ame Maud McCarthy, G.B.E. of

London England who headed the
British Nursing forces in France
during the World War, arrived re-
cently af Quebec on the Canadian Pa-
cific liner Empress of Scotland. This
distinguished lady who has gained
the title of “The Florence Night-
ingale of the WorldWar’, will

National Association of Nurses

iling of a memorial to the
nurses who served in the great War.

Dame McCarthy began her first

outstanding war services during the
South Africa War, 1899-1902. From
1903 to 1910 she was Matron of
Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military
Nursing Service and until 1914 was
Principal Matron of the Q.A:I.M.
N.S., War Office. In 1914 she was ir
pointed Matron-in-chief of the Q.A
M.N.S., British Armies in France and
in 1920 Matron-in-chief of the Terri-
torial Army Nursing Service.

In the above photograph, which
was taken on board the S:S. Empress

Mrs, C. F. Hayes Dies in Westminster

. Hayes, a well-known and
recent resident of Abbotsford passed
away in the Royal Columbian hospital
on Saturday morning last after prolong-
ed suffering from cancer.

Mr. and Mrs, Hayes moved from Ab-
botsford té New Westminster three
months ago. Previous to that time Mrs,
Hayes had been a patient in the M.S,A.
hospital, and soon after going to New
Westminster entered the hospital there
for treatment.

The funeral was held on Monday, in-
terment being made in the New West-
minster cemetery.

At the conclusion of public service,
the special service of the True Blue
Lodge was conducted by Rey. Mr.
Batzold.

Pallbearers, all friends of the family,
and True Blue members, included M.
McGillivray, J, McLean, J, Doutaz, W.
Roberts, C. Spring and J. Robinson.

Many floral tributes were sent from
the various lodges. Remaining are the
husband, two daughters Nettie and
Thelma, and one son Ceril. Other re-
latiyes reside in Eastern Canada.

The increased price set upon Sumas
reclaimed lands by the provincial gov-
ernment is said to be $300 per acre.
Exceptional yields from the govern-
ment’s experimental cloyer crops have
convinced Mr. Barrow that $200 is too
low a price for lands in the area.
Incidentally the raise in price is cal-
culated to enable private owners who
are dissatisfied with conditions, sell
out at a more favorable price.

It is reported that the P. Burns Co.
offered to purchase the entire area,
with a view to erection of a huge ab-
batoir and the ranging and fattening
of beef cattle in preparation for
market. As the only large area of
grazing land available adjacent to Van-
couver, the Sumas reclaimed “Gistrict
would doubtless meet the requirements
of such concerns, but the government
displays a consistence to its original
plan of dividing the area into small
farmsteads,

——

Dr. Blair Bell, of the Liverpool Re-
search Committee has actually effected
cures of cancer in patients too far ad-
vanced in the disease to have any
chance of recovery, according to ‘‘The
People’’ an English newspaper tender-
ed us by one of our readers with the
request that we mention the discovery.

Dr. Bell found that cancer cells are
more easily poisoned than the healthy
body cells. ‘‘Find then’’ said he ‘‘a
poison strong enough to kill the germ-
cell, yet weak enough to spare the rest
of the body cells, and you have advanc-
ed a big step on the road to the cure of
cancer’? i

In lead he found this poison—lead,
which is deadly to the human body, but
yet more deadly to the germ, and so to
the cancer celt

By skillful manipulation of the doses
he found the amount that would dam-
age the cancer cell badly and the body
cell but slightly.
