The same business act may hurt others grievously, or it may be harm- * less, depending upon circumstances, 2 Even this does not provide sufficient elasticity for the proper conduct of modern business. Most business men want to play fair. But no man‘can tell, with certainty, what effect his acts will have upon others in the same industry, or upon society.

D. Conducted Under the Direction of the U. S. Public Health Service : = ° CANCER IS INCREASING, The number of deaths from cancer is increasing, the recorded death rate showing an increase of about 2 1-2 per cent each year. Some of this is prob- ably due to better diagnosis and im- proved methods of gathering vital sta- tistics, but most of it is due to the fact that more people now reach the age at which cancer is most preval- ent. It is important that everyone should know something about this great scourge. Primarily cancer is curable, if it is recognized in the early stages and treated by a competent surgeon. This is not so easy as it might seem, for in the beginning cancer is usually pain- less and often very hard to detect. ‘Women should be on the lookout for lumps in the breast, even though pain- less, and unless such a lump disap- Pears quite rapidly, should consult a competent physician and have him make a thorough examination. Per- sistent abnormal discharge, bleeding, is also a symptom of cancer and should receive early attention.

Probably 60 per cent of the cancers of the rectum are efirst regarded as piles. A thorough medical examina- tion should therefore be insisted upon. Cancer is no longer regarded as a constitutional or blood disease. It is not hereditary and not contagious. It is usually caused by some form of con- stant frritation and: seldom results from a sudden injury. Above al Ithings if you believe you have a cancer consult the best -physi- cian and do not rely on “patent cures” that are supposed to work miracles. Time and time without number these have been thoroughly tested and found wanting, leaving the sufferer the worse for the experience.

They dug up the soil around and ‘between all the trees. They could not find the treasure. But their crop was greater than ever before. The olive trees bore such a harvest that each son received from their sale a sum that seemed a fortune. = al , ‘While they had worked they had learned ‘must, and they suddenly saw ,what the treasure really was. Moreover, digging up the orchard had ‘brought them more than money; it had -brought them happiness and health. They saw what a good and wise father they had and were proud to be his sons.

WATERS Washington, June 17—To end the opium traffic in India, alleged to be fostered by England, is the aim of Congressman William E, Mason, Chi- cago. He believes “the American government should make a friendly request to the British government that the latter should, for the sake of humanity and Christianity, follow the example of China in abolishing the cultivation of popy and the manu- facture and sale of opium in India and other parts of the British em- pire, except for medical purposes.” Taraknath Das, here seeking “free- dom for India,” says the people of!

THE PASSING SHOW . The seventh annual revue from the Winter Garden, New York, “The Pass- ing Show,” under the direction of the Messrs. Lee and J. J. Shubert, will be the attracticn at the Auditorium on Wednesday evening, June 23. | This extravaganza is the most bril- liant spectacular and _ bewilderingly amusing of any of the twenty-six that have been produced at the Winter Garden. To fully understand the ex- tent of this revue, all‘one need know is that it is two acts and fifteen colos- sal scenes. In the way of fun and joc- ularity, the Winter Garden’s “Passing Show” is of compounded mirth, a po- tent elexir, a revififying essence; all thé more important dramatic successes ofthe y€ar-are parodied and’ there is besides a huge conglomeration of song and dance—a gorgeous bargain in amusement. The book and lyrics of this “Passing Show” are by Harold Atteridge; the music by Sigmund Rom- berg and Jean Schwartz. The show has been staged by J. C. Huffman, and the dancing numbers arranged by Jack Mason. At each “Pass'ng Show” is a combination of travesty and extrava- ganza, it requires a very varied’ col- lection of talent. Every branch of stage art is represented in these shows. Heading the list of fun-makers are Willie and Eugene Howard. Oth- ers of importance are Roy Cummings, Wn. Philbrick, John Burke, Helen Car- rington, Leeta Corder, Emily Miles, Edward Basse, Dorsha, | Alexandra Dagmar, Dolores Suarez, Victor Boz- art, Mary Booth, Jack Hall, Frank Hall, Peggy Brown, Florence Cum- mings, Billie Shaw, and 125 of the Winter Garden's radiant girls.
