Address Dr. W. J. Seholss, in ears of The Durham Chronicle. Swimming is one of the best and most healthful forms of exercise. It brings into play almost all of the muscles of the body. And it is a sport suitable for most individuals from childhood until well along in middle age. Before one attempts to indulge in much swimming, he should learn the condition of his heart. Swim- ming is sometimes strenuous exer- rise. It may call upon the heart for considerable efiort. While a sound heart may be well able to re- spond to any ordinary demands made upon it, a diseased heart may not. A knowledge of one’s capac- ity to stand strain should enable one to stay within safe limits of In preportion to the number of peeple who do more or less swimming each summer, accidents in the water are comparatively few. Some of these are the result of inability to swim sufficiently well. Some result from tak- ing too many risks. Others are . the result of disease, cramps and fatigue. - activity.

Reply It may he that your daughter has defective eyesight and that. the reâ€" sulting strain is largely responsible for the inflamed and granulated eye- lids. The first thing to do is to take her to an oculist and have her eyes examined. She may need glasses. Then make sure that she is getting plenty of. sleep, is out- doors enough, eats the right kind of food and that. her general health is good. T. H.

Barnard of London show that cancer is caused by a microbe. nine out of ten medical men who have made a special study of the disease will be astonished. In the opinion of Dr. George A. Soper, managing director of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, the' great bulk of evidence hither- to accepted has been against the microbe theory, and one of the rea- sons why this is so is that the best authorities have come to the con- clusion that cancer is not one dis- ease, but a hundred, and it is hard- ly conceivable that one microbe causes a hundred difl'erent diseases. It the disease is not caused by a ispeciflc germ, then we need not ex- pect that it can be cured by a serum or vaccine. But even if the human race cannot expect to see the day dawn when there will be announced a serum of any kind that will abol- ish cancer as certainly as other dis- eases are checked or prevented by specific vaccines, the important truth is that science today knows enough about cancer to save the lives of half the. women and one- third of the men who annually die from it. This is the statement of Dr. Charles P. Childe, a noted auth- ority, who was president of the British Medical Association in 1923. Known anlemwn Unique Among Diseases Cancer has existed from very re- mote times, and always has been difficult for physicians to deal with. The most alarming feature about it is that it is increasing, and Dr. Soper says that one of the reasons is that the research work which is being done in laboratories and hos- pitals is proceeidng toward a solu- tion of the great problem by reduc- ing one by one its outlying de- fences rather than by a direct as- sault upon the citadel. The ad- vance of science has been oblique and slow because canceris not like any other disease in its pathology, course and causation. It offers complexities and contradictions which baffle .the student at every step. There is no obvious clue to he. follt'iwed. In “Neplastic Dis- eases.” a great authciirity written. by Prof. James Ewing. head of the Department of Pathology, of the lorncll Medical School. it is assert- ed that “there are more pathologi- cal entities included under the name of cancer than there are out- side of it. Cancers may occur in any part-of the body, inside or out- side of it. and they always start. as a small, local disturbance. At this stage, practically all of them can be cured. that is to say, they can be destroyed by the surgeon’s knife or by radiation. It is only necessary that. the eradication be complete. Mysteries Sometimes, and perhaps generally if not. always. cancer begins as the result of a local irritation. For in. lstance, the rubbing of the tongue against a jagged tooth, or the con- stant pressure of a pipe-stem on the tongue has been known to caUSe cancer. If the growth is not. com- pletely eradicated, there takes place one of the many inscrutable things that distinguishes cancer from other diseases. It. will break out again, perhaps not in the mouth but in Some remote part of the body, the disease being carried by the lymph of the blood. Nobody knows why this should be. so, and the obvious suggestion that a germ is being car- ried in the blood current is consid- ered crude by the experts. Another peculiarity of cancer is its power of unrestricted and unrestrainable growth. Once a cancer begins, noth- ing. short of absolute destruction will stop its growth. There is no medicine or diet that. will affect it. Radium, Xâ€"rays and the knife are the only tools that science recog- nizes. That. cancer is hereditary or communicable is also strongly doubted. or denied by science. It does not run in families. There is no case on record of a doctor or a nurse in daily attendance on a cancer patient developing the dis- ease. Dr. Sopcr says in the New York Wm'ld that our rcason why Amcri- can students of cancer are slow in acccpting published reports about. the English discovcrics is hccausc hundreds of pcople have announccd that thcy know how cancer was caused. some of them with what ap- peared to be much justification. but InCancer Quest Many Discoveries THE DURHAM CHRONICLE I?

First are t use who can in meat the cause of cancer. 803m have argugd _tha_t pork was [.110 kgnd of meat that should receive the blame. Others were sure that beef was responsible. Chicken has like- wise come in for its share“ re- sponsibility. Many other articles of food have been charged with caus- ing cancer. The list includes white bread, tomatoes, canned food, cow's milk, cheese, butter, fish, salt and sugar. Then there is the group who believe that certain physical and chemical substances are to blame. Broken bits from porcelain cooking utensils, coal smoke, gasoline fumes, road tar, coloring matter from cloth- ing and a host of other substances associated with modern civilized life have been put forward as account- ing for the cancer increase which is being recorded from year to year. Warning Sign: Cancer can be prevented, and it can be cured in many instances, but this can only be done when peo. ple learn the early symptoms and {get competent medical attention in Ime. Any sore that. will not. heal. Any lump which persists in the breast. Any continuing indigestion which will not respond to ordinary medi- cal treatment. Any unusual and unnatural dis- charge. Cancer of the mouth is much more prevalent among men than women, a fact, which has been attri- buted to men’s neglect, of their mouths and to the use of tobacco. Spectacles should not be permitted to rub upon the temples or behind the cars so as to produce chronic sores. These have been known to lead to cancer. Injuries to the mother produced at childbirth should be repaired promptly and prOperly. for they lead to not a few cases of cancer in the organs af- fected. Above all, peOplc should strive to learn about, cancer, not be afraid to talk about it, give heed to those Who by training and exper- ience and known moral character are worthy to be regarded as wise and wellâ€"informed counsellors. ARREST LONDON MAN IN TORONTO CHARGED WITH BANK ROBBERY Detectives Find $3,800 Secreted in Toronto Apartment of Leslie Hathaway. Leslie Hathaway, 27, of London, Ontario, was arrested in Toronto Sunday afternoon 011 a charge of robbing the Bank of Montreal at “I‘hormlale near London on July 3 last and escaping with seven thou- sand dollars.

That. in his opinion, is going to come into very general use, and it is his ex- gectation that not only will many uildings both in the centre of the city and in the outlying areas have landing places on their roots, but there will be high masts at which public planes, equipped perhaps with helicopter wings and carrying ,many passengers can tie up, the passengers descending from and ascending to them by means of ele- vators.

What Mr. Bossom prohpesies with seemingly highest satisfaction is that, with improved transit facil- ities, industrial plants will move far out in the outskirts, and thelr workers will move with them, the. result being the formation of many new, more or less self-depending. centres of population.
