This is part of a program to im- prove Canadian sales of farm pro- ducts in the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere. Hon. J. G.

The cattlemen of the Do-| minion have been urging upon the Minister of Agriculfure the need for further emphasis on thir matter. An ample market for Canadian live cattle at somewhat better prices than have been pre- vailing would be of treinendous value to Canadian farmers in| every province. Profits in Textiles Some rather sensational evi- dence has been brought out by the Turgeon royal cormission which is investigating the textile industry in Canada. Eyebrows have been lifted here and there at! the profits which have been ac-, cumulated by some of the com- panies, especially when they are set in contrast against the wages. paid some classes of employees. _ The "hidden inventory reserve" of Canadian Cottons Limited, has also come in for attention. Al- though the officers of the com-, pany claim that everything was done to safeguard the company) against undue fluctuations, and that in the long run the reserve all come out in the balance sheet and had taxes paid upon it, of the income tax department.'

The angle which will be follow-; ed with especial interest across the country is what effect these $ disclosures will have on the tariff contagious nor infectious: it is policy of the Mackenzie King government. Substantial slices have already been cut off the Bennett duties on textiles, and so far the action does not seem to have ruined any of the companies. It has enabled the Canadian con- sumer to enjoy a bit more choice when time came to buy cloths and clothing. But anyone who has brought in a shipment of textiles recently knows that the tariff is still moderately high on most lines.

Iron get. Talk About Defence We are beginning to hear a lot about defence programs, about orders for aeroplanes, about de- stroyers. There is not much of an official nature to announce. A great deal of talk can be dismis- sed as idle gossip.

Thousands of Well-Authenti- cated Cures. Necessary for Public to Learn the Earliest Signs. Early Treatment Would Save 95% of all Surface Can- cers. $ , Cancer is a riot of the normal cells of the body. The ordinary cells of one's body divide in reg- ular fashion in the course of from 2to 12 hours. It is a well control- led process essential to growth and development. A cancer at first is a single cell. As such it is infinitely small. The growth of a cancer cell is uncon- trolled. It isasort of bolshevist; it divides and grows rapidly; its growth is many times faster than the growth of the tissue cells from which it sprang. The chief cause of which we know anything, except in the case of age, is chronic irritation of some kind, 'irritation prolonged for a considerable length of time. The irritant may be a jag- ged tooth, a badly fitted denture, dirty teeth, the influence of hea- vy smoking or chewing tobacco, the effect of tar or lubricating oils on the skin. Certain dyes, such as the aniline dyes, cause cancer in the urinary bladder. Arsenic may cause cancer of the lung. Now and then a mole plac- 1 id i this ed somewhere on the skin where, view does not coincide with that it becomes irritated will resultin WELL BABY CLINIC cancer. There are hundreds of cer. Age, like an irritant, is a pre- five years of age. Cancer is not inherited, but the tendency to have cancer may be an inheritance. Cancer is not not due to civilization nor the food of civilization. It is found in all climates, in all clasess of people. About one in every ten persons is fated to have cancer. The early signs of cancer must be elarned by everyone if we are to have, what is essential to suc- cess, early treatment. Pain is not an early sign Most cancers fail to cause pain until there is pres- sure on a nerve or interference with the function of some im- portant organ.

But be sure that he gives you within reasonable time a decided opinion one way or another. It may be difficult. It is rarely impossible. What you bring to the doctor suspecting cancer is either a cancer or is not a cancer. | The doctor on his part must luse all the resources at his dis- posal for the purpose of prompt and correct diagnosis. He has the microscope, the X-ray and ithe test-meal. He can call in the aid of an expert. For your sake and for the reputation of his pro- fession, the doctor must do his very best. And that he will do. | What are the resources of treatment? Excellent in this and most countries. had frequent opportunities of comparing the medical education | of Canada with that of most of the civilized countries of the world. Canada in this respect| does not lag behind any. There are only three methods of treatment of any value in can- cer. These are surgery and the use of X-rays and radium. No quack ever cures a cancer. Rare- ly does he know whether the dis- order he treats is a cancer or not, All a quack does for the victim of cancer is to delay the securing of proper treatment. Surgery treats 70% of all can- cers coming for treatment and surgery, in spite of the fact that many cases come for treatment at a very late date, makes an ex- cellent job of it. Surgery is pro- bably the best form of treatment for all internal cancers, those of the deeper parts of the throat. the larynx and the breast; but 'even in these situations, X-rays and radium are valuable auxiliary methods. 4 The X-rays and radium are probably the best methods in all surface cancers, in those of the lips, tongue, mouth and upper parts of the throat and particu- larly the cervix of the uterus in women. | All over Canada in large hospi- tals there are the best of facilities | for the treatment of cancer.
