Caisse, of Bracebridge. This lady makes claims to having found a cure for cancer, or at least a treatment that greatly alleâ€" viates the disease. The medical professlon appears to be agreed that cancer is one .of the modern menaces to life and human happlness and the profession asserts that no cure is ‘available‘as yét: In her own district Miss Caisse has a large and deâ€" voted following. She has been treating cancer with the consent of doctors for some thirteen years. There are scores of cures credited to her treatâ€" ment, though practically all of the cases coming to her attention are those in the more hOpeles< stages of the disease. In most of the cases treated by Miss Caisse considerable alleviation of sufferâ€" ing has resulted, and there appears to be a large number of fully attested cures. At the present time Miss Caisse has about 250 patients u’x‘xder treatment. 80 impressive has been MIS Caisse‘s success in the treatment of cancer that: nearly 17,000 people, including many physicians and nurses, signed a petition to the Ontario Departâ€". ment of Health asking that Miss Caisse‘s method be accepted and used by the medical profession in cancer cases,. Miss Caisse was granted formal perâ€" mission by the Dept. of Health of Ontario to conâ€" duct her clinic for the treatment of cancer. At the same time, nowever, Miss Caisse is not recogâ€" nized by the medical profession and there appears to be a tendency on the part of the profession to discount her claims and to frown on her attempts to treat cancer cases. In the pastâ€"as at the preâ€" sent timeâ€"doctors have advised â€"patients with cancer to try Miss Caisse‘s treatment. She has had cases from all over Ontario and beyond. People in Bracebridge and Huntsville are inclined to speak of her work for cancer patients in enthusiastic terms. The newspapers in the gistrict in which she lives give her hearty support. (‘This is probably the strongest approval for the woman and her methods, as the newspapers are in excellent posiâ€" tion to know the facts of the matter and to judge the situation from the standapoint of public welâ€" fare. en o o so far as a cursory study of the matter suggests, Miss Caisse appears to have given very careful and earnest study to the matter of cancer. Her theory is that cancer can not be cured by operationâ€"the chief treatment offered by the daoctors. ‘ She says that cutting the growths simply aggravates the disease. Her method of treatment is the use Oof 2 discovery that she names "Essiac." Essiac is given hypodermically. It is said to be harmless even to a well person and there is little ill reâ€"action after treatment. The claim is made for the treatment that it achieves good results.

It is a popuâ€" lar opinion, perhaps, that the medical profession hesitates to accept anything that is new or that does not originate in the profession itself. Howâ€" ever popular such an idea may be in the public mind, it is not in accordance with the facts." ‘Mediâ€" cal and surgical science could not have made the wonderful strides of the past few years with any such narrow attitude prevailing. 3 There may be some features of the matter that l raamhed the nublic.

