"First. In order for an animal to le i cancer it must have a special ! of tissue, and, second, that in V for this special kind1 of tissue Image into a cancer this tissue (, have a prolonged contact with B external and internal chemi Hgent or agents. . 'lieso substances are probably Ltf from ' the decomposition ucts" of vegetable ' und animal . Such, agents ure found In tar, in shale . oil .and in tho nets of certain worms. It is reasonable to suppose that may be isolated so that we know just what the chemical t or agents are. IC'this could one a great light would be hvu on the whole subject and ite preventive measures could ikon." y vestigating the effect of heat ancer cells, Dr. Walker hasl ,d further hope of eventual sue- in the war on the disease, ng determined that, although ortal at normal temperatures. die after being subjected to degrees, Fahrenheit, for 30 itcri.

' HEALTH WHAT IOKS IMOAIniV MKAX? , Hy ( hailcs U. Clcglim-n, M. !., .Miami, Fla.' . Member Ciorgas Alemorial 1 We lire constantly hearing and reudlng about Health. Our friends are apt. to discuss their health-more than anv other tunic. . Wn ol'tcn speak i' good hearth, poorjieahh. T0 lost health, regained health, failThg health, and so on. With, such at tention being paid to this word, Health, wouldn't it be veU it' wo first got a clear uuderstjindin the word's real meaning? 'Health, we find, is variously de fined in the dictionaries. Lint, in general it can' be said to be "the condition of the body when it' is free from disease." And how do we define disease, the one and only thing Xrom which ve-inust lie-fret-if we arc to Jm healthy?' JJisense is defined as "any menial, mural. 1'ats alive afler subjecting them to the higher temperature and the bl- ologitial law thus established can developed be shown to apply to. the human ' dividual, race, he feels that realization ' of formlties or physical disorder." .That defini-1 (ion, covers a large territory. It is seen at, once that it. is no easy! task to set before, anyone to dls-1 cover in a conununity a "healthy" i person. Jtnloout first those who aro mentally abnormal, uirtl t lioxt those who are physically ajmor-j nial, and I believe we, will find thatj we. have eliminated nearly all -the! moral defectives as well, and tliati the remainder will he mighty small. To be healthy 'is just to bo heajthy. be no middle ground. There are no degrees of health, for if a person is hot i "perfectly he.-i.lfhy," as v,e say. then they' aro. diseased, be it ever so slightly. Ilut, 0f while,' Uierfl are no -degrees of I health, there are innumerable "de grees ol sickness. . Illness may be transitory and completely cured, and health 'may be restored, but while disease Is present health Is. absent. -v -' To be. healthy, means that many separate, physical systems must be working snioothly and efficiently. Let us- mention some of - these. Nys terns and how theT"nTTfHt'"ro"'Re'pt to be healthy. The bony skeleton must be well for the age of tho in It must bo free from do and each bone held in and so exercised as to he capable of quick and vigorous response wher ever "tliey- may be situated. Then the nervous system -must be well balanced. Can wo relax and take proper rest and sleep? Does our blood circulate' well and under a normal pressure? Can our heart respond to a sudden call for extra exertion und pot falter? Is our blood red and strong? Do we keep our lungs well Inflated with pure air by deep breathing? And then how about- our' poor digestive or gans? How do we treat them?
