DANGER OF CANCER - SEEN IN TOBACCO Expert After Long Study Thinks Most Mouth Cancers Result From Tobacco 17sc. Harrisburg, Pa.—Protracted use of tobacco was called the principal though remote cause of mouth can cer at a meeting of the Dauphin county medical society. It also was said that tobacco may be rid of much of its danger by cleanliness of the mouth. “There is no question,’’ said Dr. Joseph Colt Bloodgood of Johns Hopkins, “that the most common cause of cancer of the mouth to ■fiy Is the long continued use of to w*ceo. The second is ragged, dirty teeth. Cancer of the mouth must have been very rare before the dis covery of tobacco in America. Traced to Africa. “It Is since the discovery of to bacco that we have learned that some barbarous tribes in Africa have cancer of the mouth following the chewing of betel nuts. It was the smoking of the short pipe in Ireland that first called attention to cancer of the mouth and lip. We have no evidence, now that we have our recent experience, that it makes much difference whether it is pipe cigarette, cigars, chewing tobacco, or snuff, or betel nut. Apparently it is the irritation that is the chief cause. The fact that women rarely have Canoer of the mouth as compared with men is in favor of the con clusion that tobacco is more pre POPULAR EXCURSION FARES TO NORFOLK & RICHMOND FRIDAY JUNE 13, 1S30 Round Trip Fares From SHELBY, N.

CARDUI USED BY WOMEN FOR OVER M YEARS Take Thedford’s Black-Draught for Constipation, Indigestion, and Biliousness Cl dominant cause than teeth. Cancer of the mouths of women in this country were first observed among women who used snuff and who took very little care of their teeth. Cancer is undoubtedly more fre quently observed in men who use tobacco in any form and do not take good care of their teeth. Other Common Causes. “My observations show that the most common cause of mouth can cer among women today is due to the use of snuff, ill fitting plates, the absolute neglect of areas of ir ritation and sores produced by rag ged teeth or rough and dirty teeth. “The modern woman has therc jfore demonstrated—and this should I be a good example to men—that smoking is rid of much of its dan gers when the teeth are kept in perfect order and the use of tobac co in any form is dlscountinued the moment a sore spot or a white spot is observed, or any irritation of the mouth. It should not be diffloult to teach this to children in the pri mary schools and to continue this instruction in later life. “There are many people in this country who have formed strong organizations who are attempting to deprive by law everyone of tobacco and are using the danger of a can cer as an argument. I have refused to give them aid or to agree with their conclusions as to tobacco and cancer. Only Treatment. “My evidence convinces me that everyone should know that the only treatment for any. irritation pro duced by tobacco, with and without the secondary factor of teeth or plates, is the discontinuation of the tobacco. It is dangerous experiment to try radiation and the continua tion of the tobacco. Reduction of the amount of tobacco is not suffi cient. Dangers are encountered and lives lost by any compromise. I write with the courage of my con victions, after a study of more than 40 years, and our records in the surgical pathological laboratory of the Johns Hopkins hospital cov er almost 4,000 cases.” Among repeated reference to to bacco Dr. Bloodgood called it a “re mote danger of cancer.” Bad Enough. An old country farmer was spend ing a holiday in London, and was seeing the, sights. After a time he came to the labor exchange. He stood for awhile gazing at a door with a sign, “Woman’s Exchange.” The clerk, a plain-looking young woman, replied: “Yes.” “And be you the woman?” Once more the clerk replied In affirmative. “Then, I think I’ll stick to Mar tha,” said the old farmer, in firm tones. 666 Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia ‘n 3 minutes, checks a Cold the llrst day, and checks Malarie in 3 days. 666 also in Tablets.

