A &) £ e e RSN S T S5 T e ¥ 8—A EXHAUSTIVE WORK ON CANCER IS 0UT Figures Compiled on Deaths From the Disease Show Many Inter- esting Facts. UPSETS MANY SET OPINIONS One of the most exhaustive works on cancer ever produced has been prepared by Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician for the Prudential Life Insurance company. Though it leads nowhere, so far as pointing the way to a cure for the disease, the facts presented are most interesting, up- setting though they nearly all long-established opinions preju- dices regarding the diseasc According to investigation, there are 500,000 deaths annually in the civilized world from this discase, and 80,000 deaths in the United States But right here the statisticians sug gest that their figures may mean but little after all, since the figures are for only the 450,000,000 people in civ ilized countries, which comprise only 26 per cent of the world’s total popu- lation, In this country the deaths from do or cancer are about seventy-eight in every 100,000 people. Yet in this articular there is a wide range. In Seattle the ratio is 102 to the 100,000, and in Savannah only 47. In places where males predominate the disease is less frequent, and among women the married ones are peculiarly sub- ject to the complaint, Figures Favor Printers. Printers, pressmen and other per- sons in occupations making them more subject than the majority to tuberculosis are less apt to have can- cer, Miners are found to be compara- tively exempt. Men who work with pitch and tar have the discase more than others, Chimney sweeps are high in the list, except where they have long brooms. The investigation upsets the theory held by many that the apparent in- crease of cancer is due to the larger number of people who attain to ma- ture years |lhan formerly, It is shown also that there is nothing in the the- ory of others that if many, who died of smallpox, typhoid fever or other discases, had lived to mature years, they would have been victims of this disease, Those attacked by cancer are usually the most robust in health, but this is true only of those in ma- ture years who have the disease, Those of a younger age, who die of the disease, are apt to be those who have been sickly. Liquor Increases Tendency. It is found that the use of alco- holic liquors and tobacco inecreases the tendency to the discase. Men have the affliction perhaps most of all in the digestive organs, and women are peculiarly subject to cancer of the breast. Yet there scems to be no reason for the fact that in Japan there are only one-tenth as many cases of cancer of the breast in proportion as there are in England, e races are comparatively ex- empt from the disease, though since the abolition of slavery cancer, as well as tuberculosis, has increased among negroes. Among Indians the Ysfiportion is only twenty-nine to the he average age of men dying from this disease is about sixty, he av- erage age of women victims is about fifty-eight. Disease Not Communicable. There is no evidence whatever that the disease is communicable in any way. Nor is there any evidence that the discase is inherited. The figures under this head show that heredity plays an even smaller part in the dis- ease than in the case of tuberculosis. y Those living in cold climates are more subject to cancer than those livini near the equator, and in Mex ico those living in the table lands are more, often victims than those resid- in?) in the lowlands, maha ranks thirteenth among the large cities of the country, with a ratio of 85.5, a figure somewhat above the average. Next to Seattle the six cities having the highest ratio are Boston, Providence, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Hartford and New Haven. Chicago ranks twenty-third and Min- neapolis thirty-third. New York is next below Chicago. Vegetarians are comparatively ex- empt from the disease, and there are only a few cancers of the digestive organs among the non-meat eating population Living Near Water. One authority insists that persons living near water are more subject to the disease than those living inland The assurance is given that can cer is no more likely to be caused by worry than smallpox or scarlet fever The disease is rare among Jews living according to the ritual Recurrence of the disease after an operation occurs within six months in o4 g»er cent of all tested cases Out of 514 operations for cancer at Minn,, Rochester, ahout 48 per cent died later of cancer. One patient ¢ covered and then died of cancer nearly 10 ye after the erati Those well-to-do are more subject to the disease than the poor, indica fng the possible danger of over ing. MT, ST.

J. Smith, said to be an authority on the subject. Follow- ing is his letter: “In reply to a request from your | committee to write an article on ) growing apples, permit me to first | send you a start article on spraying. As the apple trees are now in full bloom, they will soon be ready for the | eodling moth spray. To grow sound fruit should interest every person who has one tree or many. Let us not have a repetition of last year's apple market if we can avoid it, “If a person has just a few trees in the yard, go to the seed man and get |a small hand sprayer, which will an- | swer, one holding three to five gal- {lons.