There does not seem to be any question of the good faith of Miss Caisse, Neither is there much doubt but that many cancer patients have been helped by her. Just at the present time the Health League of Canada is doing notable work in giving inforâ€" mation to the public on the menaCce of cancer. The Health League of Canada includes a number of of outstanding ability and recognized knowledge. Would not the geglth League add to its prestige for public service and its value to public health, if it made an independent survey of the reported cancer cure and ascertained the facts.; If Miss Caisse has discovered effective treatment for mat uSCSs A‘A eB ME Ee cancer, the benefit should be made knewn and made available in very general way. If the treatâ€" ment is without value it is not well to disappoint sufferers with false hopes. The Health League of Canada might well add to its public usefulness by a close enguiry and study and an authoritative pronouncement in the matter. :.;.,9355\ Tez 1f the soâ€"called "strike" at Oshawa had been an ordinary honest strike, Premier Hepburn would have settled it before it really started. As it was he was able to secure an increase of wages for the employees and was equally ready and able to iq- duce the remedying of any other grievances the men might have as to hours or conditions, Eviâ€" dently; however, the trouble was not due to low wages or undesirable conditions of employment. There have been stories of low rates of pay and objectionable hours, but when the premier in his UHownright way attempted to negotiate between the men and the employees, these were not the questions with which he was asked to deal. Inâ€" deed, when a delegation of the "strikers‘" went to interview the premier last week, they disclosed the unfortunate situation by their actions and attiâ€" tude. They refused the conference because very rightly Premier Hepburn refused to negotiate with an alien agitator. Oshawa has its own labour leadersâ€"able enough surely to state their case. If the strike were caused by genuine grievances, then the men would have been able to present their case and they would have found ready help and support from the Ontario premier. Hon. Mr. Hepâ€" burn, however, was shrewd enough to see that the strike was not due to wages or conditions but to politicsâ€"foreign politics at that. John L. Lewis with his Committee for Industrial Organization was simply carrying his battle against the Ameriâ€" can Federation of Labour into the Canadian arca. The American Federation of Labour through its affiliated labour unions has done more to better the situation of the worker than any other organiâ€" zation in the world. sane and safe methods have gradually won advantage for all trades and wore % _ $ PR 4 C ol e o gained the respect and support of the public. The American Federation of Labour has always set its face against violence and lawâ€"breaking. It has built success and confidence on negotiation and agreements. Its progress in securing better wages and better conditions for the worker is its own justification and the proof of the virtue of its policy. It has always had to battle the hotheads and the lawless in its own‘ ranks. During the deâ€" pression this element gained some measure of power and control under the leadership of ambiâ€" tious fellows who saw their chance for power and pay. In striving to prevent the introduction into Canada of the evil influence that has disrupted United States industry and seriously injured the ’interests of the worker, Premier Hepburn did 2 ! patriotic service to the country and showed himself la true friend of the worker. Whatever the evenâ€" i tual outcome this is a case where Hon. Mr. Hepburn | has no reason for making excuse or apology. He did the right, the farâ€"sighted, the patriotic thing with courage and despatch. i1 s > » > PREMIER HEPBURN‘S STAND ! "Hey, fellow," writes Gordon Sinclair to The Adâ€" vance, " this is a private fight between me and Kirkland Lake." Hey, yourself, and see how you like it. And there are no private fights in this North Land when a Sassenach dares to insult and revile a good neighbour and a good town of good sports like Kirkland Lake.

TIMMTNS, ONTARIO The Chicago News onse printed the item "He is a good physitian who adâ€" ministers medicine to the heart in the shape of wit and humour." Have you ever been "nearly gead," when seme friend with a keen sense of humsur has come in and "snapped you cut of it?" If you haven‘t such a friend, read Jerame K.

Eut for this, as one may Say, public demand, I, perhaps, should not have ventured to offer‘thsse mere "iG:o thoughts" cf mine as mental fceda for the Englishâ€"speaking peoples of the earth. What readers ask nowadays In a book is that it should improve, inâ€" struct, and elevate. This book wouldn‘t elevate a cow. I cannot conscientiousiy recommend it for any useful purpose whatever. All I can suggest is, that when you get tired of readiing "the best hundred books," you may take this up for half an hour. It will be a change." w OWE se Ee As it weuld really be an impossibility to explain Mr. Jerome‘s book withâ€" cut quoting him, I shall simply quole:!: "I always do sit with my hands in my except when I am in the company of my sisters, my cousins, or my aunts; and theyâ€"kick up sucit a shindyâ€"Iâ€" should say, expostulate so eloquently upon. the subjectâ€"that I have to give in and take them outâ€" my hands, I mean. The chorus to the: cbjections is that it is not gentlemanly. I am hanged if I can see why.

It may be, however, that the provincigi*authorties were conâ€" fused or misled by the suggbstlon that the Central public school be taken over for a town hall, The ratepayers did not favour ‘@ny such proposal, but this was the plan pressed 0h the Municipal Board at its session here last year.. There are rumours now that plans are for the securing of another site for the town hall. ~Is this another scheme to further delay the building of a new town hall? The ratepayers have not endorsed any such scheme. It is more h}an doubtful if they would approve the new planÂ¥ reported.

Jerome has compiled a book that is hearty and cheerful, and whith, beneath its humour, carries many ideas that are worth a)earmg in mind, such as: "Let us be vain, not of cur trousers| and hair, but of brave hearts and workâ€" ing hands, of truth, of purity, of noâ€" tility. Let us be too vain to stoop to aught that is mean or base, too vain for petty selfishness and littleâ€"minded envy, too vain to say an unkind word or do an unkind act. Let us be vain of being singleâ€"hearted, upright genâ€" tlemen in the midst of a world of knaves, Let us pride ourselves upon thinking high thoughts, achieving great deeds, living good lives."
