CHICAGO, Dec. 30. - Americans
consumed more butter in 1899 than
in any other year on record, statis-
tics compiled by the Chicago Mer-
camille Exchange showed today.
Liberal distribution of butter by

unusually big proportion of the 1899
new record production.
Consumption the first nine months
amounted to 1880, 900 900 pounds, an
increase of II per cent, compared
with the corresponding 1888 period.
Butter given away by the Govern
ment as a price sterilization and
relief measure accounted for a
major part of the increase. Move
ment of butter through regular
trade channels, however. was 5 per
cent above the 1898 11gure.

ANNUAL PHYSICAL
 CHECKUP ADVISED
State Health Department Features Dr. Larkin's
 Views on Cancer

If all men and women over 35 years of age would submit them selves to annual physical examina- ations by physicians approximately 600 people could be saved each year in Connecticut from death by can- cer, asserted Charles l.. Larkin, M. D., chairman, Tumor Committee, State Medical society, in the monthly bulletin of the State De- partment of Health. The chances of curing early cases of this dis ease are infinitely greater, he said, than when the patient waits for symptoms to appear. To properly diagnose and treat cancer 20 tumor clinics have been established throughout the state which are organized to handle all cancer cases referred to them by local physi- clans.
 It is erroneous for people to be- lieve that If they go to their physician some weeks or months after noticing an abnormal dis charge or lump they will be going in plenty of time. The time to see the doctor is prior to the appear ance of these signs, Dr. Larkin emphasized. Such signs are dan- ger signals and demand immediate action and proper treatment. Few people in this day and age would die of cancer of the skin, lip, mouth or uterus If they would see their doctors at least once @ year and have any predisposing precancer- ous lesions eliminated before they turn into cancer. Cancers in these localities cause about 15 per cent of all deaths among cancer patients in this state every year.
 Cancer is not the problem of one individual, according to Dr. Larkin, but to be handled properly 1t re- quires the scientific attention of many individuals. It must be seen by surgeons, medical men and ra- biologists who know the intimate nature of the disease and what is the best treatment for each par ticular type of cancer.
 The tumor committee of the State Medical society and the Divi- sion of Cancer Research of the State Department of Health are working together with various sub- committees made up of the lead- ing surgeons and medical men throughout the state in trying to materially lessen the cancer incl dence and to prevent all unneces- sary cancer deaths.
