CANCER

Editors Consumption, Tuber-
culosis, the Great White Plague, is being
conquered. In ten years the death rate
has been almost cut in two. This did not
merely happen, it is the result of telling
people everywhere about the disease, its
cause, its cure and how it may be pre-
vented. What is being done against tu-
berculosis we believe can be done against
other diseases. We have, therefore, asked
DR.. p. e. insolvency, of the Medical Col
lege of the University of Vermont, to
write for the Modern Health CRUSADER
a plain statement about cancer. We urge
| all the Crusaders to ask their parents and
older friends to read this article 1t may
save some lives from this terrible disease.
During the week of November 12-18
medical men and laymen throughout the
length and breadth of the land spread
the hopeful message that Cancer is
durable if treated in time" What this
means to us in Vermont is indeed apparent
ours the cancer death rate per thousand is
the third highest in the United States.
Although many theories have been ad-
vanced as to the origin of cancer, it's cause
still remains a mystery. However, we do
hllOW Ulldu CdlCtI 10 IlOU IL QlScdSC VI HUI,
that it is not contagious and that it is
more common in women than men after
the age of thirty-hve
Note the following conditions and re-
member that early discovery of cancer
means cure while late diagnosis inevita-
bly, results in DEATH
1. Every person with a sore about
the face, including the lips, tongue
and cheek, which persists beyond four
weeks should be suspicious of cancer.
,. Every woman with a bunch in
the breast which does not disappear in
four weeks should be suspicious of
cancer.
3. Every woman who has a bloody
discharge between periods should be
suspicious of cancer.
4. Every person who has a con-
slant show of blood either at the time
when the bowels move or afterward
should be suspicious Of cancer.
Because of the fact that cancer in the
early stages is not disease of the entire
body but is local condition three methods
of treatment are available. They are
Surgery, X-ray and Radium According
to the individual case they are used alone
or in combination. Radium cures more
cases of cancer of the mouth, cheek and
tongue than any other treatment yet
known.
Just word as to the patent medicine
"cures." There is no such thing Salves
or pastes applied externally or drugs or
medicines taken internally have abso-
lutely no effect on the cancerous growth
On the contrary, during the time while
they were being used the growth has en-
larged and has spread to surrounding
This lessons the hope that the
physician or surgeon may hold out to the
patient for a cure.

public affairs. Gov. Proctor has
executive ability, common sense
and a due regard to the demands Of
the time along safe progressive
lines. Our Congressional delega-

SO much that she lost her place in
Congress as that her home town
voted against her. She has not
been a close student of the trend of
life If she hasn't learned to expect
the least of her home town. Since
the dawn of the Christian era, and
probably before it, a prophet in his
own country has been discounted.
So have the would-be prophets and
most of the rest of us. The home

ROSES OR THISTLES?

10 YOU pause sometimes while
II journeying through the fields and
along the byways of life, to consider
whether you are gathering roses or
tkistles? The basket which you are
unconsciously carrying is being filled
with one or the other, which you will
find when you arrive in the gloom of
the gathering night and realize that
your wanderings are done.
If when you stop to rest you have
velvety roses to look upon. you will in
your delight quite forget the purpling
sky and all that it foretells.
You will be happy in the thought
that you have not misspent your day ;
glad that you chose the beautiful in
stead of the repulsive; grateful that
you did not misdirect your energies.
There is probably scant attention
bestowed by you and me to the basket
upon our arm into which we are plac-
ing every hour Of life something
which will rise up to praise or con-
denim us. Our heads are silvered and
our feet are tired and unsteady.
But on this occasion we cannot re-
trace our steps.
Shadows are all about US and the
half-hidden paths we once knew so
well, are unfamiliar.
We are alone with the things we
have garnered.
We would like to recall sharp words,
scowls and frowns we have hurled at
our friends, our patient fathers and
mothers-and sadly recall hot tempers
and terrible tongues.
As the scales fall from our eyes
there Is something Of the nature OF
dismay that takes hold of us and fills
our soul with tears.
Oh, that we might be permitted to
i've over again those wild. impetuous
days Of youth!
We would curb our spirit. hide oul

GREAT
INDIANS
WASHAKIE, GRAND OLD MAN"
OF THE SHOSHONES
Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

DECAUSE WASHAkIE ("Shoots
- Running") had always been
friend of the whites, President Grant
sent him a fine saddle and silver
mounted bride as token OF one
great warriors esteem for another
"What have you to say to the White
Father for such a beautiful gift?
asked the post trader in presenting 1t
to the Shoshone chief. The chief
was silent for moment and then In
q voice shaken with emotion he SAID:
"When the white man gives thanks,
he has plenty tongue but no heart;
when Washable gives thanks ne mas
plenty heart but no tongue. The
heart has no tongue"
Washakie was born In the beautiful
Wind river country in Wyoming
about ten years before Lewis and
Clark visited the Shoshone. He be-
came noted for his friendship for the
whites and his deeds as a warrior
against enemy tribes. Once In MS Ola
age some of the younger warriors
began talking of depOsing him.
Washakie disappeared from camp
and two months later on the night the
council was to meet to take action on
the chieftainship, he suddenly ap-
peared with six scalps OF their tr1Dai
enemies, the Blackfeet. Throwing
them at the feet Of his warriors, the
chief exclaimed: LET him who can
count as many scalps talk OF being
chief" There was no more talk OF
deposing him..
At another time Washakies son,
smarting under the WRONGS OF a DIS
honest trader, led a war party TO
avenge himself on innocent settlers.
Washakie, mindful of his promise al
ways to live at peace with the white
men. sent this message to his son
"Unless you and your young men are
back on the reservation by sunrise,
YOU will never return" The war party
kent on. Washakie gathered his
warriors and pursued. Not one mem
her of that war party ever returned
During the war with the Sioux in
1875, although Washakie was then
more than seventy years old. he LED
his warriors to aid General Crook al
scouts. In battles the old chief was
always in the thick of the fighting-
Washakie died February 81, 2OO
and was buried with full military hon
ors in the cemetery at Fort Washa
kie, Wyo. He gave warrior heritage
to his children and one Of his grand
sons died in the uniform OF tht
United States army during the wal
with Germany.
