weeks from yesterday, find three
separate questions awaiting answer

cent alcoholic content shall be legal
ized. regardless of whether the dry-
law is repealed; the second is
whether a grape or berry’ grower
may make and serve without tax
payment wines of alcoholic content
produced by fermentation; and the
third is whether the dry law shall
be repealed entirely.
On the ballot wil lappear:
• For adoption o’, beer license act.

Cancer of The Skin
The skin ii a membranous cover
ing for the body and is constantly
exposed to irritation by wind. sun.
chemicals, and germs. Irritation is
considered un exciting cause of can
cer. Individuals with very fair com
plexions. who have a small amount
of pigment in their skin, should not
expose themselves to unnecessary
sunshine. It i> unwise for white peo
ple to engage in outdor athletics or
repeated and prolonged exposure to
the sun rays with the head uncov
ered. This exposure predisposes to
early development of scaly spots on
the skin, which are the forerunners
of s'kin cancer.
Cancer attacks the skin more
frequently than any other part of
the body. So far as we know, can
cer is i local disease in the begin
ning. Fortunately, can cer of the
skin remains a local disease, in most
cases, for a long time. Because of
this fact patients are prone to post
pone seeking early medical attention.
Cancer in and about the bodjj open
ings is generally more serious than
cancer of the skin distant to the
, I body openings. They demand earlier

An alarming number of people
continue to die from cancer of the
skin because they do not seek early
or proper medical attention. Mo6t
deaths from cancer of the skin could
be prevented.
Thlscs You Should Nal Da
1. Do not apply caustics, tincture
of iodine or other chemicals to un
diagnosed blemishes, scaly spots,
growths, ulcers and sores of the
skin.
2. Do not neglect to consult your
physician concerning any sore, ulcer,
or infl
j weeks.
Do not wait for pain to de
velop. Pain is not present
of the skin until late in the advance
ment of the disease. Itching is the
only sensation which the patient
may experience in early skin can-
4. Dc not accept advice or medical
treatment for cancer of the skin from
any person who is not licensed to
practice medicine in your state.
In closing. I wish to emphasize the
fact that cancer of the skin is
able in nearly all cases if treatment
is instituted early.

A voter may vote against repeal.

Cleanliness of the skin certainly

followed by a grease or cream is the
method of choice for cleansing the

good cold cream is more pleasant.

Moles, warts, and other skin
blemishes when subjected to fre
quent irritation should be removed
by your physician. It is not neces-
say to remove all moles. Only a
small percentage of them become
malignant. Any raised or flat mole
which suddenly begins to grow,
change in color, or look irritated
demands medical attention. Hi is is
so because cancer arising in a mole
is nearly always a rapidly spread
ing cancer which ends fatally.
If a sore or ulcer should develop
cn the skin and should not re»po*
to simple measures in a reasonable
time—say, two or three weeks—con
sult your physician. This applies,
csppcialyl, to people past middle

Prohibition Law at Stake
The general question of repeal
means the retention or discard of
the state dry law. If the majority
vote against repeal the old law stays
in effect.
If the majorMy vote for repeal,
then the Georgia prohibition law-
goes into the discard. It does not.
however, legalize the sale of liquor
of itself but establishes a local op
tion system by counties. Any county
desiring to legalize liquor may do so
by holding a county election upon
petition of 15 per cent of the regist
ered voters.
If a county, in event of repeal,
voted to legalize liquor, it could be]
sold only in uncut packages and
there could be no consumption upon
the premises except in hotel private
dining rooms.
Both repealists and nnti-repealists
already have prepared for a f’ght to
