HOW TO KEEP WELL Dr. Frederick R. Green, Editor of “Health.” <®. 1124. Weil.ro Newspaper Union.) CANCER IS A MYSTERIOUS DISEASE /^ANCER is the greatest mystery of the human body. In spite of the fact that many scientists have devoted their lives to study of this scourge of humanity, we know little more about It than did our forefathers. For hundreds of years, theories of one sort and another have been advanced, some Os them reasonable and possible, others ridiculous and Impossible. For a long time, the disease was believed to be hereditary. That theory was abandoned but revived a few years since as a result of experiments on mice, which seemed to Indicate that cancer could be handed down from one generation to another. ' Whatever the, cause. It has thus far evaded discovery. We do know that cancer generally begins in some part of the body where there has been a constant and long-continued irritation, as on the lip of a smoker; In the breast of a woman, where there has been pressure or irritation from corsets or clothing; on the tongue or inside the cheek, where a broken tooth has irritated the surface; or In any other part of the body where there has been continued Irrita’ion. It may also develop from a mole or a wart on the skin. , The first indication may be a small sore or ulcer, the scab or crust of which, on coming off. leaves a freshly ulcerating surface beneath; or It may appear as a small lump under the skin; or. In the case of internal cancers, such as those of the liver, stomach or inteatines, the first symptoms may be some digestive disturbance; while a malignant disease of the uterus, bladder or rectum would probably first be Indicated by a bloody discharge from the organ. In the majority of cases of cancer, pain Is not present until the disease has progressed to a serious stage, often too late for any help. As far as present-day knowledge goes, there is no way of stopping a cancerous growth except by removing the diseased tissue. We do know that if the small local lump or sore is removed, the probabilities are that no more trouble will follow. The early symptoms of cancer are similar to those of other ailments and the layman Is not capable of deciding what bis trouble may be. If you hate any of the symptoms described. seek expert medical advice immediately. If you have a cancer, i your only hope lies in early detection of the condition and prompt treatment. ! THE HUMAN BODY NEEDS SLEEP PROBABLY the average Individual doesn’t realize what an important part sleep and rest play in bis physical and mental well-being and efficiency. There is occasionally a person who apparently gets along very well with ■ less sleep but eight hours is the re- I quirement of the ordinary adult in order to keep body and mind functioning at their best. To the perfectly healthy Individual, sleep is simply to He down, to close the eyes, and to lose consciousness. Unfortunately, few of us are so nearly normal that going to sleep is such a simple matter. We He awake many minutes, sometimes many hours, before exhaustion finally brings sleep. The Inability to drop off to sleep at once may be due to any one of a number of things. Present-day life with its complexities, lack of exercise, lack of fresh air in the sleeping room, faulty diet, worry over business or personal affairs, tasks uncompleted, over-indul-gence in tea or coffee, or any one of a dozen physical causes may be at the bottom of the trouble. If we go about It - conscientiously and with determination, it is comparatively easy to overcome most of these factors. We can correct the lack of ; exercise and fresh air. A? to diet, the ' diet which agrees best with the indi- | vidual is the one that makes him sleep best. Digestive upsets are communicated to the brain and poor sleep and bad dreams are the result. If one has fallen Into the habit of planning the next day’s activities or of recounting the past day’s achievements, failures, or unfinished duties after retiring, insomnia will be developed. With a little determination, it Is easy to make the mind a complete b'ank and sleep will follow. There are some simple preparations before retiring that will produce relaxation and induce sletp. For some persons, a warm bath is helpful if one gets into bed immediately after without chilling the body. Don’t, after you are undressed, walk about in your bare feet. The nerves and blood vessels in the soles of the feet are stimu lated and it takes some time to overcome the sensation. If the circulation is poor or if you are much fatigued, drink a glass of hot milk or lemonade. If the room is noisy, shut out the noise, even if you have to put on ear muffs. Shut out the light by putting y piece of black cloth over the eyes. Don't take drugs or medicines to make you sleep. Use common sense methods. Plants Turning to Sun The fact that sunflowers and other plants turn toward the sun is due to a property called heliotropism. This constant turning is the direct result , of the action of light in modifying the growing cells. Trees Gave Evidence Cottonwood trees were brought into court in the case of Texas-Oklahoma boundary dispute and made to testify as »o the age of the sand dunes io which they grew.

