or. Robert A bee, senior surgeon of
&t. uukes hospital. New iork city,
sheds new light on the causes of can
cel, and particularly cancer of the
mouth. He presents a calm but scath
ing arraignment of tobacco, when it
is smoked or chewed in excessive quan
tities. Of one hundred victims ot
mouth cancer studied, only ten were
women. Of the ninety men, all but one
were inveterate smokers. Most of
tnem smoked cigars, to the number of
tnree to twenty a day. Five smokeu
only cigarettes. One consumed fifty
a day. Many used a pipe, which often
caused cancer to begin where the end
of the pipe steam allowed the hot
smoke to come upon the tongue. Thir
teen had cancer inside the cheek and
ail of these chewed. In every case, the
cancer started where the tobacco quiu
was held in the cheek, or on the edge
oj, me palate or tongue near by.
Chronic Irritation, Or. Abbe says
may be set down as a fundamental
cause. The use of tobacco may be the
original cause of the irritation, as
wnen hot smoke from a pipe continu
ally burns the tongue, or the tobacco
may aggravate the irritation when it
nas once appeared.
Often a broken tooth or a sharp
tooth euge causes the original inflam
mation that leads to the cancerous
growth. About one-tenth of the pat
ients plainly owed this affliction either
to a rough tooth or to hot burning
drinks, or both. The other nine-tenths
of the cases are chargeable to tobacco.
After such a warning it should take
but little argument to Induce any man
who smokes excessively to cut down
uis tobacco ration, and if he la troubled
w'iih a sore mouth, to cut it out alto
gether. Usually the only deterrent
from excessive smoking is bad nerves.
Hut cancer is worse than nerves.
Eat the Pineapple.
The partaking of a slice of pineapple
ater a meal is quite in accordance
with physiological Indications, since
l'resh pineapple Juice contains a re
markably active digestive principle
similar to pepsin. This principle has
been termed "bromelin,'' und so pow
erful is its action upon protelds that
it will digest us much us 1,000 times
Us weight within a few hours. Us
uigestive activities varies in accord
ance with the kind of proteid to which
it is subjected. When a slice of fresh
pineapple is placed upon a raw beef
steak the surface of the steak becomes
gradually gelatinous, owing to the di
gestive action of the enzyme of the
juice.
Of course, digestive agents exist
also in other fruits, but when it is
considered that an average sized pine
apple will yield nearly two pints of
Juice it will be seen that the digestive
action of the whole fruit must be
enormous. The activity of this pecu
liar digestive agent is destroyed in the
cooked pineapple, but unless the pine
apple is preserved by heat there is
no reason why the tinned fruit should
not retain the digestive power.
Unlike pepsin, the digestive princi
ple of the pineapple will operate in
an acid, neutral, or even alkaline me
dium, according to the kind of proteid
to which it is presented. It may there
fore be assumed that the pineapple
enzyme would not only aid the work
and digestion in the stomach, but
would continue that action in the in
testinal tract. Pineapple, it may be
added, contains much indigestible
matter of the nature of woody fibre,
Lut It is quite possible that the de
cidedly digestive properties of the Juice
compensate for this fact.
AN8WERS TO QUERIE8.
Cure or Wrinkles.
Is there any reason why a woman
thirty years old should have wrinkles.
What is the cause and treatment?
EUGENE.
Yes. Lack of deposits of fat between
the layers of the muscles due to im
proper oxidation of carbohydrates and
a condition of fat starvation of the
tissues. This is caused by the inter-,
ference in the digestion and assimila
tion of the food. The selected power
of the blood has been interfered with
and the treatment called for is one
'or elimination, purifying the body and
blood, internal bathing, plenty of pure
water, vegetables and fruit diet and
avoidance of fried meats and rich pas
tries. Feeding the skin Is important
First bath the skin with hot water
and following with a cold rinse and
friction rub with a coarse towel. Then
rub in some good skin food thoroughly
making sure to be careful to rub off
all the superfluous skin food with a
ciean dry towel.

GOLD IN SEA WATER.
(Mining and Scientific Press.)
Gold in sea water was the basis of a
swindling company, at North L>ubec, in
Maine, that collapsed in 1898. Gold
jxists in the ocean at the rate of about
.wo cents per ton of water; in San
.Tancisco bay the quantity is equal
*o four cents per ton, and in Salt Lake
.ather more than in the ocean. The
.nost attractive method of extracting
nis gold w'ould seem to be the treat
ment of the bittern or residual water
,rum the manufacture of common
oult; this is a solution concentrated in
.ne proportion of 100:1 so that one
.on of bittern ought to contain about
r2 in gold. Hence, this brine contains
.nore gold than than the ore of the
A'asp No. 2 or the Alaska Treadwell.
A'ho will be the first to treat it com
mercially? Another Rev. Jernegan?
Gold output of the Transvaal for the
ilrst half of 1915 totaled 4,408,048
junces. At the current rate of pro
duction the year will yield about $10,
JOO.OOO more than in 1914.
PARIS JEWELERS AT FRONT.
(Scribner’s Magazine.)
Our next visit was to a sod-thatched
lut, "At the Sign of the Ambulant Art
sans," where two or three soldiers
were modeling and chiselling all kinds
it trinkets from the aluminum of ene
my shels.
One of the ambulant artisans was
just finishing a ring with beautifully
modelled fauns’ heads, another offered
me a "Pickelhaube" small enough for
mustard seed's wear, but complete in
every detail, and Inlaid with the bronze
■agle from an imperial pfennig. There
are many such ringsmlths among the
privates at the front, and the severe,
somewhat archaic design of their rings
s a proof of the sureness of French
taste; but the two we visited happened
to be Paris Jewelers, for whom ‘‘arti
san’’ was really too modest a pseu
donym.
Officers and men were evidently
proud of their work, and as they stood
hammering away in their cramped
smithy, a red gleam lighting up the
intentness of their faces, they seemed
to be beating out the cheerful rhythm
of "I, too, will something make, and
joy in the making."
