That's just example of peculiar food combina-

proves that there's nothing in the argument which
some food faddists offer against mixing food.
These single-food opponents point to the example
of animals, which never mix their foods. But, OF
course, these animals viii eat almost any food mix
ture if you'll only mix it for them.
1t is exceedingly difficult to weigh the exact facts
as to the effects of various foods on the human
being, principally because everything the human

Cancer has been ascribed to the fact that eat
bread made from white flour, and also to the eating
OF tomatoes The only reason for such belief is the
fact that the cancer rate seems to have increased
since the introduction Of white bread and tomatoes,
but the rate has also increased since the introduction
of automobiles.
The real reason is that cancer is disease Of

mite, loose manner, "One Big
Union" which would not be a ma
ton as now understood, but simply
a loose federation of groups of
workers, each owning and operat-
ing the industry in which it works.
Drawing its membership orig
inally mostly from migratory and
unskilled workers, it became
known as a buns" organization,
which impression it strengthened
by fostering a hobo tradition in
song and print.
The first strike in which it
seized leadership was at Goldfeld,
Colo, and its greatest success
came in 1912, when it conducted
the successful textile strike at
Lawrence, Mass.
During the World war, which it
opposed, the l. w. w. repeatedly
ran afoul of the government
through sabotage, and the syndi-
calist laws which many states
passed were aimed chiefly at this
organization.

PAID BY BREWERIES
Heavy Levy Is Revealed by
Fair Display.

The sixteen Indiana breweries pay
annually taxes totaling $7,746,366 1t
would require a tax levy of 20 cents
on each 500 based on the present
assessed value of all taxable state
property to raise similar sum.
These figures are presented
graphically in the display of the
Brewers Association in the Manu-
facturers' building at the Indiana
state fair.
State brewers pay $6,222,OO0 each
year to the federal government, of
which $6,O00OOO goes to pay the
internal revenue tax of IS for every
barrel of beer produced. Nine state
taxes take $1,072, 1866 from the brew
ers, principal of which is the state
excise tax of cents a gallon, which
raises $1,000,000.
Community taxes and fees cost
the breweries $45O,000 annually.

The present tactics OF the party
are aimed at: Making as good a
showing in political affairs, local

advantage of distress to organize
workers, unemployed, eX-soldierS,
boys, and other elements, and to
embarrass the government as
much as possible by "demonstra-

Also, the Communists organize
their own unions to compete with

probability would seem to be a
continuance Of the present status,
perhaps with some modification,
as a ward" of the League Of Ma
lions.
If the Saar should return to
Germany, that would end the
Communist party. Thus, politics
making strange bedfellows, the
Communists have buried their
differences with the Socialists,
and are making common cause.
Stranger still, perhaps, is the
swing OF Catholic votes away from
the German front. They distrust
the Nazis, and quite naturally
they feel their interest lies in Join
ing the German opposition.
The religious issue seems to be
the most important factor. Near
ly every person interviewed admit
ted the Catholics attitude may
determine the Saar's future. The
Catholics compose almost per
cent of the population. From the
very beginning of Hitler's difficult
ties with the Catholic church in
Germany, Saar priests have de-
nounced the Nazis' intention to
take the training of youths out
of the church's hands, and have
condemned the supposed heather
theology" which is supposed to be
behind the principles Of Naziism.
These denunciations have dou-
bled since Hitler's blood purge"
in which two prominent Catholics,
DR.. Klausener and DR.. Probst, lost
their lives.

It was Americas public intro
duction to the more radical phases
of the labor movement, and most
authorities agree that the public
reaction to its horrors set labor's
progress back many years.

ness, and the whole of America
for the first time became an
archist-cOnscious."
THERE were anarchists in the
Il Haymarket affair, and
knights of Labor, and many
other shades of radicals. Jo-
hannes Most, German advocate
of the overthrow of church and
state and substitution of a vague
federation of groups of workers,
was the bogie man of the day.
1t probably was the Haymarket
which led America generally to
lump together anarchists, Social
lists, Syndicalists and Communists
as radicals" though there is wide
divergence and often strife among
these groups.
"Anarchism" died down, but, in
1905 America produced a new rad
lcal group of its own, the Indus
trial Workers of the World, known
popularity as the I. w. w. or
"WobblieS."
Delegates from the old Knights
of Labor, certain radical western
mining unions, Socialist elements
and an assortment of radicals
from many other groups, met in
Chicago at the industrial union
congress.
Believing that craft unioniSm
