CANCER 01" THE BREAST CAN BE DIAGNOSED COBRECTLY BEADILY

I have written before of the two women who postponed having lumps in the breast examined be- fore taking a lengthy trip with their families. because they thought the lump might be cancer and the whole family disappointed about having to cancel their trip.

No one knows how much these women suffered in mind during the trip as they thought of the cancer and its terrible effects after they arrived home. When they were ex- amined by a surgeon when they leached home he found that these lumps in the breast were simply enlarged milk glands, not cancer. and they had worried unnecessar- lly during all the months of their travel.

While they were fortunate in having an innocent Lump in the breast, this is not the usual con- dition in a. woman oe-tween forty and sixty. What we all should re- member is that any lump in the breast may be cancer and it should not be a question of "wait and see" but "look and see."

Cade. Surgc-all to Westminster Hospital. London, states that the commonest site of cancer in women ls the breast and accounts for 20 per cent of cancer deaths in women. And yet cancer of the breast is the most favorable of all sites for treatment with the excep- tion of the skin. so favorable is it that the patient may live with it untreated for over three years. This is unfortunate in one sense. as the patient may get so used to the lump in her breast that she says nothing to he doctor about fr. until it spreads to glands in shouder or neck. Dr. Cade says that these lives could be saved by early diagnosis and selection of the best method of treatment.

Some tic-n't regarding breast cancer are:

1. Don't wait for nipple to be "drawn in". attached to tissues below, because this does not al-

ways occur. 2. Don't wait for skin changes about nipple. Don't wait for adjoining

glands to enlarge as this is often a sign that it is too late for any (mm of treatment.

Diagnosis. the right diagnosis. can be made in every case of breast cancer by biopsy-cutting out a small piece of the growth and examining it under the mic- roscope.

Now calves fed, we could hear James and the black dog turning the cows to pasture - the three which at present give the place its re- quirement of milk. "Well." James had commented. picking up a milk-stool with an encouraging display of industry. "let's not quibble over which of us will milk the odd cow. Ellen." He stopped to help one of grallddaughler's kit- tens over the doorstep. "Well let the best man hate her!"

DOROTHY DIX SAYS- ,;

, Love Tesi

Practical-Joke No Way To Prove Alfeclion

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a medical. studentkengaged 10 8 IW": derful girl. Now the talk around here is that girls who become feli- goged to medical students are strictly social climbers and we laws have devised a test to weed out the pale- sites. In essence, the test is this: to.inform the girl that you are giving up your studies and are

taking a job tsuch as clerk or teacher) so that you may be married HEM BWBY. Md 599 lmw she reacts.

I do have an infinite amount of faith in the girl, but am fascinated by the test and intend to try it out. Probably I am doubtful of her loyalty Si . . because 1 was not very successful with girls until

'. ,,..d I became a. medical student.

Don't tell me that this is a low trick: I know that, but I do want a wife who'll stick out the coming meager years without nag- ging and pushing. I have a strong conviction that love is based on character and what a person is-not on what :16 does. Do you think this is too harsh on the girl if she loves me.

, JOHN

ANSWER: I'm glad at least you have the decency to realize that the plan you have in mind is a low trick! If you :0 lllmugll with this test. and your girl finds out about it. I hope she gives you your walking papers right quick. Just where do you getgthe idea, anyway. that medical students are such a catch? If you were as conceited before you began to study medicine as you are now, I dont wonder you weren't too successful with girls. ,

VVHA1: CAN YOU OFFER

You sound as though you were bestowing the wealth of the Indies on your prospective bride. What. actually. are you offerml; her? As the wife of a young doctor she will have. in addition it- her own housework and family, the duties of an office nurse and secretary (presuming that you aren't wealthy enough to afford these luxuries). She will be expected to be quite active in the social life of the community - no one will want a doctor whose wife is too re- served to participate in such affairs. Everything about her must be above reproach; her house must be spotless. her clothes good but not flashy, her grooming perfect, and she must maintain an impartial attitude toward all. No one in town, with the exception of the min- ister's wife, is open to so much criticism as Mrs. Doctor, and be- lieve me. it's no fun trying to please everyone. r

Her sleep, of course, will be constantly broken by telephone calls and her days will be well occupied listening to the ailments. mostly imaginary, of all the women in town. And you expect to prove ll girl's ability to do all this by a practical joke! You'd better turn your head over to a fellow student and have it examined!

DEAR MISS DIX: Has a girl of 18 the right to go out once in a while with a. decent boy? I have only gone to a dance once, but my parents object: to it and think I have done a terrible thing. Am I wrong to want to have some pleasure and nice boy friends?

ANSWER: Certainly not. It is the most natural thing in the world because you are at the playtime of life when you have a right to all the innocent fun you can get. Your parents should help you to have all the good times you can instead of trying to thwart you. For girlhood lasts such a little time and the cares of life come so soon upon a woman. and after she is married and settled down. no matter how, happy and content she is. she still lacks the gay, care- free henrt of youth.

There are queer things about parents. One is that it is so hard for them to realize that their children ever grow up and are en-
