1t has often been pointed out that

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 is at least remarkable coinci-
dence and must have some bearing
upon the solution of the problem. But
the true theory must explain all the
| facts; and the th@ory that meat causes
cancer does not explain the Well-estab-
lshed 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 is 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.

meat consumption is very high, beer

variety in food must interfere with
normal metabolism; cells having a
preference, for instance, for animal
food, might prolifeTate in a manner
different from those selecting vegeta-
BILE food. All animals partake of the
character Of the food upon which they
live, and the extreme and growing
complexity of food in those countries
in which cancer is most prevalent

As to the hessian EIy.

The Hessian fly is German produce
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. 1t is long, rangy
fly with a bite like steel trap, and it
lays pale blue, oblong egg at the
rate of 10000 an hour. The Hessian
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to a glass inkwell, but its
favorite dish is the double neck of a
fat gent. This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fy-paper without
crooking its toes, and is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of it's whiskers. If it ever fas-
tens upon your jowl, it will stay until
removed by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

on Fuel In British Navy.


It is curious that the British naval su-
thorities should have abandoned oil fuel at
a moment when In foreign fleets 1t has
been decided that Its advantages are 50 con-
siderable as to make It desirable to aban-
don coal in the smaller craft.
1t is probable that there Is one simple
explanation of the change In Admiralty poi
Icy The British Empire has very limited
resources of oil fuel, and at present the
supplies OF the navy have to be obtained
from abroad The supplies may be cut off
In time Of war and therefore the Admiralty
is compelled to sink considerable capital In
The British navy already possesses q
large number of ships which make large de.
mands for oil fuel. All the later capital
shire Of the navy carry oil fuel In addition
to coal, and for some years past all torpeao
craft have been fitted exclusively for the
use Of liquid fuel.
Apparently the Admiralty has decided
that, in view of the present limited sources
Of supply and their liability to interference.
II is an act of craftsmanship not to commit
the navy further in this direction There Is
every reason to hope that in the near future
additional supplies Of oil fuel win be avail
able within the British Empire ana then
presumably the Admiralty will revert once
more to Its use in new ships.

Primary Expenses.

Under q new law in Colorado that
State will in the next election cam
paign make an innovation In the mat
ter Of providing for the expense of pri-
mary elections that will be watched
with interest. The purpose, Of the
Colorado law Is to shut out all contri-
buttons for primary expenses from in
dividuals or corporations. with the
OF money in the elections: The law
provides that only candidates for office
NAV be allowed to contribute to the
funds OF cnmpaign committees. and
that these contributions In each in
stance shall in amount not exceed IS
per cent of the nrst years salary at
tached to the office to which the candi-
date asplres. other individuals and
corp BORA lions are prohibited from maxi
ing any contributions whatever, and a
yiolatfon of this law will subject the
offender to a penalty of not more than
two wears in the penitentlary or fine
Of not more than $4,000.
The law further provides that an APP
propriation shall be made out OF the
State treasury for primary expenses,
TO an amount equal ~ 25 cents for each
vote cast at the last primary election,
this fund to be properly apportioned
for legitimate use in defraytng the ex.
uenseS of the election.
