NOW DOES CANCER SPREAD?
A cancer ie extremely email at first.
It consists at the beginning of a sin-
gle cell. If It were possible to dis-
daover a canner at this date there
would be n'o cancer deaths. The or-
iginal cancer grows by division of the
cell. The cell divides and sub -divides
rather rapld6y, far more rapidly than
the normal cells of one's body.
Through this division of sells, cancer
begins to insinuate itself into the
neighboring tissues of the body. At
this stage cancer is still', local and
readily cured. The length of time in
which a cancer remains local is un-
known; the period varies In different
kinds of cancer and in. different tis-
sues of the body.
After a time, cancer spreads by way

the book -"Cambridge Glass," Mrs.
Watkins modestly said the collection
bad little 'commercial value, but it
shad achieved its purpose, and Inci-
dentally bats stimulated the- activities
of many other persons. •
The earliest American bottles were

there is mention of bub few black bot-
tles,
ot
tles, as the mound type were far more
comanon, Early insventories 'mention
cares of bottles.,., English examples
are often identified by dates on the
side. Early in 1700 forms changed to
shorter necks, pudy body, ands she
bottom pushed up, bell-aihaped- To-
wards the middle of the century, the
sides became straighter, the necks
shorter, and the bell shaped bottom
made still deeper. As the 1700'e con
tinued,,.types became amore and more
slend'e'r.
The first clear. or fancy -colored bot-
tles in this country were made by
Baran Stiegel, who copied the import-
ed models, principally Dutch. To -day
we find many of Stiegel type, of Ger-
man origin but d f interior glass and
engraving. Sea captains chests con-
tain many interesting ones of this
sort. One most unusual shape whiclf
the speaker showed was like a tea
caddy, Stiegel type,, made for the
Boston 'market. Another was• laven-
der with ribbing, fragile, lovely, and
much . admireds
About 1765, smelling salts contain-
ers came in, the earliest not. having
glass dtoppers, but corks. Those with
molded esunburat on the side are
attributed to South Jersey., Both the
New England Glass factory at Cam-
bridge and the Bosten and Sandwich
'Coumpany made this �ahape. The New
England Glass Bottle. Company at
East Cambridge,, founded by Deming
nerves, made bottles from 1826 on,
and they advertised round and octa-
gon ,flasks, ink bottles, preserve jars,
sevensgailon wicker demi johns and
many other types. The Boston Crown
Glass Company had to promise to
make 4,000 bottles a year in order to
obtain 'tax exemption.
The speaker told of an interesting
experience within a year or two when
a wall at Harvard Hall, Cambridge,
was torn down and behind it were
found hundreds of • fragments of bot-
tles marked "New England Glass Bot-
tle Company."
Many were other types which Mrs.
Watkins mentioned, emphasizing the
fact that one can have mute fun, as
e ell as learn a great deal about glass
by collecting only bottles.
all over the body. The cancer cells
pass .through the lymatphatic veils
and are :1eeught up by the lymphatic
glands. •; Titus, for example, a cancer
of the breast will soo er later, if
it is not removed'lor, deettoyed, ap-
pear in the glands of the axilla- 'At
this stage cancer is no longer local.
It has become a serious matter for

removal not only of the affected or-
gan, but of all affected glands is es-
sential to cure at this stage.
At a later date, the cancer cells
spread through the blood vessels and
in this way reach the remotest parts
of the body. Thus a cancer of the
breast may appear iii abone, in the
lung, the liver, the brain or other
part. The spread of cancer is always
by means of its own cells. A cancer
which has spread from the breast to
the brain, tor example, is comyposeds
not of brain cells, but of breast cells.
This fact proves that cancer is spread
not through the medium of germs, but
by the dispersion of the cells of the
original cancer.
Cancer is a living thing, and, like
all living things, cannot last forever.
A few cancers reach the teem of their
natural life and die before they kill
the patient. What sometimes happens
is this: the dsoelor declares with truth
that an 'advanced cancer 'is hopeless-
ly inoperable, and that he can do no
more for the patient; the patient in
desperation tries some quack remedy.
Then the incredible thing happens;
she cancer begins to die and the pat-
ient begins to live again. Not one in
10,000 -cancers is so-.abliging as 4.o die
before its human host. The inorediple
tbing has happened through the can-
cer possessing a low order of vitality
or because of the high resistance of
the body. This fact is encouraging
because research into cancer may dis-
cover a means of accelerating the ex-
haustion of caner vitality or of in-
creasing bodily resistance to malig-

