—PLAY ENJOYED-‘flie Wom- en's mstltute of Tyne Valley put on a. very nice play in the hall on Wednesday evening. The hall was filled to capacity with an apprecia- tive audience. A number of friends motored from Smnmerside and some from the west of the Prov- ince. The play entitled “Home Ties" in four acts was well acted by lo- cal talent and speaks well for the dramatic art of the community. Between the acts‘ some very inter- esting numbers were put on and received much merited applause. Miss Violet Richardson of Sum merslde gave one of her delightful readings. Mr. George Bownesa ac- companied by Miss Sue Meadows sang in his well known. pleasing manner. Miss Tuplin of Alberton gave a wonderful exhibition of step dancing. During the evening instru- mental music was played by a local orchestra. Ice cream was sold be- t/wcen the acts and at the close of the performance ice cream and cake were served by the ladies. A vote of thanks was extended to all those who took part in the per- formance and to the audience for their attendance by the chairman, Mr. Ellis, on behalf of the W. I.

MARLBOROUGH HEIR LONDON SHOPKEEPER.

LONDON, Mlay 18—-Heir l0 the fortune and vast estates of the Dukedom of Marlborough, the 35 year old Marquess of Blandford is the latest English aristocrat f0 tum shopkeeper.

He is the eldest soon of the ninth Duke of Harlborough by his first wife, the former Consuelo Vanderbilt of New York, who di- vorced the Duke in 1920 and mar- ried Colonel Jacquet Malaam. ‘of France the following yeur.

MBEIF. Poultry. eggs and butter from his estate of Lowesby Hull, Leicester-shire, form the basis of the new venture, and the Marquess has opened up attractive premises in the heart of London's fashion- able Mayfair for their sale. '

Good business was reported.

Lord Blandford explained that he has been running his country farm for about six years, primarily to provide work for the estate hands,

“During that time I sold most of the produce to a number of 14m- don stores," he said, “then 50mg 0! my friends suggested that I open a. etore.

"Already we are doing good bu“-

neee, and the first day we had to eend Poet haste to the farm for another supply of butter. This p, rather remarkable because we charge high prices for it. But cos. tomere are allowed to taste the butterand they realize it is very good. "And," tho shopkeeper who is heir to 20,000 acres and a former Guards captain said proudly, "our eggs are never more than two days old."

Visitors 0f Olden Days

LONDON, Ont, May 18-—(C.P.)-— Peggy Wadson in the London Free Press tells of itinerant visitors to the farms in the old days:

“For instance, there was Gypsy

dark skin brightened handkerchief or dangling earrings, and carrying most fascinating treasures in her cwpacious sack of wares. ‘Buy a bit of nice lace, lady?’ she would ask in iingratiat- i118 tones. Or, ‘Want a pretty rib-

were none too frequent days and almost farmhouse door would be opened to Gypsy May and seldom did she dc- part urithout leaving behind hcr the bit of nice lace, or the pretty ribbon, or anyway, B, spool 0g lhfflfld and paper of pins, while the farm women's hard-earned pennies jingled in her purse. “Another day it would be a dusky Red Skin and his squaw who tied softly along the road, he, his arms well filled with axe handles. walk- ing a few steps in advance of the woman and her burden of hand- made baskets.

"The itinerant tinker was an- other visitor whose advent was gen- erally welcomed by the dweller in remote rural parts. This personage usually drove a. horse and buck. bolrd and paid for overnight m- commodation by soldering house. hold utensile, riveting harness and 8110b like jobs. He also carried a 511111113’ 0f new‘ tinware and the housewife was loath to see him dc- lmrt without lightening his loud by at least one shiny new paiil or bread pan or dish of some sort. Perhaps no less looked forward to was the annual visit of the rag man, who also carried a quantity of tinware and other kitchen uten- 811-1. which he exchanged for the year's gathering of clippings mm T888, old iron or rubbers. ' "Kodaks and snapshots were u“- heard of things in thoeo days. 1: 0119 Wlnted one’s ‘likeness taken‘ it meant rising with the lurk and mam"! 8- tflp to the city, often behind a team and wagon, ovu- rough roads.

“Then, of course, there were various kinds of llgelltfi-lmddlufl they were called in those days, who, if they dldn’t travel in auto- mobiles, probably used much the same line of sales talk as the men ‘of today. Spectacle peddlars were

‘not uncommon. ‘Why go to the eye doctor?’ they would ask {and pay more when you can fit yourself right at home for only $1.’ Then there were men who sold lovely plush albums and dignified Bibles; others dealt in such novelties as stereopticons with views, or kaleid-

NEW YORK, May l8~—A.n agree- mcnt of Manhattan ministers not to quote “sentimental poetry about motherhood" in their sermons yes- terday, but to demand that the roofs not be token from over the heads of thousands of New York ,Cli.y mothers facing eviction this unonth was disclosed by Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick.

