Mile. Sorel gets one twenty-fourth of the earnings of the theatre, besides a fixed yearly salary plus a fixed amount for each appearance. : Mile. Sorel the course she did because of the complaints of younger players of the house of Moliere that they were unable to make ends meet on their meagre salaries. Sarah Bernhardt resigned from the society because of that fact. Recent- ly Mme. Hugette Duflos resigned and the courts ordered her to pay the so- ciety 150,000 francs damages or breaking her contract. The society contracts for actors and actresses to remain for 20 years and the society had sued her, ! Managers of the big boulevard theatres are offering large sums to Theatre Francaise actresses to go over to their employ. There is a tradition that a societaire's giving up his or her share of profits is a pre- lude to resignation, so that the direc- tors are unwilling to accept Mlle. Sorel's offer unless it stipulates that she will remain in the society. Weddings SHORT--BENTHAM A very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs, W.

Read it aloud to Jane and Betty. "Put into a mixing bowl ¥ cupful butter, 1 cupful sugar, ¥ teaspoon- ful salt, 3 teaspooniul ground nut- meg, 1 egg (both white and yolk), Beat till smooth and creamy. Add 3% cupful of milk and stir till well blended. Sift half cupful flour and put it in two neat piles at one side of the bread board or enameled table on which you will roll out the cook- ies, Then sift together 214 cupfuls of flour and stir till it becomes smooth stiff dough. Divide this mass into three about equal portions, for convenience in handling. Take one of the little piles of sifted flour and sprinkle over the center of the board, making sure that it is well distributed. From the other pile, take flour for flouring the roll- ing pin and your own fingers, which of course, are spotlessly clean. Put one of the three portions of dough in the center of the floured part of the board. With floury fingers pat it to make sure there are no sticky edges. Now gently roll the dough till it is a little thinner than you want your finished cooky to be. Dip a cut- ter in the extra flour and cut ome cooky, Dip again and cut a second, and so on till you have cut several.

Infor- mation supplied by the United States census burcau on the prevalence of cancer in the registration states of 1900 and 1925, indicate rapid gains in the number of deaths produced by this disease, The registration states of 1900 which form the basis of comparison, include Connecticut, Indianna, Maine, Massaschusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. In that year the total number of deaths from cancer in all its forms was 34,176 in a population of 30,642,000. T'» registration area was consid- era cnlarged in 1925, and includ- ed & population of 103,108,000. In this number the deaths from cancer totalled 95,504. More than half of those who died from cancer were women, though the male population of the registration area exceeds that of the female. Of the total deaths from cancer in 1925, 53,693 or 56.2 per cent. were women and 41,865 or 438 per cent were men. There were five times as deaths from cancer of the mouth among men asmong women, Can- cer of the skin was about two thirds: more frequent among males than among females, Cancer of the stom- ach and liver caused nearly one half of all cancer deaths among men, but only about one third of the deaths among women. - Cancer of the breast and of the genital organs caused 42 per cent of cancer deaths among women in 1925. Among the 1925 registration states, New Hampshire had the highest crude death rate of 148 per 100,000, but when allowance was made for the unusually large proportions. of old persons there, the adjusted rate was found to be 99.3. many with sight and because we are used to that marvelous power, we are far too often neglectful of it. We do mot take care of our eyes. Now, the human eye is so won- derfully built that it can accommo- date many of the abuses to which it is subjected. Its delicate won- derful muscles and nerves will ad- just themselves for an indefinite period to the strains put upon it --and even under very severe abuse may perform the task with little or no complaint. But physi- ologists tell us that the eyes are 3% of all the nerve force im the body when they are functioning normally. It is clear, therefore, that an additional strain on the eyes makes an added strain on the nerve force of the entire body, weakens it, makes it more subject to disease, and certainly impairs mental and bodily efficiency.
