For a government in parliament without a majority, is really no government at nil. Premier Baldwin returns, but cer tainly In; can have no' illusions regarding the necessity of packing up and getting ready for departure. Aiiothcr such victory and Premier Baldwin's political career will end. ' ; ..It is difficult to explain the apparent surprise of the London stock market at the result. Usually stock markets are keen in diagnosing political situations. From this distance one could see no possible vic tory of a decisive nature for the party in power. ; . For conditions in England are bad. The people,, particularly the workers, are in n desperate 'frame of mind. Naturiilly' tlie party in. power had to bear that burden. The remarkable thing is that the Baldwin government received a plurality, when general conditions in Lircat Britain are considered. But the result does not necessarily mean a labor government. Ba ilor has gained, but so has the liberal party. And there is no reason why the liberals and conservatives should not join forces in the near fid ure. Kiigland is essentially conservative. The natural political cleav age lies between radicals and anti-radicals. If Lloyd Cleorge and As iuilh could smoke a pipe of peace, Ascpiilh and Baldwin,' confronted by a Bolshevik regime, could smoke many of them. So while a labor government has been predicted for many years, there is nothing in yesterday's election to indicate such uu occurrence at least in the immediate future.

Address Dr.- William Brady, In care of this newspaper. Caught in One day near the end of November, a Kentucky woman started on a rail road journey of about nn hour. .She sat in tho waiting room at tho depot half an hour. It was a cold day, with a stiff wind blowing. Tho waiting room was unheatcd. Tho Woman felt chilly and shivered. By and bye tho train camo along and sho boarded It. Tho coach was un heatod and tho win dows were open. The woman felt chilly and shivered some more on the1 train. " When she alighted nt the end of her little journey she was sneezing, and, she later testi fied, suffering from the effects of a cold. whatever that may bo. This cold, sho- and her witnesses were able to estab lish subsequently to tho satisfaction of the court, soon "developed 'Into grip" and tho woman waft confined to her bod with grip for six weeks. Sho obtained a judgment for $700 damages against tho director general of railroads (It happened in 1918), but an appeal was taken, for tho rail road people argued tha,t there was (it the time an epidemic of influenza that was tho reason thoy had the coach windows opeh" and they' argued that tho woman had simply contracted a germ disease shortly be fore sho began her journey, that this germ disease (iufluonza or grip) was not caused by exposure, and anyway there was a reasonable doubt whether tho patient had suffered from Influ enza, for which the railroad could not bo held responsible, or a cold which might havo been caused by tho rail road's negligence. Railroad attorneys aro usually shrewd' men, but In this case they apparently overlooked an opportunity to place' upolt tho woman's shouklors the burrtirn of' proving that such ex Leather Goods Collar Bags: for Soft or St a relied ' Collars' ' $1.50 to $3.50 Purses 101?

Tho woman would have a hard' time prov ing that, because it isn't so; The Ken tucky cpurt of appeals, however, just rissumes that it is so, without any proof at .all, just hearsay or fancy. Tho court held,' in, affirming tho judgment that "it is a matter of coihmon know ledge that colds may be easily con tracted under conditions such as de scribed", by the woman who sought damages. The court could havo as sumed similarly fanciful 'notion as to yellow fover 30 years ago; then it was "a matter of common ' knowledge," that yellow fever was a contagious di sease; so certain were' tho benighted people of tho contagiousness of the disease that thoy generally established shotgun quarantine around communi ties where tho disease appeared. Uut we know now that the people were sadly mistaken about that, for yellow fever can be spread only through tho carrier agency of the Htegomyia breed of mosquito, which agent has no re spect for shotguns or tho complacent delusions of tho law. "Tho uncontradicted evidence" pur sues tho 'court, "shows that the plaintiff did contract such a cold on this Journey, and that her sickness followed." Whether the woman's Ill ness was "grip," ' influenza or any of tho other -respiratory- diseases which masquerade under this all en veloping title of "cbld" (until tho doc tor can get somo idea' Just what alls tho patient really), the" period' Of incu bation, less tlian half an hour, was certuinly uniquo in medical annuls.

Tho dentist Is probably right. Uneruptnd or impacted wis dom teeth cause a great ileal of trou ble in young adults, the pain some times masquerading as facial neuml da and tho exhumation of tho sulk ing molar being the- only relief. This requires a general aneineiic. jieru . oiid install where tho X-ray negative doos determine the diagnosis1. I . ;' T ' ; ' Cancer on. the Lip My father has a cancer on his lip. what they call a pipe cancer. Do you think electric treatments would cure It? Some say they will and othera don't think so.

I fear tbal by the 'time your father makes up his mind to submit to treatment tho cancer will have advanced beyond the'1-hope ' of cure. In Home cases of cancer of the lip cure may be obtained from X-ray treatments, but as a 'rule 'tho' duly hope of euro lies in Immedlato opera tion, with somo X-ray treatments of the scar to prevent xecurroncopor haps. ' No electric treatment will cure cancer; Ushig a plaster in lieu of tho painless, surgical treatment is ft hide ous act of cruelty In this day of en lightenment. The caustic In the iilas tOr destroys whatever It touches, of course, but I'd hate to subject any liv ing being to that sort of blind ruthless surgery as long as there were a-surgeon to bo had with a clean knife di rected by humane intelligence. The great majority of alleged cures ' df cancer by pastes and plasters aro mis taken diagnosis benign conditions wrongly called cancer." -In thoJgret majority of cases of actual 1 cancer troated with plaster or paste the vic tim suffers horribly and the 'erudo attempt ends In disastrous failure. Still I must-admit I have seen some successful Tcsults from- tho uso of plaster or paste for small surfaco can cers (epithelioma), tho the suffering under -treatment was certainly " far greater than would have been the case with surgical removal of tho can cer; the scar that remained was far moro disfiguring than is tho scar of a clean operation. Tho patient under tho plaster treatment descended Into tho valley of death from septicemia rather too far for safety, I thought. If I had a lip or skin cancor I'd prefer a surgery first program.