Mange Mites of Hogs Cause Loss

Pest Is Most Troublesome During Cold Months When Hogs Are Marketed. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Heavy kwses of pork products due to mange mites of hogs have been reported lately to the United States Department of Agriculture by its inspectors in the Central West. In addition to being an irritation to hogs, resulting In general unthriftiness, mange mitt's cause meat losses running Into hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, according to recent Information obtained. Reports by J. O Wilson, chief veterinary inspector of the bureau of animal Industry stationed In South Dakota, are now being studied by department specialists from an economic, as well as from a veterinary । standpoint. Through the courtesy of H. F. Veenker, superintendent of a large packing house in Sioux Falls, S. ’ D„ Doctor Wilson obtained sufficient evidence of avoidable losses to suggest concerted action in reducing the ravages of the mange parasite. Damage Vital Parts. Fully 4U per cent of the hogs slaughtered in South Dakota during the winter months of 1923-24 showed evidence of the mange mites, though only about one-half of that number were sufficiently affected ns to cause definite losses. The mange parasites damage the hams, bacons and picnics principally—the parts of the I bog that are of greatest value. The pest is most troublesome during the ; colder months, when most hogs are I marketed. The damage to hog carcasses caused i by the mites assumes the form of roughened skins and inflammation, in some cases the meat is entirely unfit for food. In other instances the in jury places the pork products from such hogs In the lower grades, which . have a reduced market value of from [ 3 to 5 cents. The observations made j in South Dakota are believed to be typical of other important swinegrowing states. Loss Preventable. The United States Department of , Agriculture {mints out that losses due to mange mites an* largely preventable. Treatment consists in the appH Handling Clay Soils Is Most Difficult Problem Os alt the various type* of soil to be found, none when properly handled are more productive than the heavy clay. The very fineness of these soils gives them a large water-holding capacity. which will adapt them to the production of small grains and grasses. The management of these soils presents special problems for considers- ■ tlon. Their fineness gives them a tendency to bake and to require more than the usual amount of labor In cultivation. The Inck of sufficient surface or underdrainage makes them cold and wet in the spring, and when there is a lack of vegetable or organic matter, they are hard to work and less productive. One of the great drawbacks with this type of soil is the fineness of the soil particles. To offset this condition, the farm practice should be so arranged that the operations will sys tematicnlly open up and make these soils more porous. Special attention must be given to the time and type of plowing and cultivation. Heavy clay soils should be fall plowed when the moisture content is right. If worked when wet, they are apt to I puddle ami bake. While It is necessary to plow these soils deeply, the . depth should be lowered gradually. The early working of these soils, in the spring, is most important.

FIGURING CONTENTS OF SILO MADE EASY BY SIMPLE TABLE

A simple table, worked out at the lowa Agricultural college. Is endorsed as practical and good by the animal husbandry workers at the New York State college at Ithaca. They point out that tables would hardly be needed If silos contained nothing but air. or water, or rocks, or sand. But silage packs down, so that the higher the silo, the greater the pressure on the bottom layers, which means more pounds to the square foot at the bottom of the silo. Other factors, such as time of tilling and condition of corn, also cause a variation In weight. The following table shows the average weight at various depths of a cubic foot Os silage; the first figure indicating feet and the second pounds: 10-2 b, 12-27%, 14-29, 16-30%, 18-32, 20-33%. 22-34%, 24-36, 26-37%, 28-38 1-3, 30-39%, 32-40%, 34-41%. 36-42%, 38-44, 40-45, 42-46, 44-47, 46-48, 50-50, 60-54. If a 12 by 40-foot silo contained 36 feet of silage after being allowed to settle and the exact number of tons left In the silo Is wanted, the area would first be figured by multiplying half the diameter multiplied by Itself times 3.1416. So '6x6x3.1416 equals 113.1 square feet. The total amount of silage was 113.1x36 or 4071.6 cubic feet. The amount fed off was 113.1x16 or 1809.6 cubic feet. From the table, the average of 36 feet of silage is 42% pounds for each I Hessian Fly Infestation I Volunteer wheat is one of the greatest sources of Hessian fly infestation to fall-sown wheat. Conditions that are favorable tv the germination of volunteer wheat are conducive also to the early emergence of the fly. Since this is the only food present, the flies infest it and later broodo attack the regular crop. The destruction of all volunteer wheat before planting la, therefore, an Important step in Hes- , sian fly control.

