BEWARE-CANCER!

One woman in eight and one man in IA dies of cancer. So
the public should gladly give deep thought to the medical
warnings and advice circulated during Cancer Week, Nov.
1918.
Here are the important facts you should know about this
dread disease:
First-Cancer usually is caused by chronic irritation,
particularly Of the stomach. Thirty per cent. Of cancers in
men and q per cent. in women are in the stomach.
Second-Cancer is not contagious. 1t is not a germ dis
ease.
Third-Cancer is not hereditary, though a person may
inherit a tendency or physical weakness which, not safe
guarded, may enable cancer to develop easily.
Fourth-Cancer, taken in the early stages, often is cur
able in the hands Of medical experts. Radium is working
wonders in this line. So is surgery.
DR.. Francis Carter Wood, director of the Columbia Uni
versity Institute Of Cancer Research, learned this: Between
the ages of Is and 10, only one person in 100000 dies OF can
Ger. Between 20 and q, only one person in 100000. Between
25 and "a, one man in 10000 and one woman in 5000 dies OF
cancer. And so the rate rises until, between the ages Of 65
and rs, one man in 200 and one woman in $50 dies OF cancer.
Thus cancer is especially dangerous in middle-age and
after. But the irritation or other cause Of cancer often starts
much earlier, so no one is immune, and all should be on their
guard.
bv a skilled physician is the best safeguard against cancer.

FOR REPAIRING CITY STREETS

Unless some remedy can be found for ripping up the pave
ments throughout the city almost as soon as they are laid, the
Board OF Aldermen ought to make provision for a street repair
outfit without delay. At least such equipment ought to be included
IN making up the budget for next year.
Perth Amboy is notorious for tearing holes in the streets.
We never heard of a city with so many leaks in the water mains.
1t Is expensive to the taxpayers as well as damaging to the pave
ments. 1t must be a heavy drain on the water department to main
tam the gang of men necessary to fix these leaks all the time. But
If the leaks are to continue land there seems to be no remedy for
them) it is plain that still another gang of men is required to re-
pair the streets after the leaks have been fixed.
Such equipment is essential for every up-to-date city, how
ever, because as the number of paved streets increases the proper
upkeep OF the pavements becomes an important factor and a mod
en repair kit furnishes the only solution. The proper apparatus
for mixing and heating the material and a small steam roller ought
to be owned by the city. 1t would be economical in the long rur
and would enable the city to keep its streets in much better con-
dition.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert AppIe)

Ivan
Henry Ford predicts that the
300, 900, 600 people of Russia even
tually will be manufacturing and
buying more autos than Americans.
Russia's comeback may he a lot
nearer than most of us imagine.
Ford says that within the not dis
AM future" he expects to have
plants in Russia producing autos
from Russian raw materials exclu-
sively.
When pessimistic about the final
outcome in Russia, remember that
dormant power cannot be locked up
forever.
Russia may be our best export
customer by 1880.
Life seems to run in a circle. A

TRAPS FOR THE THIRSTY
IS PROFITABLE GAME

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
prohibition situation in this country
has suggested to some European
promoters a new and profitable
game.
There is the American, thirsty
and with plenty of money, med1-
tates the get-rich-quick European.
Thoughts OF sherry and port, Mo-
selle and Rhine wine must recall to
him a lost paradise. Why not Of
fer him a concentrated mixture
with which he can reconstruct these
| fine vintages. 1t would not be nee
| essary to go to much trouble, any
simple preparation of fruits would
| do. Nc home brewer would be like
ly to analyze the preparation and if
he did he would be afraid to report
| his findings lest the prohibition
t~authorities nab him OF some tech
nicality. What scheme could be
| safer Or more promising. .
The result of some SUCH reasoning
on the part of one German manu-
facturer has resulted in 100000 cir
culars a month being poured into
the United States. Americans are
offered for a dollar a mysterious
package containing the basis for
making two and a half gallons OF
absolutely pure port, sherry. NAL
aga, Moselle. Rhine and Tokay. One
package makes any of 'em. Re
tains all qualities of the original
because it is the original" the cir
cular claims.
A dash of atmosphere regarding
old Europe and its famous vintages
is skillfully worked into the adver-
tisement to give it the lure of ro-
nance. The idea is definitely ex-
pressed that you can reconstruct
the exact continental product in
your cellar without any plant of
your W and with very little trou-
BILE.
How many suckers" have been
taken in by this too generous offer
will probably never be known. That
the business has been prospecting.
however, we do know from the
promoters w statement. When
questioned by the United States
consul al Munich he said that he
was sending out 100000 circulars
| every two weeks and that he would
| send many more if he could get the
printing done. He had a staff of
| about ten people and he contracted
with a plant to put up his formula.
The secret of the formula he refus-
| ed to divulge but he admitted that
a satisfactory percentage of people
responded to his advertising.

@. When was the Victoria Cross
first given and what for?
A. The Victoria Cross, given for
conspicuous bravery, was institute
ed in 1855 on the close of the Cri-
mean War, and was given to citizens
who had borne arms against the In
dian mutineers. In 1911 the deco
ration was extended to the Indian
Army. A bar may be awarded for
an additional act of bravery. With
the decoration is a pension for non
commissioned officers and men Of
ten pounds a year; with an addition
of five pounds for each bar. A.
@. What is a natural levee?-N
X. l..
A. A levee is an embankment
which keeps a river in its channel.
A river like the Mississippi carries
a great amount of sediment from its
swifter h-eadstreams to the lower
| ground. When its velocity is check
ed, it drops a portion of this sedi-
ment, gradually raising the bed OF
the stream above the surrounding
country. In flood time, the river
overf1ows its banks depositing sedi-
ment along the land side of the
banks. This creates along alluvial
ridge which is called a natural
levee.

REARRANGING THE SEWERS

1t is to be hoped that in arranging for the reconstruction of
the sewers made necessary by the elimination of the grade cross
ings, plans will be drawn for the future development of the city,
including the establishment of a disposal plant. Rather than have
the work to do all over again at an enormous expense to the tax
payers it would be we'll to have all this arranged for now.
1t is known that the experts engaged by the City Plan Com
mission have been working along this line during the past year
and before anything definite is done it is to be hoped that this
matter will receive serious consideration. Sooner or later Perth
Amboy will be compelled to treat its sewage before it is allowed
to go into the bay. The proper location for the plant to do the
treating an dthe lines leading thereto is a municipal problem OF
the first importance. Now is the time to consider these things
