There Is still a lone hitching post in Thomasvllle on the pared section, but It is never used. When she beginsto try and hide her age she has come to the point where It i» not possible.

It took that to elect [ newspaper publicity that has been given the family In the past few months. There has been a bit of gossip about his affair, as well as that of hla son, him.

The Thanksgiving Turkey Is still living in hopes that his motion wont be laid on the table. The Kaiser's Memoirs merely con fess that he Is too big a fool to realize what a rascal he Is. The elevation of civilization pends on how the young men trained at home and In school. The traveling men are going out af ter business and that is a good sign that things are looking up. him.

The elephants tusks are being sharp ened to gore some donkey, but so far they haven't worked to advantage. What we like about a new bat Is the fact that everybody notices It, and some go even farther. The open window is a great thing for the man that wants to bo healthy, but It ought to bo screened. The wise man never kicks too hard when a real kicker comes along. It Is better to be safe than sorry. When a fellow buys cheap candy he can complain that It doesn't taste as good as it looks, or vice versa. Secretary Hughes says he has quit using tobacco, but that won't affect the supply ol five-cent cigars, we hope. The fighter who can't get a good nick-name before he starts thinks he has lost the battle before he starts. Jack Frost has been reported as a visitor to some sections of North Geor gia. and he was given a cool reception. Everybody would havo boen better satisfied If Jim Reed and Lodge had n’t been sent back to do more devil ment. If the Pullman Company starts nam ing cars for cities with queer Indian names, South Georgia can furnish not a few. If the Turks get their Just deserts there will be a few left to remain In side shows to show what they really were. Eleven avowed wet candidates were elected to Congress last week, but eleven times eleven wouldn't avail much. The farmers are said to be turning to Ford for the next presidential nomi nee, and even Ford will win against the standpat Harding. The abolition of the county unit la proposed by a lot of folks that could not accomplish It during the life of a certain noted Georgian. The man In love Is miserable and yet he would fight you If you told him he wasn't also blissfully and ecstatic ally happy. The man with a good stilt back bone doesn’t mind a few set backs; In fact, It merely makes the backbone all the stlffer. When a man works for an objective he ought to work sanely, so he can still enjoy It. Too much work Is as bad as none at all. The fellow that can remember all the anniversaries and present-giving days after he Is married will qualify for the Better Husbands Club. Jim Reed may be a man without a party, as Wilson says, but he poses as a leading Democrat with Republican leanings and Progressive activities. A MENACE TO PEACE Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was elected senator from the state of Massachusetts last week. So far ho has failed to get much consolation out of that election. He was elected by a minority and bis nearest opponent only polled 8,425 votes less than did the senator himself. The combined vote against Lodge would have defeat ed him by a good majority. Mr. Lodge Is too big for his bat and also for bis state. He directed the slate campaign with the calm assur ance that his name and h's fame would j do the work. He soon found that It er, and It remains quite possible for ton persons over forty years of age. that Congress to offset some of the decidedly unfavorable and undesirable actions that were chronicled during the past two years. It Is a difficult task, however, and It Is well that the party In power has to assume the responsibilities for all the legislation that Is passed. It Is sure to prove quite embarrassing in many respects and will undoubtedly pave the way for a change of forces when the time comes for a readjust ment In all national affairs. THE PROPER THING TO DO neither very complimentary to the ed. The Republican governor's plural- an d It has proven embarrass- Ity was ten times greater than was, ng to the principals as well as to other Lodge's, and be had nothing like the ( members of the family, engaged In personal prestige and distinction that'more profitable and dignified pursuits. Ur. Lodge claimed. His presUge bae ! -*“- th « milllnoalre. Is to leave home, received a very severs blow. He goes because It has become obnoxious to ly, and to worship his Intellect and his genius for politics, as something not of the earth. He should have been defeated by reason of his partisan and totally splenetic effort to discredit Woodrow Wilson by attack ing him through opposition to the League of Nations, on a point that was totally partisan and prejudicial and without any degree of political merit or worth. We hope he has learned a lesson, hnt we fear that It will fall to trickle Into the cranium of one, who has been hardened against all things that be does not approve by the continued shafts of admiration and Inane approval that have been hla own tor so long. In many respects, Mr. Lodge Is an able man. In one respect, at least, he is a menace to the peace of the world and of hla country, a hard-boiled old partisan, whose work has been the most disastrous of any ono man in the history of modern tlmos. He may get consolation out or his victory, while the world will get nothing but regret and dangers. thoroughly uncomfortable as any man that walks the streets of Atlanta In second-hand clothes, perhaps more so. A big man, to get pleasure out of life, must remain so. And he must also [avoid the appearance of evil or the evidences of foolishness and frivolity In his old age. U. S. WILL REMAIN DRY. Governor Edwards of New Jersey was elected to the United States Sen ate on a wet platform. Dr. Copeland of Now York was elected on a similar platform with a collaboration of anti- Republican factions In New York and with the aid of Tammany In the Me tropolis. This does not Indicate together, with the election of eleven avowedly wet congressmen, that prohibition has nny change of being ameliorated or emasculated, both probably being the same thing In the end. There Is a decided sentiment In the East to mod ify the Volstead law In order to per mit the state to regulate the sale of wines and Ibeers as not In conflict with the purposes of the amendment to the National Constitution. This sentiment, however, Is not so strong that It Is menacing. Many peo ple, who observe conditions carefully and have been In close touch with the Eastern sentiment are of the opinion that the light wine and heor platform will be adopted eventually and within a short time. They are merely mistak en. The prohibition forces are not fighting now as they have been. They were on the offensive before but their position on the defensive will be much more secure and defendable. Light wines and beer are not as objectionable as the open saloon and whiskey but they are merely avenues through which people will prostitute the purposes and privileges of the law to secure the contraband without so much trouble and possibility of loss, both of time and money. America Is dry and dry It will be for all time be cause In another decade even the peo ple win have seen Just what prohibi tion enforcement even In the form we NATIONAL CANCER WEEK This is supposed to be Cancer Week in the United States and it is being fostered by various medical societies and institutions for the pur. poes solely of saving lives of Ameri. can people. The staggering array of deaths that face us as a result of enneer are sufficient to cause a defi. nite purpose in the lives of all public spirited men to do their best to teach the American people how easy it might be to ward off the great num. ber of deaths from this disease if it is started in time. The objective is to bring to all poo. pe the need for immediate attention to all cases that appear to be cancer, ous. There is no hope when it has gone too far. There Is all Borts of hope when it has not progressed to any material extent. Here arc twelve known cancer facts. They are gathered by Dr. J. L. Campbell, Chairman of the Cancer Commission of the Medical Associa tion of Georgia, under arrangement with the American Society for the Control of Cancer, with headquarters in New York. 1. If an early cancer is complete, ly removed it will not return. 2. There is n time when every cancer can be cured, for it exists in what is known to scientific men as “precancer. ” 3. Cancer is first a lump or sore that “can be felt with the fingers or seen with the eye,” or gives certain definite warnings. If we knew how to interpret these warnings, cancer could be cured. 4. Nine cases out of ten do not cause pain in the early stages. This is unfortunate. 6. Cancer starts as the result of long continued irritation. If irrlta. tion is removed, cancer will not de. velop. 6. Cancer develops at the edge of a scar—where the scar and normal tissue meet. If the scar is removed, the cancer will not develop. 7. Certain definite symptoms pre. cede every cancer, just as surely as wind clouds precede the rain storm. The time coming when these aymp. toms will be heeded. 8. One hundred thousand people In the United States are annually afflicted with some form of cancer. This is on the authority of the Public Health Service. 9 One woman In every eight, who Is over forty years of age, dies of cancer. Three times as many worn. ,en as men die with cancer between are having It today, unsupported by thirty-five and forty-five years of many forces In the country can accom plish. THE CONGRE88IONAL SITUATION age. Prom that time on, the ratio Is more nearly equal. 10.

