CANCER CAN BE CURED
HEALTH BOARD AYERS

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 14.-Cancer is
durable but only if treated in early
stages and by competent" surgeons.
This is the keynote of the COncer
week campaign, now in progress, aim
ing to spread knowledge of the in
sidious beginnings of this disease and
the need for prompt operation when
the manifestations are positive. Dan
ger lies in the fact that, in the absence
of pain, victims permit symptoms,
such as persisting Jumps, sores that
do not heal, and other signals to go
unheeded so that it frequently pro-
crosses to a point that renders effec-
tive interference either difficult or i'm
possible.
The state board of health enumer-
ated these facts about cancer: At the
beginning cancer is usually painless,
which tends to throw the victim off
guard At first, also, it is small
growth. If operated upon at this
stage, recovery is usually assured. 1t
can be safely and readily removed by
a competent surgeon or by other
treatment in the hands of a reputable
physician.
knowledge that cancer is not a
constitutional or blood disease, that
it is not infectious, nor hereditary,
should give peace of mind in many
quarters.
Every lump in the breast" says
the state board of health" should i'm
mediately be examined by compe-
tent physician When indicated the
treatment should be prompt and
thorough. A persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding should be regarded
with great suspicion and medical adj
vice sought at once. Sores, cracks,
decorations, Jumps and ulcers which
do not heal rapidly, and warts, moles
or birthmarks which change in size,
color or appearance should likewise
be regarded with suspicion. Expert
ence has shown that cancer rarely re-
suits from a sudden injury. Continued
sources of irritation are now regarded
as the usual cause of cancer.
"The keynote Of cancer prevention
is insistence upon thorough physical
examination by a competent physi-
clan. The doctor who treats sus
picious symptom lightly is in the same
class as the quack who prescribes the
cancer cure or the person who
recommends the patent nontrum.
There is no medicine which will cure
cancer, and corrosive pastes are worse
than useless. The best possible adj
vice and scientific treatment are none
too good for those who would escape
death from cancer"
Comprehensive information on this
subject is available in printed form
One of the popular pamphlets, en-
titled Cancer: Facts Which Every
Adult Should Know" is obtainable
from the state board of health, Madi-
son, free on request
Were every adult in Wisconsin
knowledge concerning cancer" the
board concluded, "the steadily mount
ing death rate would be halted and
soon move in the opposite direction. ;"

TALE OF A MASONIC CHARM

A congressman, the story goes,
years ago was far from home and got
short of cash. He had a Masonic
charm on his watch chain, and noticed
that fellow traveller in the smoker
wore similar charm. He sat down
by him and said confidentially
Brother, am up against it. Lend
me 500 till get home" His casual
travel companion glanced at the
charm, looked him over, and finally
handed him the hundred, which was
promptly returned when the congress
man got home. Recently the two men
met at a gathering of Masons and re-
called the incident
Say" said the mar who lent the
money when you met me on that
train wasn't Mason at all. I had
found the charm and put it on my
chain. You thought Twas a Mason,
however, and I was ashamed to have

distress. But ] wasn't Mason Their"
"Just between u.s." was the con-
CHEESEMAN'S reply, 81 wasn't either. I
was wearing my fathers watch. -

