Surgeons Will
Discuss Cancer
At Open Meeting
Noted Rochester Physician to
Be Principal Speaker at Pub
lic Gathering During Two
Day Session of Doctors.
Cancer, and the. prevention of
death by this dread disease, will be
the chief subject of discussion at a
public meeting of the Nebraska di
vision of the American College of
Surgeons in Omaha the evening of
March 3.
The Nebraska division of the
American College of Surgeons will
meet in Omaha March 3 and 4, with
headquarters at the Hotel Fonte
nelle. More than 1,000 invitations
to surgeons throughout the state
have been issued, j
Dr. William Mayo of Rochester.
Minn., and Sir Berkeley Monyhan
of Leeds, England, will be the princi
pal speakers at the open meeting
March 3, which will be held in the
Auditorium or the Masonic temple.
Morning meetings of the surgeons
will be given over to clinics in the
Omaha hospitals, while the after
noon meetings will be occupied with
the reading and discussion of sci
entific papers.
At a recent meeting of the sur
geons in charge of the meeting it
was decided unanimously that the
general public is more interested in
the treatment of cancer than any
other medical or surgical subject.
. "This is due," says Dr. D. T.
Quigley, "to the fact that 100,000 per-
sons cue every year jii kic yuicu
States from cancer, and that 80 per
cent of these deaths are prevent
able." :
Dr. Quigley is in full chs.rge of
the arrangements for the March
meeting of the Nebraska division.

teenth street, yesterday.
Wickline has been opening oy

This pearl is at "cat's-eye," ac

and of purplish tint. It is about
the size of a small "crockie ' marble.

gem a choice find, declaring it will
bring a fancy price. Wickline says
he is undecided as to whether or
