MAN WHO OESERVES PITY.

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

that there is much of setting to rights

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

money to pay their bills and his own.

CANDY AND CANCEFt
Xm Imdiaa Army Office re Theory (
- the Dread IMeeaec
In an article in the Indian Medical
Gazette. 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.

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

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."
