SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-

Among the more important find
ings SO far published is one TO
the effect that cancer attacks a
diseased rather than healthy
organ. It Is not true that it
never attacks a healthy organ,
but the less fit an organ or an
area of skin is the more apt to
be attacked. This is a very
potent reason why every one
should do all he can to keep fit.
The majority of people. it has
been said. commit suicide by
animal neglect of themselves.
There are many conditions
known as "pre-cancerous," l. e.,
which, though not yet cancerous,
tend to become so II neglected.
These are best seen upon the
tongue. A healthy tongue hardly
ever develops cancer. The tongue
which becomes cancerous Is one

Those who work in aniline dyes

over the age of 80 dies of cancer
and most Families contain more
than seven people, it is obviously
probable that any person who de-
velops cancer will ne able to find
near relative who died Of it.
Various articles Of diet have
been said to cause cancer-toma-
toes, fresh meat, salt meat, etc,
but there is no evidence that any
article of food or the absence of
any part Of the dietary, has any
specific action in causing the dis
ease. 1t is frequent among Hin
dus and other races who are vege-
tartan or nearly so. 1t is true, of
course, that person whose diet
is unba lanced. deficient or exces-
sive will be less fit than a person
whose diet is normal and so will
offer less resistance to any dis
ease, but he is no more likely on
this account to get cancer than
he is to get tuberculosis.
Cancer is neither infectious nor
contagious. 1t spreads from the
spot originally infected by direct
extension. The cancer cells in
wade a lymphatic vessel and thus
are conveyed To neighhoring
glands and thence to more distant
parts.

Haze Women a Sense Of Humor3

On the other hand men, through
the very nature of their work,
were forced to view life more inn
personally and to acquire both
philosophy and humor as they did
so. IN SPITE OF WHICH FACT
SOME MEN HAVE STILL

PHILOSOPHY AS A FI4AXSEED
POULTICE. SO TAKE HEART,
SISTERS.
Generally speaking. that's why
women haven't al much sense of
humor as men. That's why they
get their feelings hurt so easily
why they stand criticism so poorly
why they are not such good
sports in competition--why they're
SO sensitive" and why. where
two or three women are gathered
together, you'll find row. I'd.
A. r. and other female aggrega-
tons, please take note.)
Women haven't as yet learned
TO see life in the large. They
haven't learned the necessity of
tolerance or compromise. They
still want to run things as
they've always been run in fami.

But give them time! Already
they're picking up new tricks.

while, but In the end it will make
better wives, mothers and voting
citizens. 1t will take women out
of that four-walI attitude. 1t will
teach them to laugh at themselves
and take things az they come.
It will make women people in
stead Of just wives and mothers.

comic plumbers, our petty poses
and pretenses.

RUM CHASERS'

PERIL YACHTS
Congress May Take Up
Probe of Coast Guard Fir
ing on Pleasure Crafts.
BY KENNETH WATSON
Times STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-A con-
gressional investigation of firing al
pleasure craft by coast guardsmer
seems likely.
Ever since spring when the Great
Lakes coast guard force was aug
lnented by dozen new cutters
complaints have been f1ltering in tc
Washington that the crews in then
zeal to stop smuggling have beer
firing on innocent pleasure boats
many containing women and chill
dren.
Now Representative w. w. Chal-
InerS, Toledo, formally has request
ed treasurer officials to investigate
the firing on two boats owned by
Carlton Baumgartner and Lloyd
Hixon, Toledo, near that city last
Monday.
Although coast guard headquar-
tiers has promised to make a thor
ough investigation of the two COM
plants, it is thought probable that
Chalmers will also insist on a con-
gressional inquiry.
Fail to Heed Signals
Because Commander M. w. Ras-
mussen, Buffalo, in charge of the
Great Lakes forces, is now here as
a member of a special board study
ing life boats, the investigation OF
the Toledo complaints will not be
commenced until his return the last
of this week.
The action of the coast guard cut
tiers in firing at boats which fail to
heed signals has the approval OF
Seymour Lowman, assistant Secre-
tary of treasury, in charge of Gov
eminent prohibition enforcement
Lownan today said that in all cases
no shots are fired until after both
flag or whistle signals have been ig-
nored
It never have found that any fir
ing has been unwarranted. In all
cases the shots have been fired only
after the boats have failed to heed
stop signals" Lowman said.
In addition to Chalmers action
in requesting thorough investi-
cation another demand for an in
vestigation has been filed with the
Treasury Department by Walter S.
Hayes, also of Toledo.
Hayes claims that last week, for
the second time this year, his
launch was fired on without provo
cation by Coast Guardsmen.
Secretary Lowman said that an
investigation of both incidents re-
veaIed that Hayes had failed to
heed whistle warnings.
The new complaint, however, will
be referred to Commander Rasmus-
sen, along with those by Baum
gartner and HiXon.

NO SMALLPOX WAVE

Reports of Epidemic in Alaska
Secuted by Physicians.
NOME, Alaska, Aug. 16.-Reports
of a smallpox epidemic here have
been erroneous, coast guard physl-

today.
The physicians said about twenty
eskimos had been stricken with
chickenpox, but the cases were not
serious.
Reports of an epidemic caused
