ROOF OF WORLD'!
NEW YORK, Feb. 17, <7P)—On the ;

Tibet, where British medical rec- j
ords indicate cancer does not now j
exist, the Roerich Museum of New j ^
York is starting a unique biological ^
experiment. j
There is a mystery about this ^
Tibetan cancer-free district An-,;
dent books show that cancer once | u
flourished there, and that it was
fought with juices of plants and |
herbs.
These books never have been >
translated by moderns and the j
Roerich experiment will combine, fr
an expert translation with the lat- ! ol
est scientific methods of studying j
the plants to chock against the lost1
lore. i
In one indisputable respect these j v<
Tibetan plants are different from !!
anything else. They are giants.!
Visitors saw "forget-me-nots the.
size of pennies, royal blue poppies, t cr
rhododendrons as large as trees, fj
morses nearly the size of marsh
grasses. ’
There is one root given to child- ;
ren to improve their memories, j
That’s what the Tibetans say about
it. This may mean that memory j
works better under some stimulant J
in the root, or that there is a blood :
change.
The books Dr. Roarich has gath- j
ered describe in great detail a dis
ease not named but precisely like;
cancer There are pages of descrip
tions and other page on page of ad
vice how to treat the trouble with
various plant remedies.
These books are of great antiq
uity, hand-written, the heritage of
Lamas. Their translation is a big
undertaking.

ton Baker, former Secretary of
War, and Mrs. Baker arrived on
the liner Orizaba after a 17-day
trip to Mexico and Cuba. Baker

horse” Democratic candidate in
political circles

! UNDHUNTED BY LATEST
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
STRONG PI15IH
' ‘‘Whatever happens is perhaps
| for the best. Allah be praised!”
! Thus does sturdy, strong-hearted
; Peter Strong, veteran mining man
I of Indian, voice his philosophy of
| life.
! Bearing scars from numerous in
! juries, the most recent about two
; years ago when a premature ex
plosion blew out an eye and left
purple facial markings, the tough
old pioneer returned home Monday
after replenishing the larder fol
| lowing another miraculous escape
; from death.
; j Peacefully asleep and no doubt
' j dreaming of a big strike he would
soon make; perhaps of a $300,000
sale of his excellent gold claims
and of spending that sum on the
. gay and glittering white way of a
far-away metropolis, or maybe sur
rounded by a bevy of fair damsels,
! Pete awoke to find himself covered
j with a blanket of snow instead ol
• j his warm rabbit skin robe.
A snow slide had struck his cabin
at midnight, completely filled his
home with snow, raised it up ?
few feet and carried the whole
works 15 or 20 feet to a new loca
tion.
Though the bed was demolished,
as well as other furniture and the
lone door, Pete did not sustain even
a scratch. Practically unclothed,
the oldtimer realized though he
i had marvelously escaped from be
j ing buried alive, danger still hov
ered owing to the freezing temper
ature. Frantically he dug about
for his clothing but to no avail
But he did find a small piece of
canvas, so with that wrapped about,
he barefooted his way through the
heavy drifts of last Sunday three
quarters of a mile to his nearest
neighbors, a section crew.
Aside from two fingers being
nipped, the fine old gentleman if
none the worse from his latest epi
sode with Dame Nature. He wil
build anew; but this time he wil
give mounatin slopes ample clear
ance.
"It has set me back a year ir
my plans,” the oldtimer informec
The Gateway, "but I am thankfu
to be alive to carry on.”

The mildest cigarette is bound to be
the one that’s made of the mildest to
baccos. It’s harder to find the milder
varieties —but we pay the price and
get the choice. The world’s finest
Turkish—the world’s finest Domestic
—the purest, mildest and best tobacco
that grows—that’s what we buy for
Chesterfield.
We tie up millions of dollars age
ing these tobaccos right. Then we
blend and cross-blend them for extra
mildness and taste. Good — they’ve
got to be good!
Everything that money, science and
skill can do to make a milder cigarette
shows up with every puff. A cigarette
cant be made any milder or purer—
you can smoke as many as you like.
And you’ll like as many as you smoke.
