the entire carcass is TO be condemned.

The most amazing stupidity conceiv.
able of any people with forcheads Ii
that they should allow their supply
Of food to pass into the hands Of one
speculative interest, says Charles Ed.

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 hos
ever submitted to such monstrous
condition IL our own.

This opens a neld that demands tn
immediate attention Of the govern
ment. Cancer IL the most terrible y
all diseases. After II has reached +,
certain stage Of development It ID at
solutely incurable. Its progress {
}. that stage may be without the pa
tient's knowledge or suspicion. II

J even be checked. It Stays its victim
with the most horrible torture.
, In this country the recent increas
!, Of this most. terrible Of human al
J, llctions has been something to alarI
I us all. 1t was once rare; It no,
J. threatens to become common. In th
