The
Cruel Knife!

1t is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-

blood, and hence can not be cut out

Boerne, near San Antonio, Tex, was
settled in 1S45, by colony OF Germans.
the settlers were told they could live
as they wished, provided they were
good, industrious citizens, They &C.
lected from their number "a man and
his wife of mental as weii as physical
weight" as their king and queen.
whose edICts and commands they
agreed to obey to the letter. They were
much astonished several months later
to learn that this state Of things would
not do in this country, and the king
and queen were deposed. The king Is
dead, but the ex-Queen still lives. She
is worth 100000, and owns one-third
of the town, but takes in laundry work
and bends over her tub six days In the
week. Her word is still law with the

The public health act Of 1897 appllc-
able to Scotland contains provisions
in regard to meat inspection which are
more severe than the provisions Of the
public health act Of 1876 applicable to
England. The Scottish law not only
gives the local sanitary officer full con-
troll over slaughterhouses, but also en-
powers inspectors to enter premises
within the district Of the local author

hicle or any barrow, basket, bag, or
parcel, and examine any animal, alive
or dead, or article intended for human
food. II 1t appears to him % be unfit
for human food, he may take 1t away
to have 1t dealt with by justice. The
justice may condemn 1t and order II
to be destroyed, and impose penalty
on the person to whom the condemned
article belonged or In whose possession
or on whose premises II was found.
Tho department Of sanitary and mar
ket inspection in Edinburgh was con-
stItuted on Its present basis, under the
public health act Of 1897 In May, 1893
During the past year, not only have
the slaughterhouses been under careful
supervision, but inspectors have paid
more than 5000 visits to the butchers
and other shops, The quantity OF meat
seized or given up as unfit for human
food was 149, 1863 pounds. One Canad-
ian carcass was seized. Not pound OK

Meg drew back pace to survey me
critically, sat looking fXedly before
me into tho llttlo cracked toilet glass
and tried 10 get used to the new beau

scabby sheep wlllfully and after shear
ing time should be regarded as q mon
