Editor WHY CANCER CASES INCREASE More hopeful information about cancer ha.s been .supplied to The Am- erican Journal of Cancer by an expert lady investigator, Dr. Madtre Thurlow Mackliti of the University of Western Ontario. This expert ack- nowledges that in recent years there has been a real increase in the ca.-^e.-i reported, but points out that it is all due to the larger numbers of persons living beyo.id 60 whose lives have been .saved from other diocs.ii-s that u.'!cd to,luU-al a younger age. "We inay visualize mankind," says this investigator. "as walking over a bridge which spans the river of death. Along its length and width are many trap-tioor.-;, .through which the un- wary traveller may drop As the trap-door of infant mortality opens far lees frequently than it did be- fore; as the trap-door of yellow fevei is practically shut; as the trap-dooi for malaria, smallpox and typhoid open but once where formerly they opened a score of times, we find that the troup of people is not nearly 80 thinned out by the time the middle of the bridge is reached as in years gone by." Dr. Macklin's study answers a world wide discussion whether the large recent increase in cancer deaths is real or only apparent. "There is strong ground for believing," she writes, "that a similar analysis of the statistics of any other country 'vould lead to the same conclusions. It is true there may be racial differences in immunity to cancer, but the con- clu.sion here reached will probably prove universal, namely that excell- ent public health measures and high cancer rates are inseparable, at least for the present. Medical men, how- ever, have strong hopes that the real cause of the malady will be ascer- tained, and a palliative or cure be made possible. Even now, when can- cer is discovered in its very early stage, it is being successfully com- batted. ground against the action of the On- tario Hydro Commission in calling upon the consumers to pay the premiums colle.ted on bonds payable in the United Slates. "Now, if at any time, the benefits of public own- eiship tihould be felt,'' declared the Mayor. "I am a strong supporter of pujlic ownership. But there should le ni) levy upon the power consumers ( f Ontario, in these hard times such as the present, whi.h is not of para- mount importance for the advance- ment of the public's enterprise. Hydro appears to be failing in one of the principal causes of its creation: Power at cost." And failure to maintain this ideal of Hon. Adam Beck there will be unless there is united actjin to prevent the levy proposed.

Hereabouts cows are gener- ally wt"" iH'haved, thoufth occasional ones do hurt unprotected lawns. But it surely is the duty of every owner to co-operate with their neigh- bors and keep a sharp eye on "bossy,* who is only too ready to go gadding. We heard of one householder who did not l«ve the cow run in as a vagrant, but porniirtly relieved her of hei latest milk supply and shooefl her ))ome. If this treatment of astray xiow.* became general there might soon l>e no transgressors. • * * The Mayor of Toronto takes sti^ns Telephone: 78 Emerson J. BenneM Furniturt • Funeral Service Hmi.

Medical services are available to bring to the benefit of mankind the knowledge and skill acquired through years of study and experience. How- ever, although the service is there, it is used only in part. The sick come to be made whole; few people come to be kept in health. We today are free from the menace of certain diseases which were well and sadly known but a short time ago. Imported sanitary measures have given us much in return for the money expended on the safeguarding of water, milk and food supplies. We have arrived at the time when we :annot expect much further help from sanitary measures.and we will have to rely upon individual efforts to deal with those diseasee which sanitary conditions do not influence. The degenerative diseases of the heart, kidneys and blood vessels, can- cer and diabetes do not develop sud- denly, as do acute diseases such as pneumonia or typhoid fever. They are insidious in their development, al- though the first evidence of their ex- istence may come as an overwhelming catastrophe. These degenerative diseases develop within us. They have no relationsWp to the health of anyone else in the family or around about us. They represent the wearing out or partial destruction of essential working parts of the body machine. We should seek to prevent the de- generative diseases by living a nor- mal, hygienic life. We should also sctk to know of their existence in our body by having a regular health ex- amination once a year. If we wait until v.'c; feel the changes which these d:r,case3 cause, then very likely we have waited until irreparable inroads have been made. The health examination provides for a check-up of all the organs of the body. The earliest signs of dis- ease are detected and treatment se- cured i»t the time when it can do the most good. Instead of waiting until you are quite sure that you are ill to call in your doctor to take care of you, how much better it is to have him do his best to keep you well. The periodic health examination of- fers a practical means to secure a longer, healthier life. Osprey Fair Friday Everything is all set for the Osprey fall fair at Feversham on Friday afternoon of this week, when it is hoped that fair weather will prevail and allow a record crowd to attend foi this main township event of the year. The many special prizes presented for competition is sure to bring out a large number of horse exhibits and other live stock. Plan to attend the Feversham fair on Friday and en- joy an afternoon with your friends. At night a concert will be held in the agricultural hall, when a play, "Welcome Home Jimmy," will be pre- sented by the Feversham Dramatic Clsb, and should attract a full house. Two Orillia youths were sent to jail at Orangeville for stealing gas from an automobile. County Crown At- torney asked that the young men be whipped but the unfortunates thought imprisonment enough. Seized with a heart attack while tra\«slling in Europe last week, Robt. Curran, Mayor of Orillia and a wall known newspaper man, died in Lon- don, Eng. He was 65 years old and had been in ill health.
