KEEPING WELL  |, CANCER
pR. FREDERICK R- GAxEN Editor of HEALTH"

CANCER Is the. greatest mystery - of the humany body.
 In spite of the fact that many scien- lists have devoted their lives to study of this scourge of humanity. we know little more about 1t than did our fore fathers.
 For hundreds of years. theories Of one sort and another have been ad. vanced, some of them reasonable and possible, others ridiculous and lmpos- Mble. For a long time. the disease wss believed to be hereditary That theory was abandoned but revived q few years since as q result of experi msnts on mice. which seemed to indi- cate that cancer could be handed down from one generation to another.
 Whatever the cause. It has thus far svaded discovery. We do know that cancer generally begins in some part sf the body whore there has been a constant and lonS-contlnued irritation. as on the lip of smoker; in the breast of a woman. where there has besn pressure or irritation from cor sets or clothing; on the tongue or h. side the cheek, where broken tooth has irritated the surface: or in any other part of the body where there has been continued irritation It may also develop from mole or wart on the skin.
 The first indication may be small Dors or ulcer. the scab or crust of which. on coming off. leaves a freshly ulcsrating surface beneath: or it may appear as small lump under the skin; or. in the case of internal cancers. such as those of the liver. stomach or intes tines. the first symptoms may be some digestive disturbance; while malig' nant disease of the uterus. bladder or rectum would probably first be lndi' cated by a bloody discharge from the organ. In the majority of cases oi cancer, pain Is not present until the diseaee has progressed to serious stage, often too late for any help.
 As far as present-day knowledge goes, there is no way of stopping cancerous growth except by removing the diseased tissue. We do know thai if the small local lump oI, sore is re moved, the probabilities are that nc more trouble will follow.
 The early symptoms of cancer are similar to those of other ailments and the layman Is not capable of de ciding what his trouble may be. Ii you have any of the symptoms de scribed. seek expert medical, advice immediately If you have cancer your only hope lies in early detection of the condition and prompt treatment

 NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Throwing the well-preserved discretion to the winds that threatened earlier in the week to topple over any enthusiastic superstruc- ture built upon the .country's well-rec- ognized healthy economic condition, the financial community echoed with the cry, Let's go!" Thursday.
 At times the market fairly boiled with buoyancy. Increasing momentum was gathered by the forward movement in the last period of trading until the final dealings were marked by the greatest bullish demonstration of the year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The impetus given the market yesterday by the large extra. Steel dividend was augmented this morning by the action of the ways and means committee in approving the 25 per cent reduction on all taxes, the same to be retroactive and to take ef- feet on the 1923 taxes. This gives new courage to the bull element and we have had a fine, strong market all day, with indications of higher prices to come. Sales, 1 1,324, ,500.-Post 6 Flagg to Shannon & Go.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 51.--Irregularity disappeared today as the anticipated re- actions failed to materialize. Almost all groups participated in the advance and the market assumed perhaps the broad est aspect in recent weeks. American Can sold ex-dividend two-quarter per cent and made 1t up during the day, the when 1t sold 10 points lower. Stude- baker declared the regular dividend and advanced about. two dollars. Consoli- dated Gas declared the regular divi- dend, and made a substantial gain. Oils were featured by a rise in Pacific Oil. which sold at a new high for 1924 in response to expectations of a raise in shS aANtuNhb idtS .to po' <hSocSaaeSo Oh also moved to new high in sympathy. Savage Arms reported earnings of be- tween s4.50 and $500 against a deficit in 1923 of $16s,l65. Sterling exchange advanced sharply under heavy demand. American Woolen recovered a little from yesterdays low.
 Dow Jones says, despite the fact that American Woolen company earned its common dividend with comfort able margin last year, profits being equal to at least 10.50 a share on the forty million common. the stock sold down to a new low on this move at 691a. In view of this comfortable margin over dividend requirements which the report will show, there is little basis for ru- mors regarding the safety of the com mon dividend, especially since wool has always kept in strong cash position. Trade in 1923 was poor and possibilities for 1924 do not appear rosy.
