Five other diseases have heavier death tolis. The reason medical men consider cancer the dead- | liest disease is because science knows next to noth-| ing about it. Progress is slow, though Dr. Franz Kopsch, German scientist, recently has made startling dis- coveries which, he claims, prove that cancer is transmitted from a larvae of the earth, carried by angle worms. : This may prove to be a red-letter discovery, but! development toward a cure or preventive is bound, to be slow. Mean time, we must increase our vig-| ilance. Cancer is with us all the time, eating steadily into’the human race, as it eats steadily into the; individual. Dr. William T. Mayo calls it “the arch enemy of middle life and beyond.’ The week beginning October 30 is National; Cancer Week. During that week, medical science) says the public should write these four facts down in their brains with indelible pencil: “ONE: Cancer, if discovered in its very early stages, is curable. TWO: Cancer is not contagious. THREE: Cancer is not hereditary. FOUR: Cancer is nearly always due to chronic irritation. Thirty per cent of cancers are in the stomach, the result of irritation. Keep your general health good. Have a com- petent doctor examine you periodically. Danger of cancer then will be remote. t REVEALED Study the furnishing of a home and you “have the number” of the housewife. People express themselves in the furniture they buy and the homes they build, just as much as in the clothes they wear. Psychologists call it “the creating impulse” or Take a deep breath and delve into psychology with Dr. C. T. Currelly, director of the Royal On- tario Museum of Archaeology. i) i The oldest pictures in the world are in caves of the Pyrenees mountains, between. France and Spain. Carved on the walls, they represent that which the cave man wanted most—the animals he! hunted. ' Such pictures, says Currelly, gave prehistoric man a feeling of possession and mastery, in ad- vance of the actual killing. It was one of the oldest human beliefs that the picture of a thing gives one power over the thing itself. Oriental natives refuse to be photographed, or sketched. They fear that pictures would give subtle power over them. In ancient Scotland, clay images were stuck with pins, in order that the $+ original might have pains in corresponding parts . . of the body. | \ An author's real self is mirrored in the kind of stories he writes. An artist paints pictures of the things that, appeal to him most. And people, in buying pictures, select the ones that have the greatest power of satisfying their inner longings. Salesmen can profit by this bit of psychology. ; what to talk to him about. “This may never have occurred to you. But, to- night in your home, ponder the pictures on the walls. They reveal whether your “suppressed functions” are along lines of hunting, nature, ad- venture, crime or love. Currelly says there can be art in a frying pan ‘or a coffee percolator, the same as in Gainsbor- i ough’s painting. “The Blue Boy,” which ald the other day for about $663,000. “Most people think of art as pictures and saith: ; ture, but most pictures and sculpture are not art,” says Currelly. ‘When one’ sets out to make any-| thing, uses the best materials and skjll and does it sincerely, so that it exactly meets the purpose for which it is intended, that is very apt to be-a work of art.” _ A great creative influence is working alt through the universe. Men and women are the wires for : @@aveying that force. All of us are builders— creators. In creating, ‘we express our ‘Teal natures. | Poe ROR — | That is small, as numbers go in these days of ubligation of all news dispatches credited to it or | One: (fare. jat the rate of 137 pounds a year for every man, \ble of figuring it out, that is 14,569,070,000 pounds| “the unconscious expression of the inner self.” | ‘ A ‘months as in @ vi Study the pictures in a man’s office and you know/| As fh, auturon and. winter. | FLYING About 1200 aircrafts are now engaged in com- ‘mercial flying in the Unitedt States—carrying passengers and express. | | millions and billions, but it is far larger than most people have believed.

The United States is Japan’s best customer: Warring with us would be like a store-keeper shooting his largest buyer. That is the most im- portant angle of our relations with Tokio.

Sensible! Anything that keeps competition among countries from becoming bitter warfare is a direct step toward elimination of military war- The next big war, if it comes, will grow out of business conditions. Business men, more than diplomats, have the power of hastening or prevent- ing: it. PAPER Paper is’being consumed in the United States; woman and child.