(adv.) 20 Nations Help Make Americans Well Dressed; Geography Shows Products «f Forlrgn Countries Worn Herr. Murh Orography In Clothes. Washington—What will the well dressed business man wear this summer? London and New York haberdash ers have their own answer to that question; geography predicts he will wear the products of twenty for eign countries, more or less. “IX bright national labels were pasted on the pieces of masculine wearing apparel, wholly or partly of foreign origin, the well dressed busi ness man would look like a trunk just returned from a world tour of the best hotels," says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society from its headquarters here. “From top to toe, this American, attired for the street, is a walking economic league of nations. “He may declare that his hat came from Danbury. Conn.; his shirt and collar from Troy, N. Y.; his necktie from Patterson, N. J.: his coat and trousers from a local tailor, his fountain pen from Chica go, his money from a United States mint, and his shoes from Massa chusetts, but that isn’t half of it. “Take his hat. for example. It may have been made tn Italy, Ecua dor or the Philippines. If it was made in the United States, the straw probably came from abroad, from Switzerland. Italy. China or Japan In one recent year the Unit ed States imported 380,000 miles of braided straw for hats. ‘The leather sweatband probably came from a New Zeland sheep: the filmy gauze of cotton net under the crown of England. SUk From Japan. “His collar, a trim, gleaming col lar that resists wilting. probably owes much of its stability to long staple cotton from Egypt. The Unit ed States, the greatest cotton ex porting country of the world, im ported 34.000,000 pounds of long staple cotton from the land of the Pharaoh in one recent year. Extra fine shirts also have in their weaves long staple cotton, possibly grown in Arizona or among the lowlands of the Carolines, Georgia and Flor ida, or in the British West Indies, but more probably in Egypt. “The silk of the necktie comes from Japan, of course; but if it is one of the cheap variety, sort of stiff, the kind that looks fine the first time it is tied, bad the second, terrible the third, then it is prob ably loaded with tin from Singapore. "His coat, his light summer coat of mohair, is Turkey’s and India's and Ecuador's gift to America. Mo hair from Turkish goats, Jute (bur lap) cloth lining from the Ganges delta to make the 'coat hold its shape and tagua buttons from Ecua dor or Columbia. “Vegetable ivory Is another name for the tagua nut. The tree on which it grows is a variety of palm with the curious habit of growing along the ground for about 20 feet and then sending up aspray about 6 feet high. The seeds of this palm are nuts, probably the hardest nuts to crack in the world. They are so hard that 23.000,000 pounds of them are shipped to the United States annu ally to be cut and carved into but tons. Malaysia Holds np His Socks. "Bright fasteners, whose polished Malay state’s tin surface was bom to bleam unseen, hold in place his garters that fit snugly as long as the rubber In them, also from the Malay States, last. “His heels are cushioned witn rub l>er from Malaysia, or Sumatra, or Java; and the enld of the pencil in his pocket is tipped with it. “The entanglllng alliances of this American’s feet are indeed wonder ful to contemplate. Four continents, at the very least, annually save mil lions of United States citizens from pattering around barefoot. Argen tina sends hides for leather of both shoes and belt; Paraguay sends que bracho extract, the Union of South Africa sends wattle and the Portu guese colony of Mozambique sends chrome ore to tan the Argentine leather. India sends lac (shellac), and Brazil carnauba wax for the shoe polish to shine the shoes. Que bracho is one of the world’s hardest woods, it turns ordinary steel saw teeth, but its high tannin contents makes it profitable as a source of tannin fluid to replace the loss of chestnut and oak bark which form erly served American tanning fac tories. Wattle, a mimosa that grows in Natal, fills the same need, while chrome figures in a chemical tan ning process of recent discovery. Ends of Earth Fill Pockets. “Now for a look in the business ; man's pocket. That fountain pen with a bright case of casein—where did it come from? From a cow, not an American cow, in all probability, but an Argentine cow. because in Argentina there is a smaller demand for milk for food than in the United States. Casein for pens and similar objects is solidified milk. The very point of the pen, the part he writes with is not gold, but ididium, most likely from the platinum mines of societ Russia's Ural mountains. 'The yellow pencil in the coat pocket has a lead of American or Mexican graphite, and paint colored by Rhodesian chrome yellow, bound by American or Argentinean linseed oil, and provided with a durable sur face by lac from India, perhaps, nr jtung oil from far up the Yangtse, in 1 Chinan, or kauri gum from New Zealand bogs. j “Paper of bis pocket memo pad may be all American; more probab ly it Is Canadian. Cigarets are doubt less of American tobacco. with a pinch of Turkish tobacco from Greek Macedonia too. It may be. wTapped In clgaret paper from Prance.

