DR.. SKINNER TELLS OF CANCER
Kansas City Physician Addresses
Shawnee Medical Society.

Cancer is essentially a disease of
civilization" DR.. E. H. Skinner, of
Kansas City, Mo, told the physicians
of Shawnee county at the regular
meeting of the Shawnee County Medi-
cal society at the Elks club Monday
evening. DIR. Skinner thoroly dis
cussed cancer with the doctors.
He pointed out that while cancer
Is on the increase in civilized countries,
it is almost never met with among
savage peoples. 1t is also rare, he
pointed out. among people who do not
use salt, 'pre-digested foods" and
condiments.
There were 10000 deaths from
cancer in the United States last year."
DR.. Skinner said-"double the number
of battle deaths in the A E. F.
''The rate of death, from cancer is
increasing, without doubt" DR.. Skin
ner said. The rate of increase is
doubtless due to the fact that cancer
is more generally recognized now than
formerly, and deaths which were
really caused by cancer in the past
were not credited to it
Pain is a useless symptom of can
Ger, because it develops only after
there is a marked development of the
cancer"
There were sixty deaths from can
Ger in Topeka during 1921, an in
crease of five deaths over the record
OF the previous year

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 3.-WHEAT-Liquida
ton set in shortly after the opening and
continued right thru the session, increas-
ing in volume as the market got into new
low ground. There was very little news in
circulation and the only thing given any
consideration whatever was the disturbing
financial news growing out of the an
nouncement that one of the largest banks
in the country had been compelled to alb
sorb another large Chicago bank. This
created a very bad feeling despite evil
dence from other directions that the worst
of the financial crisis is passed and that
business conditions are on the mend. The
ported that they find business improving
all over the country. Cash prices in all
markets were lower with the futures but
the demand was fully equal to the supply
and spot markets were by no means weak.
Primary receipts for three days totalled
only SOS, 600 bushels. The visible supply
change was unimportant. The world s

break will carry a minimum of risk.
CORN-Buying was held in check and
the market displayed a firm tone The
feature of the days developments was the
activity of the cash demand. The seaboard

VALERA REJECTS
fcestinued from Page one.I

fCentinued from Page One.D
The climax of the stubborn battle
which was to decide the fate of the
Irish peace treaty was reached today
when Dali Eireann convened to con-
tinue the deliberations broken off for
the Christmas holidays. There was a
general feeling of confidence that the
pact would be ratified. During the re-
cess of Dali sentiment in favor of the
treaty increased.
Will Continue Fight.
That Eamonn de Valera and his ad-
herents opposing the treaty intend to
continue the fight for a republic even
if the pact is ratified, was shown by
the fact that a newspaper-"The Re-
public of Ireland"-the personal or
gan of De Valera. made its appearance
today. The initial issue printed a
scathing attack upon the treaty and
announced boldly that the struggle
for an Irish republic would be con-
tinued.
The action of the opposition In
launching a newspaper as vehicle OF
their contention. showed that two
powerful factions already have grown
up in Irish politics and that the old
Sim Fem party is split.
Belfast Scene of Riots.

Paris, Jan. 3.-Premier BRAND and
Louis Loucheur. minister for liberated
regions, will depart for Cannes this
evening. According to an interview
appearing in the Paris euition of the
London Daily Mail. the premier will
hold forth the olive branch of con-
Citation to the British premier on his
arrival.
The premier pleaded for closer ties
between France and Great Britain.
Must Ally With British.
THE key to the whole European
situation ana to Frances security is
a. pact of alliance with Great Britain"
he said. France has repeatedly
asked for such an alliance and has
made known her willingness to enter
into it.
1T would be the best proof that
our naval program is not directed
against our British friends. Let there
be a strong pact between Great Bri-
tain and France, which will gradually
absorb other alliances.
"Other allies can be taken in from
time to time under agreements similar
TO that in the Pacific treaty. But the
Franco-British pact must be the basis

Three Big Questions.
Three Troublesome questions will

British hold divergent views.
1. German indemnity.
2. Frances naval aspirations.
3. The situation in the Near East
1t is taken as a foregone conclusion
that NJ. BRAND will renew the re-
quest he made in his recent confer
ence with Premier Lloyd George in
London, namely that allied fiscal COM
missions of control should be sent into
Germany to supervise The finances of
the nation. The British oppose any
such move.
Near East To Come Up.
On the naval issue, the British are
hostile to Frances demands for a big
fleet of submarines and light cruisers.
AS to the Near East Britis, senti-
ment has favored the Greeks, while
the French showed sympathy for the
Turkish nationalists by entering into
a treaty with them. The British re-

UGH Doubt of Root Plan.
Strong doubt was expressed whether
the Root resolution would be adopted
as it lies. Indications were that the
French and japanese, at least, will de-
cline to approve it, Gltho they have
not received final instructions from
their respective governments. The
sentiment among the delegates here
however. is against it. The opinion
was expressed in responsible quarters
that the naval treaty ultimately will
go no farther than pledging the DOW
ers to observe existing international
law in the visit and search" of mer-
chant vessels by submarines in war
time.
Methods of scrapping existing ton
mage. methods of replacement and the
ton can begin, are other minor points
that remain to be adjusted.
1t Is possible. too, that consideration
or Chinese problems will be resumed
this week. Negotiations are under
way for reopening of the Chino
japanese conversations over the re-
turn of Shantung which were discon-
tinued when deadlock was reached
over the matter of railroad contorl.
Continue Naval Terms Study.
Naval experts of the arms confer
ence delegations continued today their
study of technical details remaining to
be settled in connection with the naval
limitation agreement while other
naval and far eastern questions
formed the subject of informal con-
eerences for many of the delegates.
Final adjustment of the limitation
agreement was still looked for by the
end of the week
In the far eastern field there was
also another meeting today for the
subcommittee appointed to formulate
new tariff program for China.
