Cancerous Growths Curable if Recognized

By Hsrman N. Bundesem M. O. THE words "too late" ate never more tragic than when they refer to cancer. because hero they mean all the dihereiwe between life and death When proper treatment ia begun early enough, this otherwine fatal disease can usually be cured. Cancer of the rectum, or lower part of the bowel, for Instance, kills nine thousand people in the United stalks every year. Many, many more they it should, accord Ing to Doctor William U Ibuiiel of Eos A&geles. who says th! death rate is entirely too high and due only tt> the fact that so many patients receive treatment too late Gradual Symptoms UaforUhnately. cancer in this part of the body, as In so many other atfcas. does not produce sc vere symptoms at the start and the victim does not reaiue his dan ger. It does, however, produce some changer Thgy are giadual and slight at first, but they can be recogalxed by those who have laariMtu how to look for them. In the first place, the majority of patients with this type of cancer are between s<> and 70 years of age In only one out of five cases does it develop before &b atfd in only ope out of 30 does it ocuar between tbu ages of 3« and ML I Thus, pAhple in the dangersone of W to 7(1 should be especially alert. As tor what to watch for, the most frequent sign or symptom of cancel of the rectum is a change tn the jbowel action, such as diarrhea. There may be blood and mucus Is the bowel movement which <ha patient cap see by careful ob-

This keeping In touch with the house folk is one way of getting away from the pressure around the White House and at the same time getting the mother s slant on perplexing problems We believe it's a good sign foi a man to go to his mother when troubled. 0-0 This is the uminer of our discontent. All of us want all sorts of things that we can’t get. Everywhere there seem to be shortages and "dislocations" Interfering with the normal operation ot our American economy. Not only arc goods in the stores scarcer, but their quality is inferior. There arc trade embargoes interfering with •hipping And when there is noth iUK eisf making trouble, it is likely to be industrial iaittletiocks caused by unnaiurat jams Hut; it won't last fort-ver.

"The Gentleman from Indiana," but depicted that honorable role as a Hoosier, brought a lot ot pleasure to millions through his waitings. Famed for hta novels and as a playwright.

servation, as well as slight discomfort in the abdomen and in some Instances there may be dgns of blocking of the bowel such as gradually increasing constipation. Actual pain is not present at the beginning and rosy not occur until late in the disease. Proper Examination On th? other hand, proper exam(nation will reveal most cases of cancer of the rectum. This examination should include the use of-an instrument known as the sigmoidoscope. a tube with a light which can lie passed into the lower bowel, making it possible for the physician to examine the lining membrane directly and see the abnormal structure. The growth at the beginning may be small or it may have the form of an ulcer or son* with linn edges. If there is any question about the diagnosis, a small bit of the tissue in which earner ip suspected to 1>« present may Ist? removed and examined under the micros*-ope. X-ray examination la also helpful when It Hhows a tic feet in the lowest eight inches it the bowel, but sometimes may be misleading, since various parts of the bowel may obscure the area in which the growth Is located. Cancer In the rectum. as in cancan tn other parts of the body, is treated best by early surgery. Xray treatments, of course, are also useful. But (rear in mind that it is only with early treatment that the patient's life can be saved. Persons should be on the lookout for changes In bowel action and, if they occur, should not delay In having an examination made by a physician.

Stassen, former Minnesota governor, today urged the removal of secretary of lalmr Lewis 11. B<-liwelleijbach. secretary of commerce Henry Wallace And stabilization director Chester Bowles. Stassen, who is considered an aspirant for the Republican nomination for president, said these three should be replaced "by 1 three men of high standing and bioad knowledge of the held they 1 are to represent." He suggested George Harrison of the railway clerks, Paul Hoffman of the Studebaker company and the committee for economic development, and Eric Johnston, until recently president of the L. 8. chamber of commerce. "I urge." Stassen told an Inland Hally Press association

