To Mr. and Mrs. Marmozette Monk, orig inally of Brazil, a little eight-ounce child has come. There is greta joy in the Monk household. American-born Marmozette children are rare and the Eastlake park parents have good rea son to be proud and joyful. Hidden in its mother's long hair, warm and cozy, the new one is also proud and Joyful and glad that it is in California. Winter has held no terrors for this family. It is usually the fate of mon keys when they come to the United States to spend their days in cold ho tels In the east or breezy little boxes in the parks of Chicago or Milwaukee, or some place else where snow is inches deep. These little guests at Eastlake have slept out of doors all winter. Rosy monkey complexions are theirs and the usual California smile is on their monkey faces.

EASTERN LUMBERMEN GET IN LINE WITH COAST MEN Will Follow Example of Western Deal, ers in Usuing Odd Lengths of Lumber SEATTLE, Feb. 22.—Eastern retail lumbermen will use odd lengths of lum ber and are willing to do their part to help along the movement which they, like the Pacific coast manufacturers, believe is in the interest of conserva tion, according to Victor H. Beckman, secretary of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' association, who re turned yesterday from a six weeks' trip through the middle west, where he went' to represent the coast manufac turers and urge the adoption of odd lengths in the consuming markets. Mr. Beckman addressed 4000 retailers scattered from Minneapolis to New Or leans, and from Lincoln, Neb., to Cin cinnati, O. He declares the resolutions rejecting odd lengths, passed at several of the conventions he attended, do not in any measure voice the real feelings of the average retailer. He says they were, in most cases, put through by in terests not particularly friendly .toward the Pacific coast lumbermen. CANCER There is a time in cases of cancer when the disease can be removed without the knife. There will also come a time in all untreated cases when the disease has advanced beyond hope of cure by any known treatment. DEATH, slow, painful and certain, will surely follow Delay In having cancer treated Is virtually suicide. ACT AT ONCE. Statistics show that one man In eleven, and one woman In eight over 35 will die of cancer. Thousands have cancer and delay until too late. FEE —Any akin cancer next ten days. Bring ad.
