making the detection of all foci inside
the muscle very difficult; therefore,
the entire carcass Is to be condemned.
"'1n cases where the actinOmycOtic

remains Of the carcass used.

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

son. You can understand how a care.
less community might tolerate mo.
nopoly Of some things, how 1t 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 are
lamps; but that 1t should tolerate a
monopoly Of the primal necessity of
food Is beyond comprehension and
without precedent. Even naked say
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that, and the only nation that has
ever submitted to such monstrous
condition Ii our own.
From a 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
GILL that prey upon mankind arc com
mon among the animals he eats fol
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities Of It through
the human population. 1t II SO com
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but stcr
ilized milk. What is "hog cholera
among swine Ia merely typhoid feveI
In men. Trlchlnca In hogs poison'
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than all these, and more
deadly, is another fact that IL seldom
commented upon because 1t Is too ap
palling to dwell much upon. What Il
called "lumpy jaw" In cattle is simply
cancer. The germs Of cancer ar,
communicable. Many cattle have
"lumpy jaw" Any animal witt
"lumpy jaw" Is unfit for huma,
food.
This opens field that demands tn
immediate attention Of the govern
ment. Cancer Is the most terrible O
all diseases. After 1t has reached I
certain stage Of development II is ab
solutely incurable. Its progress h
that stagc may be without the pa
tents knowledge or suspicion. It
advance beyond that stage canno
, even be checked. 1t slays its vlctlm
with tho most horrible torture.
; In this country the recent increas
Of this most terrible Of human al
aictions has been something to alarm
us all. It was once rare; 1t nov
threatens to become common. In tn
Cincinnati hospital, In the year 1870
u, the number of cancerous patient
. was one In 5S7. In 1904 the numbe
was one in 273. In 1870. when tn
! total population Of the city was 2l6
$50, the number Of cancer cases re
ported Mt all the institutions was AZ
! In 1900, with total population o
325,OO2, the number of cancer case
reported at all the institutions wa
lOS, and In 1908, with about the sam
population, the number was ?87.

tOnishing increase.
