Fewer Cancer
Patients in South
Die, Surveys Shows
Incidence of Deaths
To Number Of Cuses
Is Greater in North

A strange variation in type and
mortality of cancer between the
South and the North was reported
to the annual conference of State
and territorial health officers meet
ing here last night by DR.. Leonard
A. Scheele of the United States
Public Health Service.
Latest statistics gathered by the
Government, he said. show that
there Is an incidence of ST. cases ct
this dread malady per death in the
South. whereas in the North there
are only three cases per death.
Approximately 38 per cent of all
cases reported from the South, he
said. are skin cancers, which can be
treated successfully if caught in
time, while these accounted for only
II per cent in the North. Only
per cent from the South were ma
lignant groWths of the gastro-ln-
testinal tract, very difficult to treat
compared with 36 per cent in the
Northern States. The difference is
not racial, he pointed out, because
skin cancer was approximately four
time more prevalent among whites
than colored in the South.
Prevention Clue Seen.
The reason for this geographical
difference is unknown at present
DR.. Scheele said, and If it can be
found it may afford an important
clue for the prevention of cancer.
There is now reason to believe
that the cancer rate in the United
States is increasing, regardless OF
the increasing average age of the
population. he pointed out. Normally
it would be expected to increase
without any other factor being in
volved, as more persons live to
middle age. This has often been con-
sidered the entire cause of the
statistical increase in the past.
1t has increased in recent years
out Of proportion to the growth OF
the population, he pointed out. In
1880 the death rate was 68.3l per
100000. 1t now has risen to above
l20 per 100000. A total of 1l5,0OO
persons died from it in 1880. In 1897

from 10th place among the causes
Of death in 1900 to second In 1898.
Unless 1t can be checked one person
out Of every eight who reaches the
age Of IS will die Of it.

seems to be especially in cancer Of
the lung.
Up to the present, he said, there
has been accurate data only on the
number Of cancer deaths. with little
reliable information on the number
Of living cancer cases. The disease
is not reportable to public health
officers.
The most conservative estimate is.
he said, that more than half a mil
lion had cancer in 1898. Nearly a
million cases can be expected in 1860.

in the shipment may result in the
loss of more than one animal. Horns
should be removed from market
cattle, and any unruly animal should
be secured by tying or by conflnmg
in pen. A partition should be
placed in a partially loaded cattle
car to prevent animals from beng
thrown about in transit.
Animals which get plenty OF
minerals in their food have strong
bones and are less apt to be in
iured in transit. Heavy hogs some
times break down in shipment when
no directi injury has been suffered.
Animals should be fed and watered
sparingly before loading, and, If the
animals are to be fed in transit,
plenty of feeder space should be pro-
vided to prevent crowding.
Sharp sticks used to prod or
clubs to thump livestock will leave
bruises that decrease the value of
the ccarcass. Lifting sheep by its
wool also leaves a mark on the
flesh which is noted in the buyers
list of deductions.
Livestock shippers who believe
they beat the game if the animals
arrive at the terminal market alive
and are sold on foot before carcass
bruises are detected are only fool
ing themselves. Buyers allow for a
certain amount of losses and the
marketing of injured livestock re.
suits only in both perfect and in
jured livestock selling at the adjust
ed price.

Careless Shipping
May Ruin livestock

No matter how much animals have
been pampered in getting them
ready for market, a trifiing amount
of neglect in loading or shipping
them may decrease their value con-
siderably below current market
prices, according to G. F. Henning,
rural economics department, Ohio
State University.
Mr.. Henning says that Ohio has
been a leading state in the cam
paign to prevent the loss or injury
of livestock in shipment but he de-
clares Ohio farmers still have big
shipping losses every year. 1t has
been proved by the experience of one
Ohio trucker that shipping losses can
be prevented because he transported
thousands of animals one year with
out injuring one.
The first principle of moving ami
mails safely to market is to get them
loaded in the car or truck without
exciting them or causing them to be-
come overheated. That may seem
like big order to the farmer who
must move livestock in hot weather
but it appears certain that calm
drovers can load unexcited animals,
The car or truck must be inspect
ed to detect nails, protruding splint-
ers, or other objects which will cause
injury when animals are forced
against them. Bedding on the floor
will decrease the chances of animals
slipping, sand can be used in warm
weather except for sheep.

Present statistics on hogs indi-
cate the production of 83,000,000
head in 1889. When the average
yearly production was more than
80,000,000 head in 1898, the aver
age Chicago market price was 81 a
hundredweight. Present industrial
and economic conditions should pre-
vent recurrence of those low prices.
