The most amazing stupidity conceiv.

led by one ownership, for men can
live without sleeping cars or are
lamps; but that 1t 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 a 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 ana most destructive ba.
GILL that prey upon mankind are com.
mon among tho animals hc cats for
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities Of It through
the human population. It Is SO com.
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but ster.
ilized milk. What Is "hog cholera"
among swine Is merely typhoid fever
In men. Trlchlnca In hogs poisons
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 It Is too ap-
palllng 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 IL the most terrible of
all diseases. After It hns reached a
certain stage of development 1t is ab.
solutcly incurable. Its progress to
that stage may be without the pa.
tents knowledge or suspicion. Its
advance beyond that stage cannot
, even be checked. 1t slays its victims
with the most horriblc torture.
In this country the recent increase
Of this most terrible of human af.
Alctlons has been something to alarm
us all. 1t was once rare; It now
threatens to become common. In the
