Symptoms of Mouth Cancer

By Herman N. Bundmen, M. 0. THE symptoms of early cancer of the mouth are selflom distressinar or markedly painful. That ia a fact of the utmost it aportance and should remembered by every one. L*t me where In the l»ody —,la a creeping, insidious thing, which sneaks up on its victims. betraying Its pres•uce only after it la well estabItehed and nowhene la thia more true than in cancefr of the mouth. As a matter of fact, moat other conditions of the mouth, some of them unite trivial, are much more painful than canter in ita early Stages. Dent>«te Often Consulted Thus, when a tumor appears on the edge of the tongue, on the gum, on the roof of the mouth, or on the inside of the cheek, many per•ons consult a dentist before they visit a physician Dr. Hayes Martin of New York: found that in cancer of the gum. the opinion of the dentist bad been sought first in 60 per cent of the cases. Therefore dentists are — and must be — constantly on their guard to detect cancer, because early cancer Is curable and late cancer la not. Early cancer of the lining membrane of the mouth causes a small, hard patch or a sots. When the growth occurs oa the gum. or on the roof of the mouth, pain and

The Montana senator says many complaints already have been received showing that survival ot these Independent publications is threatened by soaring operating coats, newsprint shrinkage, tax and mailing rates and the like. —o o— Cash Income of American farmers this year will be the highest in history, nationally speaking. What are farmers going to do with this bumper harvest of extra cash? Spend it on scarce goods at high prices, or salt it down against the inevitable day when the long green won't be so plentiful, but will get you more for a dollar? The beat reserve he can build up Is a little bale of U. 8. Savings Bonds. They spell security for old age. sound sleep o'nigbts.better education for the children, better buildings and equipment for farming and living and, always, funds to fall back on In case of need. o o War at Home? Yes, America won the war. It is not yet certain, however, that we arc going to win assured peace at home or aboard — but especially at home. Domestic doubt arises from the |K>Hsiblllty of American group* putting their personal demands or grievances ahead of their patriotism. There is a general patriotism to which, in principle at least, we all subscribe. We are willing to back up our nation to the limit when it Is concerned with foreign affairs. But In onr domestic matters, and where there is a political tinge or a strain of prejudice, it is another story. In such matters for economic argument as coal miners and their leadership, mill men and their problems, there is endless argument. Those are the moat real and Intimate things now concerning Uncle Sam. Every little while he has to be dragged from his work to tackle human problems along with mechanical problems, and much of It Is very puzzling. The toughest problems are usually turned over to professional leaders in this line or that. But It Is impossible to satisfy everybody; and in the case of a rather ruthless leader there Is sure to be dlsatisfaction. The most hopeful sign at present Is the rising consciousness of working men and their families that strikes do not pay.

tenderness may not be present for weeks or even months stater the growth is first discovered by the patient himself. If the growth is located on the tongue, the floor of the mouth or the cheek, pain may be an early symptom or. In some cases, the first symptom. Infection With Germs As the mouth cancer progresses, ulcers and inflammation deeper in the tissues develop, infection with germs incurs and then pain becomes more severe. Because mouth cancer is more serloua than any other condition with whiuh ft might be confused, whenever a •on- or growth occurs In the mo'-.th it is important to make sure that it Is not cancer. The fact that a sore In the mouth has been present for several Weeks and is steadily increasing in site should suggest the possibility that it is a cancerous growth, and the doctor should be consulted at once. Mouth cancer begins slowly and may progress for several weeks or even months before the patient seeks medical or dental advice. Cancer is Curable The idea that these mouth cancers are iocufeble wrong. In tact, even when the growth Is an inch in sise before it is first discovered sad treated, more than halt of the patients cat be completely cured.

