Madame Tussauds, the famous . 1 English wax works, situated in '_i Baker street, London, has long been {popular both with the English and` `their visitors. Madame Tussaud, the Swiss-b-orn founder, came to England in 1802 and eventually set- Ltled her wax works exhibit in its present site. She learned the art of wax modelling in Paris and gave lessons to Elizabeth, sister of Louis QXVI. During the French Revolution :she was imprisoned for three months. One special attraction is `the gure of Madame Tussaud as an old lady standing beside the famous Sleeping Beauty. In conjunction with the exhibition there is now .very modern theatre and tea tool Readers are invited to send their queries in to this column. I . What is the origin of the word canteen? Click, A.

Canteen" is simply tin can said backwards, and to Justiiy his -theory Tommy At- kins merely invited you to look I around. Certainly tin entered ] 1_argely_into the utensils and furnish- .ings ot the average canteen, the 1drinvking vessels were tin, and in |ni_any cases the tables were covered lwith black tin.

Diet, civilization and race are not `believed to be provocative of can- cer. Cancer is not hereditary like diabetes and pernicious anaemia, but undoubtedly some persons are more predisposed to cancer than others. Because a person s parents or close relatives have died of cancer is no reason why the individual will have lit. Nor is .cancer caused by a germ such as is the cause of one contag- ious disease or another. Cancer is neither con.ta,e:ious nor infectious. Nurses and doctors, constantly in contact. with cancer patients, do not contract the disease from them. There are no such things as cancer houses. There are instances in which cancer has resulted from the effect of a parasite. But it is the irritation produced by the parasite that causes the cancer to arise.