♦ . cation of various simple remedies, ranging from mixtures of kerosene and lard to specially prepared mitecontrol dips. The hogs innydte treated by.hand application, hog oilers, spraying, medicated hog wallows, or by dipping. In applying the treatment swine owners should always treat the entire herd, whether all animals show infection or not. Medicated hog wallows are one of the most practical means of reducing mange-mlte Infection, since the instinct habit of hogs Is to wallow in water. By medicating the water in properly constructed wallows the remedies take effect with a minimum expenditure of money, time and labor. Farmers’ Bulletin 1085, “Hog Mites and Hog Mange,” discuss** practical methods of control and eradication. Keep Flies Away From Stock by Using Sprays Every day we have calls for some sort of spray which will keep tiles away from cattle. The following Is suggested by the New Jersey experiment station: The common cattle flies which gather on the backs of cows nnd annoy them so that milk production -is decreased, can be eliminated by a homemade spray mixture that costs only 1 cent a day for each cow, A spray mixture recommended by J. K. Bartlett, professor of dairy hus- , handry at the college of agriculture nt New Brunswick, consists of the l following Ingredients: 4^ quarts of coal tar dip. 4*4 quarts fish <4l, 3 ' quarts of coaloil. 3 quarts of whale 1 oil. I*4 quarts of oiL of tar. 3 pounds I of laundry soap. Dissolve the soap fn water nnd ndd the other Ingredients. Mix the com binntiou thoroughly nnd bring the whole up to 30 gallons by adding luke- : warm water. This spray will nor injure the coats !of the animals. It Is well to spray I twice dally; once In the morning after i milking, nnd again In the afternoon | Thirty gallons will spray 4<» cows for ten day* at a cost of 1 cent per cow 1 ; per day. Use of Fly Sprays and Different Kepellants, The use of fly sprays nnd repellants ' i offer some relief at milking time, but i it la doubtful if thorough spraying will affect the milk flow. Trials nt the .Missouri exireriment station and re- ! centiy nt the Kansas station have tended to show no Inins* In milk flow following liberal sprnjlng. The I sprays used In the Kansas lest were ; i partially successful tn raduciug the j number of flies during milking time at a cost of one to two cents per cow per i ; day. The decrease in milk flow which i occurs during fly time Is largely dm- i to short pastures and hot weather. To I see thnt the cows hive sufficient feed, water and shade Is therefore of prl I mary Imimrtance. Making Harness Repairs The next time you are working in ' the shop on a rainy day, look over your । equipment, and see if you have the ' material to repair a set of harness in a hurry. Fall plowing is a strain on i harness that has been used all season You w ill need a vise or home made , harness clamp, an assortment of | needles, a ball of shoe or harness thread, a sharp knife, two awls, a piece of harness wax. a revolving i punch. a small riveter, some leather. { buckles and rings. Although It takes but a short time I to drive to town, this equipment often saves a good share of the day vv hen the unexpected break comes during the early forenoon.

' cubic foot, or a total of 4071.6x42% or i 174,000 pounds. The amount fed off, however, averaged only 30% pounds j to a cubic foot —as the table shows. In other words, 1809.6x30% equals 53,175 pounds fed out. The difference Is 118,825 pounds remaining, or approximately 59 tons. Increase Wheat Yield Early fall plowing has been shown by both the Nebraska and Kansas experiment stations to increase the yield of winter wheat. The tractor is the best power for this work. If the tractor overheats during the hot weather, some of the common causes i are retarded spark, or late ignition, ■ carbon deposits in cylinders, poor lubrication, a slipping or lost fan belt, a clogged radiator due to dirty water. larm Live stock will make the farmer’s future brighter by making the soil better. * * * Gather eggs twice a week during the summer. The extra work will pay in better quality marketed. Damage from weevil and other stored grain insects can be prevented. Ask your county agent how. • • • For real success, farming must be recognized as a mode of life as well as a means of making a living. • • * It is especially necessary to make use of the silo In a season when the corn crop has been damaged by hail or drought. • • • Hog cholera caused a loss of more than $27,000,000 to the swine Industry of the United States during the year ended April 30, 1924.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson’ (By REV. P. B FITZWATER, D.D.. Dean of the Evening School. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©, 1524. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 5 THE CHOICE OF THE TWELVE LESSON TEXT—Matt. 10:1-42. GOLDEN TEXT—Freely ye have received. freely give.—Matt. 10:8. PRIMARY TOPIC — Jesus Chooses Twelve Friends. