the knees with fine chains. His neck was en-

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 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
but is not true of Greenland, in which
meat consumption is very high, beer

Cancer rarely occurs before mature

the age of 40 to SIS. During the period

proportion, and when waste and re-

America, the tendency to abnormal
proliferation is great, especially If the
exercise is not sufficient to maintain
normal katabolism, or breaking down
and renewal of cells, so as to provide
a normal use for the elaborated cell

Why, it will naturally be asked, are
women more subject to cancer than
are men? Woman is more delicately
constituted and under the same cOndi-
tons is more easily disOrganized. The
fact that those organisms are more

tumors which are subject to period

general principle of causation.
Prof. Metchnikoff arrived at the
conclusion that naturalization, self

waste products of superfuous foods, is
the chief cause of physical decay, a
theory presented before, but the rem

Quires special adaptation for elimina-
ton, and that the natural preventive
of auto-intoxication is the simplifica-

The statistics on cancer, which have
been published for half 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 to
be done that can throw lurther light
+ 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 on
a strict vegetable diet. These animals
vary most in domestication from their
natural diet. l think their chances
would be better on a 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 meat
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 DR.. Sails
bury says: Cancers are durable, 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 haG
experience in handling the disease

and PHYSICAL condition all in perfect

identified with the American Dix

noldsville last Thursday looking after
business affairs of the company Mr.
Goddard, in conversation with the
secretary of the Business Mems Associa-
tion stated that it was the intention OF
the American Silk Company to sell the
local mill if possible to some company
able to run it. He is Of the opinion after
examination that the Reynoldsville mill
is one Of the finest, and possibly the
best, of all the mills Of the company,
and he has had practical mill experience
sufficient to understand the physical
value of such a plant Part OF his
business here was to gain first hand ac-
quaintance with all matters connected
with the mill with the idea of gradually
unwinding a rather tangled skein OF
financial entanglements and getting the
property in salable condition.

The survey and route, which were re-

stations on the Pittsburg, Summerville &
Clarion railroad, to Sutton station, on the

mile. The new road will open up a
considerable body of coalstributary to the
p. s. & c., and will give it an additional
outlet and a largely-increased business.
The Pennsylvania Southern will develop a
heavy coal tonnage Immediately.
The following are the officers of the new

A PROPHET OF THE new ERA.

Considerably over century ago a
French protestant exile by the name Of
John Piatt came to this country to escape
religious persecution. He settled upon
the New England frontier, From the
loins Of his one man have sprung
successive generations Of soldiers, journal
lists, poets, preachers, farmers and business
men. From one branch of the family alone
came Col. A. Sanders Piatt, the general,
John Piatt, the poet, and Dom Piatt the
journalist During the Civil War score
Of these men from both sides of the Mason
against family and blood for a principle.
The mettle Of the ancestral zealot has
reappeared in the life and work Of Byron
G. Piatt. The key to the man is in the
line he has chosen for himself from the
poet Heine. Upon leaving college to enter
the ministry he was drawn irresistibly
into the thick of the social questions that
are agitating our time. He comes to the
Lyceum platform because he has to. His
ideas have possessed him completely and
IOTCcu IlllI lHtO tne arena W IlRHb IOr uHeul.
Mr.. Piatt is an orator and more-he is a
prophet Voice, gesture and body combine
to drive home the thing that he has to say.
First, last and all the message is the
thing. Every sentence is welded together
with overmastering conviction He
possesses the charm and magnetism of
downright thorough-going sincerity.
The romance of facts and figures, mastery
argument, thrusts of ridicule, flashes Of
wit and impassioned appeals to reason and
conscience follow each other in rapid
succession till the whole compass of
human life is played upon. He warns and
lifts his hearers into enthusiasm iby the
breadth of his sympathy and his passion
for justice. His style is direct and simple,
and, at times, epigrammatic with sharp
turns of expression and surprises of
thought that keep the listener tense with
attention.

entertainer on the public school lecture
course, appearing December g.
