- "Romance of War Enda in Mar

Star. Why should the headwriters al
ways assumes that the romance ends
where marriage begins?
An Alliance man getting along in
J'ears but with his sense of humor still
ntact tells this one on himself.
Night before last he retired either too
early or too late, and his sleep was
troubled. Worse than that, he had a
nightmare, and a mean riding one, at
that, He dreamed that he awoke to
find a burglar in the hou?e. For five
.t ten, minutes he wafched the fellow
prowl about, MW him collect the fam
ily silverware into a bag, and then
the burglar'B manner made him mad.
Jumping out of bed (still a dream, you
tinderstand) he Relied the Intrude? by
"th. coat collar and proceeded to kick
Mm where it would do the most good.
He kicked long and forcefully and he
suddenly awakened in earnest, to find
that his right foot was paining him
terribly. He looked at it and found
all five toes bleeding. He had been
kicking the wall. Now he hobbles
when he walks, and if you find a port
ly, gray-haired gentleman walking as
though his corns bothered him a lot,
you've found the hero of this tale.
This experience reminds us of an
other Alliance man who, on retiring,
neard a burglar downstairs. He hast
ily awakened his wife and seizing her
by the shoulders, pushed her out into
the hall and started down the stairs,
hold.ng her In front of him, hostage
like. "Why," she protested, "why do
you put me in front where it s danger
ous? Maybe he'll shoot" "Darling
paid the scared householder, with that
tering teeth, "it's a mighty mean bur
glar who would shoot a woman."
A rancher strolled into the Model
market ami engaged Jones in conver
sation. "I wouldn't mind buying some
bacon," he confessed, "if the price
were right." "What did you pay for
the last bacon you bought," inquired
Jones. "Twenty-eight cents a pound,"
was the reply. "Well, 1 can beat that
just 2 cents," said Jones. "I've got
Mime good bacon here ut 20 cents a
pound." "I'll take a couple of slabs,"
nai'd the rancher. "I like to trade
where I get beat the most."

Dr. J. P. Weyrens Talks
to the Alliance Lions
at Thursday Luncheon
Pr. J. P. Weyrens of the Slagle
clinic or this city spoke to the mem
hers of the Alliance Lions club at i
regular luncneon inursday noon on
the subject of "Cancer." rivin? one of
tne most interesting and instructive
talks which the club has ever been
favored. Dr. Weyrens illustrated his
talk with blackboard sketches i us-
trating his points.
Cancer, he said, is a breaking down
of the bodily tissue at some point
where it has been bruised. Ordinarily
the body, when functioning properly,
win replace broken down tissue with
new cells. When a cancerous growth
appears, it is due to the fact that
the cells replacing those destroyed are
immature and lacking in resistance,
strengtn ana stamina. Mich cells, the
speaker called "infant cells."
Dr. Weyrens said that while it was
possible to explain what cancer is. It is
more difficult to explain why it should
develop. This "why" of cancer has
never been satisfactorily answered, he
declared, even though it has been
found possible to cure the condition.
group of physicians and surceons
selected from all over the country, has
investigated cancer for a number of
years, and were compelled to confess
themselves unable to explain why a
cancerous growth should develop.
Positive cures for cancer were given
by Dr. Weyrens, who said that all
that was necessary was to remove the
diseased tissue. The methods in use
are surgery. X-ray or radium and
cauterization by means of arsenic
paste. The speaker favored' surgery
as the most satisfactory, the cleaned:
and surest way of dealing successful
ly with cancer. He impressed unon
h.I hearers the fRct that where there
ft a cancerous growth in the body,
the diseased cells may be taken to
other parts of the body through the
bipod, or lymph tracts, and secondary
cancers result.
Cancerous tissue must be removed,
he said, before secondary cancers ap
pear, otherwise treatment may remove
only a part Of the trouble. Arsenic
paste is a sure means, he said, but is
slow, for it takes a week or more to
accomplish what surgery will accom
plish in five minutes. The X-ray or
radium treatment is successful, he de
clared, if undertaken by a careful op
erator, who will be sure that all the
cancerous tissue is removed, and that
none of the healthy tissue surround
ing it is burned. Surgery he believed
the best method of coping with the
disea?e. for the treatment is swift,
sure and clean. Unless the work of
removal is thoroughly done, the cancer
returns within a few years.
A number of out-of-town guests
were entertained at luncheon. S. H

tual Life Insurance company of New

Rules and Practices
Governing Patients
in City Pest House
The presence of an out-of-town Da-
tient in the city pest house has given
rise to considerable discussion durimr
tne past two or three days, with the
result that the cit yauthorities have
investigated the proposition. In this
case ,the patient pays all expenses,
and thei"e is no problem of deciding
who is to pay the bill, but the discus
sion has brought out the need for a
more general understanding of the
rules governing certain cases for fu
ture guidance.
There was some complaint on the
part of the attending physicians that
the pest house was not in shape to
receive patients from outside the city,
short time after the patient had been
brought to Alliance, necessary sup-
plies were taken out there and a tele
phone installed. City officials take the
stand that while they are willing to
reiceive patients from outside the city,
the city is not obligated to furnish
quarters for them. In this case, the
city officials say, no advance notice
was given that the pest house was to
be utilized.
Some time ago, during the admin
istration of Mayor A. D. Rodirers.
there was some talk of using the city'
pest house for contagious cases from
all over the county, the county com
missioners to pay necessary expenses
for patients living outside the munic
ipality. This was discussed at some
length, but no formal agreement was
ever entered into, according to City
Attorney Metz.
The rules of the state board of
health require that contagious diseases
occurring in the city be reported to
the city board of health within twentv-
four hours, and outside of the munic
ipality report is to be made within
that time to the county board of
health, such report to be made by the
attending physician, the head of the
family or the person in charge. Fori
general information, the membership I
