HOW TO KEEP WELL,
$By

Time Is the ruling factor in every
case of cancer, the Public Health Educa-
ton Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association declared in bulle-
tin issued today.
Generally speaking, it is time rather
than treatment or any OF the other
factors that may enter into the situa-
tion, that really renders the decision
ON the outcome of the disease.
Figures recently prepared by the
American Society for the control OF
cancer are cited in the bulletin to show
the tremendously important part played
by time in controlling the disease.
According to the figures, 70 per cent
Of the patients operated for breast
cancer at an early stage are still alive
and well five years after the operation
was performed. Among patients oper-
ated ON in a far advanced stage of the
disease, So per cent die before the

five-year period is up.
Thus, with the nature OF the disease
the same in each case and the treat
ment the same, the stage of the disease
makes all the difference between sue
cess and failure.
In some forms of cancer the chance
for a favorable outcome decreases with
each weeks delay in treatment, it is
pointed out Every case of cancer
should therefore be regarded as an
emergency. Until the disease is recog-
nized and properly treated, the pros
pect for the patient himself is un-
queStionably bad.

Glacial Epoch or Ice Age

The term glacial epoch or ice age
is used by biologists for the earlier
part of the Quarternary period in the
formation of the earth. The period is
marked by the scoring of the rocks by
moving glaciers, which came well down
over this country and Europe, and the
carrying of great piles of drift by the
glaciers. The time when all this oc-
CURED is uncertain, being before the
dawn of history.

''Noblesse Qblige"

One definition of the French phrase
"noblesse oblige" is that whoever
calls himself noble should conduct him
self nobly." According to one author
ity. the phrase was suggested by the
duke of Lewis in 1903, apropos of the
establishment of the nobility Of the
French empire, as the best maxim for
both the old regime and the new. The
idea itself is at least as old as the
Greek poet Euripides. who stated "The
nobly born must nobly naet his fate"

Home of Newfoundland Dog.

The Newfoundland dog is supposed
to have originated in the country from
which 1t took its name, but this has
been challenged many times. 1t is
most commonly believed that the breed
developed from an intermingling of the
blood of various breeds of dogs car
ried on ships which landed from time
to time along our North Atlantic coast.
But as is the case with every breed of
dogs 1t makes very little difference
from whence they came so long as they
are found acceptable to dog fanciers
or pet owners

THIS surname is derived from the
Gaelic, MacRath, which means
''the son of grace" and in all prob
ability had an ecclesiastical origin.
In both Scotland and Ireland it oc-
ours as a Christian name from the
fifth to the thirteenth centuries. AS
a surname, 1t was common in Ayr
shire and in the south of Perthshire
in the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turieS and Is still a well-known name
in many parts of Great Britain, with
various forms of Spelling-MacRae,
McRae, McCrea, McCreath. In Ireland
the name Is better known as Magrath.
The home of the Highland clan of
wild MacRaes," as they were some
times called, was In the district Of
Kintail, in the southwest of the
county Of Ross, where they are said
to have settled in the fourteenth CEN
tury, under the chieftainship of the
Barons Mackenzie of Kintail. The
first mention of the name occurs in
the year 448 A. D., when a certain
Macraith THE Wise" is recorded as
being a member of the household of
st. Patrick. Evidently the MacRaes
in Scotland came from Ireland.
The MacRaes in Scotland became
ardent churchmen. Rev. Farquhar
MacRae (1580-1662) was vicar of
Kintail for A years, and one of his
sons, Rev. John MacRae, took an ac-
tive part in the religious controversies
Of his time.
The MacRaes in America are scat
tered into almost every State and
are among the most influential citi-
zens wherever they may be.
