AT THE PREMIER

It is interesting to recall in connec-
ton with the showing of the George
Melfora Production, "The Sea Wolf"
1T the Premier theatre today, the
keen interest its talented author, Jack
London, always had in the San Fran
cisco water front, which is the locale
and the background for many of the
most striking scenes in the photoplay.
London lived inn Oakland, just across
San Francisco Bay and took especial
delight in asociating with the rough
sailormen from the four quarters of
the glcbe who came from their an
chored ships to frequent the "Barbary
Coast resorts and spin their adven-
turous yarns London .lsed them free

"Th6 Sea Wolf"-the enigmatic,

In a circular issued by the Viz
ginia division Of the American So
ciety for the control OF cancer it IL
set forth that each year $4,000 peo-
pie die from cancer. One out Of ten
women over th;rty-five years Of
age dies from cancer. 1t is pointed
out that haf of these d1%ehs might
have been averted if taken in time.
Other facts given follow:
During the Great War the United
States lost about $4,000 soldiers.
During the same two years 10000
people died Of cancer in this country.
Cancer is now killing one out Of
every ten persons over forty years
Of age.
Many of these deaths are prevent
able. since cancer is frequently cur
able. if recognized and properly
treated in its early stages.
Cancer begins as a 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
methods.
Cancer is not a constitutional or
"blood" disease: there should be no
thought of disgrace on of "heredi-
tary taint" about it.
Cancer is not a communicable dis.
ease. Il is not possible to catch
cancer from one who has it.

While he told them funny stories
About his mother-in-law

But | couldn't tell
From his talk
Until he got down to brass tacks
And began to sell tie-holders
To beat the band

And didn't really want'em
But bought 'em

To use the tin contraptlons
On their ties.
