CANCER is ON THE INCREASE.
theory That Orc adful Disease May Be
Caused BY Excessive Eating
Of Meat.

One OF the latest theories pro-
pounded in regard to the rapid and
most alarming increase in the deaths
from cancer is that ii may be caused
b. excessive meat eating and by eat
ing bad meat.
Statistics show in the annual re-
port to the state health departmen,
that the average death rate from can
Ger has increased in the last 10 years
a little over IS per cent
The Chicago board OF health some
time ago discovered that the percent
age of deaths among immigrants from
cancer was far in excess OF the death
rate from the same disease in the
countries they had left The physician
who undertook to Investigate and dis
cover the causes for this found the
mortality records showed that deaths
from cancer among immigrants from
Oriental countries and native Ameri-
cans We're much less in proportion to
numbers than among Germans and i'm.
migrants from Southeastern Europe
On studying their diet he found the
Orientals did not eat meat and the
the people of other nationalities ate
flesh in large quantities.
Another theory is that cancer comes
largely from Indigestion and conse-
quent poisoning of the system through
lack of proper mastication of one 8
food. and also through overeating, so
that where people eat largely OF meat
and are in the habit of boiling" their
food cancer is more than likely to in
crease.
To eat slowly does not necessarily
imply masticating properly. for one
can dilly-dally and not chew. In any
event. the careful chewing OF food is
absolutely Cessary to good health
Slow chewing prevents over feeding
and the consequent choking up of the
system and results in a clearer brain
and a more active and beautiful body.
Every one knows that too much
fuel chokes an engine, and so in like
fashion too much food chokes the
body
AT its best, cancer is a frightful dis.
ease. painful and disgusting. and
every care should be taken by all to
avoid 1t. If prevention can do it,
every one should join in the crusade
and by right diet and proper eating
ward off one of the greatest curses of
humanity.

country on the globe number almost
as many different nationalities. each
being chosen for his peculiar fitnezs in
the particular branch OF the cult which
the philosopher desired that he follow.
The latest member has now been in
the colony IL years, and the prtpara-
ton OF u manuscripts by these men
is at once to be started These books.
together with the , that Sadony him
self has nearly finished, will ol-liue
with the greatest minuteuess The be
lief which these men have followed
for so many years.
Sadony is a believer in the simple
life Nothing distracts him from his
study and from early morning until
late at night all 13 of the men work
hard az their books and indulge in pro-
longed debates with each other All
questions, after being argued OUT at
length. are referred TO the entire 10.
who decide only after careful coHsid-
GRAFTON just what lines the creed will
follow
Within the space of about a year
Sadony expects that the work OF him
and put into logical shape. 1t will not.
however, be presented to the public.
Sadony sees to it that all of the writ
ings of the cult are carefully projected
from the curious and by keeping them
under double lock and key, within a
cement house. the walls of which are
nearly three feet thick. makes it GER
tain that no prying eye shall see any
OF the cults teachings.
When the "a manuscripts are com.
pleted, . years will be spent in going
over their teachings and small revis-
ions will be made from time 20 time
At the close of the period the cult
will be opened to the criticism of the
world, 1t is preparing against minor
/ omissions and perfecting the manu-
scripts against any OF the critics who
are at once expected to attack it, that
Sadony is giving so much time 10. And
when he completes the work he ex-
poets that the truths revealed will
be so startling as to discredit the work
OF the critic.

in any form are forbidden on Pakatos,
