5,510,229 at the end of 1921, according
to a report recently issued by the com

yearly increase Of 1.27 per cent. Dur

reports add that these outlaw activ-
tiles have resulted in many bloody

MAYO EXPLAINS.
CANCER CURE !
IN STATEMENT
Says There Is No Medical
Cure For Disease But
Study Continues
SURGERY SURE CURE

Rochester, Mimi, Sept. 28.AAt q
meeting of the general staff of the
Mayo clinic, held few days ago,
DR.. w. j. Mayo referred, to recent
newspaper comment on his remarks
made with regard to the present
status of the cancer problem, quot
ing him as declaring, in substance,
that there was no cure for cancer.
In the course Of a lecture in London
in July DR.. Mayo said, There is no
medical cure for cancer" in other
words, no medicine taken internally
will cure the disease. Continuing,
he said that a great deal Of expert
mental work was in progress in all
parts of the world, all of which
gradually was adding important
knowledge concerning this serious
disease, but, unfortunately, these in
vestigations, which have been made
on animals, have not, as yet, any di-
rect application to human subjects.
DR.. Mayo, in his talk to his staff,
said that the cure of cancer depends
on diagnosis and removal at the
earliest possible time. Ip some man.
ner, the laity must be taught to
understand these truths. Experience
in the Mayo clinic has been that
71.8 per cent of patients operated
on for cancer when the disease is
STILL localized, that is, has not ex-
tended beyond the primary focus,
are cured by operation, and the large
majority of the remainder greatly
benefited, and many have been cured
even when the disease had extended
beyond the primary focus. "
Surgical operation is the only
method of removal to be seriously
considered, DR.. Mayo continued, be-
cause it permits removal, with the
growth, Of surrounding tissues and

method which experience would show
to be the best method suited to the
individual patient.
DR.. Mayo now permits these state
ments to be made public in the hope
of correcting an unfortunate inn
preston which has been spread by
many newspapers in this country.
Since his return from Great Britain
he has had an enormous number of
letters from persons suffering from
cancer, the letters containing clip
pings from newspapers in all parts
of the United States purporting to
quote him as saying, "There is no
cure for cancer" without reference
to his basic statement that surgical
removal does cure the disease. What
DR.. Mayo actually said was, "There
is no medical cure for cancer"

Bedding, his face purple.
"Shore | mean to tell you just that
there" replied the ranger. "Pll ride
your Blanco Devil as he never was rid
before, 'cept once when a d-n sight
better hossman than I am couldn't
make him outrun Sol"
without more words the men sad
died and were off. The interminable
time that followed contained for Gale
about as much suspense as he could
well bear. What ~astonished him and
helped him greatly to fight off actual
distress was the endurance of Nelrs
mother.
Early on the morning of the second
day, Gale saw three white horses and
a bay come YEARLY stepping down the
road. He heard Blanco SoFs familiar
whistle, and he leaped up wild with
joy. The horse was rlderless. Gales
sudden joy received a violent check,
then resurged when he saw a limp
form In Jim Lash's arms. Ladd was
supporting a horseman who wore q
military uniform.
Gale shouted with joy and ran into
the house to tell the good news. 1t
was the ever-thoughtful Mrs. Bedding
who prevented him from rushing to
tell Mercedes.
Lash handed down a ragged, travel
stained, wan girl into Belongs arms,
dad! Mamma y
1t was indeed a repentant Nell, but
there was spirit yet in the tired blue
eyes. Then she caught sight of Gale
and gave him a faint smile.
"Hello-Dick.'

held it tightly, and found speech diff.

he said. please forgive me. I'll take
myself off,"
He wandered away, and when 1t
became impossible for him to stay
away any longer he returned to the
patio.
The instant his glance rested upon
Nelr's face he OWNED she was feign-
ing sleep. Dick dropped upon his
knees and bent over her. He wanted
more than anything he had ever want
ed in his life to see if she would keep
up that p~retense of sleep and let him
kiss her. She must have felt his
breath, for her hair waved off her
brow. Her cheeks were now white.
Her breast swelled and sank. He
bent down closer-closer. But he
must have been ~maddeningly slow, for
as he bent still closer Nell's eyes
opened, and he caught a swift purple
gaze of eyes as she whirled her head.
Then, with a little cry, she rose and
fled.

was leaving his room, he saw the
Yaqui running up the path from the
fields. Gale wondered what was the
matter. Yaqui ran straight to Bel
ding, who was at work at his bench
under the wagon shed. In less than
a moment Bedding was believing for
his rangers. Gale got to him first,
but Ladd and Lash were not far be-
hind.
"Blanco Sol gone!" yelled Bedding,
In a rage.
Raiders !" exclaimed Jim Lash.
Lord only knows. Yaqui says 1t
wasn't raiders"
"Send Yaqui to find the boss trail,
an let's fgger," said Ladd. "Shore
this s no raider job"
In the swift search that ensued Gale
did not have anything to say; bEt his
mind was forming a conclusion. When
he found his old saddle and bride
missing from the peg in the barn his
conclusion became a positive 'Onvic-
ton, and it made him, for the moment,
cold and sick and speechless.
"Hey, Dick, don't take it so much to
heart said Bedding. "WeE likely
find Sol, and if we don't, there'I other
good horses"
I'm not thinking of SOL" replied
Gale.
Laid cast a sharp glance at Gale,
snapped his fingers, and said:

"What's wrong with you iOcoed

"Nell has started for Casita," burst
out Gale. "She has gone to fetch
