At tbe present moment there are more than two hundred and twen. ty-flve thousand cases of cancer In the country alone. These figures lend a very human Interest to tbe progress that Dr. Gas ton Odin of Paris la reported as hav ing made toward the absolute cure sought in vain by the best of minds in the medical world for so many years. In aplte of the impossibility of say ing Just yet that a permanent cure for cancer has been found, it Is quite true that certain phases of the disease can be conquered if taken in its earlJt stages. With the object of drawing public attention to the possibilities of relief the clinical congress of sur geons when met In Brooklyn recently, took steps to open a publicity cam. palgn throughout the country which It ia hoped will stop the ravage of consider the number who will be kept busy merchandising for these farm ers; hauling things by rail o them; raising live atock for the Irrigation farmers to 'finish': mining low-grade ores that couldn't be worked uules civilization were brought closer to tticm than It was before irrigation projects brought t.

They knew Just whnt to do with Irrigation lands, they did It, and thev succeeded. "The best advice to give. In every case, to people, who have thought of trying the new system of farming, is to Investigate with the utmost care before lumping In.
