Daily Health
Talk
Cancer has always been recog-
nised by the medical profession as
a disease of old age. More re-
cen'.'v it has seemed to occur fair-
ly frequently among younger peo-
ple and there are many explana-
tions advanced for this fact. It is
recognised that heredity plays a
larger part in cancer and that
inbreeding may bear some re-
sponsibility.
The British statistician. Karl
Pearson found that the maximum
incidence of cancer occurs at the
age of 46 in women and of 56 in
men. The chief cancer period is
from 46 to 64 years.
According to Sir Humphry Roi-
leston the most recently assem- !
bled figures in England indicate I
that mortality from cancer of the
most accessible sites continues to
*ncreasc up to extreme old ace.
whereas cancer in less accessible
position does not.
Obviously the reason is th»:
cancer in the stomach the Intes-
tines and similar inaccessible po- i
sh.ons is not easy to discover and
in most instances advances so
rap ally that the person dies of
the cancer. Hence such cancer d:o
not occur in people of advanced
years.
It is we!! established that cancer t
is iasoe.ated with long continued
irritation of susceptible spots in
the tissue. Obviously aged people
are more subject to long continued
Irritation than are the young.
Men suffer of course much
more frequently than do women
with cancer of the lips and ton gut
perhaps because of their smoking
habits. Even though women have
begun to smoke cigarets regularly '
it is unlikely that they will suffer
a* much with cancer of fhe lips

women are much more carefu.

Men suffer with cancer of th"

WOW GO OW WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XX
IT was. of course out of the ques-
tlou for Mona to go to see Barry.
Neither could she telephone. She
shrewdly suspected that with
Barry's uncle back from White Sul
phur. even Steve kept away from
the Townsend country home.
“I've been In this office for three
years nearly.- she mused “yet I've
never seen the firm’s most remuner-
ative client!"
Nor had she. Mr. Townsend was
one of the favored few who used
the private elevator leading directly
to Mr. Garretson's own office.
Mona glanced at her wrist watch
and saw that It was well past her
usual lunch time. Well cow that
she had delayed this long she would
wait and Inncb at the Savarln. It
was expensive but occasionally she
went there ordering the least costly
dish on the menu. Mona felt sick
at heart. The lnfluenxa might keep
Barry at home until his sailing date
and by that time perhaps he would
forget her!
A moment later Mollie Drury
passed Mona’s desk dropping a
folded newspaper. “Get a load of
that!" Mona said mysteriously.
The society page was folded out-
ward to display a rather pretty yet
vacuous face. It was the face of
a girl named Genevieve Dower.
“Miss Genevieve Dower." the cap-
tion ran. “daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
Robert W. Aldrich Dower of East
'2nd street and Southampton. L. I
will presented at a dinner dance
tonight at Ptarre’a."
| Moca raised uncomprehending
eyes and Mollle shrugged. “En-
gaged. so they say. to Barry Town-
send! Remember seeing him around
here?"
Mona remembered—as Molile bad
expected. “Engagedr she repeated
“The paper doesn’t say that does
it?"
“The paper doesn’t—but Dr
Dower and Barry Townsend's ancle
are great pals. They were down at
White Sulphur with Mr. Garret-
son."
Mona looked again at the portrait.
The face was unfamiliar but the
name—ah. she recognized It! Barry
had been called to the telephone last
Sunday when Jimmie reported.
“Miss Dower is calling."
“It is announced?" she asked
dully.
Mollle raised her hands. Indica-
ting disinterest. “Not yet. I guess
i The girl probably wants a fling In
society before she marries."
Who could want a fling. Mona
thought desperat<ay. with Barry
watting? Sh« said nothing however
and Mollie. only half satisfied with
the effect of her news descended to
eat her lunch.
Mona was about to relinquish her
poet when the telephone rang. It
was Steve once more
“Want to run out to Twllanda
with me tonight ?“ he asked. Steve
had just talked to Mrs Faxen who
%aid Barry was feeling better.
“I cant tonigbtVSteve. I’m going
to see Father."
Declining Steve's suggestion that
she should drive to Twllanda after
visiting the hospital. Mona put
down the instrument and set off for
lunch.
_
'T’HE Savarin was emptying and
A she found a secluded seat near a
corner. Without consulting the
menu Mona ordered briefly—a pot
of tea with lemon eggs Benedictine
and toast.
The cool green of the room the
music faraway but Insistent tbe
spotless linen gave ber the sense of
luxury her mood required. Pres-
ently the waiter brongbt her order
lifted the silver cover of tbe dish
proudly and poured the tea.
Mona drank the beverage slowly
Holding the cu* to ber lips she
noted that she was not. as she bad
thought alone In this section of the
room. Olrecfly across sat Mr Gar-
retson chatting with another man.
Mona noticed that the stranger ;
was slim with s slightly military
erectness and that be was regarding
her as he flicked ashes from his
cigar Into a tray. <
For an Instant bis eyes met
Mona's. Swiftly tbo girl looked
away and again considered her tea
cap.
As sbe rose to leave sbe glanced
toward Mr. Garretson who bowed.
“He'll think I’m extravagant.’*
Mona thought with alarm. Hurry-
ing away she bad the uncomfona
tie feeling that the two men were
discussing her. She didn't want
Mr. Garretson to think she wasted
money—today of all days!
For Mona had decided to ask for
an advance with which to finance
her father s treatment She would
of course approach Mr. Garretson
about it It had been Mr. Garretson
who had hired her. arranged her
*ork. and given her frequent raises
in salary.
At five o'clock Mona took the sub-
way and rode to the hospital re-
flecting as she struggled through
the crowds that this was the first
evening in a long while that the
had not made the trip In Steve’s
car.
At a corner shop she bought to-
bacco and oranges and selected
some cartoon booklets for her fa-
ther who was an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of Mickey Moose.
FOLLOWING the stiffly starched
1 nurse into the doctor's office
Mona’s heart grew lighter. With
Dad well once more she would be
so much happier. Bud was no longer
a worry. Kitty was doing well at
school. Ma had felt better lately
too. There was only the problem
of raising the money for her fa-
ther's treatment.
Stere might loan her the amount.
Mona reflected. But no—she
couldn’t ask him ror It She bad
taken such pains to make clear to
Stere just what she could accept
from him and what the could not
She remembered that once when
one of the girla had been In urgent
need of money Lottie bad conducted

no way except to ask her employer
for an advance.
Dr. Dean a slender blond young
