about diseased conditions and what
to do about them, most of them are
robbed of their terror and countless

element.
Cancer is, at the start, local d.

removal can permanently cure If not
too far advanced. The cardinal point
is, that any swelling in any port of
the body, whatsoever, should be seen
by the family physician and viewed
from the surgical standpoint.
Woven Susceptible
1t is the wife and mother who is
more subject to cancer than men. She
base more organs particularly liable
to malignant growth especially the
breast and the uterus. And woman
is more patient and willing to suffer
in silence what man Is unwilling to
bear. Moreover she is victim of
that psychology, so difficult to under
stand, which fears to make known
her condition lest it be pronounced
cancer.
Too often the absence Of pain lulls
to the belief that there can be moth
ing serious; whereas, this very alb
sence Of pain in an evident growth
should arouse suspicion and drive her
to the doctor. Every lump or swell
ling should receive immediate medi-
cal attention. Apparent good health
is no guarantee that cancer is not
present.
Any irregularity at'the change Of
life" should be reported to the doc
tor. Especially if, after menstrual

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Regard tumor

tumors are not cancers. Each is a

special kind of growth.
Minor swellings of the skin, such
as assesses "pimples" Of young
people, boils, carbuncles, swollen
glands, and other conditions, are in
fections from without, and due to
germs gaining contact with the skin
and being rubbed in by the clothing,
especially the tight collar.
In enlarged glands of the neck
germs gain entrance through the
nose and throat. They are harbored
chiefly by diseased teeth, tonsils, and
adenoids. Treat these properly and
glandular swelling subsidies.
Is Chronic
If the germs are tubercular, abcess
formation Is tardy and tends to be
chronic but chronic does not mean
Msurable, simply slow. Local tuber-

Not True Situation.
1t is popularity believed that the
constant urge to put in more and
more traps and to add to the diff
Guilty of play on a course, comes from
the club professional and a few low
handicap players. This / am con-
vinced is quite the reverse of the real
situation. In the first place, while
the professional may feel that certain
alterations would improve the course
as test for good play, his recon-
mendations are rarely followed, unless
they happen to be indorsed by influen-
tial members of the club. Then again.
the low-handicap players in most
clubs are generally the young players,
who have little to say in directing the
policy Of the club.
l am convinced that in nine times
out of ten, where u club decides to
stiffen the course. the decision is
reached because of the fact that Ger.
tain members, who practically direct
the clubs affairs. have reached the
conclusion that in comparison to
other courses that they know. their
own is rather a shabby affair, and
they want to keep up with the process
sion. 1t really is a case of pride, and
more often then not the question of
whether the course is already hard
enough for the majority of the men,
bers never really enters into consid.
Grafton at all.
