To some the giving of pain to

Men disagree. So will men and women.

It is the man who is spending an
utterly useless life who is forever
running down the lives of others.

Never underestimate the power or
influence of others. Even a drone in
a bee hive has some purpose for being
there.

When you have done the best you
could in this world, angels could do
no better. But what a difference
there is between men and angels.

It takes strong men to stand up under
the strain of a campaign such as
the candidates are now making for
the United States Senate.

It is a mistake for anv m?n tn

Life was never destined to be a
pathway strewn with roses all the
way. Why was Adam ordered to earn
his living by the sweat of his brow.

Why send off the money to mail order
houses thus helping to put a
crimp in the sails of the local retailer?
It is neither fair nor right.

The man who is interested in lib
local affairs and who wishes to see hb
neighbors thrive as well as himself
will spend his money at home with
his home merchants.

What will you do with the man whc
starts in to talk to you and shoots
questions at you faster than you ear
answer them? Just let the questions
go unanswered.
* * *
Trade with the people who are voui
neighbors in the same town and thus
keep the money at home where it will
circulate and circulate again. It is
bad policy to send it, off to the bin
stores in the large cities.

There are but few political jobs
in this State that carry a good salary,
Why some men will go through the
fire and flood that they do in trying
to be elected to them is more we
could ever understand.
The candidate for public office has
to count on spending: as much for
charity as he can spare, his gifts limited
only be the size of his pile. A
candidate seems to think that any request
for aid made to him must be
met by his hearty response or he may
lose votes by refusing-. ' This is a mistaken
idea as we see it.

Is marriage a failure as the numberless
records in the divorce courts
would indicate? It is a success when
husband and wife recognize the weakness
that nature, has placed in both
and they determine to forgive and
forget. When they are not willing to
forgive each day if necessary it would
have been best to remain single.
? * *
This paper is in favor of trading
at home with the home merchants instead
of sending money away to the
large cities giving others with whom
we are not concerned, the benefits of
the profits. To that end we have arranged
for a series of editorial artic
les which wiil appear in this paper
from time to time. We hope they will
be read by everybody.

The campaign for the United States
Senate gets hotter a.id hotter as the
meeting's go on. Already il has more
than outstripped the weathc r. Pollock
and Jennings easily find the material
with which they can attack the
records of Please and Smith, and
neither of them has been mild in the
attacks. Like as not before the campaign
is over some of these four
candidates will come to blows. Smith
has said that no man can call him a
liar and get off with it. It is so easy
in the heat of a hot campaign to say
that the other fellow has lied in the
course of his speech, especially when
there is no easy way in which the
statements he has made can be successfully
contradicted.

The habit of reading is a good way
to store up knowledge if the reading
is done in the right way. The habit
some people have fallen into of scanning
what they read, often failing to
get the true sense of the words on the
the printed page and really getting
the wrong idea that the writer meant
to convey, is worse than no reading
so far as knowledge is concerned. A
man will learn much from looking
and listening in the right manner,
and if he has learned to depend on
these he will store up much from observation,
and that knowledge gained
in that way is of more use than
what is retained from hurried readin*

You may hate to work and labor in
the avocation or profession that you
have chosen. At times your lot may
seem hard and that your job certainly
must be the hardest of any man's
on earth. You may long for the enervating
atmosphere of the mountains
or the cooling breezes of old ocean to
rest your nerves. You may decide
like some already have that work and
labor are not necessary for you, at
least that you are not obliged to do
it, that you can get along without it.
But you can always remember that
there is a .satisfaction coming to the
man who does his work and does it
the very best he can, and who sticks
to his post through thick and thin,
serving others day in and day out;
such as can never come to him who
shirks. No matter how hard the task
may become there is never any real
pleasure in quitting. The reward
comes through patiently sticking to it.

