A malignant tunlor or cancer is
dangerous from the earliest moment
that it appears in the body I'M

Soon new rapidly growing tumors
are forming in many places and its
impossible to hope to remove
enough to save the life Of the indi-
vidual on whom the malignant
growth is thriving.
Sometimes the growths attack
internal organs on which the exist

Words to Eat

Meanwhile. the Watsons, COTS,
Curtises, and especially the distin
guished national committeeman
from New York, Charles Dewey
Hilles, are confronted with the un-
pleasant ask of eating their efforts
or turning defeatist. In no other
phase Of life could men adopt such
an attitude as they have toward
Hoover and then support him, with
out losing everybodys confidence.
The WatsonS, COTS, Curtises and
Hilleses will do the usual thing, Of
course, giving the Republican can
didate their whole-hearted support
once he has been nominated. and
dismisSing what they have said and
done to destroy him as Of no earthly
consequence. If they can feel that
way about what they have said and
done, why should any one else feel
differently?

Science WidenS Life

1t is a curious trait of human
nature that causes us to set such
store by routine activities and that
blinds us to the significance of in
novations. AS a matter of common
sense, that liberty which we prize
and that freedom which we enjoy,
have come to be more dependent on
the instrumentalities that science
is placing at our command than on
the platforms and declarations of
politics.
Life is larger than it used to be,
not so much because of new laws
and constitutions, but because of
the comforts and facilities with
which it has been surrounded. At
the beginning laws and constitutions
which gave men the right to think
were essential, and their perpetua-
ton is essential in order to safe
guard that right, but its exercise,
rather than right itself, has become
all important.

Everyone must know, however,
that malignant growth is not a
subject for trifling.
The most common type Of cancer
is that upon the skin. If treated
early cancers Of the skin can be
halted with little difficulty.
If one delays the growth may
spread; then little is accomplished
by treating the skin growth alone.

TITO the average person a tumor
L is a cancer and a cancer is a
tumor. The physician differentiates
many types of new growths in the
body, his main classification being
into benign and malignant tumors.
A benign tumor is one that grows
in one spot oily. 1t does not trans
plant itself to other parts Of the
body. 1t is likely to grow slowly
and to be limited in growth by
certain definite factors.
When the physician makes a
diagnosis of benign tumor he knows
that the condition can be controlled
by surgical removal, or by the use
of other methods.

A Tip on Payrolls

More and more, business and industrial houses with
large pay rolls are coming to realize the advantages
Of paying by check rather than by cash.
To begin with, there is the not insignificant fact
that pay roll bandits not attracted by the pros
pect of getting batch of non-negotable paper They
want cash. and they will steer clear of the place that
does not have it. Or, if they do make visit they
get nothing Of value.
In the second place, it is pretty good thing fol
the empoye to get into the habit of visiting bank
once week to cash his check. Sooner or later he
gets the idea of sailing his check away there and
only taking part Of it away with him. Before he
realizes it he has got the habit Of saving.

In speaking Of the work, Miss Hill
in her summary says:
aThere II a unified organization
az home demonstration club women
in Cameron county as an outgrowth
of club work supported and
ed by the home demonstration coun-
Gil. Factors contributing 70 this con-
dition are:
Irregular, punctual and interest

ton council, followed by a definite
piece Of home work for the council

two long time result demonstrations