CHAPTER FORTY-THRE, SUNDAY WAS uneventful except for one seemingly trivial incident based on the feud between Rosa and Jones. I "The Engtteher" had forgotten to leave Neal’s keys, and Rosa kept grumbling about it so persistently that Claire rang up the Trianon to ask for their return. She had no luck, though. Jones swore she hail left them on one of the consoles in the foyer—admitting, however, that Neal might have picked them up by mistake. ' No, she couldn't And out if Miss Tarrant hpd them. Mias Tarrant was out. And so Rosa retired to her kitchen, still full of dark mutterings, and we went back to our Interrupted reading of the Sunday papers which were, for once, not full of our ißurdara. But —our minds were full of them. It showed In the disjointed questions Claire flung me at more or leas regular intervals: Did I still think Deane was ‘it*? . . . Who could be the hinted-at other suspect of the inspector? . . . Were Hunt’s frequent mysterious trips part of the investigation or not ? 1 answered her in monosyllables, I’m afraid. Her questions bothered me; they were so much an echo of the things 1 was asking myself, and fitted in so well with what Inspector Harry had told Leighton: that I knew one of his suspects and thought I'd guessed the identity of another. By the one I knew he'd naturally meant Deane. And the one he thought I'd guessed could only refer to—Hunt Berwick. It wasn’t a happy thought. Especially not in combination with othI er memories 1 didn't like so well: the Inspector's remark that it was •■funny” Hunt had been at Elmpoint the night Brenda wandered in. And Polly, blinking up at Hunt so uncertainly it showed he'd ■ imagined he had been the man in the elevator. Just as the previous Monday I I had a sudden and overwhelming . desire to talk with Hunt and find i new confidence in his calm, pleasi ant voice. But, Just as last Monday, he was out of reach. And so I carried the repetition through all the way by trying, but hard, to think of something etoe. And had long discussions with Claire about some of my authors, and what to ldo with the furniture in Neal's room. No matter what I did to banish i it, though, the vague discomfort labeled "Hunt Berwick" remained at the back of my mind. It was there when 1 fell asleep, and when I woke up in the morning. It went with me to the office, and followed me to Brenda's funeral early in the afternoon. The aaddeat, moot pathetic, funeral I'd attended so | . + • - ~ .

——— II —— The rliapei was a yawning emptiness inasse<l with flowers. David Leighton was ail the "mourning family” there was there. Our small group-- Claire and I, Inspector Barrv and the just returned Hunt—the only "friends nt the deceased." And the general public was represented by Rnra and Brenda's maid—both weeping noisily somewhere In the backgotind and enjoying themselves hugely - and a few Idle women who'd strayed in out of morbid curiosity. The ceremony itself was simple, and would have been impressive if It hadn't been so long. But the officiating clergyman plainly liked to hear himself talk and droned on and on- about the wisdom of providence that removes us poor mortals from this sad earth at the right and proper moment. I found the theme rather unfortunate, seeing Brenda's death xvas supposed to be suicide and actually was murder. Glancing down into the lovely stiU face in the open coffin, I couldn't call the murderer "providence," or sec heavenly Justice In , the fact that Margot. Polly W<s»d- , fords and Brenda lay dead, while he was alive, and free to go on with his horrible crimes. Instead, 1 wan i filled with the passionate, almost ; bloodthirsty, desire to bring him to justice. "It wouldn't be so impossible If oiily I knew hto motive,” I thought i miserably, as the interminable ca- . dences of the funeral oration roue and fell. "The motive that lies in , Margot's past and in Brenda’s, but , with which Polly Woodfonis had no . connection except as an innocent bystander.” Deane had known Margot. In . Hollywood, I'd presumed. But had : he ever been in Parte where Brenda I had met the mysterious "he”? I didn’t know. I’d only met him a I little over a year before. t But I knew Hunt had been I abroad. He’d reminded Margot <» i their meeting on his return trip, in my presence — [ I turned Involuntarily and ; glanced at Hunt, who was bcsi<ie I me.
