EXHAUSTIVE WORK
ON CANCER IS OUT
Figures Compiled on Deaths From
the Disease Show Many Inter
esting Facts.
UPSETS MANY SET OPINIONS
One of the most exhaustive works
on cancer ever produced has been
prepared by Frederick L. Hoffman,
statistician for the Prudential Life
Insurance company. Though it leads
nowhere, so far as pointing the way
to a cure for the disease, the facts
presented arc most interesting, up
getting though they do nearly all
long-established opinions or preju
dices regarding the disease.
According to investigation, there
are 500,000 deaths annually in the
civilised world from this disease, and
80,000 deaths in the United States.
hut right here the statisticians sug
gest that their figures may mean but
little after all, since the figures are
for only the 4 50,000,' KW people in civ
ilized countries, which comprise only
26 per cent of the world's total popu
lation. In this country the deaths from
cancer are about seventy-eight in
every 100,000 people. Yet in thi
particular there is a wide range. In
Seattle the ratio is 102 to the 100,000,
and in Savannah only 47. In places
where males predominate the disease
is less frequent, and among women
the married ones are peculiarly sub
ject to the complaint.
Figures Favor Printers,
Printers, pressmen and other per
sons in occupations making them
more subject than the majority to
tuberculosis are less apt to have can
cer. Miners are found to be compara
tively exempt. Men who work with
pitch and tar have the disease more
than others. Chimney sweeps are
high in the list, except where they
have long brooms.
The investigation upsets the theory
held by many that the apparent in
crease of cancer is due to the larger
number of people who attain to ma
ture years than formerly. It is shown
also that there is nothing in the the
ory of others that if many, who died
of smallpox, typhoid fever or other
diseases, had lived to mature years,
they would have been victims of this
disease.
Those attacked by cancer are
usually the most robust in health,
but this is true only of those in ma
ture years who have the disease.
Those of a younger age, who die of
the disease, are apt to be those who
have been sickly.
Liquor Increases Tendency.
It is found that the use of alco
hoJic liquors and tobacco increases
the tendency to the disease.
Men have the aftliction perhaps
most of all in the digestive organs,
and women are peculiarly subject to
cancer of the breast. Yet there seems
to be no reason for the fact that in
Japan there are only one-tenth as
many cases of cancer of the breast in
proportion as there are in England.
Some races arc comparatively ex
empt from the disease, though since
the abolition of slavery cancer, as
well as tuberculosis, has increased
among negroes. Among Indians the
proportion is only twenty-nine to the
100,000.
The average age of men dying from
this disease is about sixty. The av
erage age of women victims is about
fifty-eight.
Disease Not Communicable.
There is no evidence whatever that
the disease is communicable in any
way. Nor is there any evidence that
the disease is inherited. The figures
under this head show that heredity
plays an even smaller part in the dis
ease than in the case of tuberculosis.
v Those living in cold climates are
more subject to cancer than those
living near the equator, and in Mex
ico those living in the table lands are
more, ottcn victims than those resid
ing in the lowlands.
Omaha ranks thirteenth among the
large cities of the country, with a
ratio of 85. 5, a figure somewhat above
the average. Next to Seattle the six
cities having the highest ratio are
Boston, Providence, Los Angeles,
Cincinnati, Hartford and New Haven.
Chicago ranks twenty-third and Min
neapolis thirty-third. New York is
next below Chicago.
Vegetarians are comparatively ex
empt from the disease, and there are
only a few cancers of the digestive
organs among the non-meat eating
population.
Living Near Water,
One authority insists that persons
living near water are more subject to
the disrate than those living inland.
The assurance is given that can
cer is no more likely to, be caused by
worry than smallpox or scarlet fever.
The disease is rare among Jews
living according to the ritual.

