A plea for pity is entered by an east ern Journal on behalf of the unfortu nate : man who through the ' summer months is forced to eat a restaurant breakfast or wait until luncheon time to break his fast. And the commisera tion is solicited because' someone has complained that restaurant keepers do not give the amount, of attention to serving the day's first meal that they do to the two later ones. There are no hard and fast figures at hand to prove that this is so, hut It is rather a general conclusion that . left-overs from the day - before are used for the first comers and that this is hardly square dealing. :-'-.;' Then, besides the matter of food be ing none too fresh, there is complaint that there is much of setting to rights In the restaurants during the hour one wishes to take breakfast, which cre ates a confusion calculated to make even an appetizing meal unenjoyable. Sweeping dusting, filling of salt, pep per and vinegar receptacles go on un der the patron's very nose, while .the waiters display a sang frold that 'tells Mm, or appears to do so, that be has no business to eat in strange places, that if he has a home he should be In It and that if he. hasn't a place to call home he is a very poor specimen, indeed, and not worthy ,,of more con sideration than he is receiving. With these complaints at hand, then, it seems we shall all have to take it for granted that there's a foundation of fact for them and do what we can to impress It upon restaurant keepers that their first duty in summer is to do their share -toward making -life pleasant for the self-sacriflclng man who sends his family to the country while he stays behind and earns the money to pay their bills and his own. An awakening to this duty swept through the ranks of purveyors of life's necessaries and pleasure years ago and the results have been as sat: Isfactory as substitutes, or, 1 we might say, compensations could well be.

Captain E. B. Boat, I. M. 8., attributes the rise in cancer mortality to an Increased consumption of sugar, in the form of sweetmeats and other delicacies tf modern confectionery, and a corresponding diminution in the use of salt-preserved articles of diet. His theory is that malignant disease Is parasitic in' origin, and is due to the invasion of the body by a saccharomy cete, the growth of which is favored by glucose, but Inhibited by sub stances containing chlorine, and only admissible when the amount of chlo rine In the body falls. below normal. Some of his experiments, which he re cords in support of this view, are rath er remarkable. - He has cultivated sac charomycetes , from a variety of tu mors on sterile cane sugar, and has also prepared what he describes as "a kind of tumor Jam," by preserving por tions of tumors in the same medium. Sections of this "Jam." show "the tu mor cell as usual, but the saccharo mycetes abounding in and between them." He passed chlorine gas through his cultures of saccharomy cetes, and found that It "rapidly killed the organisms, and it is evidently the chlorine that is the active agent" - According to Captain Rost, the guid ing principle in the treatment of can cer should be to diminish the amount of glucose in the body and increase the amount of chlorine, thereby ren dering the. patient's body an unfavor able culture medium for the specific micro-organisms. He - has put this theory Into practice upon ten patients, his treatment consisting "first, of a strict diabetic diet, and, secondly, of piling in sodium chloride into the body, and preventing its excretion as much as possible." The results are said to have been most successful, but, unfortunately, the patients them selves do not appear to have been unanimous as to the advantages of the treatment they were receiving, since four out of their number ran away. Experiments were also tried upon ani mals, cancerous material and "saccha romycetes" obtained by " culture from cancers being used for inoculation; various lesions were produced, and in some instances the Influence of a salt diet upon the affected animals was studied. In imitation of the , human patients, "one guinea pig and one cat absconded," apparently before the benefits of sodium chloride had been accorded to them. 1 The announcement that sweetmeats predispose to cancer, if it finds its way into the cheaper sensational Jour nalism, may prove alarming to sun dry juvenile and feminine readers; but if it checks their appetite for confec tionery, it will at least Improve their digestion; and, although the use of so dium chloride as an antidote would engender a thirst which . might be slaked unwisely, there is little fear of so unpalatable a remedy' becoming popular. Stilly we think that Captain Rost would have been wise in defer ring the publication of his theories until he had established them on a somewhat broader scientific basis. British Medical Journal. AN HONEST MAN. He Refused to . Profit by Carelessness in Kecording: Barly Transfers. : An incident, which exhibits the sterl ing Integrity of a man. who could with stand the temptations of wealth rather than do the smallest act of Injustice, is told In H. M. Chittenden's "History of Steamboat .Navigation on the .'Mis souri River." rThe principal actor was one of the early settlers of St Louis, a Mr. LeBarge, who had purchased a small tract of land for which he paid twenty-five dollars. ; --Land wm then of very little value, and transfers were often made without deed and with no more formallty-than In exchanging cattle or horses. In this way Mr. LeBarge traded his land on what Is now Clair street, St. Louis, to Chaurin Lebeau for a horse. Long years afterward, when these transactions were almost' forgotten, and the property had become very valuable, a lawyer presented himself to the old gentleman . and asked him If he had ever owned - any land on Cedar street Mr. LaBarge replied in the affirmative, and described its local ity. The lawyer then asked him when and how he disposed of it. He could not at first recall, but Mrs. LeBarge remembered the circumstances and re lated them to the lawyer, at the same time remarking to her husband that that was the way they got their horse to set themselves up on the farm with. The lawyer then assured Mr. , Le Barge - that the title to this property was still vested in him, and that he could hold It against, all comers, for there was absolutely no record of the conveyance In existence. " -- The. old gentleman, with a look of indignation, asked the lawyer if ha took him for a thief. "I traded that land," said he, "to Chaurin Lebeau for. a horse, which was worth' more to me than the land was. I shall stand by the bargain now. If Chaurin Lebeau's heirs have no title, tell them to come to me and I will make them a deed before I die." v- The Composite House. ;-v.r " When" Mr. Subbubs built a nest - ' In which to house his bride, .
