Symptoms of Mouth Cancer

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. 0. THE symptoms of early cancer of the mouth are seldom distressing or markedly painful. That is a fact of the utmost importance and should remembered by every one. last me repeat/ Oncer any where in the laxly -is a creeping, insidious thing, which sneaks up on its victims, betraying its presence only after It is well estale llshed and nowhere Is this more true than in cancer of the mouth. As a matter of fact, most other conditions of the mouth, some of them quite trivial, are much more painful than cancer In Its early stages. Dentists 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 if the cheek, many persona consult a dentist before they visit a physician. Dr. Hay»-s Martin of New York found that in cancer of the gum. the opinion of the dentist had been sought first in 60 per cent of the cases. Therefore dentists are and must be — constantly on their gulfl’d to detect cancer, because early cancer is curable and late cancer is not. Early cancer of the lining membrane of the mouth causes a small, hard patch or a sore. When the growth occurs on the gum. or on ths roof of the mouth, pain and

of Montana. It is now studying the obstacles and worries besetting publishers of the smaller newspapers. The Montana senator says many complaints already have been received showing that survival of these Independent publications is threatened by soaring operating costs, newsprint shrinkage. lax 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? Bpend 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'nlghts,better education for the children, better buildings and equipment for fanning and living and. always, funds to fall back on In case of need. o 0 • War at Home? Yes, America won the war. It is not yet certain, however, that we are going to win assured peace at home or aboard — but especially at home. Domestic doubt arises from the possibility of American grtßipa puttiiiK 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 our domestic matters, and where there is a jvolitical 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. These are the most real and intimate things now concerning Uncle Sam. Every little while h? has to be dragged from his work to tackle human problems along with mechanical problems, and much ot 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 disatisfactlon. 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 afater 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 occurs and then palu becomes more severe. Because mouth cancer is more serious than any other condition with whk»h ft might be confused, whenever a ■ore or growth occurs in the mouth It is important to make sure that it is not cancer. The fact that st sore in the mouth has been present for several weeks and Is wteadiiy increasing in size should wUKgest 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 canicers are Inculbble |ft entirely wrong in fact, yven when the growth is an inch in size before it is first discovered and treated, more than half of the patients cm be completely cured.

Nov. s—(UP)—Coal contract negotiations were in recess today because of the elections, and miners throughout the nation t«ok 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 8.206 miners and reducing production by 50,900 tons daily. This was an Increase of 14 I ininew aud 2,500 workers over last Fr.day'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 linen 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 interfor J. A. Krug still were absent. Krug, now on a western tour, Is expected back in the capital Thursday. Lewis probably will remain absent until Krug takes his place at the conference •able. Under Lewis' interpretation of the present government-union contract, the agreement can be reopened by either party for discussion of new terms. If ensuing negotiations fal’ ‘o produce an agreement witbin 15 days, either party can terminate the contract effective five days later. 0

Study Decision On Draff Resumption Report Sharp Drop In Army Recruits Washington. Nov. S — (UP) — The army said today it will decide before Nov. 15 whether it will resume the draft on Jan. 1, 1947. >7 rl I' ! Br ; ? kOSAHI DIACKIRT, dancer and free-lance model, as spokesman for the newly-formed San Franeiseo Models association, is asking for a minimum and uniform wages and a centralized hiring system to improve the quality and reliability of models. She Is asking for a (2-an-hour minimum wage. (laternstioaaJ) ————. ... Your Community Fund deserves your support. Give generously.

The decision will depend mainly U|M>U the rate of voluntary enlUtmexts during the next 10 days. The army cancelled a call for 20,<i00 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 enllstet In the first week of October, but only 7,383 In the second week and 5,484 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 families over the Christmas holidays. The army needs 46.000 men a mouth to maintain its strength at 1.079.999. 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,

NO PRIVATE HEAVEj Faith

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX THE NIGHT of the accident, Barry waa at Hageney'a Hageny and hit 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 nolay at Hageney’a and usually exciting. Abby waa doing Nurae'a Aide. She waa generally home by ten. At nine Barry left and walked home through the March night, which felt more Uke 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 waa 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. Wi're waiting for the doctor now." Barry said, "I’ll get the first train. ... I haven't a car, and Madge to away. Ahby's at the hospital. No need for her to come unless it’s serious. ... I'll leave a m te for her.... And then cal) 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 tbo 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 biased with light; the front door was open and he walked in. M»s. Renning came out of the dining room. She looked hkrried. She said, m a whisper, I'm so glad you came, Mr. Lambert They’ve taken Mr. Morris to the hospital ... Mr. Wallace refused to he moved." Craig appeared on the stain. He looked, Barry perceived, pale and anxious, but brisk. Ho came downstairs quickly. He said, “I’m glad you didn’t bring Abby, after all 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 bruises, and a cut or two. He threw everyone except me out of the A Bwm *• presently, IU stay with him till she gets here." "Vai?” “Oh, she’s an right" said Craig eereleaaly. Evidently Vai. too. had been thrown out of her husband's room, and Craig was pleased, “fiba

Coming back oho took a corner and hit a parked truck. It's a miracle that no one was killed. Sorry I didn't wait tin tomorrow to can you ... if you want to get back on the next train you can make IL 111 send you down.” Barry said, Thanks, Hi take a look, if you don’t mind, and then call Abby. I toft a note, and promised I would." “Just as you wish," said Craig Ho .added TH go back up now. He’s had a sedative, but you can look in on him. The doctor has left Ho went with the ambulance. He’ll be back, though." The room waa dark except for the bedside light Norman Wallace lay In the great bed. His color looked an right to Barry, be breathed evenly as if he slept A head bandage made him look stylishly rakish. He opened his eyes. He said, "Well, Barry!" Barry stood beside the bed, looking down. He said, "Sorry, sir ~. but glad you’re no worse off." “I’m tough," said Wallace. "Have you seen Vatont'ne?” “Not yet" "Da She’s upset I wanted her mother to come up and stay with her, but she wouldn't have IL Is Abby here?" Barry said. "She was at the hospital. ... I didn’t want to alarm her too much. I toft a note. 11l phone her directly.” Tell her that I’m an right" He closed his eyes, dismissing his son-in-law. Craig said softly, "Vai's in her room, I believe.” Barry left the room, dosing the door carefully. Vai’s door was shut He knocked and she said quiekly, "Who to it?" “Barry." She opened the door and stood looking at him. She was white under her year-round tan. She wore, attractive!;’, not much of anything. There was a bruise or her cheek and one wrist was strapped. She asked, "Where’s Abby?" “At home." He explained. "Mind if I phone?" This was a big room, too, and very lovely. Vai had refurnished It, and It became her. Near the chaise longue where ahe had been lying the telephone stood on a small table. Barry picked it up and gave his number. Waiting, he looked at Vat She had gone back to the chaise longue. There was a highball glass half empty on the table, an ash tray fuU of half-smoked cigarets.
