.The Doctor Says—
Early Diagnosis
Aids in Cure Of Cancer
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. A PATIENT with cancer cannot be treated until that patient has consulted .a physician, and the physician has made the diagnosis. Today, more people than ever realize the need of seeing & physician early in cancer, bur some still stay away from the doctor because they are afraid they will be told that cancer is present. This reasoning is most unfortunate, since, if cancer can be discovered early, the chances for cure are good, whereas if found late, there is far less likelihood of a complete cure. Lumps which appear anywhere on the body should always be suspected. Abnormal bleeding from anv of the openings of the body is also a sign that an immediate examination should’ be made. . . ” LOSS of weight, which cannot be explained by dieting or other obvious causes, is another symptom which should be taken as a reason for consulting a physician. Of course, cancer in some locations is much, easier to diagnose than in: others. By modern methods of diagnosis, including X-ray, however, many cases, even those involving the internal organs, can be discovered early enough so that treatment is thoroughly satisfactory. Examination must be complete and careful, but today the “facili-
ties” for diagnosis and treatment |
are so much better than in the past that great strides have been made in the conquest of cancer.
Keep Yule Tree Standing In Water
Keep your Christmas tree in water
to keep it fresh, green and fire-re-| sistant, U. 8S. Agriculture Depart-| ment foresters advise. This “water
treatment” also keeps the needles | from falling.
Select a tree that has been cut as/ recently as possible, put it in water ’ promptly and keep. it in a cool place]
until it comes into the living room for decoration. As soon as the tree comes home, cut off the end of the trunk diag-
onally at least an inch above the
original cut. Stand it in a container of watér and keep the water level] above the cut surface as long as the tree is in use.
If the tree stands and dries out!
after cutting, it gradually loses ability to draw up water. To tell wheth-

By SALLY MOST OF US aren't used to formal. dining. When we're confronted with a lot of table silver’ and uniformed servants, we get Jittery. You're likely to meet up with semi-formal service at a holiday party or in someene’s home, so listen. All the food. will be. passed to you by a.waitress or butler. Don't let it scare you. Use both hands to wield the two serving implements on the platter. The waitress will help by shifting the dish to. accommodate you. When it comes to manipulating the tools at your place, it's even simpler. Always take the one farthest from your plate. Remember? First the oyster fork from the far left; then the soup spoon

TO REMOVE, they suggest making a wet compress of several layers of tissue, soaked in water. To keep this poultice over the decal's face for several hours— several hours of soaking are needed — attach wet compress with adhesive or scotch tape. Keep the compress wet by resoaking. When the compress is removed, all that's needed to pry off the decal is to scratch around its edge with Bngernall or knife.

Pick Your Tree
To Fit Space
Many fine Christmas trees are left unsold on markets each year because they are not evenly round and symmetrical in shape. Every buyer wants a “perfect” tree so those with branches wider on one side than the other often go to waste. Yet the perfectly round tree often must be trimmed to fit its location when brought into the| house. Choosing a tree that is naturally] shaped to fit the place where it will stand is less wasteful than trim-| ming, forest experts agree,
Many irregularly shaped reek |
which buyers avoid, are ideal for, small homes, where-round trees take up too miich room. Flat-sided trees are especially suited to standing |against a wall or in a corner,
Safety Rules For Holidays
Before buying electric lights or other electrical decorations for your Christmas tree this year, look for the UL label which means that the equipment has been tested by the Underwriters’ Laboratory for safety, As for old lights which have been used in previous years, check them carefully before they go en the rees, Look for any worn places in the insulation on the wire and wrap
such places carefully with- Srietion
tape. Take. care. not to. run extension! cords to the tred under rugs or over | nails. Keep the tinsel or other in-, {flammable decorations away from the sockets of light bulbs on the!
trees. :
' Responses to an Opening 2 Bid
| By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY | America's Card Authority THERE ARE many different re« | sponses employed today for the | two bid. One group of players uses | an opening two bid as a weakness bid, signifying a hand that is not strong enough to open with a one bid. It is used as a semi-pre-emp-tive. bid, and of course there is the group which uses the forcing two bid. Eastern players have developed a series of responses to the two bid as follows: With two aces, bid four no trump over your partner's two bid; with:.only one ace, bid the suit headed by the ace; with. out an ace, bur holding a trick and a half consisting of either three kings or king-queen of one
sult and king of another, bid three |
no trump. ; | ~ n . | TF YOU have none of these | holdings, “bit you do ‘have four
| trumps and a singleton, or a king
