That bad food is at the bottom of cancer and good food is the only reason able hope of curing it, is the opinion of Dr. .Elmer E. Lee, formerly chairman of the department of dietetics of the - American Musical Association. . Or. T. J. Allen, the food specialist who writes "Diet and Health Hints" for the Washington Post, says: "For several years it has been main tained in these f.'ints that cancer is a constitutional ,not a local .disease, and that therefore it castiot be cured by purely local treatment, and that the essential physical cause is bad diet. This opinion is gradually being accept ed by the medical profession, and if it proves to be correct the people should be educated on the prevention of cancer with as much care as is now given 'to education on the prevention of tuberculoisis." Many of the discoveries of science serve to teach the wisdom of watching With the ufmost care what goes down our throats and the more the men of science proDeana study the stronger as a result, become the reasons for keep- ; ing a sharp lookout for danger in food - and drink. .- Sometimes . the illness which results from what we take into our stomachs is acute and there is no uncertainty as to the cause. But with the more insidious diseases, the part , - V . i. j i i . . inui iimhj ana arinic plays is not so clear and the opinion of scientists like those we have quoted has to be aken. Their theory as to cancer seems en tirely plausible. That improper feed ing year in year out is compelled to have some sort of violent result seems to be only a natural conclusion. Another thought that is suggested by this new theory of cancer is that it shows cancer like tuberculoiss to be social disease. If good food is neces sary to forestall cancer, how necessary u it that the largest number of peopl possible shall have good food! And how much greater and more pressing the duty resting on those responsible for the government of the land of seeing that what Woodrow Wilson calls the "rule of right and justice" shall pre vail! injustice in the laws is bad enough when its direct results alone are considered. But when its existence is seen to mean not only that peopli are scantily supplied with this world goods but are also marked for slaughter by some loathsome disease, the horror of it becomes fearfully Impressive. MR. LANE MAKES A GOOD SUG GESTION. Mr. Daniel Lane's remarks on dogs and the reasons why some should be taxed out of existence and others taxed oa account of existence should concern a considerable number of people. The problem on which they bear, as a matter of fact .concerns everbody directly or indirectly for as a man cannot live without exerting an influence so a dog cannot live without producing an effect He makes Pasteur institutes necessary and they are often aided out of the public purse. He eats and that means an increase in the demand for edibles and increased demand means advanced price. ' . We believe that those who can af ford It ought to pay the bulk of the taxes and a man who at the present high cost of living can afford to own and feed a dog must be in the nature of the case a well-heeled individual and therefore amply able to pay a good sized dog tax. So here is subscribing heartily to Mr. Lane s sentiments. LOOK OUT GOVERNOR! When Charlie Conroy of East Orange, New Jersey, got up Christmas morning he found that a letter he had addressed to Santa Claus, State House, Trenton, N. J., had been answered by Cover Wilson.' - Charlie had asked for a sweat rr, a pair of gloves, a neck tie, a cap, two books, a train of cars, a box of blocks, and some Candy and fruit. The Governor was so impressed that he directed a stenographer to fill the l.nj's order,' It was of course very nice and generous in the Governor, but we submit that in his own interest he ought to have kept the incident out of print. The White House will be one of Santa Claus' principal postoflices next Christ- tu . i CFTTING BAD START. !e rnmmi.-iMon form in Richmond i.

