After many years of waiting the Standard
Oil company has made automobile owners
a present of a reduction in the price of
gasoline, but some dealers have not con
stdered It worth while to give their cus
tomers the benefit of It, even though they
have sold them automobiles, according to
H. B. Fredrlekson.
The Standard Oil company has been get

but oome charitably Inclined director i
thought the increased demand ought to re
sult In a reduction In the price and named
11 cents as the price of gasoline after a
long and weary battle.
Automobile dealers have been selling
gasoline et their garages for 20 cents, and
when the reduction was made soma of the
dealers marked It down to 15 cents per
gallon. This leaves them a profit of 4
cents, about 1 cents, however, is lost In
shrinkage and evaporation, still leaving the
dealers 2H cents profit, which they make
on fuel to run their machines.
Dealers who get 70 cents per gallon for
the gasoline are making a profit of 9

'. "See that fellow that Just went out the

Grand, Saturday morning. "He wanted to
buy a cut rate ticket to Denver. Of course
we did not have any and would not have
sold him one If we had.
"We have applications of this kind al- i
most every day and I suppose It Is the
same way at all the hotels.
"Since the ticket brokerage business has
been knocked out parties are constantly
trying to sell to or buy unused portions of
railroad tickets of the hotels. Sometimes
the caaes are genuine, but the majority of
them are put up Jobs to catch the unwary
hotel man by spotters.
"One hotel clerk over Irt Des Moines got

tingly took a tjcltet W deposit to sell, sup
posing that the man offering It' was on
tha square., ...That afternoon another fellow
came into tha hotel- and J! asked.' slot Just
such a ticket, and the clerk, unaware of
the law against ticket brokerage, sold the
ticket to this party. The clerk was ar
rested the next day and had to put up a

work of the new residence, which cost
$20,000.
The report was circulated that the costly
house had settled by reason of being built
on filled ground and was In danger of top

tirely erroneous, that the house has not
settled one-sixteenth of an Inch, that It
shows absolutely no signs of "toppling

as stable as any building In Omaha.

Harvard Medical Professor Claims
Disease Is Now Curable Great
Results Shown In Bay
State Hospital.
Is cancer curable T The question was an
swered In tha affirmative with the am
phasls of confidence by Dr. J. O. Mumford
In a recent lecture at the medical school
of Harvard university. In support of his
assertion the doctor, detailed the remark
ahlo nrovreaa which has been made In
checking the Inroads of the dreaded dls
ease. Quoting In part from the Boston
Herald's report of the lecture the doctor
said:
"Progressive physicians have always be'
lieved and still believe that under proper
circumstances cancer may be cured. Lay
men have always believed and still believe
that cancers are Incurable are hopeless.
The laymen are wrong. Twenty years ago
cancers were not divided into curable and
Incurable, but were spoken of as operable
and inoperable. By operable cancer we
meant a cancer which could be cut out
safely; by tnoperablo cancer we meant
cancer which could not be cut out without
destroying life. Even those cancers which
had been shown early and had not spread
could be cured. Yet the shocking fact
ft bout cancer teaching in my student days J
was that most cancers were regarded as
incurable. The early Hp cancer, the cancer
of the nose, the skin, the face, the tip
'.of the finger and the toe could be cured,
i yet breast and stomach cancers were
thought of as practically hopeless.
"Cancer was long-ago found to spread
by the lymph channels, and to Invade the
neighboring lymph glands. In such spread
ing one may conceive the cancer cells
straggling out in various directions away
from the central cancer, in a way suggest
ing the straggling roots of a plant. As It
spreads there develops more slowly and
regularly a circle of advancing cancer
growth In all directions about the center,
this circular following growth lagging far
behind the tips of the spreading roots. It
begins so small and obscure that it causes
practically no Inconvenience; In the later
stage It becomes a general disease, involv
ing arid appearing in distant regions of the
body.
"This last exuberant growth comes about
because particles of the cancer work their
way in the blood stream and are deposited
far away. A cell from a cancer in the
hand, for example, may be carried to the A
brain, so that the victim dies of secondary
cancer of the brain. At the time that this
fatal spread Is going on, the blood Itself
becomes degenerated; It ceases to perform
normally Its nutritive functions; the patient
becomes pale, then waxy and wasted, tak
ing on that dreadfully sick and cadaver
ous look which most people associate with
oancer. Remember that these general
symptoms are late, final symptoms which
occur when the patient has passed far be
yond the possibility of cure. We must at
tack the cancer early, when the patient is
well and strong, !f we are to cure him.
We can attack It early, and we can cure
him. But the operation must be thorough
and early.
Successful Operations.
"Dr. Halsted of Baltimore was the first
surgeon in this country practically and ef
fectively to demonstrate these facts. Con
vinced that a cancer of a great organ like
the breast can be dealt with on the same
principles as can a small cancer of the Hp,
he succeeded in working out a method
which In the last ten years has reduced
enormously the death rate from breast
cancer. Twenty-five years ago less than 10
per cent of the victims lived three years
after tho operation. Halsted's report last
year shower that 42 per cent of his cases
survived the three years' limit. That Is to
say, nearly half the patients were cured.
The other 68 per cent not cured were Im
mensely benefited; their lives were pro
longed and their Buffering were relieved.
Other surgeons, working on the same lines
as Hajsted, have had equally favorable re
sults. ' Ono reports 63 per cent of cures,
another 56 per cent, still another 69, and
one the astonishing figuro of 80 per cent
of cures of cancer of the breast. When
other surgeons do not secure so high a
percentage as these, it Is hecauso people,
often poor and Ignorant, postpone an opera
tion until the favorable moment has
nearly passed.

