0.0 YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN?
She lives in Canada. She is be-
tween 45 and 65 years of age. Sever-
al months ago, she noticed a lump in
her breast. It was quite small, not
painful to touch and really gave her
no trouble.
As weeks passed by, she observed
that the lump was becoming a little
larger. It seemed to be somewhat
bound down in the breast tissue, but
still not very troublesome. Het hus-
band suggested that she see her doc-
tor but that didn't seem to her ne-
cessary, especially as she was not
feeling ill.
The lump, however, kept on swel-
ling and spreading and a certain a-
mount of tenderness was noticed. She
began to go down hill physically; be-
came tired and weary, appetite not so
good, and rather restless in her slatp,
Why not see the Doctor? Well,
what could he dot Perhaps it was
not serious and then again he might
say it was cancer and that would
mean an operation and --• No, she
would keep away from Doctors and
after a while all would be well,
You aren't this woman, are you?
If you are, let us tell you as kindly
but as frankly as we can, that you
may be gambling with death.
You may have cancer of the breast.
A. few months ago, if you had gone
to your Doctor, he could have remov-
ed that small lump and given: you a
reasonable bill of health for the fu-
ture.
utune. Now, if your life is to be spar-
ed you must not delay a day longer
in placing yourself in the handsof a
competent medical adviser. Your
chances of a permanent cure have
been greatly reduced by your delay.
You face a grave problem but your
only chance for life is to receive pr -o
per treatment. If you continue to ig-
nore the condition, it does mean cer-
tain death. How different the picture
would be if .treatment had been under-
taken when you first noticed that
lump. It was the beginning of can-
cer, but in. an early stage when treat-
ment is so much simpler than now
and: mire reasonably certain..
And, reader, you are not this wo-
man, but could ,you be in a few
months' time? Have you a small
lump in the breast? Well if you have
see yolrr Doctor now. It may not
be cancer at all but something much
less serious. However, take no than-
ces.
Last year, 11,652 Canadians died
with cancer, an increase of 596 over
1935. This appalling death rate can
be ` cut down by early diagnosis and
treatment.

CTiRiSTMAS COOKIES

nice -that is what' good cookies are
made of. No matter what ingred-
ients the other things nice may in-
clude the most important of them all

shortening to give the cookies the de-
sired richness, but it also imparts a
delicious, palatable flavour and -a
good colour to the cookies. The Milk

Make a Christmas Picture Book stA
Let pictures tell the story. Bedt me on Christmas Eve is as 'impor-
tent to the story as discoveries at the tree next morning. Amateur floodl
or flash lamps and supersensitive film put the pictures on a snapshot basis...
PLANNING our Christmas pictures
is very much like planning our
Christmas ,shopping. Far in advance
we resolve to do It early. Day after
day we resolve to do it early. And
then all of a sudden the time is up,
we can't do it early -and we don't
do it well.
So, here's sound advice. Do it
now! Get yourself pencil and paper
and work out a Christmas scenario,
a series of pictures that will tell the
whole Christmas story and give
material for the pictorial Christmas
book you have always wanted to
make.
Then, first thing tomorrow; lay an
a proper supply of supersensitive
film and amateur flood or flash
bulbs, so they will be ready to hand
when Christmas comes. .
Don't skimp in planning your pic-
ture series. Remember, it's an occa-
sion that (anima only once in a yeaa.
and eyen if the children are still
young, they are growing up rapidly
as far as Christmas is concerned.
You will want at least one picture
•-perhaps several -of decorating
the Christmas tree. If you use a
eelf-timer, the whole family can
appear in one picture. Another
"must" will deal with hanging up
the Christmas stockings. Other pic-
tures can be relaited to these -for
example, the children peeping up
the chimney to make sure it is big
enough for Santa's entrance. A flood
bulb, tucked away in a corner of the
fireplace, will give a proper firelight:
effect.
Then, there should be a pajama:.
picture with the parents admonish-
ing the children to go to bed and .be•
good and .stay there. There should,
be a picture sof the children -asleep-
-they seldom .are on Christmas Eve•
but they can at least close their eyes.
and pretend.
Next morning, a picture of *them
peeping down the stairway. Joyous
snaps as the mew toys are discov-
ered. A snap :of father trying to put
Junior's new train together -or of
Junior struggling for a, chance to -
play with it himself. Snaps of the.

ity the wish that everyone will .have,