The sensible campaign for reforestation dwells. too much on the money side. Unless we conserve our forests, future generations will have to curtail the! dissemination of intelligence because of a paper shortage. LAND | In western Canada, ' grazing privileges of pub- lic land are reduced to two cents an acre. Form- erly the rate was four cents. This is to help the! livstock industry and make meat cheaper. ‘ That same land could be farmed. Like millions of acres of idle land in our country, it stands ready to furnish health, happiness-and financial inde- pendence to any who want it . (Just why folks who have a hard time making a} go of it in the city do not get out into the coun- try, is a mystery of that peculiar and doubtful} | thing called the human intellect. OYSTER The, second month with “r” in it is well under way, and oysters again are in season. Dr. Llaguet, writing in the Journal de Medicine de Bordeaux, says that, contrary to the general notion, oysters are as good to eat in summer The reason oysters are kept from market in| summer is because that is hes r reproductive sea- son. It is a poor sportsman a a bad citizen who does not give similar protection to all forms of| animal life. TRESPASSING As a trespasser jumped off the track, just in time to escape being hit by a western interurban car, the motorman threw him a sealed envelope. This message inside: “Don’t you realize there is serious danger to anyone walking these tracks, owing to the fact that our cars are run at high speed? If the motor- man should fail to see you in bad weather or while rounding a curve, or for some other reason, you would be placed in imminent danger of being kill- ed or injured. We hope that you will at once dis- continue walking on these tracks.” The interurban line says these letters have cut Her excess of exports over imports is about half} 20/ as large as.a year ago. , A good cause ceases; i WwooD E | Government wouldn’t let him hold two jobs at! | i | _—e—e a little made in-your “Have you cellar?” A Miss in hand is worth two in the engine. ‘Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and the world laughs at you. . pees Perhaps a coal dealer wrote“ Keep | the Home Fires Burning.” Karl wanted ‘his throne back and got thrown back. i The real Chinese puzzle is do they eat rats?

Alone it stands beside the dusty road, Where are the friends it used to love to know, Who gathered ’round its welcome beaming hearth, And called it ‘home sweet home’ so long ago. No more glad echoes stir in dim old walls, No more the laughter and the merry glee, Resound in sweetest music thru its halls, But all is wrapped in silent mystery. Adown the garden path the roses bloom, The. purpling grapes are hanging overhead, But‘all is sadly vacant and forlorn, Like to a world whose inmates all are dead. | The jasmine’s perfume borne upon the breeze, } Brings back sweet memories of days gone by; ‘ T see the faces of friends loved and lost, And wipe a burning teardrop from mine eye.

In thé early days of the Christian church, the first of November was set aside. as All Saints’ Day, it being im- possible to observe a separate day for cach saint. The night preceding All Saints’ Day was known as Hallowe'en. It was a fearful night, during which the evil, spirits were believed to burst from their ‘bonds and haunt the world, esine a last fling prior to the sacred jay. , The property damages which they were supposed to inflict have been pictorially passed on throvsh. the centuries in Hallowe’en customs. of carrying. away gates, tearing down fences and heaping old cabbages and trash on porches of the unpopular.

Renewing his con- tracts with hig tenants, or making ar- rangements with new ones, it was the Hallowe'en custom of landlords to bring forth the flowing bowl, baskets of red apples and sacks of nuts.

How «about it, Boy Scouts? ps SN I is ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts (Well, sir, Nancy and Nick saw some queer people and} queer ‘happenings and queer ever so many things while they were under the sea helping Cap’n Pennywinkle. But one of the ‘| queerest things of all was the manner in which Flatty Flounder changed him- self around. Cap’n Pennywinkle blew his whistle thre2 times, the way he always did whén he needed help. The Twins heard it and hurried to the Cross toads at once. “What's wrong?” called ‘Nancy. “Oh, there’s somebody blocking traffic again,” answered the fairyman crossly. “Flatty Flounder is, lying here just at the busiest place, and he's more stubborn than Tub Terrapin ever was.” Nick went up quite close und gave the flounder a poke. “What's wrong, Flatty?” he asked. Fiatty yawned, then he stretched, and blinked jone eye. Perhaps he blinked ‘both eyes, but if he did, no one could see it. He was lying on one side just as you do in bed, and one eye was under him, right down on the sandy bottom of the sea. After he had done all these things he condescended to answer. “I'm tired—that’s all.” “Well, then,” said Nick, sternly, “why don’t you find another place to rest yourself?” , “Yes,” added Cap'n Pennywinkle indignantly. “The idea of parking yourself right here where nobody can Bet past!