Apple Expert Tells
How to Spray Trees
To Get Sound Fruit
Some timely pointers on apple
growing are given in a letter just
written to the fruit marketing and de
velopment committee of the Commer
cial club by J. J. Smith, said to be
an authority on the subject. Follow
ing is his letter;
"In reply to a request from your
committee to write an article on
growing apples, permit me to first
send you a start article on spraying.
As the apple trees ate now in full
bloom, they will soon be ready for the
Codling moth spray. To grow sound
fruit should interest every person who
has one tree or many. Let us not
have a repetition of last year's apple
market if we can avoid it.
"If a person has just a few trees in
the yard, go to the seed man'and get
a small hand sprayer, which will an
swer, one holding three to five gal
lons. If the orchard is a commercial
one secure either barrel sprayer, hold
ing fifty gallons or a power outfit.
At any rate use eight to ten-foot rods
with a nozle that will cast a dense
spray. For the yard trees the operator
may stand on a stepladder to reach
the top of the trees.
"While the commercial orchardist
may spray from three to five times
during the season, the person with a
few trees may secure 8li per cent to
85 per cent sound fruit in an average
season with a good, thorough codling
moth spray, which is applied just
after the petals fall and before the
calyx closes. 1 he proportions are as
follows: One and a half gallons Rex
lime and sulphur solution to fifty gal
lons of water. To this add one and
one-quarter pounds dry arsenate of
lead or two and a half pounds paste
form. The latter requires to be dis
solved and strained, that there shall
bo no lumps to clog the nozzles. Add
the lead the last thing before you be
gin. If the solution stands over night,
alter being mixed it will most likely
burn the foliage, therefore mix no
more at one time than you can use.
This solution is easy to apply after
you know how. Dress as a man would
if he were preparing to clean the cel
lar or do an odd job of painting
overalls, juniper, obi hat, gloves, gog
gles and go to it. Put from two to
four gallons to the tree, cover every
calyx."

MERRITTS PROUD OF STORE
Beautiful New I-Shaped Store Said
to Be Finest in Western
Country.
EVEHYTHING OF LATEST TI2Z
One of the prettiest stores you've
ever seen is the new Merritt drug,
store, occupying the room farthest
south in the new Rose building. Six
teenth and Farnam streets, now open
for business and with its formal open
ing to come some tl.ne in June.
It is owned by the Mcrriit brothers,
born in Omaha and sons of John
Merritt, Omaha pioneer.
Solid mahogany fixtures, made by
the Alfred Bloom company, Omaha,
plate glass, mirrors galore, mosaic
marble floor, splendid indirect light
electric fixtures, magnificent soda
fountain, ail combine to give a pic
ture of beauty and up-to-dateness.
The store is in an "L" shape, the
lower part of- the "L" being a cozy
nook at the back filled with tables and
chairs for the comioriable imbibing
of cooling drinks.
All around the room runs a bal
cony, also mahogany with a brass
railing. The mahogany showcases
run clear to the ceiling. They are fit
ted with doors that slide easily on
ball bearings. There are plate glass
shelves and everything that is of the
latest, the most improved t.vpe,
Keep Cigars :'ight.
The cipar case :s provided with
beveled edge doors so as to make
them as nearly air-tight as possible.
The cigar humidors have plate giass
fronts and arc lined with rubber,
keeping cigars in top-notch condi
tion. The soda fountain is the largest
onyx soda fountain in Omaha and the
very latest Upe. There is not a
splinter of wood in it or its equip
ment, thus making for greatest sani
tary perfection. All is marble, Ger
man silver, copper, zinc. Two splen
did ornamental lamps help to make
the front beautiful. In an alcove be
hind is a steam table for preparing
hot drinks for winter comfort.
A feature of the store is the corri
dor in the back leading to the alley.
All goods and supplies will he brought
in through this and nothing through
the front of the store.
In the basement is a water filter.
Every drop of water used in the store
will be filtered.
An electric toaster and an electric
mixer are two unusual appurtenances
of the soda fountain.
The tables arc "gold" with plate
glass tops, bent wood, imported from
Austria, i
Two big 1916 model cash registers
are finished in mahogany to match
the furniture of the store.
The new store will make a spe
cialty of prescriptions and for the
preparation of these a room is located
on the rear balcony where the phar
macists will do their careful work
away from the excitement of busi
ness. The new store is tTie second owned
by the Mcrritts. Their other one is
at Twentieth and Farnam street. They
opened that two years ago and con
ducted it with such success that they
have doubled its size since then.
The new store will be under the di
rect management of A. E. Merritt
and Joseph Merritt, while Jess Mer
ritt will run the other store at Twen
tieth and Farnam streets.

business in Omaha since 1893, His
