In the United States, according to
competent authority, there is a vast
army Of 100, 900 victims OF cancer. The
army is increasing all the time, not
only in size, but out Of proportion to
the natural increase Of population.
DR.. 6. BettOn Massey of Philadelphia,
has gathered mass Of statistics, and
published an article based on them,
showing that in seven Of the largest
cities IN the cOGntry-eXcludlC Chi
cago, whose records, presumably, are
too recent to be OF vdlue-wilh a COM
bined population of S,297, 464 in 1870,
the ratio Of deaths from cancer in that
year was 35 4 to 100000 living persons.
Twenty five years later, 10 1895, 10
these cities, which then had a con-
olned population # 1905 23j, the
ratio Of deaths from cancer was 66 I
to 100000 population, the ratio having
nearly doubled in a quarter of cen.
tuTy. II this rate Of increase is main
taiDed for the next ten years, DR..
Massey finds that i0 1910 there will b.
in each city an average OF 50 deaths
from cancer to 100000 population.
The greatest Increase in any Of the
large titles Of America is shown by
San Francisco. Here the ratio leaped
from l6.5 cases in 100000 population
in 1866 to 1896 in 1898. 1t is now
claimed that the cancer is the penalty
OF over-indulgence; that the alarming
increase is due to the foDdess for
superior food of the age.
"The Negro in Business" social

total capital invested by the Amerl-
Can negro in business is sS,7S4,6S7,
which, considering the poverty and