A wireless message of good cheer to be sent atound rhe world is being planned by the Navy Deparmtent for New Year's Day. The idea originated with the acting Secretary of the Navy, Re'ir Admiral Philip Andrews, who is engaged in as certaining if such a thing is possible. The usual plan of sending the greet ings to the Naval officers and sailors in foreign waters and at home has been abandoned, because the cable companies object to transmitting the messages without pay and '.the Navy Department is umble to foot the cable bills. Rear-Admiral Andrews has learned that it is possible to send a message as far as Tokyo, and is hopeltiol that the globe may be circled' by a wireless message. It will be necessary to con nect with a large number of battle- snips carrying wireless apjaratus to establish the circuit, but ii it is neces sary and there is time the Rear-Ad-miidl will attempt the fe;u of sending a message the a5,000 miles oi more. President Taft v ill be Zh'.ieti to send the greetings if Rear-Admiral Andrew's plan is carried out. Washington Cor responJenee New York Tribune. NOSE BREATHING. The human nose beats any filter plant yet devised bv maa. And it is moie than a filter plant. It is a warm.'! and a humidifier. Ey this means w are able to get air properly coniitioned to enter the innermost pai ls of the body To see i little of what your nose is do mg for you, just blow it vigorously on a clean white handkerchief after you have been in a dusty place foi a short while. To breathe through the mouth is to bypass the filter plant. You would not tninic mucn oi a city with a water filter plant il the superintendf-nt by passed the filter plant. Well then, dont bypass or short circuit the nose. Use it. Air properly warmed, moist ened and cleaned of dut md germs is just as essential for your lungs as pure food or pure water for your stomarh. Breathing through the nose i the only natural way to breathe. If you hav? difficulty in breathing through the nose at all times, there is some thin? wrong. You probably have ade noids or some other obstructive growth. These are eisily remedied, and every one snourj nave them attended to at once, and avoid the chances of throat and. lung troubles or consumption it self. Board of Health Press Service. TO AVOID INFECTION. ,' The best means to avoid the infec tion of .contagious diseases when un avoidably exposed, are the following: Always have good ventilation in the room. Never stand between the pa tient and the fire, but always between him and fresh air. - Never swallow any saliva while in the room, and after leaving, rinse out the mouth, blow the nose, and wash the hands and face. Keep up good general health by good food, exercise, and temperance. State Board of Health PISTOL-TOTING. .'. The Omaha Bee in art editorial on the subject of "Self-Control" presents some very important thoughts on the pistol toting habit. Says the Bee: "The great problem of life is' self- control. The need of a better solution of it has been felt in this city, where intone week three murders, were com mitted. Self-defense is accepted as a justifiable plea iu one case, yet the evidence in all shows that with proper self-control no blood would have been shed. The daily papers continue to reflect similar tragedies all over the country due to hair-trigger tempers and unbridled passions let loose - with out regard for consequences, -Very trivial causes, or imagined grievances, are allowed to provoke murder. "Hut so long as society includes so many without sell-control, who hold life lightly enough to be taken for the slightest provocation, it should do the utmost it can to retsrain them and pro tect life and it could do a good deal more han it is it doing by making it more difficult to obtain deadly weaoons. bout which, to a diseased mind, there somewhat of glamor. So long as irresponsible men and women can walk a cheap shop, with its display windows tilled with instruments of eath, and help themselves for a small price, so long will murder be common." i It is rather remarkable that so little has been done in this country to lessen he menace of the revolver. The New York World calls it the national menace and it is a fitting characterization. . It is far and away too easy to get a pistol. And the punishment for carry. ing one concealed about , one's person in violation of law is too light. The offence should be regarded as more serious and the prescribed pun ishment made correspondingly greater. Heavy taxes on dealers, we do not be kive' meet the difficulty. ' For the dealers add to the price of the weapons and thus get back the amount paid out in tax.. In fact the problem is not one that can be solved correctly without a good deal of thoought. But it is a problem in every State of sufficient lators. A GREAT RAILROAD. ; The Raleigh Times does not over estimate the importance to a tremen dous stretch and outreach of North Carolina territory, of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Of especial im portance will this road prove to de velopment in Raleigh and Charlotte. Without minimizing the importance of existing railroads in the least, it may be said that the Norfolk Southern is to. be regarded as the State's -most valuable railroad' enterprise since the day when railroading was in its in fancy. As to the logical location for the shops,- the builders of the road have their own ideas and it will be just as well for the newspapers to let them decide that point. .The town that gets a' Norfolk' Southern depot of any sort will have no cause to com plain. Charlotte Observer. RAILROADS AND STEAMSHIP COMPANIES. ' President Mellen' of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com pany, announces that, the steamship companies owned by that . railroad will, be put up at auction and 'sold to the highest bidder. This is to forestall action by the government, which has threatened suit. Railroads should stick to the railroad business and leave coal mining and' the operation of steamboats to other people. When there is full and free com petition between railroads and steam boat companies, points located ' like New Bern will have transportation facilities that will play a real and im portnat part in their growth, and de vrlopment. The efforts of the government in the direction of prying the railroads; loose from their holdings in steamship com panics are in all respects commend able and should have the support and approval of the public. THE INDIANAPOLIS VERDICT, In Indianapolis yesterday the jury in the famous dynamiting case in which a large number of union men, members f the International Iron Workers' Union, were charged with conspiracy in connection with 4 he dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building, re turned a verdict of guilty. The peudent of the union, its first vice-preisdent and two members of its executive board were among those convicted.. United States District At' torney Miller stated that the verdict was not a blow to union labor and in this we think he was tight. Labor organizations, no matter how worthy their aim, will never be able to keep their membership rolls free from uuprinclpled men. The church has many scoundrels- in its ranks but that does not make the ehurch as whole bad. ,"...' .'-,- But the Indianapolis verdict and in fact the revelations in general which have come our as a result of the trial should ieacli union labor a lesson and that is the necessity of a more careful oversight over the class of men let into its membership. The objects of union labor organizations are commendable but commendable ends are not obtained by unscrupulous means. :; ." .... ' r '. WHOLESOME SENTIMENTS , President-elect Wilson expresses the wish that the ceremonies iu connection with his induction into orhce shall be as simple as possible. , William Sulzer, the new Governor of New York, pro poses that the usual inaugural paride which caot the State of New York about two thousand dollars be dispensed with as a measure of economy.. The sentiments of these two distinguished men will have a wholesome effect. In dividuals and groups of individuals are too much disposed to seek display whatever the cost., President-elect Wilson and Governor-elect Sulzer say there is no need to waste monev on needless how even when you have it to waste.

As jn the development of suburbs car lines are their ,l1iwn feeders as a result of ..making : it convenient for people to .live facfrioro the business section and then hauling them' to and from their' work. so with an inter urban line, if the business at first should not be large enough to be profitable, the presence of the electric line would lend such an, impetus ; to , industrial conditions that it would soon be found profitable. .".U A.

Angeles, Dec. is. Hiram O, Denby, teacher iiv geology in , Drake University, Des Moines, explored the mysterious cave on roint Dume that has long been the objective point of numerous searchers. - ' ' For many years there has been vague story that a cavern had been discovered, but tip to this time it has not been possible to definitely locate it or find any human being who had found , its hidden opening and pene trated its depths. ,, r Denby found the entrance and fol- lowed, the cleft in the earth forty feet The floor and walls gave evtdence that the cavern at one time contained great clefts. Denby made discoveries which convinced him that the natural cave had beeri the retreat of a people whd antedated Sir Francis Drake, These evidences appear in the form of hieroglyphics painted with an endur ing ochre upon the walls. ' The painting are such in form and character as might have been execut ed by Artecs, cave dwellers of Mexico or those flat headed races who were driven westward from the deserts of what is now New Mexico, says Denby. The paint is covered with an enamel which at first glance seems to have been burned or baked over the draw ings. ; .
