A table based upon an averane! year's statistics of' the United States Bureau of the Census shows the orcans in which cancer is: likely to occur. It is published in the bulletin of the Women's Field Army to fight cancer. The number of cases of cancer cf the lip, cf the tongue, of the mouth, of the jaw and throat, do not average three-quarters of 1 per cent, whereas the number of eases of cancer in the stomach and intestine average 35 per cent. This, means that less than one in every 100 cases of cancer occur in or about the mouth, whereas 35 per cent or 35 in every 100 occur in the stomach and intestine.

About five in every 100 cases occur at the very lowest end of large bowel (rectum and anus). About 12 in every 100 occur in Uterus in women and about 10 per cent in the breasts. Skin cancers account for less than three in every 100 cases. The lesson from the above Is plain. Any unusual bleeding from the uterus and any persistent lump in the breasts should be Immediately reported to the family physician.

LITTLE BENNY'S By LEE This was Nora's day off on account of Thursday, and ma was in the kitchen getting things ready for dinner and I was in there watching, and ma said, My goodness how time flies, it's proverbial and it's true. This salt cannister is half empty already and it must of taken a month to use that much salt, yet it seems hardly a week since I filled this cannister with a new bag of salt. My, talk about the sands of time, she said. You mean talk about the salts of time, ma, I said. And anyways, ma, time dont fly as fast as you think, I mean it dont always, I said, and ma said, I'suppose not.

In fact that's quite a fillosophical remark, because when I think of all the drudgery and all the little monotonous odds and ends that are packed into a single day like an endless treadmill, I declare time seems to go as slowly as the proverbial race between the snale and the tortiss, she said. But I mean about the ma, I said. It didn't go down so much just by cooking with it, because most of it went down all of a sudden the other day when I did the experiment with' cousin Artie, I said, and ma said, What? What experiment for land sakes? The experiment with the pidgins, I said. We proved it's not true about birds not being able to get away if you put salt on their tales. The pidgins are tame as anything, especially when you feed them crumbs, but even so they kept moving every time we sprinkled the salt, so it wasn't easy and that's why it took a good deel of salt, I said, and ma said, Well for land sakes of all the wasteful nonsense.

"It is a well-known and me'an- choly fact that over half of all cases of cancer of the stomach are past any hope of treatment hy the time the true condition is discov ered." The five outstanding symptoms cancer of the stomach as out lined in "Handbook of Cancer," published by the Canadian Medical Association, are: 1.

An indefinite feeling of dis comfort in stomach increased by taking of food, discomfort lasting most of the day, but disappearing night. 2. Same feeling of discomfort, but belching and distension also present. 3. Loss of appetite particularly for certain foods such as meat.

4. Pain and discomfort now definitely after meals. 5. A feeling of tiredness, loss weight, some anemia. "Any combination of the above symptoms appearing for the first time in one of cancer age must be considered cancer of stomach until proven otherwise." (Tomorrow Treatment of Heart Disease.)

Members of the Family TWO PADDLES In ft SWIMMING CRAB tf UWIg form a pair of FLAT PADDLCS. The largest members of the family are the giant spider crabs. They make their homes in the Pacific ocean, chiefly around the islands of Japan. Sometimes they are called "giant Japanese crabs." These huge crabs have bodies which may measure 15 inches, in, length by 12 inches in width. That, however, is only part of the story.

Spreading out from the body are legs from four to five feet long! If the legs are stretched to the greatest width they may cover a space of 11 or 12 feet! (For NATL RE section of jour scraphook.)

Among these are the so-called "ghost crabs," which ae noted for their ability to move fast.

They live in colonies on sandy beaches and their homes are hollows in the sand. Those swift-footed crabs are able to produce noise by rubbing their claws over rough parts of their shells. The claw is rubbed over a part which would be like the edge of the chest if a crab had a chest! The noises seem to be made, in part at least, to warn other crabs to stay out of homes which are in use. Some of the shelled animals known as mussels have visitors inside their shells. These visitors are the little pea crabs.

The body of a pea crab is less than an inch wide and the tiny animal would hardly be safe out in the great world. So it seeks out a shellfish sometimes a cockle instead of a mussel and gets under cover. People of ancient times knew about the pea crab and its habits. They said that its host gave it food and that in return it pinched the host as a warning of danger! Modern study has failed to show that the pea crab does any pinching for that reason. We know, however, that it shares the food of the mussel, or cockle, with which it lives.

Crabs can walk, or crawl, in any direction forward, backward or sidewise. Most often they travel sidewise. Certain crabs are excellent swimmers. They have two ot more legs which are flattened at the ends to make oars of a sort With these oars they can travel fast through the water.
