FREQUENT FORMS OF CANCER
By a Christmas Seal Doctor


Cancer of the breast is one of the
common forms of cancer and it may
occur in men and women, though of
course more frequently in women over
the age of forty. 1t is somewhat less
common in women who have nursed
their babies than in women who have
had no children. Many women have
lost their lives from cancer OF this
structure, but there is reason to think
that, with the spreading of the knowl-
edge there are ways the development
Of cancer of the breast can be avoided.
Any lump in this organ, any abnormal
discharge, any sore should be investi-
gated at once by the physician and
treated.
Common as this form of cancer is,
however, cancer of the uterus (womb)
is more common and is particularly the
menace of women in the late child
bearing period and during the memo
pause.
AS any cancerous development IS
favored by injury, and as it takes place
readily III old scars, it is not difficult
to see why women who have borne
children, and who have suffered from
laceration and who have old ragged
scars resulting from the not infrequent
tearing of the mouth Of the uterus dur
ing delivery, have more cancer Of this
organ than those who have not been
subjected to these dangers.
Cancer of the uterus often exists be-
fore the patient is aware Of any symp-
toms of any unusual condition. That is
unfortunate and is the cause of this
emphatic warning: After childbirth
there should be careful examination
and any injury to the tissue should be
repaired; a woman who has had chill
dren should insist upon yearly ex-
animation especially as she nears the

START BIG SUITS ON WoMAN'S
ESTATE
preston News Service)


Henderson, ~ O., Sept IAN ag-
gregate sum of more than $4,000 is
sought by Vance County and the City
of Henderson from the estate of the
late Melissa Townes, in suits brought
separately by the city and county in
Vance County superior court last
week for the recovery Of taxes, for
FIXTURES and penalties which it is al
legged have not been paid. The estate
of the woman was said to be worth
around $4,000, more than $4,000 Of
which was in cash on deposit in the
Mechanics and Farmers Bank, Ne
gro bank in Durham.
The county is seeking $2,634.83 in
alleged unpaid taxes which it claims
have not been paid, and in addition to
that sum is asking for $l4,210 in for
FIXTURES on property that was not listed.
The city's suit is for slightly less than
that on account of the difference in the
tax rate, which was less for the city
than the county.
1t is claimed that the woman had ex-
tensive property in this city which she
did not list for taxation over a period
of six years, and that the money on
deposit in the Durham bank was never
listed for taxation.
The cases have both been docketed
in superior court, and, if reached will
be tried at the October term, which is
to be presided over by Judge Thomas
H. Calvert, of Raleigh.

PITTSBURGH SINGER GOING
ABROAD FOR TWO YEARS
VOICE CULTURE
preston News Service)

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 17.-RaIph E.
Banks, brother of Miss Ruth Banks
the accomplished pianist, has received
considerable praise from local white
musical critics through the white press.
Burt McMurtie, writing in the Pitts
burgh Press, calls Banks "Pittsburgh's
Hayes" McMurtie says in part:
The heading Pittsburgh's Hayes is
bit mawkish, and yet in speaking Of
Ralph E. Banks, Negro tenor, one i'm
mediately associates his position in the
musical field with that of Hayes who
has risen to position of eminence in
the concert field during the last three
years"
Banks is young singer, a former
pupil Of McClurg Miller, under whom
he learned the first essentials of good
singing. Following his work with
Miller he went to New York, where
ne studied with Charles Tamme. He
possesses tenor voice Of rich, warm
quality, a tone that is at once lovely
and entirely masculine There is i'm
agination in his reading and color to
his singing.
The singer leaves this fall for Italy
where he will spend the next two years
IN study. One feels that Banks will do
much to increase the respect that
Hayes has already raised to such a
high degree toward the seriousness Of
the Negro voice"

menopause; any woman approaching
or undergoing the change of life"
should seek the watchfulness and
counsel of her physician. 1t goes
without saying that any abnormal con-
dition, any discharge should call for
investigation.
Cancer attacks the intestine and
stomach, as we'll as other organs. The
first symptom OF this malignant dis
ease is not always that good warning
which nature has provided for SO many
conditions, pain, but generally is; and
then it ranges from discomfort or mild
indigestion" to severe suffering.
Since cancer most frequently attacks
those near and past forty, it is wise
for everyone at that time of life to
seek advice when any abnormal symp-
tom arises in connection with any of
his organs.
Remember that the earlier the treat
ment the less the danger of any abb
normality developing into cancer, and
the less the danger Of fatal outcome in
beginning cancers. Until the research
workers give the world something
really definite in regard to the preven-
ton and cure of this disease, the only
safe. attitude Of mind is that which
keeps a person alert to possibilities
and prompt action.
