Cancer Grails . "l" 5"!"

Dr. Robert Bell is I British physi- clsn who he; been studyinc veneer for twenty-live years. making notes and print! them, and restoring to normal hea th people doomed, eith- er by their habits or their surge- ons, to die of cancer. Apart from his four books on the subject, (the lsteet entitled, "A Plea for the Treatment of Cancer Without Operation?) London. lilveieigh Nash). his successful xnlvate prac- tice. and his no loss successful practice at Batterses Hospital, his vice-presidency of the lnterantionsl Society of Cqicer Research, all combine i0 make it impossible to suppress entirely his contention that cancer h ctrraihle without eur- gery and not curable with it.

Dr. Bell's chief difficulty is that his method undermines both the surgical and medical vested in- iercst in disease. lt is generally admitted by surgeons themselves that cancer is not curable by surgery; indeed. some of them are shocked at the virulence with which cancer begins. or recurs, after operation. We use the word “lbeglnr advisedly, for Dr. Bell quotes oases in which there seems to be no doubt that the cancerous change followed the operation.

. Bell's contention that pati- ents die more quickly after opera lion than they do if left to the normal progress of the disease, robs surgery of its only claim to usefulness} in this respect; it does not prolong life. on the contrary, it shortens life-and lf that opinion becomes widely known and accept- ed lit will deprive the surgeons of a considerable portion of their in- come. .

The hostility of the surgeons to

Dr. Bell's method is intelligible; but the dietetic portion of the cure strikes no less surely at the inedi- cnl vested interest in disease. There\is nothtng more certain in fttedicllte than that errors of diet. with their accompanying disturb- hnces, tnalnuiricions, toxemiae of the organism- are at the root of many of the diseases that distress than. A reformed diet will certain- ly dlmimsh the demand for medi- cal attention; “an apple a tlay keeps the doctor away".'-and so long as the medical profession is organized for private profit. and not for public use, doctors are naturally chary of adopting or advising any- thing that might diminish the de- mand for their services, Until we learn to pay our doctors while we are well, and fine them when we are ill, we must expect them to be more interested in the discovery or invention of disease than tin its prevention or curs. But a scourge such as cancer is so horrible in its ravages that. let us hope, sim- pic humanity will override self- lntcrest. cs it does so often in in- dividual doctors and so seldom in the organized profession. Anyhow, the fact remains that the public have a right to know that cancer is both preventable and curable; and if the medical profession will not permit the circulation of that knowledge it L; the duty of filo pub.

The out- look for‘ Newfoundland holdings is not, however, felt to be so zood and it need surprise no one ll the 8t. John market should weaken considerably between now and the end of hlsy.

in the West indies, as in most other parts of the world. there is a great prevalence of labor disli- culties these days. Havana and other parts of Cuba. have had strikes and more recently there has been trouble in Porto Rico. These things are particularly bso for the fish trade, for not only do they mean that stocks are delayed in going into consumption, but ai» so that owing to the tropical heat there is bound to be considerable spoilage, and sometimes claims for such which do not exist. There is not the same “free and easy," "go as you please" sort of condition of things in the dried fish business today as there was during the wax period. Then it was simply a ques- trion of how to gel the supply, the price was relatively unimportant. But now, what with the world he- ing in t. social ferment, and “ex- change” with many counitrieg on the tdboszsn, the lot of the export- er is not nearly so happy. How- ever, if he is operating in the local market he can take comfort from the fact that he might be in a worse place.

Salvation Army Notes

Commissioner Lamb, of the Sal- vtation Armyi has just returned‘ from England. He foresees a big emigration shortly of agricultural workers. He states that Canada should be very careful not to erect artificial barriers against them. lie stays that Canada should not miss henopporiunity oi obtaining the best possible class of immi-- grants front the British isles. The population of the Britsih Isles is overflowing. if Canada is to get her share of the type of immigrants that is wanted here some of the barriers, which now stand in the way, will have to be lowered.