S—(UP) —Coal contract negotiations were in recess today because of the elections, and miners throughout the nation took a one-day layoff to vote. Government-union discussions toward a new soft coal contract will resume at 11 a m. Wednesday. Wildcat strikes meanwhile spread to 56 mines, idling 8.200 miners and reducing production by 50,000 tons dally. Tliis was an Increase of 14 mines and 2,500 workers over last Friday's toll. All the idle mines were small. The wildcat strikes were considered by the government to reflect unrest over the status of the negotiations, Unauthor.zed walkouts have been common whenever the united mine workers negotiate for a new contract. The negotiators met for two and a half hours yesterday In what was described by a government official as "further preliminary talks in the lower echelons." Neither side would comment further. Both UMW chief John L. Lewis and secretary of Interior J. A. Krug still were absent. Krug, now on a western tour. Is expected back In the capital Thursday. Lewis probably will remain alweni until Krug takes his place at the conference table. Under Lewis’ Interpretation of the present government-union contract, the agreement can be reopened by either party for discussion of new terms. If ensu.ng negotiations fail to produce an agreement within 15 days, either party can terminate the contract effective five days later. I o

Study Decision On Draft Resumption Report Sharp Drop In Army Recruits Washington. Nov. 5 — (UP) - The army said today it will decide before Nov. 15 whether it will resume the draft on Jan. 1. 1947. tt -e fl Kg J/ fl WgjJLi ROSALIE DRACKERT, dancer and free-lance model, as spokesman for the newly-formed San Francisco Models aasoctation, Is asking for a minimum and uniform wages and a centralized hiring system to improve the quality and reliability of models. She 's asking for a (2-an-hour minimum wage. (International) ■ "'-O Your Community Fund deserves your support. Give generously.

The decision will depend mainly upon the rate of voluntary enlistments during the next 10 days. The army cancelled a call for 20.000 men in the last half of October and 15.000 in November and then stopped the draft until Jan. 1. It must give selective service 45 days advance notice before the draft can be resumed. The army recruiting rate has fallen off drastically since draft calls were suspended. There were 28.303 men enlistet In the first week of October, but only 7,383 In the second week and 6,484 in the third week. Army personnel experts expect the rate to fall even further during December, because men like to stay at home with their familles over the Christmas holidays. The army needs 40.090 men a month to maintain its strength at 1,070.000. It obtained 51.750 volunteers and 25.000 inductees during September. The army has recruited 1,033,818 men since the end of the war.

CHATTER THIRTT-SIX THE NIGHT of the accident, Barry was at HageneyX H.'geny and hie wife lived in a cluttered flat over the antique shop. Above them waa another apartment, rented to a family with three children. It waa always noisy at Hag-ley's and usually exciting. Abby was doing Nurse's Aide. She waa generally home by ten. At nine Barry left and walked home through the March night, which felt more like May, cool after the day’s heat, and very like spring. The telephone was ringing furiously when he entered. He answered it, and heard a voice, almost unrecognizable. "Barry?... This is Craig Emerson..,. There’s been an accident . . .• To whom?” asked Barry. "What happened?" "Vai was driving,” said Craig. "She isn’t hurt, Just shaken up ... Jay Morris has a broken leg . . . Uncle Norman’s pretty badly hurt, I think. Abby had better come. Wj’re waiting for the doctor now." Barry aaid. Til get the first train. ... I haven't a car, and Madge is away. Abby's at the hospital. No need for her to come unless It's serious. ... I'll leave a n'-te for her.... And then call her, from your place.” He hung up, went to the desk, scribbled a note, standing. He ended, "Don't worry. . . , Craig’s an old woman; it's probably just a bruise or sprain. I’ll phone you ~. sit tight until I do ~ He went out and was lucky. A cruising taxi passed, stopped, and took him to the station. He had three minutes to catch a train. He caught it, and it was an express. At the Fairton station he got a cab and drove to the Wallace place. There were no ears in the driveway, but the house blazed with tight; the front door was open and he walked in. Mra Renning came out of the dining room. She looked harried. She said, tn A whisper, "I'm so glad you came, Mr. Lambert. They’ve taken Mr. Morris to the hospital. ... Mr. Wallace refused to be moved.’* Craig appeared on the stairs. He looked, Barry perceived, pale and anxious, but brisk. He came downstairs quickly. He said, "I'm glad you didn't bring Abby, after aIL It's all right Uncle Norman wouldn't go to the hospital with Jay. There's nothing very wrong. He's shaken, of course, has some bruise#, and a cut or two. He threw everyone except me out of the room. A nurse is coming presently I'll stay with him till she goto here."
