About Ants, Eleph-
ants and Us.

The Hindoo tells US that he gets good work from
that giant creature only so long as he IS good to IT.
Should he abuse offend it, he would lose the ee-
pbants Willingness work and he might lose his
life by mourning the elephants ire To appease the
elephant the Hndoo always feeds it before he him-
self partakes of food.
That genteness and generosity do much to gain
good work the moral lesson the scientist hands to
us as the result of these observations
But who wants to be either an elephant or an ant!
Who would want to emulate their ways interesting
and perhaps intellectual as they appear to be!
The elephant has none of the generosity for which
the scientific observer pleads. The elephant says,
Feed me first or | am likely to get mad and kick the
daylghts out of you" There is nothing in that sort
of spirit worth emuating
The ant is good to its but it every
other creature that it cannot subdue and use. There
is nothing so very big and magnanimous about that
What is more outside of the grotesque trick ele-
plants in the circus ring scientist has ever called
upon us to see or hear animal symphony, nor have
thev shown us an animal-made picture or gracefully
formed statue. Has any one ever yet seen an ele-
plant pause in rapture before a gorgeous sunset!

the research student the truth seeker, but what IS
finer he is the great appreciation. To be able to

REGARDING CANCER

Cancer is durable, but only if treat
ed in early stages and by competent
surgeons. This is the keynote of the
Cancer week campaign, now in pro-
gress, aiming to spread knowledge of
the insidious beginnings of this di-
sease and the need for prompt opera
ton when the manifestations are posi-
tive. Danger lies in the fact that, in
the absence of pain, victims permit
symptoms, such as persisting Jumps,
sores that do not heal, and other sig
mails to go unheeded so that it fire.
quently progresses to a point that
renders effective interference either
difficult or impossible.
The state board of health enumerat-
ed 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
competent surgeon or by other
treatment in the hands of reputabl2
physicians.
knowledge that cancer is not con-
stitutional 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, "shoul4 i'm
nlediately be examined by ccmpe-
tent physician. When indicated, thte
treatment should be prompt and tho
rough. A persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding, should be regard
ed with suspicion. Experience has
shown that cancer rarely results from
sudden injury Continued sources
of irritation are now regarded as the
cause of cancer.
"The keynote of cancer prevention
is insistence upon thorough physical
examination by competent physi-
clan. The doctor VINO treat a sus-
picious symptom lightly is in the
same class as the quack who pre-
scribes the cancer cure or the person
who recommends the patent nostrum.
There is no medicine which will cure
cancer, and corrosive pastes are worse
than useless. The best possible ad-
vice and scientific treatment are none
too good for those who would es-
cape 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
frcin the state board of health, Madi-
son, free upon request.
"Were every adult in Wisconsin
corversant with the most recent
knowledge concerning cancer" the
board concluded, "the steadily mount
ing death rate would be halted and
soon move in the opposite direction"
