CAUSE OF CANCER AND
 A FEW PREVENTIVES

A distinguished British authority, Sir w. Arbuthnot Lane, is positive that the cause of cancer is known. A London press dispatch thus quotes his confident views:
 "Cancer is disease of civilization, and never attacks healthy organ. Wrong food and -unhygienic living lead to disaster. Poisons set up by constipation give conditions favorable to cancer. The cancer cell will grow in suitable soil, and that soil can only be provided by the prolonged ac- tion of poisonous elements upon every component tissue"
 Hope is found by this eminent au- thority in the public's improved un- derstanding of health and diet. The awakening of the British people, which he describes, is similar to that of the American public. He. notes the intense interest in Britain in this im- portant subject, shown in attendance at lectures and at articles in the news papers, and still more notably in the remarkable increase in the number of fruit and vegetable stores and the at tractive manner in which their goods are placed before the public.
 In Great Britain, as in the United States, the people are turning to whole wheat and bread of the coarser grains, "obtainable not only in the shops, but also in every large ocean liner and in most hotels and clubs,

where they were previously conspicu- ous by their absence"
 Another encouraging trend is the l.A-xeasea consumption of fruit, salads, mix, cheese and eggs; the change in the amount and character of the diet If business men and women for lunch con; the curtailment of the number of courses at big dinners; the reduction of the consumption of meats, sweets and pastry; and the steady improve ment in the diet and sanitation of pre- paratory and public schools.
 In cancer this British autority sees "a remorseless enemy which has es- tablished a firm foothold and is exact ing a mortality far in excess of that which m invading army could inflict on us in war"
 Since cancer isia disease of civiliza- tion, its causes must be sought in civ ilization's deviation from the simple life of primitive nan--the refined diet of modern times, the indoor life, faulty posture irs school, factory and office, and lack of regular exercise in the open air.
 Generally speaking, civilization eats too much, is givenetoo much to wrong diet, bfeathes too much stagnant air, and is deficient .in sthe correctness of elimination and ,oxidation.-Ex.

than a month, and everywhere the warden stopped he was received cor dially both by trappers and section men along the railroad.
 Small catches of fur have been the rule among the trappers in the sec tions visited. One trapper, who pos sessed a $50 license, had one pelt to show for his winters work, his entire catch consisting of one small weasel. Several others were equally unsuc- cessful, Carwallader learned, and very few of the trsppers seen had made ex- penses, the catch as whole ranging from 30 to 50 per cent of last season, in the districts visited.
 The scarcity of furs is, attributed by Mir. Carwallader to excessive trap ping. He does not put much stock in the other theories advanced for small catches. Disappearance of rabbits may account in measure for the situa- ton; wolves and coyotes undoubtedly have contributed to the depletion, but the warden is sure that overlapping has caused the greatest mischief, par ticularly with regard to the mink sit uation. If it were a case of migra- tion, Carwallader points out, some dis tricts would produce normal catches, but the situation this winter appears to be much Ire same in most sections of the country. The fur catch is be- low normal everywhere, and in some sections very much below.

 My generation was too shy. An Ohio farmer said to his son, a lad of my generation:
 "'Wen, Elmer, did .ye take a gal home from prayer meeting last night?'
 "sYes, sir,' said Elmer, with a blush.
 Who did ye take home, son?'

POWERFUL X-RAY TUBE $ INVENTED
Penetrates Nucleus Of Atom
 Easily, Yollrath Says

Pasadena. Cal, Dec 16 (CP)- An N-ray tube powerful enough to penetrate the nucleus of the atom and thus in time perhaps reveal i'm portant secrets to science, has been invented at the California Institute of Technology by pr. R. E, NoIlrath, it was announced today.
 The tube, which is two feet in diameter and six feet long, will ere ate an energy of five or six million volts, it is claimed.
 One Of the difficulties 10 be over come, Dr. Nollrath said is to pro vide an effective screen for the r-powerful rays. Ordinary com merci2l N-ray is stopped effectively with a lead shield. but the rays from Dr. Nollrath's tube at 1,0o0,Q00 volts passes through more than a foot ot this substance.
 T. has been found impossible to photogra the new rays because they pass entirely through existing photographic plates, leaving no image.

CHRISTMAS TREE LOSS INSIGNIFICANT
EVeg5geens Gut for Season Few
 Compared to Fire Number

Washington. Dec. 1G (tP)- Christmas trees can be enjoyed by all with q clear conscience. govern mcnt forestry officials said Saturday. American forests annually supply more than G,o00,0Qo Christmas trees but this cutting is insignificant com pared with the yearly loss from forestry fires.
 If all the Christmas trees were in a single area il would aggregate only 10000 acres, as compared with annual fire loss of 14,000,000 acres of good commercial timber" Major l.. Y. Stuart, chief of the L. s. forestry department said.
 Thinking of forests 10 obtain Christmas trees if properly done, Major Stuart explained. can be a highly beneficial operation. He said the federal government sets an example in this by cutting only trees in the national forests which should be removed.
