Too Often, Cancer Signs Are Either Too Little or Too Late

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, 10. SYMPTOMS that are “too late and too little” mask cancer ofrthe ovary, and make it one of (the most disturbing and difficult cancers to treat. | The deaths from this type of cancer of the female sex gland are fairly high. The majority; of the cases arise tn women between fifty and sixty years of age, and are more -common after menopause or change of life. There are too few Symptoms and these symptoms occur late in the disease, further hindering its cure. Characteristic Complaints Enlargement and pains of>he abdomen, loss of weight, weakness, and bleeding after the menopause are the most frequent complaints. Since these symptoms Ido occur late.ia method has been I sought to determine the disease at its onset. r £ It is believed that if more women avail themselves of routine female examinations at short intervals, especially after the age of menopause, many of these tumors could be detected early. |

sudden death that the soldier acquires has made the returned veteran more prone to deeds of violence. This is denied by the director of the United States bureau of prisons. He said that fewer men are in federal and state prisons than before the war, in spite of the nation's 18 per cent increase in population since 1940. The prison official said the most common offense committed Is neither robbery nor murder, In which violence plays an essential part, but embezslement. - - » —« o— I Within eight months the United Stated will have no more secondclass soldiers. Assistant Defense Secretary Hannah announces that by that time the last all-negro units will be abolished. The navy and air force are said by him to have abolished segregation, but this does not, apparently take into account the navy stewards, who are almost entirely negro. With this couptry preaching equality for all, the principle must be observed among those who weat the uniform and are called upon to defend that principle. o o— It\is interesting to observe the reaction of the American people who deetded to return home after first declaring that he wanted to remain with his Communist captors in Korea. There is a readiness to forgive hiri> and almost tlo desire to be self-righteous about the fact that he made a serious mistake. It is possible that he may have to face army discipline for his unwise action. > But whatever happens to him in this country he will be far better off than if he had remained with the Reds who were only interested in using him for propaganda purposes. o o . - Figures released by the Department of Labor, covering 57 major cities, show that the family car cokts more money than the home, which few deny was of more importance. The figures weire broken down in detail for one city, and reveal that the average family spent 12 per cent of its total budget on keeping the car going, as against 11.5 per cent for rent or upkeep of the home. Food is the one feature thought more vital than the car, taking 28.1., per cent of the family expenditures. From one viewpoint an automobile is more important than a house. No one can, ride to work in a house, but it is possible to sleep in a car.

I If there is any enlargement present, it is usually thought best to remove it surgically. Any woman who has bleeding after the menopause should have an Immediate examination to determine the cause. Usually, women past the age of menopause are very reluctant to go through regular periodic examinations, but ft is so Important for their welfare. If a tumor is present, these examinations will disclose ft and enable the treatment to start at once. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. 8.0.: I am helping to take care of my sister who has open tuberculosis. What precautions' should I take? Answer: Make sure that you do ’ not touch her sputum or get it on 1 your clothing, and that she covers 1 her mouth when she coughs and * when she talks to you. You should \ have a chest X-ray at frequent > intervals to make sure that you s are not developing the infection • from being In contact with her. t You should not lower your resistl ance by fatigue and should consume an adequate diet.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN THE BUS rider's perusal of the story had been no more than a few moments of casual amusement fop him, yet it was of such importance to Nancy. That's how life is. she mused. In a big city two people could be sitting so close that their elbows touched and stm not know the torments in the other's mind. --- He probably was thinking of his losses in the stock market. Nancy felt that she would be willing to accept his worry about the stock market, or whatever it might be, in exchange for the ordeal of facing Humphrey Charles that morning.; Humphrey Charles ... she must be more discreet . . . Phil Stanley, a wealthy young gentleman ... a stratum of society she could hardly expect to enter into. Why, oh why, did those words of Humphrey Charles keep ringing in her ears ? Why did they rankle so—what was he going to say this morning ? Nancy soon learned. Before starting the morning’s dictation, Humphrey Charles made an extraordinary effort to clear his throat. Nancy knew what was coming. He rustled his papers nervously. **l see. Musa Kelly, that you got your name into the newspapers again. There was a fight. You seem to be achieving an unusual amount of publicity in connection with Mr. Stanley. Are prize fights your—your pastime?" He engaged in another rasping clearance of his throat. What was coming next ? “You may remember, Miss Kelly, I tried to impress upon you the importance of being discreet. No doubt you saw mention of this firm’s name in connection with-—” "Yes, Mr. Charles, 1 did. It wasn’t my fault. It was unfortunate. 1 really wasn’t with Mr. Stanley’s party, 1 mean—” “We will not discuss the matter further. Miss Kelly.' However, I wish to give you one more warning. If there are more sensations of this kind in which yotir name and the name of Mr. Stanley, above all, the name of this law firm, are mentioned, I will have to ask your resignation. I trust that will not be necessary. Take a letter.” Nancy took the letter. She could see the pages filling with shorthand notes by her own swift hand, but they were being formed mechanically. She was so familiar with Humphrey Charles* phraseology that the notes seemed to form themselves while her mind was only half on them. Nancy was burning with resentment at Humphrey Charles* attitude. It seemed she always was lately. But today she felt that she could take IL She WOULD take it. He couldn't do anything to her because she wasn't going to Mt hinj. She reaolved that she was going to quit worrying as she had been worrying, feeling everything too deeply, trying to keep up a front while she was being tormented with fear. Well, now she was going to conquer fear. , Back at her typewriter, she couldn’t account for the feeling, of confidence that had emc bver teer

