their lack of knowledge, but do we al
ways manifest more wisdom than they
do in the exercise of their absurd be-
lief?
Even those who are nearest to us
sometimes surprise us by thi -nor-
ancc they display upon quest ms OF
vital importance TO their health. For
instance, the daughter of a surgeon
who is reputed to be fairly well up IN
his profession, married. In due course
of time, she became n mother. During
that critical period her father watched
over secretions, etc. She passed
through the trying ordeal quite as
nicely as if she had taken the once
famous twilight sleep" A few days
later. her father congratulated her
upon the ease with which she ac-
complished the supreme function OF
wOmanhood. In burst Of gratitude
she said, Eyes. mama had me use $500
worth of Mothers Friend"
The trouble with the profession and
the teachers generally is that we do
not quite live up to what we know.
The health physician Of a certain city
is a fine, jovial, happy go-lucky kind
of individual. He takes his work easy,
like he does every thing else. The
daily paper recently said of him, "Our
City Health Department does not take
itself very seriously nor its duties very
energetically." How applicable is that
to many of u.s.
| maintain that the responsibility OF
the cancer problem rests with the
profession and the intelligent educated
portion of the community. 1t is our
duty, as guardians Of the public health
to educate the laity. This duty has, by
force of circumstances, been committed
to our care, and we can not divest
ourselves of the responsibility.
You remember when Phillip was
travelling across the desert, he met an
eunuch of high authority, who had
charge ,of the treasures of Candace,
Queen of Ethiopia He was sitting in
his chariot, reading the book Of Isaiah,
the prophet. Phillip under the guild
ance of the spirit, said to him: Under
standest thou what thou readest?' and
the eunuch answered, How can I, eX-
cept some man guide me?" Then
Phillip got into the chariot and sat
down by the eunuch and taught him
the meaning of what he was reading.
The people are not to be censufed for
their woeful lack of knowledge con-
corning cancer, because we have not
taught them as we should.

NEW STEAM AUTOMOBILE
Rumor Has Built up Wonderful Story
of Perfected Power.

America has at last produced the
first low priced steam automobile ever
manufactured for general use, says a
report. Word comes from New York
that the steamer, the first steam car
produced in the $1,000 class, will make
its appearance in that city in about
three weeks.
The car is being built by firm in
indianapolis it is said. Engineers who
have studied the development Of gaso-
line and steam automobiles for the past
two decades declare that the simplicity,
the low operating costs and the un-
deniable power of "A practical steam car
in the low priced class will popularize
the steam driven engine, because the
complexities and faults Of earlier
steamers have at last been overcome.
The new steamer will appeal especi-
ally to women as it is easier to drive
than an electric. 1t has no gears to
shift and no carbon to burn out Of the
engine. There is no speed pedal to
operate, complete control being effected
by a throttle lever and brake. 1t pro-
duces no noise while running because
Of the lack of vibration so familiar in
a gas car, and it can easily climb hills,

starting from dead stop at any point
in the grade.
The car has the appearance OF a gaso-
line automobile of the latest model A
foot brake and shut off pedal occupy
the usual positions on the floor, while
gear lever similar in appearance to
those in use on gasoline cars is placed
as it would be for a gasoline engine?
There are electric headlights. The
rear axle is the same as those In ordi-
nary use. The radiator" which in
this car is the condenser, Is neverthe-
less to all appearances a radiator. "A
boiler occupies the position Just behind
the radiator and Immediately behind
the boiler. Under the drivers feet. Is
the engine. It is only In these units
that the car Is different from the
standardized gasoline cars.
To start the steamer the driver turns
the switch on the dash. The auto
matte and fool proof device with which
the machine is equipped do all the
rest. The switch starts a fan and a
pump The fan forces air through the
fire box and the automatic jet at the
top Of the box sprays Kerosene In
quantities exactly suited to the amount
OF air that enters. This insures perfect
combustion. The kerosene as 1t enters
is sprayed past spark plug which au-
tomatically ignites it, making the old
and Objectionable ftpilot light" thing
of the past. All fire Is absolutely en-
closed and has no connection with out
side air.
sOnce the fire is started by the simple
turn Of the switch, there will'De enough
steam for running almost Immediately.
A throttle lever placed just below
the wheel on the steering post controls
the entire forward movement Of the
car. There are speeds-two Of them
forward and one reverse-but there Is
no clutch. The car starts as rapidly
on high as on low.
The engine is said to be light, small
and powerful Tested as gasoline
engine would be tested 1t produces over
fifty horse power, yet 1t swings no ny
wheel and carries less than twenty
moving partsJ There are no spark
plugs in the cylinders, no carbon to
foul the oil and wear out the cylinder
walls and pistons. The pistons them
selves are fitted with three rings each
which seems to offer factor Of safety
far beyond anything that is usual

You will agree with me that the
smartest thing the Germans. did was
their propaganda. 1t kept the Allies
guessing at all times. 1t captured Ill.,
900 Italians at one fell swoop. 1t dis
rupted Russia until they fell to fight
ing themselves and are still devouritg
each other. 1t shook our own govern
ment until it rocked from center to
circumference. If propaganda in the
interest of error and falsehood, is
such a powerful weapon why should
we neglect to use it in the cause OF
truth? 1t is to spread the propaganda
concerning cancer that am pressing
this question home to you today. To
stir up your pure minds by way OF
remembrance in obedience to the com
mand to "sow seed beside all waters"
When once the people see the truth as
it is, they will arise in the power Of
their knowledge-for knowledge Is
power. They will instinctively turn to
the right source for relief. They will
deal with this great problem with the
intelligence Of an enlightened democ-
racy.
