RELATES SCIENCE TO LAYMEN
Dr. Wells Spoke on Vitamines and Nutrition
"It is my purpose to give the average layman who knows little of technical science some indication of how scientific work does things in practical life," said Dr. H. Gideon Wells of the University of Chicago in his Sigma Xl lecture delivered in Fraser Chapel on Monday afternoon, December 5. "I have chosen the subject of vitamins and nutrition because my work as food director or founder of Food For You was the essential thing gave me a supreme opportunity to see how theories concerning these subjects worked out in actual practice."
"The existence of the vitamin that much abused, exaggerated food constituent, whose vital importance has been made a joke, was recognized one hundred years ago when it was known that men going on sea voyages developed the loathsome disease of scurfy if they were not fed limes or fresh vegetables to vary their diet, and that people living exclusively on polished rice developed the disease known as beryllium which is fatal." The same doctor said. "These diseases can be avoided by dietary measures."
Doctor Wells illustrated the laboratory procedure and results with elides and then gave a short resume of himself and conditions as he had found them.

chance to become acquainted with
one another, and acquainted with the

WELLS SAVS CANCER IS NOT CONTAGIOUS
Scientist Told Audience There Was No Cure for Dreaded
Disease
Dr. Gleiden Wells' address last night on "The Present Status of the Cancer Problem," was directed primarily to the members of Sigma XI, while at the same time he delivered a speech that would be possible intelligible to the laymen.
"Cancer is a disease which consists simply of the growth of cells which make up the body," said Doctor Wells. It is nothing more or less than growth differing only that it continues indefinitely.
"Cancer is in no sense contagious, and we have never found the slightest evidence that it is," he said. "With regard to heredity we can only say from our results of animal experimentation that cancer obeys the Mendelian principles, and that it tends to be recessive.
"Cancer is increasing in frequency and this is indeed a favorable sign contrary to alarmsms who call it an attack. Cancer is a disease of adolescence and successful cancers are successfully combated the more liable people become to cancer.
"In regard to the cure of cancer I regret to say that I can give you nothing joyons. We need a way to discover cancer when it starts for we cannot know it until we are cancer is not painful until it is hopeless, and people do not know they have it until it reaches such advanced stages. We can only hope for diagnostic improvements, improvements in treatment or recovery if a new principle of the disease."
"Not until we can discover the disease in animals we can control our material. We were blocked in our study of cancer until 1900, when we discovered that cancers can be transmitted to another. This discovery stimulated an enormous amount of cancer research, which has continued." Wells said.
Political Science Debate.
At the meeting of the Political Science Club last night, the question of "Irish Independence" was debated. Mooakin and Wunsch debated the affirmative side of the question and the negative side. This equation will be discussed by the members of the Club at the next meeting.
K. U. Diamond Hunter Writes Interesting Letters From Africa
I find it hard work to sleep "n" night, as I go to bed at eight-thirty o'clock and get up at five-thirty o'clock. Sometimes I wake up and bear the hippos roaring and the sentry snooring and know that everything is all night. One night I woke up and saw that it could not be nearing daylight and yet I couldn't hear old Lataunga, the sentry snooring. I thought something must be wrong and then the silence was shattered by the ear of his old Albini. I hopped out of bed to investigate and learned that a little girl was trying to take the old boy got him too; hit him with three nails and a broken bracelet.
What I don't know about agronomy,
I'll probably learn by the time
I'm through with this plantation.
You plant cassava in hills or fur-
tures, but you can grow it too.
How many times can you pull a tuna
to see how big it is and put it
back without withering it? What's
good to keep the hippopotamus out of
one's banana patch? Should pea
insects be caught in the light or lark
of the moon?
(Letters Continued)
Every day or so I go down to the garden and pull up it on; tomatoes, cabbages and cucumbers, planted as thick as lettuce, and the next trip I find them all growing again, or ethers in their place. I get all messed up with twigs, strings, chickens claws ashes, colored clay, etc., that the gardener has put around to counteract my influence and to kid me over that garden and the way things grow in this country, he's going to win out too.
I don't know what I'll do down here when winter comes. It's really chilly now; my o'clock and I have on a coat. I sleep under two blankets every night. This is the poorest of the tropies that I ever saw.
I had a tomato today, for dinner. I crew on a tree which I transplanted to the garder but he ducked with a stick that a chicken's bill and three balls of corn in it, so we don't know yet, who's who, Naturally, we both claim the credit.
It has been six months now since I've seen anybody, but I'm not lonely some yet. This is a great country