WITH RHUMATI SM
Wife Feared Husband
Would Never Work. Again
When cher husband had been at
home 20 weeks. with rheumatism' in
his back, this woman began to' think
he would never work again. At last,
she said to him: "Let's try Kras-
dhen" and the changethat took place
was, in her own words, "like a mir-
acle." Here; is her letter:
"My husband is subject to nheu-
metism and suffered terribly with his
back. ,Soule time ago, I had him in
the house 20 weeks with it. I really
didn't think be would ever work
again. We tried all the different kinds
of salts you could mention, but none
of them did him any good. Then I
said, 'Let's try Krusehen-' Sines theri,
we have proved Kruscben Salts to be
worth its. weight in gold. My husband
is, back at his job, thanks to Krus-
chen. The change it made is like a

' Two of the salts in Kruschen are
the most effectual solvents of uric
acid crystals known to science. They
swiftly dull the sharp edges of the
painful crystals and convert them in-
to a harmless solution, wlhdoh is than

"You'd like 't`o see a world without

were no insects, what wouldie:you eat?'
"Why--er—what I eat now," he re-
torted. "What's• that .got to do with

By that time I had Jones wavering:

he mused.
I had she advantage, so I pressed it.

WHAT TO EAT TO BE HEALTHY
Number Five
No . lees thin twelve minerals are
required , for art adequate diet, but
from a practical standpoint we need
only be concerned with a supply of
me
three of the, because if our diet is
at all a reasonable one, it will con-
tain adequate amounts of the other
nine. The three minerals that we
must watch are:
CALCIUM, the lack of„which caus-
es defective banes and teeth.
IRON, the lack of'which causes
atnaem4a.
IODINE, the lack of which causes
goitre.
There is a constant storage and use
ds
of 'calcium in the bones, ana person
may appear in the best of health, yet
skis bones may not contain as much
calcium as they should. In time, this
deflci�ency will interfere with the
health. For example, a pregnant wo-
man is likely to suffer from booth, de-
cay because there is a tremendous
drain on ber calcium resources. If
she does not have an, adequate
amount in ter diet, nature takes it
out of skier banes and teeth.
Our greatest sources of calcium are
milk and milk products. To get an
adequate supply, admitsslhiould con-
sume each day, close to a pint of
milk, while the growing child who is
forming new bones should take a
pint and a half of milk. Cheese is
an excellent source of calcium, too.
Iron is obtained largely frofr vege-
tables and fruits. Other sources+"are
eggs, liver ands kidney. •
Iodine is obbaiimed largely in sea
foods. People who live remote from
she sea have to depend Sanely upon
iodized salt as their source of this
mineral food.
The following foods give you min-
erals:
Milk and cheese, eggs, liver and
kidney, leafy vegetables such as cel-
ery, lettuce and cabbage, also fruits
and iodized salt.
Remember --milk and •cheese for
calcium; eggs, liver, kidney, vege-
tables and fruits for iron; and iodiz-
ed salt far iodine. .
Questions concerning Health, a d -
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 Oolle a Street, Toron-
to. will be answered personally by
letter.
The following foods give you car-
bohydrates:—
Sugar, molasses, candy, jam, mar-
malade, etc., bread and pastry, mac-
aroni and potatoes.
Our chief source of energy in foods
is carbohydrate, and if we did not
have this chief source of energy :n
the form of flours and sugars, with
their wonderful keeping qualities, our
modern civilization, with its huge
consumption of food, could not exist.
However, one must be careful, that
due to their use in tasty products
such as cakes, pastries, jams, candies,
etc., and their easy accessibility, one
does not consume an 'excess of these
and thus crowd out the other food
elements.And we now conclude this series of
articles on What To Eat To Be Heal-
thy by repeating what We said at the
outset.
Every day of your life, except dur-
ing illness, aims to -have a pint of pas-
teurized milk, which' includes that us-
ed in cooking, same meat, an egg, two
cooked vegetables besides potatoes,
and some raw fruit or vegetables. In
addition, during the winter months,
take a teaspoonful of cod liver oil
daily, or some other source of Vita-
min D.

