NEVADA COUNTY TO
 VOTE ON HOG LAW
Bond Is Filed for Election 10 Be Held on
 July 10th on This Question

There was filed yesterday with the Treasurer Of Nevada County bond in the sum of S25O, sign ed by Al property holders of Ne- vada county, guaranteeing the expenses of a special election to be held in Nevada county on July 10th, at which the qualified cit iZens of the county will vote on the question of a four wire fence, under the provisions Of bill in- troduced in the last legislature by Senator Mckenzie and passed by that body. The bond was fil- ed but few hours before the time allowed for it's filing, and it was generally believed that those favoring a stock law were going to abandon the privilege the bill gave them of securing a vote on the question by failing to make the bond.

Edward H. Hartman has been cut Oh
in his prime. and the loss Of one of the
nations presidents from this cause
comes to mind. In view Of these
facts 1t may be said that cancer is the
direst blight of humanity and every
new prospect of the discovery of its
real nature. its cause, and consequent,
ly its cure. is profoundly alluring.
The late eminent DR.. Nicholas Sem
twice circled the globe on this great
quest-a search far more important
than for the location Of the north
pole. After visiting all classes of man.
kind. from the Greenlander, oubsisting
ON blubber, to the lowest tribes in Al
rica, he could only say that cancer is
a disease of over-indulgenece.
In recent years gratifying progress
has been made in determining the ma.
ture of cancer. by means of expert.
ments on animals.
The facts thus obtained have
thrown much light upon its de-
velopment, but thus far no conclusion
has been arrived at as to its true ma,
ture, the means by which 1t may be
prevented and the specific cure.
The true theory Of the cause of can
Ger and its cure must be found by
reasoning from the data furnished by
those experiments conducted on both
sides of the Atlantic, all of which are
at the command Of Independent inves-
tigators together with the statistics
of deaths from cancer recorded in this
country and in Europe.
1t has often been pointed out that
cancer is rare in those countries in
which the consumption of meat is
lowest-India. China, Arabia, Italy.
Greece-and highest in those in which
flesh food Is most used-England.
America. France and Germany-and
the conclusion has been drawn that
flesh eating is the cause of cancer
This u at least a remarkable coinci-

dence and must have some bearing
the true theory must explain all the
facts; and the theory that meat causes
cancer does not explain the well-estab
lished fact that in all those countries
Of Europe in which the consumption
OF beer is high mortality from cancer
Is high. and in all those in which the
consumption of beer ia low mortality
from cancer is low, unless the people
who eat most meat consume most
beer, which Is true SO far as England
Germany and America are concerned
but is not true Of Greenland, in which
meat consumption is very high, beer
consumption IL very low, and mortality
from cancer very low; nor does it ap
ply to semi-cannibal tribes. in which
meat consumption is high, beer un
known, and cancer unknown, accord

say Vi iigiu uiet and the importance
of the mental condition, and while o2-
posing the meat diet as cure for
cancer, am glad to acknowledge that
DR.. Salisbury has shown the absurdity
of the claim that there is any virtue in
vegetarfanism. per Sc.
DR.. W. Roger Williams says in the
Twentieth Century Practice Of Medi-
cine:-"Of 1914 cancer patients. 80 had
been moderate, rs small. and 16 large
meat eaters-not single vegetarian
and only a few great eaters OF vezeta-
bles." 1t does not follow that meat
causes cancer, as many suppose. Prob
ably the 80 moderate meat eaters in
dulged in greater variety than the 70
small meat eaters.
Davidson. in his Geographical Path

absent in Central Africa, Gold Coast,
New Caledonia, Persia, Jamaica, Gull
ana and among other primitive tribes
SIMPLE IN THEIR DIET" This re-
flutes alike the meat and the vegetable

Ger seldom appears in persons who
abstain from flesh. 1t is very rare
among the vegetarian natives OF India.
A physician who practiced for many
years among the natives Of Tierras

almost wholly upon tropical fruits and
other vegetables, says he never saw q
case OF cancer among these people"
This is no doubt true, but 1t Is
equally true that the natives of Green.
land and cannibals generally are prac-
tically immune from cancer, according
to Dr. Sem, but not because they alb
stain from vegetables.
i There is persistent popular belief.
in this country and in England. that
tomatoes cause cancer. Tomatoes
cause cancer only in the same sense
in which beans or meat cause it. Veg
etarians are less liable than meat
eaters.
Evidently not any one food. but ex-
cessive and indiscriminate mixing. to-
gether with abnormal mental states is
the general cause. And the remedy Is
clearly indicated. though requiring
skill in its application; a gradual res
toration of normal nutrition through
the application of the principle of the
monodiet, in harmony with normal
mental conditions
Since this article was put in type,
DR.. Bashford, of the Cancer Research
Institute. London. has given the results
of his recent Investigations into the
cause Of cancer. He says it is not hered-
itary: this is favorable to the "nu-
triopathic" theory. His reported state
ment that men are more liable than
women, is, think. erroneous. His dis
covery that the trout is especially H.
able. among fish. also supports my
theory l have Investigated the hab-
its of trout. and find that, according to
the nutriopathic theory it should be

America, the tendency to abnormal
proliferation is great, especially If the

q normal use for the elaborated cell
material.
Why. 1t will naturally be asked, are
women more subject to cancer than
are men? Woman is more delicately
constituted and under the same condt
tions is more easily disorganized. The
fact that those organisms are more
frequently the location Of cancerous
tumors which are subject to period
ical growth, whose growth is vari
able and therefore more easily disor
ganized, when the conditions are ia
vorable to cancer. harmonizes with the
general principle of causation.
Prof. Metchnikoff arrived at the
conclusion that autointoxication, self
poisoning by the absorption of the
waste products of superfiuous foods, IL
the chief cause of physical decay, 8
theory presented before. but the rem

which prevents the development ol
certain pathogenic germs In the co.'1
A close relation exists between auto
intoxication and cancer, and 1t can be
readily shown that as each food re
quires special adaptation Tor its diges
ton, SO the waste of each food re
quires special adaptation for elimina
ton, and that the natural preventive
of auto-intoxication is TIE simplifica
tion of food.
The statistics on cancer, which have
been published for half a century In
England and America, are elaborate
beyond the requirements Of any sys
tematic investigation, and the many
thousands OF catalogued experiments
made upon animals leave nothing tc
be done that can throw Iurther ligh,
! upon the problem.
Leblanc, an eminent Partisan veter
mary authority on cancer, says that
the dog. cat and pig are the animals
most subject to cancer, that the
chances of recovery are slight when
the knife and cauterization are used
and that carnivorous animals will be
much more likely to recover If kept or
strict vegetable diet. These animals
vary most in domestication from theiI
natural diet. l think their chances
would be better on purely meat diet
The important point is that the diet
should not be mixed. 1t is interesting
in this connection to note that DR.
Salisbury, originator Of the mea,
cure" held that an exclusive diet OF
meat, little cooked, would cure cancer
1t doubtless would If the patient would
not die from resulting auto-intoxica
ton. An ardent follower of DIR. Sails
bury says: Cancers are curable, but
they require such close attention. such
careful watching that the patient
would have to be under the daily and
most vigilant care of one that has had
experience in handling the disease
