Dr. MacCarty of Mayo Clinic,
.Tells of Fifteen Factors.
in Recent Address:._
Detroit,—What chance for recovery
has the cancer patient?.. How long.
Will lie . live? The answer. to these
questions, of such vital interest to the
,.sufferer and his faintly, wore given in
.a-considerationof 16 factors by Dr.
Wyilliam C. Marcarty; ofthe Mayo
Clinic, 'at the meeting Isere ;of the
American Medical Ossociation.
One of the most important factors is
location of 'the growth. The more
.gland that is attacked. the shorter the
patient's life will be. If the cancer is
so lecated that it produces pain or
bleeding or obstruction 'in .the early
stages, the better the patient's chances
because he will' get early treatment.
If the cancer grows inward on -an or
,gan the chance of recovery is' worse
than if it grows, out from the organ..
If the heart and kidneys are function-
ing efficiently the outlook is poor, Size
et the growth, ageof the patient, loss
of weight, durationofthe disease and
the way in which the cancer cells act
in the body all have\an leflueuce.on
the patient's chance for recovery, liut
the exact significance of these factors
is not certain.
Whon the cancer is on the breast,
the outlook is good. This type of cau-
cer Cart be permanently cured when it
Is recognized and operated.: on in the
early stages, Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan'
of RushMedioal College, Chicago,
said. Breast tumors occur it about
three women out of every 100, he said.
Of $00 women who came to a clinic
during the year,com lalning of
a
tamer growth of the breast, only 200
women have a tumor.
Half of. these women have a benign
tumor and hall a malignant tumor. In
malignant tumors the outlook is good
If the disease has not spread to ad-
joining parts of the body, such as the
glands of the arm.
X -Ra. 'Beneficial
The use r? X-rays and radium after
operation on cancer of the breast
gives much better results` than the
operation alone, Drs. Hugh P. Trout
and C. H. reterson of Roanoke, Va.,
reported as a result of 20 years ex-
perience in these cases. These phYsi-I
clans were Impressed with the fact
that cases of cancer are being seed
earlier than ever before, and that
therefore, results of treatment should
bo better than ever,
The public is notyet eufilciently
aware of the need of early discovery
and treatment, another speaker •on
cancer, Dr. William H. Kramer of the
tumor clinic, Jefferson Hospital, Phila-
delphia, said. He declared that can -
ser threatens the very foundations of
civilization. In all tire' discussion of
cancer by the country's leading ex-
perts mi the subject, only radium,
X-rays and surgery will lead and elec-
tro surgery as adjuncts in special
cases, were mentioned as treatments
which could lead to cure of the dis-
ease. The aver .ge patient does not
yet realize that these are the proved
methods of treatment. He has not
sufficient faith in -the medical Profes-
sion, and that is why patients by the
thousands will follow fake cancer
cures around the country, Dr. Kramer:
said.

arms, a combination, of symptoms
'known as claudication occurs.
A patient may be without pain while
resting, but on moving about he will
develop such 1,315 or weakness that he
can no longer Stand. Such a patient
can be helped by being kept in a very
hot bath, about 110 degrees Fahren-
heit. The baths are repeated ,daily
for two or more weeks and in many
oases give permanent relief.
For the child who has developed
anaemia after a bout of whooping
cough, rickets, bronchitis or similar

and Grulee, 'of Chicago, reported.
Treating, this secondary anaemia with
iron has formerly bean a tedious pro

new method, which is supplemented
by ultraviolet ray treatments, gave
good results ona group of six youug

improvement was still in evidence
eight months after the treatment. The
method has no ' effect in primary
anemia or pernicious anemia, Dr. Gru-
lee emphasized..
Planes Have Far to Go?
• Considering that the total output of
passenger cars, trucks and taxicabs'

Helpful Hints!
It is a mistake to keep biscuits in
the same tin with cakes. If placed to-
gether, the former quickly become
soft.
It meat Is not to be used at once in
hot weather, sprinkle a little pepper
over it. This not only discouragers
flies, but helps to conserve the juices.
Mint will keep fresh for a consider-
able time if it is washed in cold water
in which a little carbonate of coda has
been dissolved.
Suet will not stick to the knife while
chopping if a little ground rice has
been sprinkled over it.
ylrl5en frying foodstuffs care should
be taken to 'avoid placing too much
into the pan at one time, as this .de-
creases the temperature of the fat.
Add a few drops "of lemon juice to
rice while It Is cooking. This not only
whitens the rice, but separates the
grains.
Bacon will not .shrink while trying
if it has been Clipped into dour.
Plans are taking shape for the in-
stitution of a regular air service be-
tween Manchester and Blackpool, con-
sisting of a daily trip that will take
40 minutes for a. journey that takes
twice that time by the fastest trains
at present. The existing round-trip
fare for the Manchester -Blackpool
trip is 413, but expectations are that
thiswillbe reduced to aproximately
£1 for the single journey, with the
possibility of further reduction if
Larger machines can be employed for
the journeys.

