A Writer Holds This Awful Organization
Responsible for the Spread
of Cancer
And Also Says that 1t Is Guilty of
Spreading tuberculosis and
Other Diseases.

The most amazing stupidity conceiv-
able of any people with foreheads is
that they should allow their supply
Of food to pass into the hands of one
speculative interest. says Charles Ed
ward Russell in a powerful article
written by him In the Appeal to Rea-
son. You can understand how care.
less community might tolerate Il mo-
nopoly of some things. how ii might
endure to have its transportation, for
instance. or its electric light, control
led by one ownership, for men can
live without sleeping cars or arc
lamps: but that 1t should tolerate a
monopoly of the primal necessity of
food is beyond comprehension and
without precedent. Even naked saw.
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that. and the only nation that has
ever submitted to such monstrous
condition Is Our own.
From Il thousand illustrations of the
injuries we all suffer from this idiotic
arrangement let us cite one.
There Is no way of communicating
disease to the human body surer than
through infected meat tissue. Some
OF the worst and most destructive ba.
cilli that prey upon mankind are com.
mon among the animals he eats for
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities of It through,
the human population. 1t Is so CON-
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but ster.
illzed milk. What Is hog cholera
among swine Is merely typhoid fever
in men. Trichinea In hogs polsons
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than all these. and more
deadly, is another fact that Is seldom
commented upon because II Is too ap'
palllne TO dwell much upon. What Is
called "lumpy Jaw" in cattle Is simply
cancer. The germs of cancer are
communicable. Many cattle have
"lumpy Jaw" Any animal with
'lumpy jaw Is UNIT for human
food.
This opens n field that demands the
immediate attention OF the govern
ment. Cancer Is the most terrible OF
all diseases. After It has reached q
certain stage OF development II Is ab
solutely incurable. Its progress Il
that stage may be without the pa
tents knowledge or suspicion. 1T
advance beyond that stage canno
even be checked. 1t slays It's victims
with the most horrible torture.
In this country the recent increas'
OF this most terrible Of human NJ
fIctions has been something to alarm
us all. 1t was once rare; It nov
. threatens TO become common. In tn

was one in 5S7. In 1904 the numbe
