The Menace Of Cancer

For the last few years the percentage of deaths by

anyone know a complete The medical profess

occasionally produce beneficial results but the per-

The American Society for the Control of Cancer,
at its recent sessions at Lake Mob )nk, New York,
stressed the need Of more vigorous and concerted
warfare against cancer As speaker said there.

A Literary Hoax

Literary hoaxes are rather frequent and in the

themselves from the attacks contained in its pages
and there is little evidence that the author of the

Literary censorship would be an cdious thing and
would bring sorrow to the whole writing profession
and TO large reading public. Such things as this
hoax however, being in such bad taste and being
OF such llbeous character, cannot hut harm the
whole noble profession Of writing and lend great
strength to the growing demand for a system Of
censorship.