Sport in Br
London -Great Britain must or-

gliding is to become anything but the
sport of a few enthusiasts.
That is the view which Herr Kron-

he discussed the possibilities of glid-

— 1 Keep Cool
Copenhagen Union Purchase Island It you wish to Beep cool,
To Be Used as Children's Playground
Copenhagen.—Alter somewhat pro-
tracted negotiations the Union of
Copenhagen municipal teachers have
bought the charming island of Thorn,
off the coast of Fubnen, itself an Ss-
land, and almost opposite the ancient
and picturesque town of Aesens. The
rseent owner had spent large sums of
money on it and, amongst other things
had erected a colossal bronze monu-
ment
of the old Northern godThor af-
ter
ter whom the island is called, and
which cost twice as much as the
teachers have paid for the whole' is-
land, with .residence, ,outbuildings,
museum and s., forth. The Copen-
hagen Municipality has guaranteed the
purchase sum.
The purpose Is to turn this island
into a holiday resort or "colony," as
they call it in Denmark, for Copen-
hagen school children, and for which,
purpose it is simply ideal. Some more
cows will have to -be added to the live
stock, so that there will be milk
enough for 'the children who are to
spend their holidays there.
There will be an "all theyear
round" colony for children, and this
section of the work will naturally en-
tail regular teaching of the children.
There is ample accommodation for the
teachers. Tins is the first venture
here in the matter of an "all the year
round" colony for children needing
care, and the innovation is being re-
garded arded withmuch interest. The build-.
lugs leave nothing to be de fired, being
equipped with central heating and
other modern instar'^tions and it is
expected that 100 children can be re-
ceived in the new home. •
The island, which in the past has
been much frequented by tourists, will
remain open to the public throughout
the year. Denmark is rich.` in islands
along her extensive coasts; they num-
her about 50 and 'Thorn Island now
will become a children's sanctuary.
Don't be a fool
And worry about this and that;
Don't think of the heat,
Tu your talk be discreet,
Relax like a well-behavel cat.
If you wish to keep cool
Don't be a fool
And eat many .things to excess;
To be well and strong,
Stop habits alt wrong,
Masticate more and eat less.
If you wish to' keep cool
Don't be a fool
Be prudent in all that you do;
Keep your mind calm and sweet;
Ignore baste and heat—
So here's a cool summer to you!

The Lace Box
Sylvia came running to her mother
with a piece of lace. "May I have
this to dress up with? I want to be
a queen."'
"Mercy no! Where did you find my
Venetian lace bertha?"
'It was in a box on the closet self,
and you don't wear it any more!" A
quiver was appearing in Sylvia's chin.
Mrs. Burnet was just putting on her
hat, but she tookitoff, and going to
the closet, carried the lace box to the
bed. A pang of memory shot tbiough
her. She could remember ber own
mother geutly unwrapping the blue
tissue paper covers, taking out a cbrie-
tening robe and saying: "Three Syl-
vias have been christened in this
dress. See the lovely little puffs, and
the lace .it is trimmed with is real
Valenciennes." Now a fourth Sylvia
had been christened in that same
dress—leer own little Sylvia who was
locking at her with tears of disap-
poiutment. The laces in the box were
scrambled by hurried little fingers,
and on one wrapping was a black
smudge.
'That's my fault," thought Mrs. Bur-
net, "for not having taught her about
these beautiful things."
She unfolded the point lace wedding
veil that lay inside and began to tell
all she knew about the way it was
made; how the peasants gathered
great bundles of flax and soaked them
is water until the thick jacket of the
stem trotted away leaving the tiny
tangle of white fibers beneath; how
it was combed and then spun Into
threads, and how the patient women
sitting on their doorsteps in the sun
worked away day after day, and some-
times 3'ear after year, on the same
pattern, putting in the flowers and
tendrils and dainty traceries; how cer-
tain families had been so noted for
h
their lace
-malciug Y h that they had
come
to make lace only for the kings and
queens and royal princesses.
"Do the Indians make lace, Moth-
er?" Sylvia asked.
"Not if you mean the American in
diens," her mother answered. "Some
of the . tribes make embroidery, but
they have never trade lace, at least,
not until taught by white people. Some
civilized nations have never made any
of importance, either, but you and I
would need to travel a good many
