numbers is growing. according to
Meyer Davis.
while the demand for waltzes ana
tangos is growing everywhere, SAID
Mr.. Davis. 1--WE find that it is espe-
cially pronounced at Palm Beach. We
have orchestras at lie Touquet, the
Everglades Club and Whitehall and
in each case we find that it is best to
scatter waltz and tango numbers
pretty literally through the program.
This is a tremendous change from
few years ago when waltzes were
hardly ever played more than once an
evening and then often because of
the request of single patron, while
the tango was regarded as only prac-
teal for exhibition dancers"
This new trend, according to Mr..
Davis, is resulting in a growing ten
dency to limit dance orchestras to
string ensembles. with a few saxo-
phones added to high light the effects.
The use of brasses would mar the
lightly swinging harmonies needed in
waltz or tango orchestrations, it was
explained.

EARLY TREATMENT
MUST Be ACCORDED
This Is Only Way Cancer Can
Be Cured, Doctor Says

Chicago, Feb. rs (UP)-Cancer
IS the cause of one out of every ten
deaths over the age of twenty. 1t
most frequently between the ages of
forty and sixty.
Through the leadership of the
medical profession, together with
the individual and united efforts of
the public in the fight against the
infectious diseases such as measles,
scarelt fever, whooping cough, diph-
liberia, typhoid fever, and tubercu-
losis, the deaths from these causes
have been reduced about so per cent
during the past 20 years. This has
given an average prolongation of
life. but has carried more people
into the cancer age. This must,
therefore. be at least one cause for
the increase of nearly fifty per cent
in cancer deaths during the same
twenty years.
The exact cause Of cancer is not
known, but we do know that cancer
does not begin in healthy tissue, and
that, If the tissues are kept in a
healthy condition, cancer will not be
likely to develop. Toward this end
all warts, moles Especially if under
going change), chronic sores. and
recurring crusts should be removed
or properly treated.
In the mouth, white patches or
any sore or ulcer on the lip, tongue
cheek, or throat that does not begin
to heal within two weeks should re-
ceive skilful medical treatment. Any
tumor may be cancer, or may
change into cancer.
Indigestion which Scurs frequent
ly should be carefully investigated
and properly treated. Any unnat-
ural discharge from the body should
arouse suspicion and should be
definitely proven not to be due to
cancer. Cancer does not indicate
any blood faint, involves no dis
grace, is not contagious, and is not
painful at the beginning.
No serum or medicine has been
found that will cure cancer, but
that applies also to tuberculosis, and
yet through watchful care, tubercu-
losis can be prevented and, if prop
erly treated at the beginning, can be
cured Likewise, if cancer is recog-
nized and treated at the beginning
while 1t is still a local disease, 1t
can be cured in the great majority
of cases.
One may compare cancer to a
fire. A fire can easily be put out.
even by a pitcher of water. if 1t Is
recognized and treated properly at
the beginning. But the more the
fire has spread the more difficult
it is to fight and the more damage
will be done. Depending uI,n the
nature of things, the fire or the
cancer may develop very slowly and
the fight may be successful, al
though begun very late, or it may,
develop very rapidly and delay may
lose the fight.
To prevent a fire, the fire under
writer's inspect the building and
have the conditions removed which
lead to fire. To fight cancer, have
the body inspected SO as to remove
the conditions which precede cancer
or, if this has not been done, have
the cancer treated skilfully and
thoroughly from the beginning.
