CANCER HELD DUE TO
iMeAT BY EXPERT ADAMs

Chtcai.o, sept. 25.-rhat meat eat
ing is tAe prime cause of cancer, and
mat the increase in cancer is largely
due to the increase in the consumption
Of animal foods are the principal fea-
lures ia the report of two years ex-
haustiye research by Or. q. Cuok
Adams of London. formerly of Aus
tralia, just made public here through
the department of health. Or. Adams
says he has proved conclusiVely that
dict plays Il most important factor in
the Increase of the disease and in It's
death rate.
The increase in cancer in Chicago
from 1865 to 1905 vas 232 per cent; in
1866 one in each l0A deaths WAS due TO
cancer and I'm 1905, 1t had increased
to one death in every twenty-three.
The results show lhe increase is due
to the foreign born inhabitants as the
Chicago born show the lowest death
rate In the world. Dr. Adams says:
The cause of the greatly increased
death rate among n foreign born cane
not be charged to climatic conditions.
FOR l have found the Illinois born have
about the lowest death rate from cam
Ger OF amy people In the world. for
many years the average being one
death from cancer in every 200 deaths
among these people. and but enc cam
Ger death in seNcnty-two among the
80 " a a VIVA y ~ W
age.
1T was found the Italians made their
staple diet OF macaroni and spaghetti
Ntheir national dish), that the Chinese
adhered to their national diet Of rice,
while the nations showing highe. laor-
taltty consumed large quantities of
canned, preserved, dried and picked
t~Deats, ~sausages. etc, often eaten IN
cooked.
while these preserved meat foods
are eaten to u certain extent in their
own countries, the higher wages of
Americans permit Indulgence in them
to Il greater extent, while the greater
cost of fresh meat is an added induce
.nient to the consumption of these az
ticles.
at was found also that the bulk of
the fresh meat prepared at the plant
of q slaughtering company, where stock
condemned ante-mortcm by govern
ment. state and city inspectors is
slaughtered, is eaten by the poor.
About 81 per cent. of stock held for
slaughter, upon being condemned on
ante-mortem inspection. and after dis
eased organs n parts a been re-
moved, is finally passed upon and en-
tiers the market. either as fresh meat or
i'm the form of meat food products. aad
IS largely consumed by the foreign poor.
There cannot be the slightest pues-
ton but that the great increase In can
Ger among the foreign born. over the
prevalence of that disease in their ma
tive countries, is due to the Increasing
consumption of animal foods, partic-
ularly those derived from diseased ami
mails

Different Names For Waves.

They have curiously different names
for waves about the coast of Great
Britain. The Peterhead folk call the
large breakers that fall with crash
on the beach by the grim name of
.Norrawa Norway carpenters" On
the low Lincolnshire coast, as on the
southwestern Atlantic fronting shore OF
these islands, the grandly long I'M
broken waves are known as rollers"
Among east Anglians heavy surf,
tumbling in with an offshore wind or
In a calm, is called by the expressive
name Of "slog," while well marked
swell, rolling in Independently of any
blowing, is called a "home." There is
no wind,'' Suffolk fisherman will say.
"but nasty home on the beach," Suf-
folk men also speak Of the bark" Of
the surf, and a sea covered with foam
Is spoken of as feather white" The
foam itself is known as spoon drift. ;"
So, In the vernacular, we have ii, 'The
sea was all a feather white with spoon
drift"