He may shun a Canadian dime but never a Canadian nickel, for nearly all our nickels are Canadian. The chief United States of America contribu tions to a nickel arc the Indian and the buffalo.” WHAT IE WiH DID WITH $2 BILL Old Advertisement Published 1889, Shows Dollar Bill Was Much More Elastic Then. Hickory.—What's the value of a dollar today? Persons who are wont to com plain of the inelastic tendencies of the dollar bill nowadays would find scant comfort if they could find a copy of the Press and Carolinian of 41 years ago this week—June 4, 1889. Under that date The Press and Carolinian announced In an adver tisement under the caption "The Age of Wonders” what one woman did with a $2 bill. Here's what he said' “The lady who stepped Into our store and was afraid to buy a piece of dress goods, simply because It was lying on the ten cent counter, found out her mistake after going somewhere else and paying IS cents for an inferior article; for on the following Sunday, when she went to church, she saw one of her neighbors who had bought her drees from us at ten cents per yard, that “out-shined'’ her 15c one. But she got even the following week by giv ing her oldest daughter $2 and sending her to our store to buy goods. She carried home; 12 yards of those beautiful sa teens. 1 yard Kuching. 1 sUk veil. 1 large wash basin 2 pint cups. 1 half-gallon cupi 1 bottle Ink. 1 pen and one fine penstock. 8 papers English needles. 1 market basket. “When her mother saw these goods she exclaimed, ‘This is truly the age of wonders 1’ “But we had to sympathise with that modest and economical young lady who had not heard of our cheap store, but went somewhere else and paid <2.25 for a pair of dress shoes. By chance she hap pened in our store and saw some of our fine dress button shoes that we sell for 91-90. She became anxious to swap, but we could not afford it. However, for accommodation, when she promised to bring us two dozen eggs ‘to boot’ we did swap. After sometime we did manage to sell her $2.25 shoes for ..75, but did not consider that we sold any bargain at that. ■Our heart always rejoices when we send our customers away pleas ed. So it was when a lady sent her little boy to us with a note and $1.50 in money, asking us to send her the following goods, and she would send us the balance of change when her husband came home. 1 good broom. 1 10-qt. milk bucket. 1 gallon coffee pot. 2 large cakes soap. 1 large stamped dipper. 3. yds. fine white goods, like sam ple. 1 gallon covered bucket. 2 yds. cambric. 1 half-gallon oil can and 1 half gallon of that high grade lamp oiL “I filled the bill and returned her three cents In change.” The Press and Carolinian was a weekly paper published in Hickory, every Thursday. Some Times They’re Honest In Politics (R. R. Clark in Greensboro News) "Politicians may be honest fel lows.” is the qualified observation or the Shelby Star. In a North Car olina, town—this is a true story—a couple of business houses were in active competition for a certain line of country produce. One day the head of one of the houses he had corraled a couple of loaded wagons, only to find that while his back was turned they had been lured away by his competitors. The \ ocal protest was vehement and pro fane. The competitiors were called crooks, thieves, and such other similar hard names as came to mind. When the vocabulary was ex hausted .the indignation subsided with this conclusion': '"That Is. in beezness; oderwlse very nice people.” The conclusion Is that The Star has some doubts of politicians be ing "honest fellows" in politics. Otherwise they may be honest .enough. THANK YOU! I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Democratic voters of Cleveland county who Saturday re-nominated me for sheriff.
