THE CANCER DISCOVERY"

Physicians In New Britain have been greatly interested in the stories from Berlin, carried In the Herald this week, relative to the purportcd discovery of the cancer microbo by Dr. Josef Schumacher, German biologist. If this really has been done 1t will mean more 10 the human race than any medi- cal discovery of modern times and would indicate that medical science is conquering the last bulwark of disease.
 But all this has yet to be proven. The biologist. we hope, has not made statements he cannot prove; judging entirely from the tenor of the published reports, the discovery at this writing looks reasonable when analysed.
 Dr. Schumacher says the mi crobo is perfectly transparent and therefore cannot be seen with ordinary means and that this &C., counts for failure to detect it here tofore. It appears that the biologist hit upon tho plan of using a cer- tain dye in q solution, which stanla the microbc and makes it visible. This method. if true, seems simple enough; so simple, in fact, that one wonders the plan was not thought Of before.
 The bacillus. according 10 the discovery" not only exists in enormous quantities in infected tissue but is also found In the veins and arteries Of infected per- sons. So far as we know, this is not in accordance with previously ao- ceptel belief,
 However, if the biologist cnn maintain his position under the prying eyes of medical scientists his discovery will be regarded as a marvellous move forward in the art of healing. Tho complaint all along has been that if the cancer bacillus could be discovered and studied the result probably would mean q speedy method of counteracting it, The biologist now comes forward with tho first definite claim of hav- ing isolated he germ, We hope it is no false alarm.

LESS TAX FRYING
Rcquiescat in pace.

IL has generally gone mnoticod that one Of the now features of the federal tax bill Is that employers will find 1t unnecessary 10 report the salaries paid their employees unless the sum paid is in excess of $I,5oo year for single persons and $500 year for married per sons. In the past the computing of salary lists caused an enormous amount Of work for the internal rev cnuo department and yet was entirely unnecessary. Employers from the first could have been trusted 10 report only those coming within the income tax law, But part of the governmental function seems to have been to supply as much work as possible for its per sonnrl, with the result that some of the work might not have been done 100 per cent effectively.

 And 1t matters Nttle if death in horrible form hov,rs. The mother at Central Bridge N. r., virtually threw herself into that roaring fur mace which once had been her home in last desperate effort to save her perishing offspring. Two men, her husband and another, were unable to prevent her.
 Before such herosm all heads must bow homage The world knows nothing finer, greater or as noble as the love of motherhood.
