A. nip of Something strong be-
fore a meal is not one Of the habits
helpful to growing old successfully
because, taken at such q time, 1t is
an incentive to overeating which is a
national sim" declared DR.. II. H
Drysdale. of Cleveland, in an address.
DR.. Drysdale's subject was how a
man at the apex of his achievements
may avoid the penalty OF years OF
high pressure living and escape such
ailments as apoplexy. Playing golf
was among those having a place in
the scheme of old age hygiene.
Alcohol Brings OvereatinE.
The 'frenzied finance habit, which
will not allow a patient to relax and
forget his responsibilities when neces-
sary can be blamed for many serious
illnesses and fatalities" said the doc
tor. The national sin of overeating
and especially of meat, is one of the
heavy burdens an elderly man asks
his body to bear. Alcohol, taken be-
fore meals is one of the causes of
overeating. The advent of prohibi-
ton. with the attendant disappear
ance OF the chronic alcoholic, will do
much to lower the death rate from
arteriosce lerosiS.
Make no compromises with such
patients, or you will fail in your mis-
sion, which constitutes an appeal to
their reason for sane and rational
mode of living"

CANCER DEATHS RISE.

NEW YORK, June 1e-Mortalit,
from cancer continued to increase a,
an alarming rate during 1923, and the
number of annual deaths from the dis.
ease in the continental United States
probably now is about 10000, as com.
pared with $4,000 ten year ago. ac-
cording to an article by Frederick La
Hoffman, consulting statistician OF
the Prudential Insurance Company
published yesterday in the insurance
journal, the Spectator.
The cancer death rate in twenty
three cities with an aggregate popu-
lation of 20,S39.737 reached the high
figure of 1855 per 100000 last year
Mr.. Hoffman's computation showed
Springfield Ill, had the highest
death rate from the malady, 1894 pei
100000, the article said. The lowest
rate was that of Norfolk, Va. which
reported $40 per 100000. Washing
ton had 101.S: Baltimore. 1898: New
burgh, 9l.4; Richmond, Va. 843.
The rising cancer death rate re-
fleets Ignorance of the known facts
as to means of controlling the dis.
ease said Mr.. Hoffman.
1t is unfortunately the bitter
truth" he added, that there prevails
throughout the country vast
amount of malpractice which, in the
name of cancer cures and cancer
treatments. deludes the unsuspectins 6

Mrs. william Lincoln Brown, a di-

fore the board for the purpose of ar
ranging cooperative methods be-
tween the two organizations for car
ing for unaccompanied women and
children while they are in Washing
ton. Both organizations have room
registry divisions and great care is
exercised in recommending these
rooms to strangers. Mrs. Brown took
up with the Trevelers' Aid the neces-
sity of providing practical method
by which young women who are
stranded may be taken care of and
cial workers have found that the only
places they can send such young
women. who are without money and
in a strange city are to two or three
hotels whose proprietors always re-
spond TO calls for help. While this
means of relief is welcome, still. in
the opinion of social workers, there
should be some definite home or in

would be specifically opened for the
handling of such cases.