As It stands now the Rc-| 11 Procrastination has caused the publicans have control of both the ] 0H of many valuable lives. 2. Many of these deaths are pre. ventable, since cancer is frequently curable. If recognized and properly treated In its early stages. „ 3. Cancer begins as a small local growth which can often be entirely removed by competent surgical tTeat. ment, or, in certain external foims, by using radium, X-ray or other meth ods. 4. Cancer is not a constitutional or “blood” disease; there should be no thought of disgrace or of “here, ditary taint” about it 6. Cancer is not a communicable disease. It is not possible to “catch” Cancer from one who has It. 6. Cancer is not muerited. It Is not certain even that a tendency to the disease is inherited. Cancer Is so frequent that simply by the law of chance there may be many cases in some families, and this gives rise to much needless worry about inheri ting the disease. 7. The beginning of cancer Is usu ally painless: for this reason its insi dious onset is frequi nMv overlooked, and Is too easily neglected. Other danger sigiais must be recognized and competent medical advice ob tained at once. 8. Evei' persisting lamp In the breast is « wsru-ig sign All eurh lumps are by no means cancer, hnt en inn-'ost t-ornro of the breast may turn into rancor if selected. 9. In women continued unusual discharge or bleeding require* the immediate advice of a competent doctor. The normal change of life is not accompanied by increasing flowing which is always snsplcious. The retnni of flowing after It has once stopped ehonld also be consider ed suspicions. In men any reddish color In the urine is very suspicions of cancer of the bladder or kidney; though It is also seen sometimes with stone of the bladder or kidney. Do not expect the doctor to tell yon what the matter is without making a careful physical examination. 10. Any sore that does not heal, particularly about the mouth, lips or tongue, is a danger signal. Picking and irritating such sores, cracks ulcerations, etc., or treating these skin conditions by home remedies, pastes, poultices, caustics, etc., Is playing with fire. Warty growths, moles, or other birthmarks, especial ly those subject to constant irrita tion, should he attended to im mediately if they change in color or appearance, or start to grow. Avoid, imee of chronic irritation and re moval of just such seemingly insig nificant danger spots may prevent cancer. 11. Persistent indigestion In mid. die life, with loss of weight and change of color, or with pain, vomi ting, or diarrhoea, call for thorough and competent medical advice ns to the possibility of eternal cancer. 12. Radium is a useful and promi sing means of treatment for some kinds of cancer, in the hands of the few skillful surgeons nnd hospitals possessing sufficient quantity of this rare and very expensive substance; it must not be thought of as a core- all for every form of cancer. No medicine will cure cancer. Doctors and institutes which advertise “cures without the knife” play upon the patient’s fear of operation In a way that leads too often to the loss of precious time, and fatal delay in seeking competent treatment Go first to your family physician. 13. Open warfare by open discus sion will mean the prevention of many needless deaths from cancer. The common belief that cancer is hopeless malady is partly due to the fact cases of successful treatment are frequently concealed by the patient and his family while cases of failure (too often . resulting from delay) are apt to become common knowledge. 14. The American Society for the Control of Cancer is a league enlist ing the principle agencies and Indi viduals in the United States and Canada who are striving to make headway against this formidable disease by a campaign of public education to make wider use of pres, ent knowledge in its prevention nnd cure.
