causes OF DISEASE.
Theories as to Origin of sickness Arc
Numerous Enough to Give
Everybody q Choice.

The professional vegetarians have
been stepping high recently because a
prominent London physician has ad-
vancad the opinion that the increase in
the number of cancer cases Is due to the
Increased consumption of meat. There
is widespread belief that less meat is
eaten per capita than at any previous
time in the history of civilization; that
Englishmen of a century and more ago
depended chiefly on a meat diet and
knew less of vegetables than they do
now. Long ago they were noted as
beef eaters" and to this was charged
their plethoric condition and their
readiness to fight. If meat be cause
Of cancer, the disease should have been
more common a century ago than it Is
now. Still, the London doctor who
made the suggestion stands high In his
profession and his opinion has natural
ly added converts to vegetarianism.
An exasperated meat eater under
takes to balance the account by an
nouncing that the sole cause of the
early decay of the teeth of modren
man is the use Of roller made -four. He
takes it for granted that the teeth are
lost at an earlier age now than they
were long ago. 1t may be so, but there
is no positive evidence that toothache
is a recent aff1iction. Another carnivor-
Gus observer goes further and con.
dennis all white -four, whether ground
by roller mills or by the old-fashioned
stones. He expresses the firm convic.
ton that appendicitis has its sole cause
in the use of the white -four. In proof
Of this he instances the fact that he has
confined himself to health foods for
several years and has escaped all trou-
BILE of the appendix. Now it requires a
certain richness Of the blood to get up
a violent Inflammation, and 1t may be
that a man who limits his MURINE nj
to the tasteless health products lacks
the power to develop an appendicitis.
AS a choice between a steady diet of
husk bread and riotous living with an
inflamed sac as a result, good many
people would prefer the latter.
When man starts out to find a soli-
tary cause of physical Ills he can usual
ly succeed. He can persuade himself
that the use of tobacco, the wearing OF
high heels. the parting Of the hair in
the middle OF any other habit Is the
common origin of various maladies. a
reputable scientist declared that sun
spots produced potato rot in Ireland,
and another has charged n carnival OF
homicide to the relative positions OF
the planets. Since men Of science who
are supposed to be careful about the
evidence to support their opinions do
not hesitate to ascribe to some pecu-
liar source the ills of life, the amateur
observer may as we'll find pleasure in
forswearing meat or white -four as a
means to health.

TIE TURTLE SUPPLY.
aGuan Government Causes Big
Falling on.

"We have a new Venezuelan question
on our hands, SO far as the fish trade
is concerned" said a Fulton Market
dealer, land one that promises to seri.
ously affect the pockets, If not the APP
petites, of New Workers who like
green turtle soup, reports the New
York Times. The Mosquito coast, off
Central America, is the great turtle
fishing ground Of the world, relatively
the same as Newfoundland bears to
codfshing The trade is almos entire
ly in the hands of the Cayman fisher
men. Fast little boats run from the
turtle-fshing grounds to Kingston,
Jamaica, and other ports close to It,
whence tho turtles are shipped to New
York and to all parts Of the world.
Dealers here have noticed lately
that the turtle shipments have been
falling off, and were at loss to ac.
count for It, Now we learn that the
Nicaraguan government, which con-
trolls the Mosquito fishing grounds,
has imposed tax on turtle fishing
that amounts almost to prohibition
The tax has been in force more than
O month, but there seems to have been
some difficulty in collecting 1t. The
Caymgn fishermen resent interference
with an industry they have followed
without hindrance for more than 100
years. Now we hear that Nicaragua
threatens to send gunboat to the
turtlefshing grounds to enforce the
tax. This news comes to us from sail
ors on West Indian steamboats, and in
letters from merchants in Kingston
interested in the turtle trade.
IAN average-sized turtle Ia worth
from $50 to $50 in the New York mar
ket. The soup is retailed at an aver
age price Of five dollars a quart. I'm
der the new tax, il 1t Is enforced, we
may reasonably expect that this price
will be doubled Tie Kingston mer-
chants claim that their trade Is al-
ready sufficiently Handicapped by the
great mortality in the turtles taken
for export trade, Sometimes out of a
cargo OF 200 turtles less than 100 will
survive the long voyage.
1--WE have not heard yet the details
Of the new tax, but 1t is something like
two dollars ton on every fishing boat
over ten tons, with n minimum of ten
dollars Then there Is q tax on each
man In the crew. This payment en-
titles a fisherman TO remain on the
grounds for only two weeks, when the
license must be renewed. Importers
in Kingston. who supply the New York
and London markets, are endeavoring
to induce Venezuela to abolish, or at
least TO modify, the tax"