Fined For Leaving Scene Os Accident Leroy Beer, 52, of route 3, pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving |ke scene of an accident in mayre’s court this morning and was fitted $lO and costs. Beer was reported to have stnifck a car driven by Charles Stetlbr, 21, of Willshire, 0., at First and Madison streets thia weekend-, and took off down the street after he observed the bumpers were lockup.

right in the middle of Humphrey Charles' warning. A small voice might have told her that she had better make the most of whatever had come over her, that she should know it was her Celtic inheritance, up in spirits one hour, down Use next. Phil Stanley called her that night. > , Would she go dancing someplace? He suggested the Club Madrid, or the Chateau. \ & She said no. & He called her the next night % She said no. He called her again and, when she refused, Phil snapped his fid* gers and stamped out a cigarSt that he had only just, lighted. K “What a spirit What a gal. What a redhead!” It was a new experience to Phu, the handsome young millionaire, fe His money had always brought him anything he wanted. This was a novelty. His eyes had determination written in them now. There was something about the red-haired Nanay that had gottqd under his skin. 1 p Marry her? \’ He smiled at the thought He could see the effect it would have on his mother, a D. A. R., a May* flowerite. No, he wasn’t marrying anybody yet but he wasn’t going to take no from a little red head who lived down on Cass street *■;. Nancy's determination not to see more of Phil and his determination, that she would, resulted in a losing battle for Nancy. His determined, good natured pursuit got to be a game that would up with her going to lunch with him one noon. || He was at the curb when she came out of the Mariner Tower. He whisked her into his car. He laughed and told her it was a kid* naping. He took her to the Wisconsin club and there, over muslj* room bisque, demanded to know why she had turned him down so many times—did she think he had smallpox, or something? Nancy said no, but she was interested in keeping her job. She thought it better if she wasn’t seen with him. “After all, Tm a girl pounding a typewriter for a living. You’re— * What could she say? She didn’t want Phil to think she considered herself inferior because she was Poor. a “Go ahead, say it* Phil was eager, compelling. The magnetism of him was something that Nancy had never known tn, another man. There was no use. She had met a will to match her own. That luncheon was the beginning of a series of meetings that was to result in Nancy’s losing her job. | The thing that finally brought it about was the crash of Phil’s car Mi Blue Mound ’■oad. He had been at the curb at five O’clock when Nancy was leaving for home. He wanted to take her home. She declined. She dreaded the gossip that already was traveling up and down Cass street. She dreaded again telling her mother that Phil; Stanley “just happened” to meet her and insisted upon taking her home. Again Phil had compelled her.

against her better judgement instead of taking her home he turned west on Wisconsin avenue, just for a little ride, he said. , A half hour later Nancy was in the County General hospitalWhen she came to, they told her that the car had skidded, crashed. Neither she nor Phil were seriously hurt though she bad been knocked unconscious, but It resulted in more newspaper headlines. More mention of her name with that of Phil Stanley, the young millionaire. Mention that “Miss Kelly, a beautiful red-haired girl," was the same girl who had been snowbound for two nights and a day in an Oconomowoc lake lodge, and the one who more recently had been involved tn the comic battle at the Nakowski bout in the auditorium. Miss Kelly, it said, was a stenographer in a prominent law office. The name of the firm wasn’t mentioned, but it was common knowledge by this time. Shocked and bruised by the accident, Nancy was compelled to Stay home for three days under doctor’s order. They were three days of torture. Mother Kelly had scolded, said that she didn’t know what Nancy was thinking of, getting herself gossipped about. She rocked lo hard that ner chair squeaked a nerve-wracking accompaniment to . her sputterings. Dave had come to see Nancy. There was a mixture of what looked like sympathy, resentment, and burning jealousy in his eyes. Nancy knew that he thought she had lost her head completely, that something had come over her, some recklessness that was a puzzle to all of them. It had. \. Nancy knew it had, and she couldn’t explain IL She only knew that she suddenly, overwhelmingly, was sick of being poor and worried and dogged with fears. She anticipated just what Humphrey Charles would say. She half dreaded, half relished going back to the office to hear what he would say. She kept telling herself that she was through with being afraid anything—that she must stick to her resolve at any cosL She was winning a strange satisfaction In closing her eyes and whipping, inching her will Into defiance of those devils . . . indecision ... the Impulse not to stand up and talk back to the world ... to Humphrey Charles ... the fear of asking for a raise when she knew she deserved it. .. the fear of failure ... the fear of plunging Into some other kind of work. , Nancy was indulging herself in emotionalism. It was grand while it lasted. It was an outlet for her nerves. For a little while it satisfied her rebellion at the prospect of always being a nobody—the girl who lived on the wrong side of the railroad tracks and might as well accept the facL She WOULDN’T accept the fact It was rebellion and yet it wasn’t rebellion.
