It is the real propji and spur of civilisation. !; An ideal government may be liken- {1 , ed to a husbandman in an orchard of i 1 ? vast dimensions filled with fruit trees!of all known families. The function'j< of irees is to bear wholesome fruit '1 I in due season after blossomign to the ; i end that life may be exalted. All the | roots of all the trees vie with each i : other in contest for the freely given t| fertility of the earth. The forces of ?: iia:ure so regulate the life giving n?r ierial that the willing plant usually .survives. It is when a people are so j fully engaged in the pu rsuits of life's opportunities that they evolve a noble . ",end. The i3eal government is moral andj intelligent as well as efficient iA oil! its dealings whether its power ranges ' jp.5 far as opportunity invites or not.' Such a government regulates the in-1 terest one and universal. A whole- J some understanding and appreciation of human progress wiil show indeed; E>:the adequacy of this froce in any hu-l I man society. A streak of childhood I weaknesses and cross purposes often! L < o nfronts the person who is not as V alert as could be hoped. When a gov- j BNfl^ment shall cherish the imperish-!( W able things of a people, happy are'. F| they. There is an ever present source!, it' -of Strength for the ruling power to K draw upon for guidance and support' in the knowledge of the forces that j. make for progress. \( It is ours to see how justice is be- J: ing meted out, and not only-.to; know j Vxhe great things of truth that others j ihave contributed, but to add right-j, eousness and warm genuine con-fid-1 . ence of the people, in the people's , government for the people.

' j Prom the priest-physician of an- j cient times, the medical profession in- j rv herited and still retains the high! ideals and altruism of the priest-j I hood. This idealism is expressed in; the avowed main purpose of physi-! Kcians?"to relieve suffering and pro-: H long life." Guided by this idealism! H-modem medicine is the accomplishWf ment of the medical profession, sani-! F tarians and other scientists. With the necessary cooperation of en enlightened educated public, the application % *? _ * i or Known ana irsea rename means oi-[ prevention has lowered the death rate! < of tuberculosis of tjie lu?g$!,?the ^ " >rr<at white plague, fifty per cent orj wore, and has well nigh eradicated typhoid fever, typhus fever, yellow ..fever, diphtheria, cholera, malaria, 1 . small-pox, bubonic plague and other ! [ diseases which have killed thousands ( u^on thousands of people in the past. _JThrough the efforts of the medical} ^ rofession, nobly supported by phi-P |Btnthropic citizens in the educationI' f the public, the death rate among h ^Brfants and children due to diarrhoe- P i and other diseases, has fallen inP ^ any communities to a fraction of ' I former mortality. All this has i' teen accomplished by the unceasing 2 fTorts of physicians and public health J corkers in educating the public and n the rational application of reliable uethods of disease prevention, and in he utilization of scientific means of ^atment. HB Today physicians are fighting an- j ^Bther dreadful plague,?CANCER. " K/This disease has no terrors for the i M^-uung for the death toll of this (lis- ( ease is not taken until mid-life. After < ^Lne age of forty cancer becomes one J the most potent agencies of the ' ^^^-gel of Death. Under the efficient ! |^H-dership of the American Society \ the Control of Cancer, the medial profession has announced that the * ^^H-ek of November 12 to 18 is to be ( ^^ nation-wide "Cancer Week" aevotto the attempt to educate the peo-1 W"?I?? II pie to recognize the early symptoms >f Cancer, in order that its victims nav obtain prompt assistance and ;heck the trouble in its beginning ivhen a cure can be effected. When ;he disease is far advanced it is always fatal; there is NO LATE cure for concer. In the EARLY recogni;ion of cancer lies the hope of cure! Ninety thousand people die yearly )f cancer in the United States and :he number of deaths from this disease is steadily increasing. Many of :hese lives could .be saved if the reatment of the disease were begun in time. Today ninety thousand peo pie have cancer in an early ana curable stage; a majority of these will die of the disease unless they seek treatment in time to be cured. Is it not still true, as of old, that are are our brothers' keepers? Will ^ou not help this cause by informing (roui'self of the early signs and symptoms of cancer and by spreading the news to others? We ask you to help :hese sufferers before it is too late by joining in the Cancer Week activities . Above all. inform yourselves as to the early symptoms of Cancer! fPnrrmhlets of information can be obtained from the American Society for the Control of Cancer, a purely philanthropic educational association, the office of which is at 370 Seventh avenue, New York City.)

Cotton can be ! grown profitably under weevil eondi-j Uions. it was said, but a small acreage j must be planted so that it can be giv-; en close attention.

S. u C\. declared toaav their confidence ! 11 that South Carolina, bv virtue of a : . T flitting appropriation of the legislature, will cooperate with the govern-j1' .1 . o ment in the enterprice. it is pointed cut that it is essential j that the bill carrying appropriationj be enacted into law early in the ses- i sion, preferably January, in order j. that experimentation for the destruc-!,.

The department of agricul-' f ture has entered upon a determined jq campaign to destroy the weevil. j v i Efforts to unifv various reconimen-js dalions made by different states to-1 ward assisting cotton growers in com -; d bating the bo!! weevil menace will be j o made at a conference, to be held in b connection with the meeting of the \ p Land Grant College association at 's Washington Xcverr.ber 23.

Among the j v important questions to be discussedjS will be encouraging the growth of un- j ^ iform varieties of cotton in eomrr.un-j1 ities and uniform time of planting, j3 The opinion is exresed by the de-.1 f partment of agriculture that if agree-j nrent could be reached on uniform j varieties, and time of planting, that ( one-third of the boll weevil problem ; would be solved. . c The plan of calling the ccnferenee? originated with Dr. H.
