Gs-eeNYiIgag Old

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. It does not mean weakness or
feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. 1t is of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assimilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

What Is the Population of Arizona
 Today?

In the year 1900, when the national census was taken, the population of Arizona was shown to be 122,931. At the general election in November of that year there were 16,62O votes polled.
 At the election of last November 21.427 votes were boiled. This was gain of 4.SO7 votes, or 2S.9 per cent, ir four years Of course, the population of the territory has increased propor- tionately, and this would indicate a population at present of 15s,4S6.
 But, as everybody knows, the census of four years ago were not accurate. The returns were considerably short of the actual population. The small com pensation received by the enumerators led them to neglect the sparsely set tied communities. Instead of being only 122. .9S1 in the year 191O, the popu- IatiCn of Arizona was at least 13O,o0O.
 That was a presidential year, as this was, and a delegate to congress and county officers were elected. The year 1900 should be a fair basis of compaIi- son, therefore, for the year 1904. If, then, the vote of 16.62O which was boiled in 1900 indicated a population of I3O OOO it follows that the vote of thls year-21, ,427-indicates a population Of 167 ,OOO
 And 167,O0O, we guess, is just aSout the population of Arizona today.
 And incidentally the fact should not be overlooked that a territory ia which the voting population is increasing at the rate of 2S9 per cent. every four years is enjoying a pretty healthy growth. It proves that the increase in the population of Arizona is about three times as rapid as the increase in the population of the whole country.

Financial Assistance for CaIifornia's s
 Wizard

According to a Washington. dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Carnegie institute has made large allotment of money to Luther Burbank of California in order to enable him to carry on for ten years a series of Ie- seaches in developing new vegetables, fruits and grasses.
 The trustees of the Carnegie fund for scientific research could not have chosen a more worthy recipient. All newspaper readers are familiar. iE general way, with what Burbank has accomplished but it will be Interesting to note this resume of his work, for which we are indebted to the Chron- icle:
 Q For thirty years Luther Burbank, the wizard of agriculture" has conducted a series of successful experiments m improving fruits. flowers and veg etables. He reached Santa Rosa in the fall of 1875, with few resources ex- cept a resolute, confident spirit and ten soon built up a general nursery busj- ness, and, at the same time, made most extraordinary advances in plant breed. ing.
 Burbank brought out, in 1888, ten va rieties of Japanese plums. In 1893 ne began to raise seeding plants and crcssbred seedlings, and also produced the Giant prune. hybrid walnuts and a new quince. These were followed in 1895 by the Hale plum and Van peman quince. In 1898 he added three new plums to his list of original produc- tions. together with the Pearl prune and the October purple plum; aud in 1899 four new varieties of plums. the EugaF prune and the pineapple quince. Since 1870 Burbank has also produced eight varieties of roses, two new can mas (the Tarrytown and Burbank), two neN cherries and several varieties of euiRce. He mas also produced the fa- nous Burbank potato and succeeded in turning the California poppy from gold to red. Another of his floral won ders is the Shasta daisy. which is about a foot in circumference.
 BUrbanks latest achievements have  been the perfection of the thorniess cactus. When this cactus is developed on the desert it is claimed that most of the terrors of the California and the Arizona deserts will be eliminated, as the new plant will serve as food for man and forage for animals. Another recent exploit of Burbank's is the pro- ductiOn of an everlasting Australian flower. a blossom which does not fade, even when cut from the plant
 Burbank's main experimental farm, comprising ten acres, Is located at Sebastopol, Sonoma county, eight miles west of Santa Rosa. He has branch farms in Lyons valley, Lake county. for the raising of lilies and bulbs, and three other farms in Santa Rosa, and lie can justly claim that he