Measurements of human eyes demonstrate
that there is probably nc
such thing in the world as an absolutely
perfect eye. That would be a miracle
which Nature with all her infinite
ingenuity has never performed
No human face among all the world's
sixteen hundred million may be hel(
perfect, either artistically or phisiologically.
To the owner of the face
this is relatively an unimportant matter,
but to the owner of the pair ol
eyes an error of one thrce-hundrcdtl
; of an inch in the curvature or dimen
; sions of the eyeballs may make theii
all-important function abnormal, re
i suiting in eye-strain with its attend
ant physical ills. The eye responds
to the slightest physical force
in the world, that is, light waves
which are hundreds of millions o
times more infinitesimal than soum
waves. The eves nve V?o..n?o<

worked of all organs, and the safetj
and existence of human lives frcquently
depend directly on their accurate
working. The harmful result*
? of eye-strain, never wholly absenl
I throughout life, may begin very earl>
! in childhood, even in the second year
' Many little children, for instance, an
constantly tearing their clothes, hurting
their foot and legs, stumbling am

Probably 6 per cent of children are I J
left-handedness left eyedness causing
left handedness. From 6 to
10 years of age many children show
an incomprehensible "nervousness,"
twitching of the hands and face, tickle
appetite and various disorders, all usually
due to eye-strain. Yet almost ^
all of these cases cf eye-strain can be
relieved, and should be relieved in aM
early childhood. The importance of tn
correcting this condition early in the sa
child's school years, and the influence fG
of such a condition in the education
and development of the child must be ,
apparent to every parent and teacher.

DELAY IN CANCER.
be
In the present state of knowledge
the chief hope of reducing the cancer pc
death rate is found in early recognition
of the disease followed by pi
prompt and competent surgical i pC
treatment. Thousands of lives now!
needlessly sacrificed could be saved if
the average cancer patient would go
il i i n.?
iu a mu j.',vw:i iis promptly as (iocs me | ""
average person attacked by appendi- |
citis. Nor is there any reason why l0;
the cancer patient should not seel:
this, the only safe treatment with the r
^ f o
same high degree of confidence in the
outcome that is now common among
those suffering from the latter (lis- hi
ease. Unfortunately, the evidence is th
only too clear that a different attitude
toward cancer prevails and occasions
O 2
many preventable deaths. The almost
*
superstitious dread of the disease and
the unwillingness to admit its exis- i
tenco or to seek medical advice in av
time are well known and difficult ok- ,
I staclcs to progress in its control, j ^
i IYo< f of this fatal neglect is found in ! ^
. ! the experience of a New York surgeon
l who recently studied his case records
in order to obtain definite informa.
tion as to delay in the averago#*case. to
Among his last two thousand pa- !
tients there were 86 cases of cancer. ^
Sixty five of these had never been op- :
erated on, and came to him as new ^
cases. Of the 65 patients, 35 were
' men and 30 were women. Further n<
study of these 65 cases showed that eg
after the first discovery of a tumor,
or after the first suspicious symptoms
the men had waited an average of
' 1 mnntVlC /inncnlf!.-./. > -~U-. #Vl
?...u..v<>u uviui v. vuuouiuiijk; u jj?y j 1,1
sician, and the women had waited fr
11.9 months; practically a year's de- ; m
lay in all cases. Another well known
1\^
confirmed this estimate from his own
experience. Winter of Koenigsberg, | V-1
Prussia, the pioneeer in the education tl
' of the public in regard to cancer, an- T<
alyzed the records of J,002 operable s
cases and showed that 87 per cent, of j
these patients could and should have j
applied for treatment much earlier, j
; when they would have had a far high- in
. er chance of recovery than was ac- I A
tually the case.
To the delay after the symptoms
r , ,j.r
are manifest must bo added the indef- J
. inite time after the beginning of the in
1 disease before the patient recognizes ni
the trouble. This period can be shortened
by education. Fortunately the
symptoms of cancer are present quite
early and can usually bo recognized '
if the patient understands their im- j 1}1
; i portance. In too many instances, j so
however, the disease is not suspected
until the symptoms are pronounced n(
; or until there is a tumor of consider1
able size. If we assume that this
period averages six months, and then s<
1 add the year's delay for which the n1
patient is responsible, we find that the
average patient does not seek advice
until at least a year and a half after jn
' the onset of cancer. This precious
time thrown away means, if not fatal
outcome, at least a serious instead of
a minor operation. Science has not O
yet found the cause of cancer. It is sc
1 not known how it is contracted or m
how it is transmitted from one patient
to another. We do not know
how to prevent it. Some day we will P(
' know. Meanwhile, cancer is increasj
ing rapidly. The best advice and the rp
only advice that can be given to the
public, with our present knowledge,
' is, to have every suspicious sore or
lump removed and removed early.
