Asks Writ of Custer
Three Companies in Trust

The information charges these
three companies with having formed
a trust in this state and having con-
spired to divide the territory in this
state among them so as to prevent
competition.
By reason of the publicity given the
preliminary proceeding in the news
papers, Attorney General Hadley re-
ceived scores of letters from all parts
of the United States, and has in this
manner accumulated documentary
evidence sufficient in his judgment
to justify the custer writ. Those ia
miliar with the investigation as it has
been thus far prosecuted hint at the
possibility of other suits, collateral
and incidental to these. and there is
no doubt that the attorney general
has struck a train of evidence which
will lead to startling disclosures.
The writ in this case is returnable
on the first day of the April term of
the supreme court, which convenes

Food for Brain Workers.


Mental work requires much less
food than does physical labor. Re-
cent careful experiments which have
been made, show that men engaged
in active mental labor and abstaininS
from muscular eXertion. require prac'
tlcally no more food than men at rest,
This is a fact of very great import
ance for students, ministers, and 9TH
er professional men whose occupation
does not require any considerable
amount of effort, since the taking OF
food in excess of that which is re-
quired results in the filing of the
blood with poisons, and in conse-
quence crowding of the tissues with
tissue wastes and poisonous matters
which Interfere with all the bodily
functions, and especially with the
functions of the brain and nerves.
Mental activity is clouded, sleep may
be prevented, and all the effects OF
nervous exhaustion produced by a
comparatively slight expenditure OF
energy. giving rise to languor, some
times depression, and at other times
irritability, confusion, and indecislon
of mind, even moroseness and melan
choly.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.

DR.. S. A. Knopf, the eminent New
York physician who ahas given a great
deal of attention to the subject of
tuberculosis. took occasion not long
since in a scientific paper to condemn
the popular notion that alcohol is a
remedy for consumption He says:
"There is an idea that alcohol is a
remedy or even a specific remedy for
consumption There has never been
a greater mistake made. Alcohol has
never cured and never will cure
tuberculosis 1t will either prevent or
retard recovery. 1t is like a two
edged weapon; on one side it poi
sons the system, and on the other side
1t ruins the stomach and thus prevents
this organ from properly digesting the
necessary food. Truly pathetic are
the results of this erroneous doctrine
in the families of the poor where, in
stead of procuring good nourishment
for the invalid. liquor has been bought
in far too large quantities, so that
often there was not enough money left
for food for the sufferer nor for the
other members of the family"

Water Publication.

A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention to the fact that
an extremely small quantity OF sui
phate of copper will prevent the
growth of algae in lakes, ponds and
storage reservoirs, and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs. The ques-
ton at once arises whether this meth
cd can be considered thoroughly hy-
gjenic. The probability is that the
small amount of copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by com
bining with vegetable substances so
that the water will be left practically
pure; nevertheless, the addition OF
chemical substances to water cannot
be considered the most desirable
method Of publication. Boiling and
filtering through Pasteur filter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap, and boiling is an easy and sim
pie process. The Old-fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
lied upon.

predisposition to Tuberculosis.

The abnormal fear of tuberculosis
which haunts so many minds is bred
of ignorance. The awful results of
the white terror" have impressed
themselves upon all, but as with the
aborigine, when he first encountered
the gun-bearing explorer, the reason
why is hidden The native heard the
gun sneak and saw his brother fall.
The sudden death terrified him. He
did not stop to inquire the cause. He
fed in abject fear.
To-day the ravages of tuberculosis
are stupendous. Are you inquiring
into the why. or are you trembling
lest it seize you? Are you trying to
dodge an inscrutable foe. or are you
studying to give intelligent battle?
The tenement dweller says, 81 can not
escape the plague, | will await my
turn" The son or brother of a con-
sumptive says: ut is in the family,
| must suffer the same death" The
weakened victim of intemperance or
neglect of vital laws says: my con-
stitution is wrecked am no match
for this relentless foe"
DR.. Knopf asks and answers the
following pertinent query: who are
the individuals who must be particu.
larly careful so as not to be attacked
by the almost ever present tubercle
bacillus.
"There are four classes: First, those
who have a hereditary predispositior
to consumption; secondly. those who

claim was a mistake, the amount OF

A New York paper publishes an ac-
count of successful effort recently
made by Mr.. n o. Nelson, in South
ern California, to provide for the poor
er classes. Mr.. Nelson has established
at Indio. in Southern California, what
he calls a health camp for consump-
tives. We quote the following de-
scription of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that it may encourage
others to do likewise; for certainly
no more beneficent work can be under
taken by anyone:
"The camp is located in a desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There is no rain, no
fog, no clouds. The winter days are
all warm, the nights comparatively
cold.
"The camp was established in De-
cember 1902. to provide in part for
the large number of consumptives ana
other iuvalds who go to Southern
California. Most of the invalids have
little means; they can not afford eX-

ed by hotels and boarding houses.
"To meet the requirements of such
patients. Mr.. Nelson bought one nun
dred and twenty-five acres Of land ad-
Joining the Indio depot. THIS tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells, and by putting most of the land
under cultivation. in order to give con-
valescents something TO do.
"Tents. with all necessary equip
ment for sleeping and taking meals,
have been set up. Land and water
are free to those who have their own
outfit. A small rental for tents is
made to those who can not pay, and
where necessary, board is given them,
All expenses need not be more than
from $3.50 to $400 a week.
work is provided for those who are
able to do it. so that their care does
not become a burden on the camp.
"The camp is situated in the midst
of a sandy valley one hundred miles
long and three to ten miles wide,
The mountains on each side rise by
degrees W lOuI Ihouoohu anu H'N
thousand feet high. In some places in
the foothills there are springs and
vegetation.
'Tn the valleys most of the land
has been taken up in the past few
years. The crops of melons and vege-
tables are early and bring high prices.

SOME SIMPLE DISHES.

Breakfast Toast.-Cut rather thin
slices of bread into two or three
rieces. Put these into the oven and
LET them bake very slowly for two or
three hours, or until of golden color
and crisp throughout. This is an ex-
oellent substitute for breads and much
more wholesome. 1t is delicious served
with cocoanut or dairy cream or but
ter.
Cocoanut Cream.-Cut fresh cocoa
nut into thin slices and grind the nut
very fine in a chopper or some strong
hand mill. If nothing of this sort is
available, the cocoanut may be grated.
To each cup of the prepared nut add
one cup of hot water, stirring and
teating with a spoon to extract as
much of the juice as possible. Drain
off the LIQUID and add a similar guam
tity of hot water, and, after beating
asain very thoroughly, strain through
a cloth or very fine sieve, pressing
out all the liquid possible. This may
he used at once as a substitute for
milk. to be eaten with rice or other
grains, or to prepare puddings OF
sauces. It is excellent served with
granose flakes or eaten with zwie-
back. If placed on the ice for a few
hours, the cream will rise to the tor
and may be taken off. making a pure
cocoanut butter.