“This is Mother's Day, on which we ministers are commonly sup- posed to speak with lovely semi. mcnt about motherhood," the preacher said as he spoke from the pulpit of the Riverside Church. built largely with funds contribut- cd by John D. Rockefeller.

“The stern fact ls, however, that in this supposedly civilized city thousands of mothers are facing eviction this month. Private charity has broken down; the City Govern- ment has broken down; public no- tice has been given that no more money is available to save mothers and children from eviction; and in consequence o. flood of disposeese notices already has been let loose.

“Thousands of mothers, there- fore, on Mother's Day are facing the imminent loas of even shelter for their children, nothing can enve them, so for as I can see, except an overwhelming public demand that in this emergency the City Government simply muet not break down."

Cancer-Its Cause and Control

._._- (By Dr. B. C. Keeping) What is Cancer? Briefly, Cancer

May» who came 810118 Yearly. he!‘ oscopes-these being tubeiike ws- is anuncontrolled growth, or rather by gray‘ c5, through which one peekflL a; overgrowth, of certain tissues of the

ibody. Practically all tissues may be affected by one or other of the vari- ,ous forms of the disease, but the point .1 wish to emphasize is that Cancer growth is always, in the first I instance, a. purely local condition.

Medical science has not yet deter- mined the true cause of the disease, if it can be assumed there is only one common cause for all forms of the condition. It is known and re- cognlzed, however, that chronic 1r- ritations of various kinds bear a very definite relation to the development of Cancer in certain areas-as in the case of Cancer of the mouth, skin, and certain internal organs. Many investigators have suspected or con- demned certaln forms of dietary in- dlscretions in connection with atom- ach and intestinal cancers, but no ‘proof of this theory exists at pres-

ent, other thun Cancer has increas-

ed among civillzed peoples, with the I attending changes of ‘diet ‘which m- variably accompany civilization. Cancer can best perhaps be dea- crlbed as an accelerated local growth “of certain cells of the body tissues, Iwithout any organized control, into I tumors, with gradual invasion into ‘other tissues of the body.

The preliminary report of the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics in- dicates that in 1928 the death rates per 100,000 of population for the provinces of Canada were as fol- lows:

Prince Edward Island 114 Ontario . .. ... 106 Nova Scotia. ... 104 British Columbia . ... 90 Now Brunswick ... 92 Manitoba .. 9'1 Quebec ..... '1'! Alberta "u"... 0b Saskatchewan . bit

All Canada

'I‘hie.tubie indicates that Prince Edward Island has the highest death rate from Cancer in the whole of Canada. Our provincial death rah from Cancer has been slowly but steadily increasing over along per- iod oLyears as is true in all other civilized countries. One notices from

from Cancer is lower in the prairie provinces but that can be easily ex- plained by these provinces having a much lower percentage of their po

ulation of the cancer are. Au t e population of the prairie provinoee more closely approximates the age

death rate will undoubtedly be e - liar to that of the older provin

and the whole of Canada. 1M‘ tn- etence, Saskatchewan in i900 eh ed e. death rate of only 8.8 per 100% of population and in 1028 ma a r to of 65.2 per 100,000. This large lu- crease WM chiefly due to their pop-

the above table that the death rate

groups of the older provinces. their

ulation becoming older and more people came within the cancer age

BTWPS-

Prince Edward Island's death rate of 114 from Cancer is not unduly high when compared with Denmark and Switzerland which each had 135 per 100,000 in 1026; Sweden 110 in 1923, Germany 10B in 1924, France '18 in 1925, England and Wales 188 in 1927. The increase in England and Wales has been constant since 1850 when the records were first made.

Now how can our death rate be controlled? As stated above, Can- cer ls at first a purely local disease and if treated at this stage almost one hundred per cent of cures can be obtained but, unfortunately, stat- istics show us that a great percent- age of cases are not‘ seen or diag- nosed until many are already in- operable, having advanced far he- yond the local condition from which

they started and invaded surround- I

lug tissues and frequently spread to other organs of the body.

To aid in more early diagnoses, the Department of Public Health is shortly going to circulate literature on Cancer, hoping to place some vital facts concerning Cancer in ev- ery home in the province.

The Department of Health is anxi- ous that this information be care- fully read by all adults and that any and all suspicious symptoms be immediately brought to the atten- tion of their family physician who will advise them concerning treat- ment shouid they require it.

To procrastinate is fatal for the disease spreads rapidly and never wus the old proverb "A stitch in time saves nine" more applicable than in the prompt reporting and treating of cancerous conditions.
