Needless deaths of thia kind still occur at the rate of 20,000 a year.

Cancer Is not Inherited, but the power of resistance to cancer varies with different stocks. If there has been cancer in your family. It is necessary to uv earerully and avoid every kind of local Irritation.

If there never has been any cancer among your ancestors, you can do as you fleas and you need not fear cancer. The cause 1 fully demonstrated to be a long-continued irritation of a group of cell. Ther Is some agency In the -cell which ordinarily keeps it down to normal alse. The long-continued irritation seems to destroy that agency. The cells are released and start to grow far beyond normal else.

"We don't understand Just why irritation produce this effect, and we don't understand exactly the procea by which the X-ray destroy the cell growth."

Nov. lX-Rov A. Hayne. Federal Prohibition Commissioner, addressed th International Convention of th Woman' Christian Temperance Union her tonight, pleading for general support In th enforcement of th dry law, and warning of th Influence which are working to nullify or chang them. Let us, my friends, not overlook th Importance of th struggle now going on to mak th Elghtenth Amendment effective," said.

A a gmat American recently said In view of th attempt, sometimes successful, to misinterpret the Constitution, th effort to chang It and the danger Involved In disregarding It provisions, th time ha arrived for us to put on the armor of patriotism as our forefather knuw aud applied It I only th man who know th far-reaching moral lnflueno of the former liquor traffic, legalised and protected, who know something of the debauching and prostituting of th former brewery and distilling Interest ln politic, who know th foreign. un- American element that champion th liquor business, who can today Interpret th vlgnlflcanc of th struggle that wage about th Volstead act Th man who understand th tem perance reform, who visual! a It far- reaching Influence upon th llf of our nation, who contemplate the benefit it must confer upon th rising and unborn generation, must be thrilled with th event that are dally staged. If. fa I not blind to th determined opposition that thia reform dally meet, the Importance of this hour must giv him great concern. With this Insight Into th conUat he must surely be led to feel with Kathleen Norrla, who recently said: 'Th Eighteenth Amendment ha given us one of the greatest opportunitiea of our live.

Wars will com and war will go, administration will rise and fall, but the work we may do now to build ud thia cleanaina- and strengthening and constructive law Into our exfe will never be undone." There are thosa who sm onlv ona id of thia conflict. Like the vaunt man In hi morning vision, they see only in torces mat are arrayed against them. Before them rarut th united force that are opposed to law enforcement, and. seeing but thia side, they become pessimists, saying that the law can't be enforced or there 1 no use in trying to make the Eighteenth Amendment effective that Drohibltlon is a failure. If an election in soma part of th country chance to reflect a wet constituency.

probably because the friends of the dry cause have not been aroused, there is more pessimism. Thia pessimism is always a dangerous thing, for pessimism eat th heart out of honest effort. Then there 1 another das, who. Ilk th young man. sees only the charioteer of fire.

To them the fight 1 won. They cry out. they that are for us are more than ther that are against and this class of optimist doe nothing because their optimism destroy th necessary effort and pauses th nerv of action. Tolls of llestU areas. Some of th militant force against us include: "LA highly developed propaganda 2.

An unfavorable attitude on th part of a small minority of public officials. "3. Apathy on the part or a gooa many Christian cltiaens. but this ele ment. I am glad to report, la rapidly diminishing.

"4. An orranlsed attack upon the ef forts of enforcement and aa effort to discredit the service. But. mv friends, do not' fail to look also for a brief moment at the chariots of flrt those elements that are for us: "1. Great organisations, church and secular, great leaders cf thought.

2. Thosa not originally prohibitionist but who am stanch supporter of th law. 3. Th noDulatlon of th rreat rural sections, particularly of th West. Cen tral west and South.

4. The fathers and mother of th citizens of tomorrow. 5. The women of tho Union, now a part of our political parties, and their tremendous force tor every rignieous cause. So.

In intertretinc thia hour, we must see clearly the forces that are for. as well a the forces that are against ua. While Imbued with faith and hope and confidence, we should remember that the failure on the part of our best patriotic citizenship to function and cooperate in enforcement may bring dire results. Many good citizen seem to regard the republican form of government a imperishable, and yet our own America la less than lou years oia. Venice naa a republican form of government for 1.100 years" Carthage for 700 year; Athens for 900 years, with varying intermission: Florence for 1.300 years, and Rome for 600 yeara What caused the downfall of these ancient republics? The people began to disregard their own lawa.

vhen law ceased to reign, tne government crumbled and fell. There Is another predominant trait In the American character and that la the trait of Impatience. Many have suggested that this law ha been tried and found wanting. My friend, thl statement 1 most frequently made by those who desire to find the lew a failure, and yet some of those considered friends of this law have been led into error by uat uch adverse criticisms, -inis law been operative for a short time, and yet there are those who desire to Jtidge it a complete euccesa or a complete failure at this early hour."

who, after his sensational defeat of George Carpentier. knew for a few short glorious hours what It meant to. be the Idol of the crowd or at least tho Idol of boxing fan now ha hardly any frlend or supporters left in France. In a few weeks he ha been aa aitc-cessful ln alienating avmpathie a he wa In flooring Carpentier and that' saying not a little. Th story of th career of th Senegalese negro and former bottle washer throw an Interesting light on French psychology.

Even supposing that Battling SIki had ever shown himself to be a real world' champion boxer, he could never hav taken Carpentier place of popularity with th French people. Thl fact ha nothing whatsoever to do with- racial prejudice, which exist less in France than ln any country ln th world; Indeed, it may be said not to exlsWat all. Nor 1 It because, while Carpentier is pleasant looking, with a great personal charm and a winning smile, Slkl's coal black face ha th indelible aim lan aspect. HI unpopularity ha nothing to do either with hi race or hi appearance. It 1 simply because he ia stupid.

And that ia an unpardonable sin In French eye. So Slkl' suspension from the championship. Instead of arousing any regret or sympathy, has been hailed with frank delight by the majority of the people. One hardly likes to have on' country represented by a fellow like that, even ln sporting event only." That remark by a member of the French Chamber epitomize th whol French attitude. Ever since Carpentier' defeat brought Sikl the purse, which although not big when compared with other championship atake nevertheless represent a fortune probably far greater than ever dreamed of by the ex-bottle washer, he ha never ceasea to play the fool in Pari.

Each one of his exploits Irritated the people mora and more against him. HI repeated visits, to well-known American bars, where he attempted to pay for the drinks all around to strangers. Including Americans who refused. many simply rising ana leaving inr lace wore among me leuer oi nia aux pa. Ills adventure last evening, when he was arrested for Illegally wearing an army uniform, brings his story to an end for the time being.

It is only fair to say that none of these things hat been done maliciously. Indeed, were that the fact. It is very likely the French would more easily forgive him. They Just come from a pure lack of even rudimentary intelligence and are th promptings of the Instinct of a primitive African tribesman suddenly transported to the heart of civilization. That 1 ihown bv the arrest Just alluded t.

When Slkl wa taken before the Police Commissioner and Interrogated regarding hi Identity, he said: If you like. I am Slkl. If you don't like. I am not Slkl." The Police Commissioner evidently de cided favorably, for when Slkl U-ft the station It was with the Information that he would be prosecuted.
