Sunshine
(Mrs. Zilla Redd)
The crystal snow, a jeweled crown
Lay on the roofs; the hills around
Seemed clad in ermine; sturdy oaks
Like giants strong, in kingly cloaks.
Waved their ice-clad arms—anon
Scattering gems upon the ground.
Lights from many a household gleamed,
Phantoms forming with shades between,
The wind howled through the trees amain,
Or hurled the flakes ’gainst the window pane
Of the Limited Express, that night wherein I sat.
Near me, to the right,
Reclined a chlid; her golden hair,
Like sunbeams lay o’er her forehead fair;
Her limpid violet eyes she raised
And looked about as though amazed
At all she saw; one white arm pressed
A broken dolly to her breast,
And nestled ’mong the cushions there
She seemed a vertiable fairy fair.
The conductor, with a frown, at last
Came to the child, and paused aghast
As he saw her rags—nor cloak, not hat
On such a stormy night as that.
And all alone, too. What did it mean?
The good man strove to know in vain.
“Where’s your ticket, babe.” he said,
With friendly smile, patting her head;
The answer came in accents low:
“I’s dot no ticket, sir, to show,”
“Ha, hai, so you’re a little deadbeat, eh.
Does mother know you’ve run away?”
The blue eyes sought his earnest face
Ere she replied with childish grace—
“ We’ve no muver at our home,
They’ve put her in a box alone,
And one dark night they took her away.
Oh, please, good sir, to let me stay
Upon your nice, warm, wailwoad twain;
I want to find poor mama again,
And tarry her home wiv us, you know
Out of the told and wain and snow.”
The strong main’s eyes were filled with tears
He kissed the child and hushed her fears.
The mystery was all solved now;
The fever fiend had scorched her brow —
Made her pursue w.th footseps vain
The fleeting fancies of her brain.
He wound her about, the trembling girl,
A fur-lined coat; the flaxen curls
Brushed gently back, musing the while
Of another fair-haired, bonny child
Too pure for merely human love,
With angels soared to realms above,
“If the tiny maiden has no home
I’ll take with me to my own,
My ransomed angel’s place to fill
That's empty now.
I’ll call her sunshine, for her bright
Young face will make my sad heart light;
She’ll banish all consuming care
By her sweet prattle everywhere.”
Soothed, the weary child soon slept.
Though flushed cheek and lashes yet
Glistened as morning meadows do
When sunbeams fall or sparkling dew.
1 he traiuman went to his work again.
Stealing back now and then
To glance at the slepeing child.
Once he kissed her and sadly smiled;
As he turned away a telegram
Was thrust into his open hand.
A shudder ran through every vein
As he read: “Put child on return train."
The color left his rugged cheek
He seemed too dazed at once to speak.
At length in whispers hoarse he said,
“ ‘Twill grieve the child when this is read.
I’ll rouse her now for it is best.”
He removed the coat; her brow ca.reseed —
‘Twas icy cold. Her white hands there
Like marble lay on her bosm fair;
A smile her bounteous face o’er spread—•
Mama was found and Sunshine dead.
PUBLIC SHOULD
KNOW CANCER
PREPARED FOR PUBLICATION BY
THE CANCER COMMISSION OF
THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF
GEORGIA AND THE GEORGIA
DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN SO
CIETY FOR THE CONTROL OF
CANCER
WARNING NO. 2
In America and elsewhere cancer
appears to be increasing rapidly. In
1922, there were 20,000 more deaths
in America from cancer than there
were in 1900. There are several rea
sons why this is true; one fo the chief
being that medical science and the
nursing methods of the present day
have added many years to our life
cycle; consequently, more people than
ever before reach the “cancer age."
We know for a certainty what can
cer is, but we do not know definitely
what causes it. We know that it
arises as the result of long continued
irritation and that it is reported from
year to year with almost unvarying
irequency in certain pirts of the body.
Cancer of the Digestive Tract: Di
gestion begins in the mouth; therefore
It is well to consider the frequency
and character of cancers in this loca
tion. Five per cent of all cancers are
on the lips or in the mouth. The
former are mcst frequently on the low
er lip. About 90% of them in men
who smoke to excess and, therefore,
they are sometimes called the “pipe
smoker’s sore.” They are also caused
by irritation from an overhanging
tooth, but are rarely seen in people
under fifty years of age.
An early cancer of the lip looks
like “cold sore" or “fever blister," or
it may be only a scaly spot which does
net heal. It is dangerous because
it spreads quickly to the glands of
the neck. It may be healed by a num
ber of remedies only to re-apptar
just under the jaw a few months later
If properly treated early, it can he
cured; but if it reaches the neck
glands a permanent cure is doubtful.
In the mouth a cancer may in lo
cated on the tongue, gums, or under
the tongue. It may resemble a "gum
boil” or an ulcer when a gum-b. il has
opened. A persistent white spo», ul
cer, or lump, on the tongue will very
often develop into a cancer. Irrita
tion from a broken tooth or an ill
fitting dental plate is a frequent cause
which can be avoided. Oral spesis
and the excessive use of tobacco are
recognized causes; one of the foremost
authorities on the subject says. “I
have never seen a cancer of the mouth
in ,gn individual who did not use to
bacco to excess." This, however, does
net always apply.
A lump or ulcer on the tongue or a
persistent white patch should cause
suspicion and receive attention. A
lump growing from the side of a tooth
may not be a cancer, but it should be
investigated. And lump in the mouth
especially a “sore," is dangerous. Do
not procrastinate.
Cancers in the mouth develop from
the same layer of cells as those on
the lips and spread rapidly to the
glands under the jaw and the neck
Expecting cancers in two other parts
of the body, those in the mouth are
the hardest to cure; therefore, they
should receive early attention. Al-
TJUE RBUCE fIITLZKN SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 19§4.
though the mouth is very accessible
over 75% of concers in this loca
tion are fatal, largely because of neg
lect. Mild caustics applied by people
ignorant of the real nature of the
disease only make it worse.
Cancer in the threat is fortunately
rare. If recognized early and prop
erly treated IT MAY BE CURED, but,
untortunately, the victim proscasti
nates.
c ncer of the stomach and gall
bladder (we rarely have a primary
cancer of the liver) occurs with about
e ,udi Lequency in the two sexes. It
is rarely seen in an individual under
forty-five and is much more frequent
in still older people. More than 35%
of all cancers are in the digestive
tract below the mouth. Four hundred
anu fifty of the 1,213 death from can
cer reported in the Georgia Bureau
of Vital Statistics In 1921, were in the
stomach, liver, gall bladder, and intes
tines.
It is hard to recognize an incipient
cancer of the stomach, but nature has
provided certain signals which, if
heeded, will prevent many death. In
digestion coming on after forty-five
and persisting in spite of treatment,
peglected gall stenes, on old ulcer of
the stomach, pus swallowed from a
foul mouth, and many other condi
tions may be mentioned as causes fo
stomach and gall bladder cancer ri.re
ly, if ever, develops from an ulcer
in the small intestine. They fre
quently develop at certain points in
the large Intestine—so much so, that
surgeens know just where to look for
them.
It is impossible to give a detailed de
scription of all cancer symptoms in an
article of this kind; so, whenever
there is doubt, the thing to do is to
consult your physician. Hi.ve him
make a thorough investigation and
keep a re< ord cf tae condition in ei -
der that he may compaie future synp
toms with those present at the first
examination. Be sure to follow his
advice.