WHAT is FREEDOM?
(By George Fitch,


Freedom is mans ability to do as
he blamed pleases.
1t is the choicest gift of civilization
and is the most highly valued next to
the ability to make some other man
do what you blamed please.
From the beginning of history, men
have fought for freedom at every OPP
portunity. Nothing has made brave
men to buckle on their swords and
wade through rivers of gore so cheer
fully as the belief that someone was
holding out on them in the liberty
line. America became a free country
almost $50 years ago and yet today
the fight for freedom goes on more
fiercely than ever Scarcely an cleo.
ton occurs in this country in which
some patriot does not arise to plead
with the people to strike off their
shackles and vote as one man for
freedom as represented by the right
to drink beer all night or to organize
a holding company with grabbing at
tachmentS.
This sad condition does not exist
because of any lack of desire to souse
this land in the purest brand of free
dom, but because it is so difficult to
determine who shall partake thereof
It is very easy to secure perfect free
dom for one man but in order to do
this he must be enabled to interfere
with the freedom of several thousand
others. If he does as lie pleases he IS
bound to interfere with some other
man who has perfect right to do as
he pleases. Nothing is more annoy
ing than to be struck in a vital spot
by some unfettered son of freedom
who is driving an automobile down
the wrong side of the street at a mile
a-minute gait in full pursuance OF his
sacred privileges.
Man had perfect freedom before
government was invented, but it
proved to be very unhealthy, owing
to the extreme fluency with which
they killed each other while exercls-
ing the same. Gradually it became
the custom to toss a certain amount
of freedom into the common pot and
make a law out of it. We are now
captive bound by 1000 laws with
prison clause in each; yet the death
rate has gone down remarkably and
we do not have to bury our wealth
and watch over it with a battleaxe
any more.
There are still people who yearn
for perfect freedom and indulge in it
now and then to excess. But they do
not last long. Sooner or later they
are taken up as common nuisances
and filed away in stone. mansion for
future reference.
We have no perfectly free men any
more, but we have 100,000,000 people
who are not interferred with by other
peoples freedom to any extent, which
is a greater blessing.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1922-11-15

We have met them and you have
met them, we mean the fellows who
are always harping about their oppo-
sition and in fact they do more boost
ing for the other fellows business
than they do for their own. It's try
ing game to build yourself UP by tear
ing the other fellow down. 1t simply
can't be done and opposition never
hurt anybody who had any "get-up-
and-do" To our mind the fellow who
gives value received, makes a little
better product and is able to sell a
little cheaper than his competitor is
the man who wins. Energy spent in
trying to tear down your competitor
is wasted energy-effort thrown away.
Bear in mind that in getting rid of a
35 per cent efficient opponition you
may open up an avenue for 100 per
cent efficiency fellow as competitor
who may keep you jumping every
minute of the time. Forget your OPP
position-Don't be afraid of COMPETE
tion-Real business men thrive on it.

BONUS BILL PASSAGE
BY END OF WEEK is
THOUGHT POSSIBILITY
fRy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Commit-
tee changes In the house soldiers
bonus bill having been approved the
senate turned today to consideration
of individual amendments. Disposition
of these was not expected to consume
a great deal of time and passage of
the measure this week was regarded
by some leaders as possibility.
Pending amendments included that
by Senator Bursum, Republican, New
Mexico proposing half cash and half
certificates of Indebtedness for the
veterans This proposal was rejected
yesterd ~ without debate or roll
call but the vote was reconsidered so
that Senator Bursum might discuss
the amendment today.
Other Plans in Mind.
Aside from this proposition, Senator
Smoot of Utah, ranking Republican on
the finance committee has in mind a
paid up insurance plan and also sales
tax amendment Senator McNary, Re-
publican, Oregon, plans to present the
land reclamation bill as substitute
for the land settlement action ap-
proved by the committee.
The speed with which the senate
worked late yesterday came as some
thing of surprise to most friends OF
the bill who had looked for determined
opposition every step of the way. Ii
was understood, however that oppon-
ents, believing President Harding
would veto the measure were disposed
to let it go through this time without
extended discussion. Should the presi.
dent return it without his approval
they expected to center their efforts
against its passage over his veto and
believed they would be successful.

Shortage of Labor
Brings About Boost
in Scale of Wages
(By United Press)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug PA
growing shortage of labor was cred
tied by observers here today for the
upward trend in wages, as exemplified
most notably in the 20 per cent in
crease by the United States Steel cor
poration.

tion is better than it has been for two
years, said B. c. Seiple, head of the
State-City Free Employment bureau
For the first time in months, Seiples
said, Cleveland is experiencing actual
shortage of common labor, and adver-
tisements bring no replies. Reports
show that 2,502 applicants out OF
