DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
FOOD AND CANCER.

DR.. Malcolm Seymour of Bos-
ton believes that "the solution
of the cancer problem will be
found in the scientific investioa-
ton of the common forms of
food" according to recent
newspaper dispatch. He thinks
eggs are especially dangerous
in this respect. THE theory has
not been proved as yet" he is
reported as saying, but he
thinks that "if some living cells
of the raw egg were to attach
themselves to an intestinal ul-
Ger or sore they might begin
there the malignant growth
which almost invariably means
death" The important point
to note is that II ere must be a
constitutional condition favor
able to cancer before it can de-
Velop, as in consumption, and
that prevention consists in main
tanning normal nutrition.

NEW WAY TO CLEAN COFFEE
Gated Apparatus for Separating
Beans Into Sizes.

A rather complicated but ingenious
apparatus for cleaning coffee. which
results in its separation into three
sizes Of beans. has been patented by
Colorado man. A receiving drum
passes down through a suction pipe
and discharges over a cone.shaped sep.
arator. As the coffee falls. an upward
draft 10 created by suction. which car
ries the fine particles through the pipe
and down into chamber on the other
side. where all that is hopeless waste
is expelled through series Of slots
and such fine particles as can be used
