They need care, love and sympathy
just as much as food and shelter.
Recently my o and my nus
band have tried to influence me not
to take in any more children, and
I've promised not to.
II suggested to some of the other
boys that they find other homes, and
what do you suppose they did? just
took rooms next door, but live here
just the same!
my house hasn't always beer
the tidiest one OF the block, and
haven't had much time for parties
or fancy clothes, but I wouldn't
trade my family for any life of ease"
Needless to say, Mrs. Alder's
home is not in the most fashionable
section of New York or is it done
in the latest style. To tell the truth,
it's a bit shabby with furniture thai
has seen wear and carpets that bear
evidence OF heavy traffic.
But fourteen children who have
been sheltered and mothered there
are ready to testify to the world
that it's a zeal home and that Mrs,
Adler has made a success of her pro-
fession of motherhood.

The Cancer Problem
BY DIR. II. III. BISHOP

There is a crying need for the
dissemination of a lot of informa-
ton to the public on the subject OF
cancer.
Appendicitis used to be a prac-
tically fatal disease. Not until the
fact was broadcast thoroughly that
speedy operation was the only SAL
walton did appendicitis lose its dread
reputation. Something Of the sort
must be done in the case Of cancer.
Cancer is confined almost exclu-
sively to adult life. Largely because
of neglect and ignorance, nine out
Of ten cases are fatal. Yet IL proper
precaution and treatment were OBJ
served, it is probable that more than
half of these deaths could be pre-
vented.
There are three forms Of unneces-
sary worry about cancer. People
often believe 1T is contagious, heredi-
tary or a blood disease. It is none
of these.
The most dangerous thing about
cancer Is that its onset Is frequently
painless. If 1t were painful from
the first most people would take
warning and less cases would be
fatal. 1t is, therefore, the part of
wisdom for all adults to have In
| si6ious sores that have been irritated
for some time examined.

The story raises the question as
to whether a beautiful and talent

herself the right to happiness in or

ice of a crippled sister. In this
story, Miss Swanson appears as a

Her career, however, proves a gid
