have been Investigated by our gov
ernment and the Cancer Commis-
sion. Only surgery, radium, and X
rays have proven to be of any bene-
fit.
It is a sad picture when a cancer
patient consults you to find that he
has been the victim of several so
called cancer cures and he is now in
the advanced stage of the disease.
His chances for a cure have been
wasted either because he was igno-
rant of the dangers Of cancer or he
was deceived by the false prophet.
Radium is considered the method
of choice in treating most cases Of
cancer of the uterus. Many thou
sands of women in America owe their
health and lives to radium. In cases
where radium is applicable this
treatment can be given early with
out pain or danger. Madam Curie of
France discovered radium and when
she recently visited America our peo-
pie expressed to her little of our
appreciation. In my opinion the
tribute she would prefer far more
than even the wide use of radium,
would be for every woman to be reg
ularly examined by a competent ply
sician and thus do her part in pre-
venting cancer.

farm may have been laid recently
or they may not.
Should any patron object TO pay
ing your price, provided, OF course,
that it is not out Of reason, you
may safely offer to let them try
store eggs for a while. AS a rule,
YOUR willingness to have them make
this comparison will overcome their
objections right then and there.
Eggs produced under the conditions
outlined above are bound to be bet
ter than those purchased through
stores.
Before starting a business OF thls
kind. be sure you have sufficient
hens to make sure of having year
round supply of eggs for your year
round customers. Not to have
constant supply at all times Tor
your regular trade will hurt your
business very much.
In addition to the egg business
with it's very acceptable extra profit
feature. there are also dressed fowls
to be reckoned with. They too will
bring YOU a much higher price II
sold over your route than if mar
keted in the usual manner. Here
again, the assurance of a fresh pro-
duct makes your offering more ac-
ceptable than that of the ordinary
retailer. You will kill and dress
fowls Just before you start out to
deliver them so they are sure to be
in prime condition when delivered.
You have a very good medium for
disposing Of your extra cockerels
and Gull female stock and you do
so at a profit considerably in excess
of what you would realize by any
other means. Just how much the
increase will be depends on a num-
ber of conditions. 1 should consider
it a conservative estimate, however,
tn saw that as prices are at present,
dressed birds sold in this way should
bring you twenty-five to thirty-hve
cents more each than if sold in any
other way.
It is therefore quite easy to see
that, even though the egg route does
entail more work than simply TAX
ing the weeks collection to some
retail dealer, the extra profit IS
more than likely to be worth the ef-
fort necessary to get it.
It would be an unusual commun-
ity where plenty Of customers
could not be found. The chances are
that a little investigation will re-
veal plenty of potential customers
who will be glad to have you serve
them. You may not be able to dis
pose of your entire output on your
route at first, but by consistently
offering a better service than others
and superior product, you will
gradually build up a thriving bus1-
ness of satisfactory proportions.
