 Heavy Table Charges.
 Night clubs, with cover charges averaging S1o a person and in many cases exceeding S2o. had squeezed in the last extra table days ahead and further reservations were not 10 be had at any price.
 Thcaters also had boosted their box office prices and with the addi- lion of the speculators' profit tick cts for popular Broadway shows were selling as high as $25 each.
 All Dining Rooms Engaged.
 The dining rooms of all leading hotels were booked to capacity. the McAlpin and Astor hotels each re- porting reservations for 5000 per sons for dinner and dancing.

 The ghost of an old revenue la" rose today 10 cause some misgivings about what promised to be Broad- ways most expensive and widest celebrations of q New Year.
 Under authority of this law pro- hibition agents stripped club Helen Morgan, one of the city's most popular night resorts, of it's S50,00o worth of furnishings. Owners Of other night clubs became q bit ap- prehensive about tonight's develop ments.
 Reservations at the night clubs and hotels had been exhausted days ago and it was estimated 10o,0oO persons would dine and dance the old year out and the new year in, paying at least s1,o00,oo0 for the privilege.
 Night Clubs Warned
 Coupled with the threat made by the Morgan club raid was a letter sent all night club proprietors by Administrator Maurice Campbell in which he warned that two agents would be assigned to each club. He also called attention to a recent fed eral court decision in Chicago which held that the mere furnishing of glasses, cracked ice or ginger ale, with knowledge they were to be used in consumption of liquor, was ground for paddock proceedings.

Heed the Warning Signals.

Cancer may he your fate or mine,
regardless of family history. age, pre-
vious condition of health or personal
practice of hygiene. Most cases of
cancer occur after middle age, but
many occur in the third and fourth
decades, a few in early childhood and
sometimes in youth.
ANY type of cancer-skin cancer
tepit helioma). organ cancer tcarcinoma)
or flesh cancer tsarcomal-is painless
in the early stage, and in this stage it
is strictly a local disease and does not
affect the blood or the general system
or the general health. In most cases
it is develppm, Mt upon some trouble
that has been present a considerable
time. and an insidous development,
so that it is hard for the victim to
realize frankly that there is anything
wrong. Although the disease is pres
ent. and may be positively diagnosed
by microscopic examination. the pa
tient at this st3ge lOOgs and feels as
we'll as ever. and the most careful eX-
animation elicits no other sign OF dls'
ease. y specific biological test was
introduced by Abderhalden ID years
ago. but this was found unreliable,
and today there is no more positive
test for cancer in any stage than the
opinion of the physician cOrroborated
bv microscopicaI examinat ton of bit
of the tissue.
ANY tumor, lump, cake or swelling
in the breast, especially of a woman
not nursing n child. demands an eX
animation by the family physician.
This is particularly advisable for wom
en- from 40 to so years of age.
Any newly noticed irritation about
an old mole, wart, wen, birthmark or
scar should be brought to the atten
ton Of ones physician. THESE are
rightly called precancerous LESSONS.
No one can tell precisely when cancer
begins in such q lesion. Any good
doctor may safely excise such teSlons
paineSsly and without Disagreement
and this is the best way to prevent
cancer.
In women, especially mothers of sew
tral children, any irregularity OF men
situation. unusual discharge between
periods, temperance of the flow after
the menopause (change of life) or
bleeding at unexpected moments
should warrant examination by the
physician. Such symptoms do not
spell cancer, but too often they are
the only warning signals. so that in
duty to herself and to her family the
woman is bound to have proper medl'
cal advice. 1t is a fatal mistake TO
attribute such symptoms to ones age
or to change of life, a mistake that
has cost the life of many a misguided
woman. Any white discharge tinged
at times with blood occurring between
the menstrual periods in a woman
past 80 years of age warrants suspi'
cion of cancer of the womb. AS rule
there is no pain in early cancer OF the
womb, or at most a vague sense of
fullneSs or distress.
Cancer of the stomach must be con-
sidered when man over 40 begins to
have indigestion" loss of appetite,
particularly for meat, perhaps slight
coIicky pains, loss of weight. Such a
man certainly needs a medical exami-
