Responsible for the Spread
Of Cancer
And Also Says that 1t Is Guilty of
Spreading tuberculosis and
Other Diseases.

The most amazing stupidity concciv.
able Of any people with forcheads 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 mo.
nopoly of some things, how It 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 II should tolerate n
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 thousand illustrations Of the
injuries we all suffer from this idiotic
arrangement lot 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'
GILL that prey upon mankind are com
mon among the animals he eats for
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities Of 1t through
the human population. II Is so COM
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but ster'
illzed milk. What IL hog cholera
among swine is merely typhoid fever
In men. Trichinca In hogs polsons
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than all these, ana more
deadly, Is another fact that Is seldom
commented upon because 1t Is too ap

called "lumpy jaw" In cattle Is simply
cancer. The germs Of cancer are
communicable. Many cattle have

This opens field that demands thu
immediate attention Of the govern
ment. Cancer Is tho most terrible o.
all diseases. After It has reached {
certain stage of development 1t Is ab
solutcly incurablc. 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 its victims
with tho most horrible torture.

of this most terrible Of human af

us all. 1t was once rare; 1t nov
