of the facts presented by the speaker follow cancer is not as popularly belie re a modern disease tor it was known amongst the romans and alao in india in ancient times neith er is it confined to the nlw i king dam appearing both in birds and in the vegetable kiiigdom- where it mani fests itself in fungus forms because of its increasing prevalence araj toll of life amounting to 10000 hf ly in canada being second only to heart disease as a cause of death the search light of scientific investiga tion has been turned upon it as never before some facts thus brought to light can be noted cancer does not appear in healthy tissue irritation either from disease or from other sources is preliminary to the develop ment of cancerous growth hence any symptnmf indicative of such abnormal condition should be investicated promptly and the cause of the irrita tion removed cancer is the early stages is painless and due to this fact is often too far advanced when discovered for treatment to be effec tive periodical health examinations dominion seed house ja thriving industry were recommended by the speaker as being an excellent safetf nrst pro gram making for the early discovery or this as wefl

nursery firm in canada the herald called on the dominion seed house at its new mall order of fices on oueloh btreet east and en- joyed a visit at this beautiful and ex tensive tstoperty to establish a business of such ex tent study the hundreds we found this ran into the thousands of seed items plants and nursey stock var ieties appears to be a etuantlc task but this is only a small part or this large organisation office details are tremendous the addressing and mailing of 3v000 cat alogues alone means work for sever al nimble fingered young ladles but this is a trifling mutter compared with the details involved when the big rush of spring commences a single order may have anywhere from one to one hundred and fifty separ ate lltns and there are many days when well over a thousand orders and inquiries have to be handled pre paring for the particularly heavy rush period of march april and may takes practically the other nine mon ths compiling a large catalogue is something the herald can well ap preciate and we know that each and every page has enough details for a headache we do congratulate this concern in the production of such a beautifully prepared annual cata logue i- in addition to the direct mail order business an important business is de veloping from those who like to shop by motor car the new building so artistically decorated provides a splendid waiting room and show vootn for visitors we wre much impressed withttie splendid mall order office and de partment where the seed orders are luled the lighting both daylight and electric is ideal while the de lightful views from a superb elevation and over wide expanses of field and nursery is well worth a visit in itself this interesting and vapidly de veloping industry is now a real asset to georgetown and