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Twelve Apostles. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Partners With Jesus in His Work. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Urgent Need for Full Time Christian Workers. Having set forth the laws of the kingdom in the Sermon on the Mount, and His power to administer the affairs of the kingdom in the miracles of the eighth and ninth chapters, Matthew now sets before us the methods which the King adopted in the propagation of the kingdom. It should be clearly noted that this chapter does not outline the policy of missionary endeavor in this age. To teach it thus, will be a grievo"s blunder. The following divisions of the chapter suggest the dispensational aspects of the lesson. I. Instructions Bearing Immediately Upon the Apostles' Work to the Death of Christ (vv. 1-15). In strictness of interpretation these teachings have no application to any inter period. 1. The Ministers Chosen (vv. 1-4). These twelve humble men were chosen and commissioned to carry forth the work of the propagation of the kingdom. They were not commissioned with church truth. These twelve stood In a peculiar relation to Israel. 2. The Sphere of Their Mission (vv. 5,6). They were to go only to Jews. They had no message for Gentiles, or even Samaritans. After Pentecost this sphere was widened. (See Luke 24:46-49; Acts 1:8). This would be a strange restriction to place upon ministers today. 3. Their Message (v. 7). "The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” This meant that the promised kingdom of Israel was at hand, that Jesus Christ, the premised King, was present and ready to set up His kingdom If they were wiL.ng to have IL This differs widely fram the message of the ministers today. After the church is translated, the same message will be tak»*n up for a brief time by the remaining remnant. (See Acts 15:13-18; Rom. 11; Rev. 7). 4. The Supernatural Authentication of Their Mlssk (v. 8). They were clothed with power to work miracles. These wonderful works were really done by the twelve. Where Is the minister today who Is so foolhardy as to try to fulfill this? 5. Their Maintenance (w. 9. 10). They were t<T make no provision for their support, but to depend wholly upon the Lord who sent them. They bad received the message and power gratuitously, and they were to give It In the same way (v. 9). Happy, indeed. would we be today if we had more ministers who are willing to 1 trust the Lord for their support Instead of bargaining for a stated salary! 6. Responsibilities of Those to Whom the Message Was Delivered (vv. 1115). Upon entering the city or town they were to inquire for a respecti able place to stay. Into that home they were to bring peace. If the people would not receive them or hear their message, they were to pronounce judgment upon them, and the turning of ’he Lord from them was symbolized by the ministers wiping the dust from their feet when turning from the people who rejected their message. 11. Instructions Concerning the Testimony From Pentecost Onward (vv. 16-23). After Pentecost, testimony for Christ would be fraught with great danger. Both Jews and Gentiles would assail the messengers with the most bitter persecutions. They were scourged in the synagogues before heathen magistrates. Instead of bringing peace to the homes they brought divisions of the fiercest kind among families. In their defense they ' were to rely upon the Holy Soirit to aid them. These conditions wore literally fulfilled in the period from Pentecost to the destruction of Jerusalem. Since the fall of Jerusalem no one has ever been scourged in a synagogue. 111. Teaching Applicable in All Ages | (vv. 24-42). The disciple has the position of one- ■ ness with his Master. He Is to couri ageously declare the whole counsel of ' God, though violently opposed, for so I completely is the Lord Identified with His disciples that He accepts treatment of them as treatment of Himself. Do Not Confuse : It is a solemn truth, and one which • we need to lay to heart, that it is pos- ' sible to “hold the truth in unrighteousness.” It is possible to know the Bible from cover to cover, and yet not to be sanctified. It is possible to hold the most orthodox doctrines with regard to justification and sanctification by faith, with regard to the present work of the Holy Spirit, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ tn glory, and yet not to have our lives changed one whit by the mere holding of these truths. Let us be very careful that we do not confuse mere seeing with being!—.J Stuart Holden. Must Come to Him If He did not love sinners there would be none for Him to love. We , may be His enemies, or may neglect ' all His beseechings; but He is still 1 our friend, wishing us well and desiring to bless us. But He cannot give us His deepest friendship unless we j are willing to recognize our sin. We l must come to Him on the footing ot 1 transgressors if we are to come to Him at all. —Alexander Maclaren.
