r Il. Phillips was leader for the program on Health Laws" The first num0er was a well rendered piano solo by Rir. van Coats, one of the most accomplished muaic~ ians. The clubs appreciation was shown in the 'applause of the first and second numbers. and if the time had not been limited they might have in~ sisted on a third number Mrs. Phillips paper on "State Health Laws and their Local Enforcement" was well. written and educational. Mrs. Hartfeid's s pa- per on What Effect has Clean Food Supply on Public Health,' was very interesting. Mrs. J. E. Locke, accom- panied by MT. Coats, sang Come Back 
 to Erin,' and after short business session, presided over by the president, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. J. R. Johnston sang, "Felice," The color scheme was carried out in the dainty refreshments. l The press correspondent failed to mention in the writeup of the last club meeting, the paper, in the form of a re- port, written by Mrs. Ethel Sims, one of the clubs most brilliant writers, of the book shower, which was given in February. This paper, tho full of truth, was humorous and entertaining and the writer deserved quite lot of
 credit for writing it. We hope to have more of her papers in the near future.

DARKEIl GRAY HAIR, LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally that Mo-
 body can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when 1t fades, turns gray. dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is SO at- tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other Ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally. 50 evenly. that nobody can possibly tell 1t has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that. be- aides beautifully darkening the hair after . few applications. 1t also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an appearance of abundance. tcs
 Wyeth'0 Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is . delightful toilet requisite to iznpart color and a youthful ap- pearance to the hair. It Is not in. tended for the cure. mitigation or pre- vantion of disease.
