We know very little about cancer, but one point we do knowâ€"it is curâ€" able if treated promptly. To ensure early treatment, we must know the signals which nature uses to warn us of danger. A lump on the lip of a man, any unusua)l discharge, a sore on the skin which will not heal, a lump on the female breast, attacks of soâ€"called indigestionâ€"these are all signs which we should not take the responsibility of disregarding. The only person who can say whether they may safely be everlooked is your doctor. A Matter of Choice. Which do you choose? To adhere to the disinclination of the average man and woman to discuss cancer, refuse to learn the facts about it and not be in a position to help yourself and your friends should the need arise? Or to ascertain the few proven items «about cancer and thus hbelp prevent yourâ€" self and your friends hbeing listed as one of the victims? Just count the number of people you know who have suffered from cancer and you will realize how urgent is the need to learn all you can about it. Men who have given yearse to its study state that, whereas it is in their power to cure the large majority of cancers, they are only able to apply the necesâ€" sary treatment in about ten per cent. Why? The same reason is given wherever you goâ€""I did not see the patient early enough." Nobody knows bow anany cases of carcer are in Ontario at present, but everybody is aroused by the fact that this Province lost three thousand of her people fromm this cadse in 1925. Yet the cancer situation is not hopeâ€" less. Prevention "of constipation is one means in our hands to aid the preâ€" vention of cancer. The danger signals listed above are not difficult to obâ€" gerve and each means YSee the doctor" immediately it is found; this is the one powerful weapon in our hand against cancer â€"â€" early diagnosis and early treatment. Soap Used as Money. _ Probabty the queerest money, in the: world is the "soap money" used in Mexico. CA traveler says that be freâ€" quently received soap in change durâ€" ing his visit to the interior of that country. In a ceriain town he bougkt some limes from a girl, and handed her a silver dollar,. By way of change the girl gave him fortyâ€"nine pieces of soap about the size of a waterâ€"cracker, Each cake was stamped with the name of a town, with a mark indicatâ€" ing that the Government authorized the issue as a legal tender,. Some of the cakes showed signs of having been in the washâ€"tub, but that was not imâ€" common, and made no difference, proâ€" vided the stamp was not obliterated. The cakes were worth about ore and a half tents each.

MARCH WEATHER DANGEROUS TO BABY On Account of the Very Sudden Changes in Temperature. Our Canadias March weatherâ€"one day bright, but sloppy, the next blusâ€" tery and coldâ€"4s extremely hard on children.

Philip Dexter in the London Nationâ€" al Review: The great majoritty of our citizens would undoubtedly approve of revision or cancellation if they could be induced to think about it.