I'm like all little boys, I do most of my growing in bed, and just now I'm so tired that I feel } must be going to grow.” With that he settled himself down on the sand like a cement pavement.

HE story of Bianca’ Capella might T well be called “The Face at the Window.” She was, born in 1548, | daughter of a great Venetian noble, And no girl ever had a more alluring future, But love interfered and she ran away with a poor bank clerk to his home in Florence. He had told her that his parents belonged to the gen- try. Instead, she found them living fu a miserable slum, Bianca soon became celebrated. as the flower of the Florence slums. One day she was sitting at the window when Francesco de Medici chanced by. He’ saw her lovely face and the next day she was summoned to court, Francesco was the son of the grand, duke, and soon her slave. She had sickened of the bank clerk husband and the trials of poverty. Francesco's father died and he be} came grand duke. Now Bianca saw her chance to a place beside him. A child was borrowed and presented to! Francesco by Blanca as his own.) ‘Then, to conceal her plot, the real) mother was slain. A waiting woman; who knew ot it was carried to 4 mountain pass and left there for dead. But adherents of Francesco's brother found this woman and heard her story before she died.,'The brother was a ‘cardinal and jealous of Bianca's rise to power, In some way she learned that the cardinal knew. her secret, and boldly confessed It to the grand duke. Francesco,. infatuated, forgave her and insisted on treating the child as if it really had been his own. But Bianca's troubles were only multiply- ing, for Francesco's wife bore him a son when all hope of his having an heir seemed lost. It looked as It Bianca's day was oyer.. But. she left Florence a year, then’ returned in greater favor than before. And soon the duchess died, her young son fol- lowing her shortly afterward. There were hints of poison at Blanca’s in- stigation. However that may have been, the duke married her within two months, The child first given to Francesco as an heir was legitimatized and it appeared that an unknown founding would some day rule Florence. But Bianca still had one im- placable enemy, the Cardinal de Medici, In an effort to ‘make friends she invited him to a great feast and merry-making, Just what happened nay never be known. Some historians say that Blanca had prepared a apolsoned tart for the cardinal, but that he substituted it for another tart, unpolsoned, and it was servéd to the duke, When Bianca saw her husband in deadly agony, it {s sald she real- ized what had happened and ate the othér half ‘of? the ‘polsoned” dainty. Both were soon dead and Bianca's en- emy had won, “VAMPS” WHO : MADE HISTORY | By JAMES C. YOUNG. THE VAMPIRE WHO WON MiIL- LIONS. HE was a woman beloved: by two kings. She sold the secrets of each to the other, and made millions in the process. Louis XIV first’ loved dainty Loulse de la Querouaille. But the historians say that she proved unfaithful to her royal-admirer. Louis did not let this prevent him from sending her to Eng- Iand In the train of a court lady bound there on a visit of state, ..And he told Louise to captivate Charles II of Eng- land. Then she was to send hin news of England's statecraft and to influence ‘Charles so that he would make concessions which the French monarch wanted. For all of which Louis engaged to pay her handsomely. Louise found the occupation sucn an easy one that she decided it would be just as simple to sell Charles news of Louls and his policies. So she re- celved much gold from both kings, but it is said that she never informed Charles of anything more than trivial) matters, remaining loyal to her own! land. This double traffic made Loulse ‘aj very rich woman, But her ambition craved greater honors, She persuad. ed the English king to make her duchess of Portsmouth, and as such she was thoroughly despised by the English people. In addition to! dealing in secrets of state she wielded her influence at the two courts| to obtain roany political appointments, for which she was duly paid by the| appcintees. But ‘.ouise was not suf, ficiently wise to hold all of this money, ‘for she became a devotee of the gam- ing tables and lost large antounts with a_superb indifference. At home she induced Louis to give her a high position in the French court, telling Charles that her visits to Paris were for the purpose of obtaining informe- tion about the plans of Louis. Then Charles suddenly died, in 1685. His successor, James II. packed Louise off to France, bag and baggage. Much of her wealth had been dissipated. She found herseif without an occupation. her English possessions lost, and only a scanty welcome at frome. And in the course of a little while she dis- appeared from court, her purse pen- niless. Louts paid heed to her mis- fortunes and granted a small pension which served to sustain the arch spy and vampire for the remainder of her brief days.
