MAN WHO DESERVES Pity.

He Who In Com pe1led to Eat Restau-
rant Breakfasts to BE Consoled.
A plea for pity is entered by an east
ern journal on behalf of the unfortu-
nate man who through the summer
breakfast or wait until luncheon time
to break his fast. And the commisera-
ton Is solicited because someone has
complained that restaurant keepers do
not give the amount Of attention to
serving the days first meal that they
do to the two later ones. There are
no hard and fast figures at hand to
prove that this is so, but 1t is rather
general conclusion that left-overs
from the day before are used for the
first comers and that this is hardly
square dealing.
Then, besides the matter Of food be-
ing none too fresh, there Is complaint
that there is much Of setting to rights
In the restaurants during the hour one
wishes to take breakfast, which Gre
etes a confusion calculated to make
even an appetizing meal unenJoyable.
Sweeping. busting, filing Of salt, pep
per and vinegar feceptacles 80 on un-
der the patrons very nose, while the
walters display sang froid that tells
him, or appears to do SO, that he has
no business to eat in strange pla ces,
that II he has home he should be
In 1t and that If he hasn't place to
call home he is very poor specimen,
indeed, and not worthy of more con-
sideration than he is receiving.
With these complaints at hand, then,
It seems we shall all have to take it
for granted that there's foundation
Of fact for them and do what we can
to impress 1t upon restaurant keepers
that their first duty in summer is to
do their share toward making life
pleasant for the self-sacrincing man
who sends his family to the country
while he stays behind and earns the
money to pay their bills and his own.
An awakening to this duty swept
through the ranks Of puryeyors of
life's necessaries and pleasure years
ago and the results have been as sat
isfactory as substitutes, or, we might
say, compensations could well be. Let
the restaurant keepers join this band
of home missionaries and the deserted
husband may find that desertion isn't
all the bad things that some folks de-
clare 1t to be.

CANDY AND CANCER
An Indian Army Omcer's Theory ek
the Dread Disease.

An Indian Army OHcer's Theory ef
the Dread Disease.
In an article In the Indian Medical
Gazette, Captain d. r. Rost, /. M. g..
attributes the rise in cancer mortality
to an increased consumption Of sugar.
In the form Of sweetmeats and other
delicacies of modern confectionery.
and corresponding diminution in the
use of salt-preserved articles of diet
His theory is that malignant disease is
parasitic in origin, and Is due to the
invasion of the body by saccharomy-
cete, the growth of which is favored
by glucose. but inhibited by SUBJ
stances containing chlorine, and only
admissible when the amount of chic
rine In the body falls below normal.
Some of his experiments, which he re-
cords In support of this view, are rath-
er remarkable. He has cultivated sac
mors on sterile cane sugar, and has
also prepared what he describes as "a
kind Of tumor JAM" by preserving por-
tions Of tumors in the same medium.
Sections Of this liam" show "the tu-
NOR cell as usual, but the saccharo-
mycetes abounding in and between
them" He passed chlorine gas
through his cultures of saccharomy-
cetes, and found that it rapidly killed
the organisms, and it Is evidently the
chlorine that is the active agent"
According to Captain Rost, the guild
ing principle in the treatment Of can
Ger should be to diminish the amount
Of glucose in the body and increase
the amount of chlorine, thereby rem
dering the patients body an unfavor-
able culture medium for the specific
micro-organisms He has put this
theory into practice upon ten patients,
his treatment consisting first, of a
strict diabetic diet, and, secondly, Of
piling In sodium chloride into the
body, and preventing its excretion as
much as possible" The results are
said to have been most successful,
but. unfortunately, the patients them
selves do not appear to have been
unanimous as to the advantages of the
treatment they were receiving, since
four out Of their number ran away.
Experiments were also tried upon ami
mails, cancerous material and "saccha-
romycetes' obtained by culture from
cancers being used for incubation;
various LESSONS were produced, and in
some instances the influence of salt
diet upon the affected animals was
studied. In imitation of the human
patients. zone guinea pig and one cat
absconded," apparently before the
benefits Of sodium chloride had been
accorded to them.
The announcement that sweetmeats
predispose to cancer, IL it finds its
way into the cheaper sensa tional jour-
nalism. may prove alarming to sun
dry juvenile and feminine readers; but
IL it checks their appetite for confec-
tionery 1t will at least improve their
digestion; and, although the use Of So
dium chloride as an antidote would
engender a thirst which might be
slaked unwisely, there is little fear Of
so unpalatable remedy becoming
popular. Still, we think that Captain
Rost would have been wise in defer
ring the publication Of his theories
until he had established them on
somewhat broader scientific basis
