Increase Os Cancers Cause Os Great Alanr It has been known by medical men and life insurance companies for many , years that cancer was increasing year by years and that it was becoming a serious question. In order that every- . body might be enlightened about this great menace to life, the Society for the Prevention of Cancer was organized by a great number of America’s best physicians and a large number of men in other lines of work. Last week was set apart by this society as “cancer week” and an attempt was made to enlighten everybody in the United States. Cancer is now killing one out of every ten persons over forty years of age. During the year 1920 over 90,000 people died from cancer in the United States. This is 10,000 more than all the soldiers lost by the United States in the great war. The exact cause of cancer has never as yet been discovered, although many men have spent any number of years trying to do so. All that is known for certain is that cancer is at first localized and can be destroyed by proper treatment and it is just as well known that treatment is of no avail after it has • progressed too far and has spread in the system. The main thing that week" wants to Impress is that the people know that cancer is curable in its early stage and incurable after it. has existed long. Therefore, we must be on the look out for any sore or growth that lingers long. If the people in general knew as much about cancer as the life insurance companies and physicians do, it would be possible to prevent the heavy cancer death rate. The Society for the Prevention of Cancer means to educate the people to that extent and each year further effort will be made. —e VETERAN ATTORNEY DEAD Miracle, Ind., Nov. 25.—A. M. Van Huys, 50, a veteran attorney and former judge of juvenile court here, is dead following a stroke of paralysis. He was widely known in Indiana legal circles.
