They are following the theory that a powerful chemical, substance upsets normal cell- reproducing controls, and that thia substance might be produced by the human body itself. The hopes of millions of persons who fear cancer go with the scientists as they pursue their studies.

A Cough Should Be Diagnosed

By Herman N. Bundeeen, M. 0. NOWADAYS, when ao many people smoke, there la a tendency to regard every rough as simply due to too many cigarettes. Thia la a bad thought because it often mean* neglect of coughing which signal* some really serious disorder. There are many different types of coughing and these are so distinctive that years ago. when modern methods of diagnosis were not available, doctors relied heevily on the mere sound of the cough to tell them what was wrong For example, a brassy cough indicates swelling of the aorta, the grant artery coming from the heart. Its enlargement causes pressure on the windpipe and thin, in turn, stimulates the coughing attacks. A <rotipy rough la commonly associated with condition* which produce swelling at the iaryu or voice bos. roughing, in attacks, may mean whooping cough or some other condition which produces an escessive amount of secretion in the windpipe and the tubes In the lungs known ns the bronchi A dry cough, on the other hand, means, as a rule, that an nee*slve amount of secretion ts not present. Tumor or cancer of the lungs frequently produces a cough of this type. Since coughing Is only a symp tom ft citnndt be treated property until the cause Is found It ts often one of the important signs tn the common everyday Infections of the respiratory tract. It is nearly always present in tuberculosis of the lung lung abscess and pneumonia, and we all must remember that serous lung fa users also cause ft is tree as f eart eartier that 1 „

ness they chcriah the most . . . just by being Mother —o o With women to be found in all walks of life, almost the last stronghold of the unprotected male was the Harvard faculty. Now a breach has been made in the walls of this fortress. The first woman full professor in Harvard’s more than 300 years has been chosen. Miss Helen Maud Cam of Cambridge University in England. She; will lecture on British constitutional history and probably de it better than most men. o o The world seems crazier than ever Newspapers bring us not only the tragedies in Europe. Palestine and India, but right here ».t home. Sickening is the recording of such human actions as the shooting of the father by his sixteen year-old daughter, after a 1 criminal attack and the double murder by a fourteen year old Bryan. Ohio, boy The latter wanted a car to take bis girl to a high school dance, so he got a gun and in a cold blooded way murdered the owners. Humanity seems to be hanging by a string, dangling there without thought of God and the consequences which follow crime. Crime: The arrest of four men on charges of grand larceny, involving the theft of motors from the Decatur General Electric Plant, again proves the stupidity of the criminally inclined. Their pleas of "guilty** before the local Court, removes any doubt as to their innocence. Today, the quartette who schemed to "beat the law" and dirty ' tbeir hands and reputations with stolen goods, face prison terms of from one to 10 years, plus fines which the Court may mete out in the final disposition of their case. Grand larceny is defined as a theft exceeding the value of $25. In this particular case, the amount may reach $20,000 but the penalty ’ remains the same. 1 From ail appearances, the men I are not imbeciles and their ordi- ! nary use of reason should have warned them that eventualy they would be exposed. Puzzling as it may seem, collusion perfected their unlawful acts until detection came after months at investigation. Police authorities deserve commendation for rounding-up the thieves. Another gang takes the count. Crime . . . where does it lead? The penitentiary is the next stop

coughing is common among excessive smokers but it is never safe to assume that a persistent cough is due to this cause alone. Hence, when a patient who smokes complains of coughing there is need for a thorough study to determine If the coughing Is due to the smoking or to some other disturbance. Smoker's cough usually occurs In the morning, though It may be present throughout the day. It is often accompanied by gagging because of the thick secretions present tn the throat. Certain ocrupations require that the worker l»e exposed to dust and fumes which may also have a noticeable effect on the lining membranes of the breathing organs to cause coughing attacks. Sometimes coughing may be produced by cqgditions outside of the breathing organs Irritation of the outer ear canal may bring about coughing attacks, and coughing mav be a symptom of hard-packed ' wax in the ear. Os course, inflammation of the nose and throat, as 1 we|l as infection of the nasal sinuses. are all associated with coughing A cough should never be neglected As a rule, its cause may be easily found but. in any event, successful treatment depends on find ing the cause aad removing It QUCrriONB AND ANSWERS M.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE ANITA did not come down to dinner that evening and Tracy and Kit dined together at the long mahogany table. Their talk was meagre. Were they thinking the same thoughts, Kit wondered? Were they thinking that Kirk's tall, loose-jointed flgur- had been conspicuously absent for the past few days? Strange, the similarity of thought, hers and Tracy Field's, because of that tall, loose-jointed figure . . . i The big house knew quiet nights as well as quiet days now. Tonight the lights burned for three people, for Kit, her chestnut head bent over a letter to Aunt Chris, for Tracy, knitting in her room, and for Anita, sitting up in bed, her hand to her chin, her tearwashed eyes no longer tearful but very bright with a new idea. She'd fix Tony if she could. Soon Kit finished 'he letter which was in response to the one Aunt Chris had written after Kit had explained her father's case. Aunt Chris had written, "I'm immensely relieved, dear, that the thing which has been bothering 1 you won't bother you again and I think you are wise to pursue it no more. Mike Saunders has been a good friend. New friends, you are learning, are sometimes our Best friends . . .** She walked to the window and looked out.

They have a tenant farmer and there's a lot growing around them. I've never seen more beautiful country." She thought. Why Is he tailing me thia? Just because we can't walk in silence or because he loves his parents and their old home so much that he wants to talk about it? Maybe he's homesick .. , Rhe said, “It sounds grand.

I 0 ASK A DOCTOR ABOUT CANCER Address your question to the Decatur Democrat, and it will be answered by a qualified | physician. This column Is a , public service of this newspa- . per and the Adams County Cancer Society. I —. .. Q. — What do you think is the most important part of the cancer problem? A friend insists It Is treatment, while I say it is diagnosis. K D. McC. A.- While your friend’s opinion is good, as you might suggest, the diagnosis is more important. Most Important, however, is getting the patient to the doctor soon enough. There are too many people who delay seeking advice until it is too late. Q — I read in the paper* that a Cincinnati doctor recently spoke on lung cancer before a group of physicians Is It a common disease? Mrs. J. P. O. A. — Lung cancer causes the death of altout 4 people In every UMi.fHMt deaths It ranks cl<»»e to stomach cancer, which is common to isHh sexes. X ray examination is usually the best way to diagnose it early. Some doctors believe that an X-ray of the chest should be a routine part in the examination of every person after 40 years of age. Q. - Are ther» any blood tests to find out if a person has cancer? C. N. L. A. — in general, there U no blood test to determine if a patient has cancer. Some kinds of cancer often produce excessive amounts of chemical substames ordinarily present in the blood or urine. The attending physician then calls upon the medleal laboratory for the use of its facilities in making the blood test! Former Town Marshal Questioned In Death Vevay. Ind .