Cancer of the Stomach.
"In cancer of the ptormich. by the old
fashioned methods, nono of the patients re

collect statistics shoy(nK 0 per cent of
the patients well after, three years, while'
more recent statistics have shown 25, 30
and even 3T rr rent rurofl after this laps
of time. As Btomach cancer can rarely bo
determined by former methods until.lt Is
past the operative etatfo, surgeons have
mot this difficulty by the exploratory
operation, which conslrts of examining' the
stomach through a small Incision. The
operation ts far less grave than the opera
tion for chronic appendicitis.
"Cancer Is Incurable only If you make It
so by delay. It is readily curable Jf under
taken by a properly qualified surgeon.
Patients come too late' to the surgeon
purtly because they ore ignorant. The
early symptoms of cancer are trifling. A
slight rcrslstent sore on the tongue or lip;
a painless lump In the breast; an occa
sional slight hemmorhage from one of the
body's orifices; a slight persistent dyspep
sia which diws not yield to treatment
such are the symptoms of early cancer.
These symptoms do not at once cause Ill
health, or exhaustion ; they are seldom
painful. Why then should the patient think
them worth troubling about? It Is because
they do not disappear after a little care,
but continue week after week and month
after month. Such symptoms must not bs
neglected. Another Imoprtant factor Is the
patient's age. Cancers rarely occur before
the age of ST. They are not common be
fore 40. Cancers in the young are more
serious than In the old. Those of us who
are In the middle period of life must not
neglect apparently trifling, but persistent
sores, swellings and bleedings.
Crusade Against the Disease.
"A common cause for the patient's delay
In seeking advice is terror and false mod
esty. Then the patient dreads an opera
tion. Although the operation on advanced
cancer Is a grievous and often a terrible
ordeal, an operation on early cancer is fre
quently trifling. Many will say, 'Oh. yes
that's your business; you do thi operating,
mm we are mo or.es wno surfer.' Burn a
retort is unworthy of an educated person,
and Is ungenerous toward a humane and
thoughtful Eurgeon. In these days of ex
pert aseptic surgery, moreover, the old
j ains of operations have to a large extent
been a abolished. There Is not more pain
than can be controlled easily by drugs, and
I feel Justified In telling you earnestly and
sinefWy that the dread of an operation is
often a grossly exaggerated dread. It
should meanwhile be remembered 'hat the
number of physicians Is small who are
qualified definitely, finally unj always to
pronounce singly on the nature of a given
tumor.
"Today the prevalence of cancer Is keenly
recognised, and the crusade for Its extirpa
tion ranks second only to the crusride for
the extirpation of tuberculosis. Numerous
commissions sre Investigating and agitating
the matter; and we have a Hrva-d com
mission whrse work has been widely recog
nized. As a result some things, are reason
au'y ctrtain. For some forms of malignant
tumors certain individuals ure immune; snd
such immunity Is so widely distributed, so
that many after being infected with cancer
recover spontaneously. While the theory of
the germ origin of cancer hus not been
proved, much light hes been thrown cr. the
nature of many forms of tumors. Let me
here say that if experiments on animals
were abolished by law, we should bave to
give up all hope of finding a panacea for
cancer.
Remedies Other Than the Knife.
"A few closing words us to remedies
other than the knife., .The X-rays have
been found to have a .pertain value, and
splendid work in this field has been d ne

radium snetlu)d,,.bt-cusu q( the , expense of
radium, Is not yet very practical. None of
the other remedies brought forward, from
th electric current to aiiolneses, have as yet
been found reliable.
'"Khls contest with cancer Is very fur
fnm being futile. Wc have seen the old
apathy and despair disappear. Hope has
ben stimulated anew, for great numbers of
persons are cured by means already at our
disposal; and by such means an increasing
proportion will be cured as the public and
my own profession come to realise what
has already been done. Bear In mind al
ways that there Is a time In the develop
ment of every cancer when that cancer Is
curuble, and seize the favorable moment,
which is the earliest possible moment. The
outlook for the future grows Increasingly
blighter, and though the goal is not yet In
sight the time Is near when a true panacea
for dancer will be found."
