SPOILS HIS WORK.
Collector Wise Opposes the Habeas
CORPUS rIiil.


The good and wise men who gave to the peo.
pie OF America the habeas-corpus act never
dreamed that in the last days of the nineteenth
century the law would be misused for the bene-
fit OF an alien race; that 1t would enable Chi
nese forbidden by law 20 land 10 United States

such is the case.
For years The Federal courts in this city have
been used by the Chinese and their white hire
lingS 10 nuilfy tile exclusion act. A Chinese
VINO has never been outside bis native land
crosses the ocean and attempts to land. The
Collector OF Port examines him and rinds that
he Is a laborer or other person excluded by law
from landing and the Collector orders him TO

Ii he has any means or influence the habeas-
corpus mill IS worked for his benefit.
One OF his counirymen goes before Federal
court and swears that the passenger is u native
Of the United States or other person entitled 10
land aud a writ of babeaS corpus Is granted.
The Chinese appears for trial-he or some one
who looks like hm-and questions which he
could not answer when inierrogated by the
Collector are no longer embarrassing 10 him,
for he or the man who has taken his place has
been coached.
Collector Wise has determined to put an end
to this way OF violating the exclusion act. He
is preparing test case, which will be submitted
TO the court at an early date and has strong
hope OF his success although he is aware that
he VIII be bitterly opposed by the attorneys

"Why should l keep force of men at work

A WONDERFUL FOOD.
Evaporated Cream the Latest inven-
tlon of Dietary Science.


Ii almost seems that the elixir OF life, which
philosophers in the middle ages vainly devoted
their lives to seeking were about TO come 10
mankind naturally and simply at last by the
marvellous modern inventions In dietary
science.
For instance, the emulsions, which In these
days are given so much TO consumptves, are
prepared upon purely scientific principles
based upon fundamental facts respecting the
process OF digestion. Investigations have shown
that animal fat, OF so much Importance az an
article Of diet, is mol actually digested, but is
divided. or In other words. is converted into
an emulsion before 1t goes to act as fuel in
building lid the vital energy.
The process OF condenslng milk was invented
by Gail Borden. with the intention OF rendering
il more paIstable. The discoVerer OF the pro-
cess scarcely realized the dietary value OF his
invention. The company, however. which con-
tinued his patents aud trademark has con-
tlnually kept up with the march of scientific
progress in the matter of new food inventions.
and what is 50 extensively sold today as
evapOrated cream, Borden's Peerless brand,
Is a perfect food for lnyalids. Ii is more than
( substitute for crude milk.
what is known as evaporated cream Is in
J realltY only about one-Quarter pure cream. It