its adsdition to vitamins and min-
erals, the falue of which we have
already discussed in this ' series of
articles on What To Eat To Be
Healthy, we must now ,consider the
three important food essentials known.
as proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
The followidg food's' give you pro-
teins :—
Meat, fish and poultry,' milk, eggs,
peas, beans and lentils, and flour, '
The list above indicates that there
are animal, vegetable and grain, pro-
teins. Phe most effective tissue build-
ers are she animal proteins.
The following foods give you. fats:
Butter and cream, bacon and other
fab meats, lard and vegetable oil,
shortening and yolk of egg.
Fats are used dhiefly to Supply heat
or energy. They are also ese,ential
for the normal meta'belism or work,
ing in the body: If some of the fatty
acids oantained in fats are withheld,
the h'eallth of the individual Will be
seriously impaired. The p r o p, e r
,amount of fats Will be furnished if
one consumes two ounces• of fat per

came to a luncheon over which I pre-
sided at Geneva and althoug9h I made,
4t clear to hire that it might be 'inad-
visable, considering the mixed com-
pany, to be too frank, even in .a so-
called "confidential” ting. be -'
laid Ms 'cards on she table with breath
taking completeness. I have never
quite decided whether the was artless-
ly trustful, or whether be was ex-
ceedingly artful om this occasion, well
aware that bus views would be spread
abroad without compromising him, or
his Government,—.too much, since there
could be no direct publication.
Some years before .the World War,
winern I was, a young man in London,
I was take to the House of Com-
mons by a distinguished editor, and
introduced to Sir John Simon. He
had then been appointed to high of-
fice under the Liberal Government,
although he himself was remarkably
young. We Malted in the lobbies
amid she coming and going of excited
politicians, and our conversation was
interrupted by repeated calls for the
presence in the House of the 'rising
lawyer from his chief.
'llhat was) the beginning of a cer-
tain association of nearly thirty years.
For I went to edit a political paper
in the constituency of Sir John Sim-
on. It was a queer experience, of
which I could write insuch. But the
immediate port. is that, :by virtue of
my relation to the Member of Parlia-
ment, I accompanied him on,his
rounds at election time, a'nd sme-
times spoke on the same platform.
There is. of all the men with whom
I have dome into contact, no readier
speaker, no better improviser, than
Sar John; but it was nevertheless his
custom to have typed and to mem-
orize the salient, paragraphs of his
utterances.
I have often sat, with a sheet of
paper in my band, following the
words of the orator; and have mar-
veled to find that he changed not 'a
syllable in the delivery. Ile was as.
letter-perfect as • an actor. Yet he
could, if he chose, fashion the most
polished sentences on his feet; and it
was to me a ,lesson, wihi'oh.. I never
forgot, of the desirability, however
well equipped by nature one may 'be
fes any emergency, to leave nothing
important to chance.
He 'left the Government because
he dissented from its project of con-
scription, during the World War, but
be joined the Royal Air Force him-
self and went to France. Et is a pity
that his keen intelligence was not
employed in the peace -making; he
As 'he often, in this interviews with
newspapermen,. appealed to me for a
sort of corroboration, especially is
French .matters, I took the liberty one
day of being perfectly candid. The
Council of tibe League bad condemned
Germany for rearming in violation of
the Versailles Treaty, though every-
body else was rearming. "Did you
observe, Sir John," I said, "how the
Council was composed? The Cheir-
man was the delegate of Turkey
which •immediately tore up the Treaty.
of Sevres' altogether,. and: was reward-
ed with a new Treaty at Lausanne.
Then there was the delegate of Rus-
sia which broke its war pledge to the
Allies and afterwards repudiated the
Treaty of Brest -Litovsk with Ger-
many. Poland was represented and,
Poland Ibis just publicly denounced
its Minorities Treaty. As for the
countries which have unilaterally . set
aside their debts contracts with the
United States! I mean, all the mem-
bers 'of the Council have torn up
treaties—if it is only their obligation •
in she Covenant to reduce armaments
—and there there is surely some ir-
ony in their sitting in judgment on
Germany."
Sir John reflected before be re-
plied: "But did you not observe that
in my speech I said that our criti-
cisms must also apply to ourselves?
I£ I had not, then certainly we could ,
have been described as sanctimon-
ious humbugs!"
He is undoubtedly one of the most
intellectual of the British politicians.
He takes, paind to understand. Long
ago he could, had ' be chosen, navel

Lord Chancellor of England. But. he
declined.
