Because food that stays too long in
the Bowels decays there, just as if it
stayed too long in the open air.
Well, when food decays in the Bowels,
through delayed and overdue action, what
happens?
The millions of little Suction Pumps
that line the Bowels and Intestines then draw
Poison from the decayed Food, instead of
the Nourishment they were intended to
draw.
This Poison gets into the blood and. in
time, spreads all over the body, unless the
Cause of Constipation is promptly removed.

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.

written by him in the Appeal to Rea.
son. You can understand how a 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 1t should tolerate a
monopoly Of the primal necessity Of
food is beyond comprehension and
without precedent. Even naked sav.
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 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 1t through
the human population. 1t Is 50 com.
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. Trlchlnea In hogs polsOns
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than ali these, and more
deadly, is another fact that IL seldom
commented upon because 1t IL too ap.
palling to dwell much upon. What II
called "iumpy jaw" In cattle Il simply
cancer. The germs Of cancer are
communicable. Many cattle have
"lumpy Jaw" Any animal with
"lumpy jaw" Is unfit for human
food.
This opens field TINT demands the
immediate attention Of the govern.
ment. Cancer is the most terrible Of
all diseases. After It has reached a
certain stage Of development It Is ab.
sOlutely incurable. Its progress to
that stage may be without the pa.
tents knowledge or suspicion. Its
advance beyond that stage cannot
even be checked. It slays its victims
with the most horrible torture.
In this country the recent increase
Of this most terrible Of human AZ.
fllctions has been something to alarm
us all. 1t was once rare; 1t now
threatens to become common. In the
Cincinnati hospital, In the year 1870.
II, the number Of cancerous patients
was one In b87. In 1904 the number
was ono In 273. In 1870, when the
total population of the city was 2l0..
$50. the number Of cancer cases re.
ported at all the institutions was q;
In 1900, with q total population of
325, 5,002, the number Of cancer cases
reported at all the institutions was
1903, and In 1908. with about the same
population, the number was 287. I
append the table that shows this 40.
tonishing increase.

 Individual fortunes, M d'Avenel says. were accumulated in the middle ages not by force of the law but by the law of force; by the shifting of existing wealth, not by the accumulation of new riches. There was great inequality of wealth by reason of privilege. Modern laws and political systems have changed the pro cesses of accumulation, but not prevented the inequality resulting from changed conditions of commerce and industry. In making the poorest class today twice as well off in regard to earnings as their grandfathers were, time with all It's changes has given to the richest class in France the opportunity by their factories and banks to become four or six times as rich as the richest functlonares of the old monarchy. And yet Rrance is poor in milloinaires and French mill lionaires poor in millions compared with our American princes of trade and prop erty.