More Women Leaving. “The chief features of the new emigration movement will be in- creased numbers of women. Among the younger nfen, a greater propor- tion thsn formerly of those who (ltefora the war) had been follow- ing sedentary occupations will come. The fact that the latter came through the war proved that they were not unfit. But there has been a tendency, on the part of Canad- inn authorities in London, to dis- courage these men from coming to Canada."

Paid Own Flare. Commissioner Lamb states that when some of these men applied‘ for passages under the British Government scheme for dischar- ged sit-service men, they were re- ferred to the Canadian Emigra- tion Office for approval and were turned down. Nevertheless, by pay- ing their own fares. they were able to reach Canada $100 or so out oi pocketl

Animals Are Curious ._.._-

If Ilihody should salt you whleh animal you consider hls the most curiosity, your first implore would be to ssy the monkey. and, of course, it really is; but there are many wild and domestic animals having exceptional‘ development of their curiosity bumps.

For instance, there is the raccoon which has a “nose for news" that would do credit to any sleuth. Noth- ing escapes its searching eyes, nose or hand-like feet. which it takes delight in poking into- everything. Being by nature a night roving ani- mal, the raccoon-has a highly cle- veloped sense of smell that enables it to ferret out anything you may happen to have in your pockets, and though it may have no real use for the article it speedily utilizes

it as a toy. The raccoon is very, fond‘ of eggs, and to see the quizzi- cal look on its face when a china egg is substituted for the real thing

is quite amusing. "However, it is a

persistent brute and will toy with

the fake egg for an indefinite time

to satisfy its curiosity.

Squirrels also have much curiosity.

This is easily shown ‘by the readi-

ness of those in the park to investi-

gate anything you may hold in your

hand. Many of them will ransack

your pockets and even search down

the coat collar to satisfy their cur-

turesome enough to examine the con- tents of sacks thrown into the re- fuse con. probably in the hope that a good peanut has been left in it. lt is the curiosity of the goat that leads it to do many of its stunts, such as eating newspapers and oth- er equally ridiculous things. ‘Some zoologists claim that this animal has more curiosity than any, ex- cept possibly the monkey or poodle, and for that reason it is very diffi- cult to drive goats in a herd. They persist in breaking ranks, and if not noticed will calmly walk into any house along the road, roam through all the rooms, even going up to the second or third story to examine the different things that excite their curiosity.

Artists who have sketched out in the open have had great opportunity to observe the curiosity of cows. After he gets his easel and canvas set the cows continue grazing as before; but gradually draw nearer and nearer the strange objects they want to investigate. Probably the artist becomes much interested in his work and does not notice that the cows have soon formed s cir- cle around him, stretching out their necks in the effort to solve the mys- tery. They may be driven av/ny. but from time to time they return and repeat the same manoeuvre. Comic artists have taken this fact and treated it in various humor- ous ways, yet it ls nevertheless quite true, as many landscape pain- ters can testify. Other live stock is subject to the same element of curiosity, though horses usually vent theirs in running wildy about the field. Occasionally they will ap- proach the painter, and then, with a qlllCkjVlllFi, they are off for stu- other run. kicking their ileeis high in the air.

The curiosity of the dog is pro- nounced lf observed for a few min- utes. lt is quick-to notice a strange dog or person and the value of the watchdog comes from the fact that it wltflts to investigate every noise. it is very interesting to watch t1 dog when it meets a beetle. At first he seeing to be a little afraid of the tiny creature, but finally he can't rc- sist any longer, so he plucks up enough courage tto touch it with his paw. Then realizing that it has not hunt him he smells it and rolls it over and over with his nose. Then after he hag satisfied his curiosity he walks away and leaves the beetle to go its way if has not put it out ol‘ commission with the strenuousness of the investigation. Little boys 0i the Orient often capture lizards by catering if! the" curiosity. When one of them spies a lizard that has scurried into‘ a crevice he makes a sliitkilot of cQl- ored straw and holds it before the hole. After a time he is rewards: by seeing the tiny creature coming out to examine the curious thing before its den and later it actually puts its liesd into the noose. wlllCll is quickly drawn together by the watchful boY- _ Fish and frogs are equally curi- oue to examine the many brig!!! i re; that the fishermen know will atract their attention.
